#Poll for how updates should go

A poll between more frequent but smaller updates, and less frequent but larger updates.

#

I imagine this suggestion by itself requires a poll

desert musk
#

I wanna see this interesting poll

slim steppe
#

I feel like small will win in any game but we'll se

tardy tapir
#

carl

buoyant burrow
#

I think a mix of both is good

#

Sometimes more frequent smaller ones, sometimes less frequent larger ones

#

But that’s already how it’s been so

slim steppe
#

Yeah

desert musk
slim steppe
#

Maybe like a rotating schedule of a few devs have a vehicle or small update this two week cycle, more the next, and all making a few for a big update

#

So devs get their work in game sooner and players get new vehicles more frequently instead of at one

desert musk
#

I can say that in my opinion I interested to see what the community will say (out of curiosity)

desert musk
sand jacinth
#

IMO

#

99% of the time, people will vote for smaller updates if the amount of content per timespan is the same

#

but it is probably more rewarding for devs in the end to develop bigger, themed updates

#

ultimately it's up to the dev team tho Dunno

humble plank
#

evidence'd by the significant jump in players after an update

#

they start playing at an update

#

play a few days

#

then get bored and get goin again

sand jacinth
#

i think

humble plank
#

not really

#

player count goes 400+ after an update

#

then it drops to like 150 after a few days again

mighty lava
#

Honestly good idea. Perhaps this would help the devs massively back-shelved projects that will never see the light of day

humble plank
#

idea

#

so much stuff backlogged, not to be released until 3 years later because they need a major update

mighty lava
humble plank
#

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS

#

they keep them there for so long that they literally become too outdated to even work in the game anymore

#

and then they have to remodel them

I remember seeing Kirov but that looked incomplete

mighty lava
sand jacinth
#

it's a long checklist, but goes by fast

#

idk i really like the idea of having larger, themed updates (even if we have to wait a little longer)

#

but i guess it could be worth making a poll to gauge public opinion

desert musk
#

Yes

fierce beacon
timber hamlet
#

this is not how it works

sand jacinth
#

but i think it'd still be interesting to see the poll results great

dev make update

#

update release when ready

dense compass
#

Does the amount of releasable stuff have any bearing over the release?

#

Are deadlines for work (if they exist) coordinated?

fierce beacon
#

dev release update when update ready

dense compass
#

What signifies a ready update corevector?

#

Also why is Hyper's pfp the evil insurance manager from the first incredibles movie?

sand jacinth
dense compass
#

Reasonable.

bold fog
#

jokes aside they don’t really seem to work on bugs between updates so i would personally vote for smaller, more frequent update

they release a few patches after a major update and then just leave bugs in the game until the next major update is ready

#

more frequent updates means more bug fixes faster

sand jacinth
#

like once in a while one of them goes "hey, we have a lot of aircraft ready to roll out, we should update this weekend"
and if most agree, then it rolls out

sand jacinth

#1309533628409188384 message

bold fog
#

oh is that why there was an update but no update log a while ago

sand jacinth
dense compass
#

I too would like to see smaller more consistent updates, even if one new aircraft is released. Most people don't 100% look forward to 100% of the things that are in a large update most of the time it's one or two things they use or like that they wanted to see added or fixed. That's just my personal experience.

sand jacinth
bold fog
#

this last update was like some cool helis, one or two cool planes, and then a boatload of sukhoi fighters probably put together with home depot phillips head screws

dense compass
#

Also an investigation needs to be done into the C-17's anomalous effects. I think this is the second time someone has released work on a C-17 remodel since it was remodeled a few years ago, and they've gone silent as well.

bold fog
#

i feel like the helis and the fighters could’ve been two separate updates with a bunch of bug fixes and those two individual planes split

sand jacinth
#

all those tsel aircraft are probably coming after the next update

sand jacinth
bold fog
dense compass

dense compass
#

ah well

#

so the thing is it's a quality control issue not a realism issue

bold fog
#

but then they turn around and say less doors = less passengers because of “safety standards irl” and deny a really cool concept aircraft just because a paper model wasn’t built of it

dense compass
#

every modeler is different and has different skill levels and levels of care for the work they do

bold fog
dense compass
#

again every modeler is different

#

and I'm pretty sure quality control is on an individual basis especially on the military side

dense compass
#

Honestly I don't really see how anybody can have time for 1000 passenger "found and explained" paper aircraft when there are tons of real designs that have flown but that is my very personal opinion on the matter.

fierce beacon
dense compass
#

yep

tranquil current
dense compass
#

Nevermind the plenty of aircraft in game that are asked by the community for a remodel routinely.

#

There's always something to do, so the question is where do aircraft that do not exist fit into the picture?

tranquil current
#

Also reminds me of Automobilista 2 poll where instead of bug fixes and features players voted for just more cars

tranquil current
dense compass
#

well the spacejet and T-4 sotka left the drawing board

#

I'm not use about the HS.141

tranquil current
#

Missing the point

dense compass
#

the distinction I was making was with paper and real aircraft

bold fog
dense compass
#

not with prototypes and production aircraft

tranquil current
#

Also no one denies real aircrafts

dense compass
tranquil current
#

Except blatant Nazi shit I don’t recall any denied real planes

dense compass
#

the injustice lives on eternally/j

tranquil current
bold fog
#

what's wrong with the hypermach

tranquil current
#

Everything

bold fog
#

it qualifies based on the modern rules of aircraft suggestion

tranquil current
#

Except it doesn’t

fierce beacon
#

Can we remove the Hypermach and replace it with Ye-155

dense compass
#

But the point that I'm making which I'm not sure is in contention with either of yours is that there are plenty of real planes, interesting planes with far more history than something on paper, that aren't in game or need a remodel. Where do paper aircraft fit into the game if one says real aircraft with more history should take precendent over those that aren't?

tranquil current
#

I’d wish

tranquil current
dense compass
tranquil current
#

I’m curious

#

I can bring up you a full list of all planes added in 2024 you wouldn’t count even 10 of them

dense compass
tranquil current
#

Saying that game changed its focus to paper stuff is in fact false

#

And that having 10-1 ratio of real/project are destructive to the game

dense compass
#

My personal opinion is that is was a mistake to set the precendent of allowing them, but that's just my opinion.

fierce beacon
tranquil current
#

So let’s just be as any regular plane game without no unique things deado

fierce beacon
#

We found our niche

dense compass
#

there is no worse reality than this

tranquil current
#

Didn’t I just told you not use it as an example

dense compass
#

do you know about tone indicators?

bold fog
tranquil current
#

This

dense compass
#

because there are WELL more than enough real planes out there that aren't in any game

bold fog
#

the only thing unique about aeronautica is a. the amount of aircraft and b. the extremely heavy focus on economy rather than flight sim

tranquil current
#

What buzzes me the most is how each project/paper plane raises controversy EACH TIME they even mentioned while still having ratio so below it’s barely noticeable

bold fog
#

only one of those are an absolutely good thing

dense compass
#

instead of a paper plane

tranquil current
#

… and it still being added in much bigger amount, what’s your problem

dense compass
#

the point is that we don't need paper aircraft to achieve uniqueness

tranquil current
#

I get it that you want some plane that wasn’t added yet, doesn’t mean we should drop everything else

dense compass
bold fog
tranquil current
#

Cooler more unique being cancelled due to budget or bureaucracy but being promising designs, maybe?

tranquil current
bold fog
#

yea non-real aircraft get denied constantly

#

i wish they weren't

#

idk how we went from that to this

tranquil current
#

I don’t recall myself going “meh I gonna scrap E-7 cuz I like this one pooperfarten 20000 from some magazine”

tranquil current
dense compass
#

the development time creating a new plane in blender configuring and testing it is all being spent on something that never flew

tranquil current
#

T-4MS which are first project plane in half a year if not more had to be fought for to be added with other higher ups with so many reasonings and conditions for it being added that it’s almost ridiculous

dense compass
#

the fundamental question is

#

do you value paper planes as much as you do real ones?

tranquil current
#

..

#

Are you

#

Like

dense compass
#

if you can't answer that's fine

tranquil current
#

Even reading what I was saying all this time

dense compass
#

Yes.

bold fog
#

carry

tranquil current
#

There’s 5 project planes on 150 for the last YEAR alone, what do you think, we value projects more than real planes?

bold fog
#

they don't do fictional aircraft really

#

the only ones they have done are some badge planes here and there

dense compass
#

not one that has to do with the aeronautica development program as a whole

tranquil current
# dense compass this is a personal question

I value real planes more, I make real planes more, I make shit ton of variants for them, but I do love projects as well and having them is also nice touch and I want to be able to make them, yes

dense compass
#

Alright

tranquil current
#

It was settled before me so I can’t be sure 100% but that’s my guess

bold fog
#

i still think they shouldn't be badge exclusive

#

i can fly real airliners in like every flight sim, i wanna be able to fly fictional ones too, aeronautica could make itself the place to go for cool fictional aircraft

tranquil current
#

I think it can be redone in a way gacha games doing that (lemme explain), where you can have reruns of exclusive characters from previous patched

bold fog
#

but it's too hellbent on being "realistic" (when it's not) so they don't get added

tranquil current
#

But good luck convincing everyone else

#

Because guess what, there’s literally 3 people in whole dev staff who actually enjoys projects

#

And apparently it’s still a problem

bold fog
#

so like who cares what the players think then
it's y'alls game just add what you want

dense compass
#

literally 1984

bold fog
#

what calvin said but 🧇

tranquil current
dense compass
#

though I doubt we're arguing at all really

tranquil current
#

It’s a convo yeah

dense compass
#

you all value real planes to a higher degree than those that are not real and are summed up by drawings

sand jacinth
#

aggressively agreeing on every topic

bold fog
#

also if players don't like fictional aircraft they can just... not fly them

tranquil current
#

Which is why I’m confused why there’s still a problem with sometimes added project planes

dense compass
#

All of my caveats are rather personal on the matter and I'll leave you to your specific opinions as well.

bold fog
#

i don't like sukhoi fighters, i don't complain about them getting added though

tranquil current
#

Like cmon it’s barely a fraction of planes being added

bold fog
#

i just don't fly them

sand jacinth
tranquil current
#

It’s so minuscule you can barely see them in vehicle database (just don’t open SST category Skrolled )

tranquil current
#

It’s not a fighter

bold fog
dense compass
#

don't say that it's a fighter to me😭/j

bold fog
#

super tacano moment

dense compass
#

real

tranquil current
#

Strap some UB-32 to Su-31

dense compass
#

anyhow yes to updates being small enough that they contain even one aircraft

sand jacinth
#

meh

bold fog
#

smaller/more frequent updates would be good for timing updates

tranquil current
#

Giving complexity of updates it’s not uh… what word I should use… reasonable? To update game for a single plane

bold fog
#

we could've had a christmas update for 2024 but eh

tranquil current
#

I still like idea of theme updates more deado

#

Something Aussie is doing rn

sand jacinth
#

i can see the argument for smaller update, but 1 plane updates would feel kinda cheap

bold fog
#

but like not 16

sand jacinth
dense compass
#

less cheap more like being able to bring more attention to the effort put into bringing that one aircraft to market

bold fog
#

like 3-5 planes/aircraft per update and more focus on bug fixes and non-aircraft changes to the game

dense compass
#

it should be a celebration every time

bold fog
#

cough sound design cough

sand jacinth
dense compass
#

that's fair

bold fog
#

i haven't really seen any celebration for updates

sand jacinth
bold fog
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sand jacinth
#

personally i feel like people are way more hyped when a big, themed update releases

tranquil current
#

Yep

dense compass
#

because this game unfortunately has a rather specific problem of seasonal crowds

tranquil current
#

Noticed with Udyana and VTOLs updates

sand jacinth
#

and setting "smaller, frequent updates" as a policy would probably be incompatible with this

dense compass
#

like shivers warthunder

sand jacinth
#

it's nigh impossible to achieve perfect replayability

bold fog
#

aeronautica is a grind though
grindy games benefit with more frequent updates because people tend to leave grindy games more

#

richer players who have like everything they want don't really have a reason to come back after updates

tranquil current
sand jacinth
#

some games like TF2 have done it
for most games, player count is dictated by updates

sand jacinth
#

that's a normal cycle of life for games Dunno

dense compass
bold fog
#

like cool lemme fly and upgrade these aircraft and oops i'm done after a month so time to wait for the next update and play something else

tranquil current
#

It’s uh… usual?

#

I mean every game I play is like that

bold fog
#

well you want to avoid that generally

tranquil current
#

GTA0, NFSU… Genshin zazu

bold fog
#

at least in the perspective of game design

tranquil current
#

Well yeah

#

But that’s not something achievable when you’re just a party of volunteers

bold fog
#

yes it's a passion project but is one of the passions not to have a really big and widespread game

sand jacinth
tranquil current
#

It’s barely achievable with jobs on payroll, let alone volunteer like Aero

dense compass
bold fog
#

a flight game? no because there's like 2 of those ever

dense compass
#

but no

#

not really

bold fog
#

especially on roblox

dense compass
#

the indie crowd is the opposite of this espeically for cult classics

#

far less of a gradient between player counts

tranquil current
#

I’d say we do have a problems, a lot, occasional paper plane once a half a year isn’t one of them imo

dense compass
#

When an update comes out I check to see if the planes I fly frequently have been remodeled or if one I've been waiting for is out.

#

I fly regardless because I don't play for novelty

bold fog
#

i'm more excited to see what other features they add

dense compass
#

features too

bold fog
#

planes are cool and all but there's a lot of those already, i want better sound design, customization features on existing planes, etc.

dense compass

I've been flying a lot more since the waypoint/flightplan system was added

but some other ships

sand jacinth

have been in limbo for a long time

humble plank
#

like the Kirov and Bismarck

#

have been there a looooong time

#

its still there

tranquil current
#

Ships were delayed because no jobs for military ships, then we ran a vote and people voted to add them without jobs

#

Did it made it better?

#

Now they’re useless piles of pixels for millions of currency

humble plank
#

you ran a vote a year or two after they'd been backstocked

#

at that point

sand jacinth
tranquil current
#

Because we didn’t wanted to release half baked content?

humble plank
#

Its not half baked is it

#

even with no jobs

tranquil current
humble plank

Whats taking military jobs so long regardless

we've gotten like 10 different jobs in the meanwhile

idek how the game is still up with a discord link pasted inside because i've been banned 4 separate times on roblox for my own game having a discord code

it would be nice to know how it does tho

otherwise you get this

I’m curious

humble plank
#

me making a poll suggestion for updates

#

another dudes voting on a game they dont play for vehicles without jobs

#

or alternatively backing away on something they voted to be added themselves

timber hamlet
#

it depends on whether it is feasible at the time or not to have it high frequency or low frequency

#

right now it is the latter end as we still work on the patch/qol update

#

after that we will see

how does this fit in with your other games

They’re not much active lately tho

bold fog
#

i joke but i legitimately would like to help with better engine sounds for a lot of planes

#

so

clear wave
#

technically it would be possible however its not something weve actually done before

#

(in regards to sound devs)

clear wave
#

infact i had to make a brand new backstocked list to organise this update a week ago

bold fog
clear wave
#

the actual audio is sound ids but the game makes like transitions and stuff between ids

#

so its both ig

bold fog
#

yea i figured
that shouldn't be hard to work with as long as there's some way to preview sounds

clear wave
#

yea

#

in order to get hired as a sound guy id say the process would be similar to our music guy

bold fog
#

not every plane in the game needs a unique sound either i just wanna give the ones that can have one, one
as well as making the generic sound for all non-special aircraft better overall

clear wave
#

like you would have to organise it with a lead dev or sth 🤷‍♂️

#

best asking rice if youre genuinely interested

clear wave
#

some audios are a bit

#

questionable Skull20

bold fog
#

should i dm or ping in server first when asking lol

clear wave
#

yea aidens pretty busy and inactive nowadays

#

itd be best to ping rice

#

i dont think rice checks dms so

#

either way youd still probably have to wait for a contractor class

#

which im hoping is sooner rather than later

graceful wyvern
#

rice checks his dms if you ping him here beforehand

clear wave
#

true

graceful wyvern
#

or at the very least let him know about something

bold fog

contractor applications

#

basically you make some stuff for a month and if its good it gets added and you can become contributor
