Let me share my perspective as a real world engineer in aviation.īasically, in short, whenever we test avionics in real airplanes, we write complex test suites as well as generate thousands of test cases to validate the logic of our code. Moral: It's always easier to give consumer advice, than it is to take it. I'm just lamenting that I'm yet again in this position of having to shelve a product that REALLY should have released in a better state. Rotate will probably fix everything in patches and in three months time, this will all be a distant memory and it'll be a great product. I've been hyped for this product for 5 years. You might say that I'm a 'hater' or 'salty' or whatever but I'm really not. People are reporting that they've got to recalibrate and rebind all their controls to even get the thing to move, Honeycomb users are reporting all sorts of issues and now Rotate has announced the PW and PAX versions will be PAID future upgrades? Wow. The LNAV and (especially) VNAV are broken and poorly implemented. The textures are awful on the wings and look like the SSG. What I was not expecting something the feels so 'cheap' and half baked. However after 5 years of hype and development, a premium price, as well as huge long beta period, I thought the MD-11 at least it would have a QUALITY feel to it. I was expecting a few major bugs or a couple of features that would need a patch or two to iron out quirks. I was around for the MD-80's launch all those years ago and thus I was totally mentally prepared for there to be several issues on release.

Yet another plane I will have to hangar for 3+ months and hope that updates fix the most glaring issues.ĭon't get me wrong. I preach it to everyone hyped up on the latest new plane and yet, I always end up ignoring my own advice, jumping in feet first and getting disappointed.
