Hi all,
Figured I'd open a discussion regarding the next phase of IF accessibility and features.
FSTramp 8.0 is out in a few days, and we've been waiting for three months. What we thought was going to be a huge update because... its 8.0, ends up being a rotating map while you fly. Wow, that's it? And we have to pay a subscription for this when in reality we should only be paying a one-time purchase like most sim utility apps.
So my hope for IF all phases is when complete, we can avoid using both Tramp and FSX Pilot because both have their flaws. Tramp developer refuses to consider even the smallest accessibility change. FSX pilot doesn't use the actual aircraft autopilot, which means you have to tweak it and you ultimately spend more time number crunching and tweaking rather than flying.
The biggest concern I have re: autopilot things in general is those planes that don't use the standard simulator autopilot and disables the main sim one. Tramp created its custom autopilot feature to get around this.
However, that might be phase 3 or 4 things. To start off, what speech features and perhaps others are planned for this next upcoming preview to begin phase 2? We can discuss that first.
