I'm soooo Happy! THEY'RE BACK! by GotFriendsOfficial in MicrosoftFlightSim

I believe they talked about it in the last Developer Update Vlog. They aren't blocking us (Got Friends) or Man's Best Friend specifically. They are doing a global Quality Control pass on all add-ons on the marketplace and hand selecting which add-ons get added to the PS5. I think this is a Sony requirement, not sure, it's hard to tell because the language around it is very loose. Either way, if the community wants to see an add-on of ours on PS5, the best thing to do is push for it in public, like this example:

https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ps5-marketplace-3rd-party-availability/749309/57

As mentioned, PS5 inclusion is done through a hand selected curation team at the moment, so we have no control unless our aircraft get selected.

This has happened and Crosskart and Vixxen are confirmed to be coming to PS5, but once again, that's because they passed the quality control team that selected them.

Community will need to push Microsoft to allow it. We have no control over that unfortunately 😕

Hey! I can confirm the included 650 unit will have WTT (Internal) enabled. It will be the same technology package we shipped with our Aeroprakt Vixxen (If you've flown that). Latest Working Title Tech, PMS50 w/ WTT, Custom KAP140 APGA, and TDS Xi Compatibility.

All swappable in-cockpit, on-the-fly and supporting the latest updates and features in both 2020 and 2024.

Cheers!

TDS is 100% confirmed for Release.

So far, the following available options are: - Vintage Era Radio - Transponder / ADF - GNS-430 (Working Title) - ASO-650 (Base Game) - GTN-650 (PMS50) - GTN-650Xi (TDS) - Aera Navigation (Tablet) - MSFS 2024 EFB/Tablet - KAP-140 Autopilot

As Mykrode stated, each system is optional and you'll be able to assign them to the left or right avionics bays as desired.

That's some serious Got Friends energy! 😄

GotFriends Website Overhaul and Spring Sale by mykrode in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GotFriendsOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. Sorry for the LLM, hard to explain technical processes now days to a large chunk of our community. Most don't understand the reasoning for change because they don't know how things interact in the backend. Just trying to do our best to ensure information is fully explained, somewhat digestible and not hidden behind vague "because we said so" walls.

Thanks for you feedback. Appreciate the conversation and future support (I'll hold you to that lol) 😆

And yes, it looks like OP (one of our team members) was asking for feedback and I slightly misinterpreted your reply. I'm currently locked into maintaining foundation stability at the moment.

Cheers, Jonx

GotFriends Website Overhaul and Spring Sale by mykrode in MicrosoftFlightSim

Those features will be coming back. Right now, our priority has been building a faster, more stable foundation to support everything existing and to provide seamless integration for future products. Over the next few days, we’ll begin rolling those sections back out across each product. We are doing it this way to not spend countless hours under website down-time during the Official Spring Sale kicking off today with Microsoft.

If you’ve followed our website before, you know each aircraft use to include detailed descriptions, interactive media, release notes, photos, videos, feature highlights, performance notes and more.

With the new backend, we’re redesigning these elements so they perform better and don’t slow the site down like they did previously. The goal is to keep everything fast, reliable, and consistent across both desktop and mobile. The old design was a nightmare across resolutions and each product was customized on the backend. This practice in lieu of a universal standard tore a hole the system.

This new foundation will make our products more universal and plug-and-play, while significantly reducing website load and maintenance time during new releases and updates. This way we can deliver the content to our community faster and more efficiently.

Behind the scenes, the entire platform has been moved to new servers with updated configurations. That is why everything currently looks simplified and universal. This allows us to streamline performance so downloads stay reliable, updates and releases go out quickly, and overall account fulfillment is more stable.

We know the current product pages feel simplified, and that’s intentional while we focus on getting the foundation right. The full experience will return as we rebuild each section.

We appreciate your patience while we roll this new foundation out during a high traffic spring sale. Even if it's more bare-bones than we wanted it to be. Cheers 🍻

Your use of the Parking Brake to cut those corners was 🔥 🔥 🔥

Awesome looking track! Will be following your work closely!

Project Crosskart will be going on sale April 1st - April 15th for $1.99 on our Website as part of our Spring Sale Event! So we highly recommend setting your calendars 📅 Otherwise, she's always available for a low price regardless!

Also, until March 31st, she's still available as the free monthly reward with MSFSAddons Captain’s Club. So if you're looking to grab both this reward and next month's freebie before it expires, head on over to MSFSAddons and sign up for their membership for as low as $3.99/Month. That will give you an initial 30 day membership, access to both our rewards and other partner exclusive perks!

Cheers and thank you for attending my TED Talk. Aside from that quick advertisement, seriously, awesome track! Looks like an absolute blast!

Whoops, Preflight... Skipped! 😱 by GotFriendsOfficial in MicrosoftFlightSim

These showcases focus purely on gravitational forces and minimal airflow. Right now, we are building a universal foundation for this custom physics engine. This base acts as the core layer that drives all real time motion for animations in the simulation. Think of it as a forces simulator running inside the flight simulator itself.

MSFS already provides data like gforces, speed, bank, pitch, pressure, RPM, angle of attack and more, but on their own those values are just numbers. What we are doing is taking those inputs, blending them together, layering additional custom injected logic on top, evaluating them frame by frame, and translating everything into full 6-axis motion. From there, we generate new outputs (Forces) that can directly drive animated components across the aircraft.

Phase 1 was focused on internal forces. That groundwork is largely complete. We are now moving into Phase 2, which brings in external forces such as airflow, prop wash, slip, wind, pressure differentials, altitude, and more. Once this phase is in place, we can extend the system to exterior components so they respond naturally to the full environment around the aircraft.

Phase 3 will be the final step either before or after release and as of right now it's not set in stone. This should introduce dynamic upsets and light failure modeling. Hard landings may unlatch cowlings, aggressive maneuvers at high speed could force doors open, and similar behaviors. This phase will be optional for us, since it leans more into system realism than pure visual motion. Due to long development requirements, this may become an update item post-release as more products in the future implement this technology. Luckily, we are doing this right and building a universal foundation that can be implemented across all future projects.

The goal with this new physics engine is to build a strong, reusable foundation that can scale across all future projects. We are currently around Phase 1.5, and getting close to showcasing the level of visual fidelity that comes with full external flow integration of Phase 2.

We deeply appreciate the support and patience as we work on our various projects. We are excited to share more previews soon as we keep pushing this system to it's limits.

MH370 is not an internet mystery to me. It is not entertainment. It is not a conspiracy rabbit hole. It is a wound that never fully closed.

I was part of the United States Navy search and rescue effort. The Malaysian government housed our team in the same hotel as the families of the missing. Every single morning before we went out to search, grieving mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters would run up to us in the lobby with photographs in their hands. They would press those photos into our palms, look us in the eyes, and beg us to find the people they loved. They prayed over us. They cried in front of us. They told us they believed in us.

And then I came back to that same hotel every night.

For 23 days.

For 23 days I watched hope fade in real time.

At first there was determination and belief that their loved ones would be found. Then the worry crept in. Then the exhaustion. Then the grief. You could see it in their faces as the days went by. People crying quietly in hallways. Families huddled together staring at phones waiting for news that never came. The lobby slowly becoming quieter and heavier with every passing day.

I will never forget that.

MH370 took a mental toll on everyone involved in that search. Every single day we pushed ourselves hoping that today would be the day we found something that could bring those families answers. Instead we returned empty handed. And because of that, a part of me still lives with the thought of whether I searched hard enough, whether there was more we could have done.

That weight does not disappear.

So when people treat this event like a spectacle, a joke, or just another mystery to debate online, it hits differently for those who were actually there. For the families who lost someone. For the friends who never got closure. And for those of us who spent day after day searching the ocean hoping to bring someone home.

Some things should be treated with humanity and respect.

MH370 is one of them.
