Hi,
I deleted our additional comments requesting mobile aircraft. Please do not repeat-comment the same request here. Also, this isn’t the right place to make feature requests – that was the whole point of the blog post.

In reply to Steve Stiglic-Buxton. Oh these posts are great. But then sometimes we see Ben reply to a troll and I can’t help but think that is taking valuable time away from him taking advantage of that new Vulkan overhead and getting us better weather, etc for the next iteration of X-Plane.

In reply to Craig. Well, there may be UDP features that people want that aren't there yet, whether or not it is more or less capable than simconnect. The UDP interface does not have all of the flexibility that the C API has.

I actaully appreciate these ‘update posts’ and also the comments
left below. I feel closer to Laminer R than just reading my fellow
sim’s putting in their t’wopenny-worth on the dot.org.

More posts from you guys would always be appreciated and let
us know you are working on ‘Something’….

… and now to that ‘Features Update’ link … here we go ! :O)

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the reply.

In connecting with MSFS and P3D, I can use SimConnect. FSUIPC is a third party program that connects to SimConnect, as do other third-party add-ons. I guess what I was suggesting was an X-Plane equivalent of SimConnect, but I believe that’s what you have explained is already provided through the UDP interface, in which case I understand that my request is unnecessary.

Thanks for the reply Tyler.

My post here was more to query if there were any plans to provide a LR backed solution (emulating MS’s approach, as you say, or doing something altogether different) or whether I could have structured my feature request better.

I believe you and Ben have answered both points.

In reply to Chris Hansen. We’d welcome these as individual requests, we just don’t want “laundry list” posts of many logically distinct features—those actually make it harder for us to gauge what people want.

In reply to Chris Hansen. I would suggest resubmitting the items individually with a good enough explanation that other users understand the purpose. This way the community would get to vote on your suggestions versus it being just one person's voice in this blog.

In reply to Chris Hansen. One feature per request is easier to handle for the developers and easier to vote for by the community. You had missions, stackable user objects and outdoor camera view in a single request. Just make multiple single request if they don't exist yet. And I'm sure they will stay up.
