One wonders if there will ever be a 3d model hub so that people can submit local landmark buildings in areas that will never see any kind of photogrammetry. I think that's what a lot of folks were hoping the "world hub" was going to be back when it was initially talked about. Just being able to modify existing airfields won't allow for the inclusion of new ones missing altogether due to poor ground imagery, either.
That's what I'd like. I know plenty of other love airports and spend a decent amount of time there but they don't interest me. They're nothing more than a start and maybe finish place. As long as there's a runway, I'm good.
Being able to more accurately model the area around me would be fantastic but I fear that may be too problematic.
Can’t wait for worldhub to model my local airstrip I fly from!
Moving on from the Hub would be to make it so that buildings that appear as industrial warehouses because they are big could be corrected to the right type of building (i.e. large houses or stately homes etc. Generic buildings for replacement would be fine instead of trying to model someone's actual house.
if you turn off photogrammetry it already does that with autogen, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean
At the moment, it appears that it sees things like large houses as industrial units so you get a bit industrial unit in the middle of a park instead of a stately home or similar. I'm suggesting that there could be a library of different kinds of buildings that you could use as more appropriate replacements. I haven't tried turning photogrammetry off so I'm not sure how that would affect things. @@markfischer5112
Great information as always. I love your flight videos. Always well done.
World hub is going to be awesome, i've been thinking about something like this for a few days now as i'm planning to correct and make LPMA (Madeira Island Airport) more accurate and close to real life as possible using sdk and even hand modeling some stuff if possible, great feature!
That would make me very happy! I live there and have flown there. I really wished it would be more precise in the sim😊
The fact that they will have review and approve the hub submissions means they will have to research if the data is correct. Which means they could fix the airports without help.
It's a way for them to filter which airports need improvement. If they get hundred of hub submissions for a single airport then it'll flag it as something that needs to be fixed. They don't have the manpower to individually scrub each airport in the sim. The problem isn't that they can't fix the airport, the problem is how a team from France is supposed to find an error with some small airport in Arizona or Canada on their own. That's why they're relying on people who are familiar with the airports to fix them so that they get on Asobo's radar.
So this is essentially the same as X-Plane scenery gateway?
It's sad that Microsoft just does not care about VR at all, especially since that is the best way to play this game. I haven't had any head bobbing issues but just them saying they aren't planning any fixes is pretty standard for how they handle anything VR related.
When are they coming out with the 737-9 MAX that has the door plug jettison feature?
chuckles...
PMDG will make the max after the 777s and 747s
I played FSX for years and almost every day, in 2015 I stopped playing and last month I bought MSFS 2020 and the VelocityOne Flightstick thinking I would have the same experience, the MSFS graphics are way better than FSX but unfortunately they cut lots of features that were really fun to use and gave FSX a new way to enjoy, one feature I really enjoyed in FSX is clicking a drop menus and pick any flight and switch to its cam while your AP taking care of your flight, it was amazing especially when switching to real online players who are flying around you, also during flight I used to switch my cam to any airport or land mark but unfortunately this feature is not available anymore, there is a drone cam in MSFS but it's limited and not fun, besides that, the AI is dumb it crashes your plane most of the time and the AP is glitchy it sometimes just stops functioning and it let your plane fly in a straight line off course without any warning, I tried it couple of times but it was frustrating to play it in this state, hopefully they're going to fix it soon.
$250 for something that looks like it was dug out of the bargain bin at 5-Below. Zero ergonomics whatsoever. So in the name of minimalist design and anti-gamer aesthetics, we’ve forgone comfortability?
X-Plane Scenery Gateway has been doing this for years. World Hub seems like it is doing exactly the same thing.
Maybe the VR issue isn't planned becuase they will drop VR support? Isn't MSFT dropping windows mixed reality?
7:20 Gamepad : why not just get and Xbox controller along with the official Microsoft keyboard/chatpad and map the buttons as you please? I use that for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck and works out pretty well. Plus the keys are backlit when pressed.
heck for $250 you could get a pretty good hotas
The controller seems to have a market in mind of people either mobile gaming/simming or that have limited space for "toys." I have a logitech yoke that's been sitting in a closet for a year just because it's a pain to make room for it - only to tear it down a few hours later.
So, to me, the many-axis controller could actually get me simming more just because it will be more convenient.
Now, is $250 too much? Yeah, it's a bit steep, something tells me there's a "simmer tax" baked in - just like with most products for flight sims.
Some great information here, thanks for sharing! 👍
I hope world hubwill enanble us to cut down the trees in the final approach path of many airports.
The Yawman Arrow MSRPs for $250.
To compare, the Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS pack, including rudders, costs $260.
That's bonkers.
You're comparing a startup with an established company with large scale manufacturing.
@@tiadaid well, if the startup brings an inferior product with very little innovation if any at all for the same price as established products, I don´t think they
made a smart choise. I´d be surprised if they get more than the development costs out of it.
The Yawman Arrow Is Only Sold in America And Canada Also It Is Only Left Hand Stick
At $250 bucks there are way better controller solutions out there than the Yawman. Not worth the money especially when you could buy an Xbox Elite II Controller for less, and have it work with the Xbox as well as PC for $100 cheaper. So, no, don't waste your money or our time reviewing that thing.
There are £100-150 Thrustmaster HOTAS that are truly excellent for flight sims, my friend uses one with his VR now and he was practically creaming this trousers at how good it was. As for console controllers: I urge everyone looking to get a pro version to get the PS5 Dualsense Edge, it is pricey at £200 without a sale but it has all the basic features of a regular PS5 Dualsense controller _(gyro, trackpad, inbuilt mic and speaker, extra buttons)_ plus all the extra features found in the Xbox Elite controller _(back paddles, adjustable triggers, swappable sticks,)_ but most importantly *it is repairable!* You can replace a lot of parts without tools, including swapping out the entire stick systems for as little as £20, that alone is going to save you a fortune in stick-drift problems alone!
It’s a waste of time talking about anything a console can do or use.
X52 Saitek- not Logitech, bought before LT bought ST. 2004! Still works- X52 baby!
It's the axis sliders that differentiate the YawMan, so not a fair comparison with console controllers. Throttle, rudder/elevator trim, glider spoilers, even flaps are great with sliders. Agree the price is a tad high still.
It looks awesome to be able to play msfs without the big controller but the price needed to be 100 or less.
world hub is a game changer!!!! enabling the community to fix the world!
Can you all delete Russia? Thanks
@@ThomasDevOnline No, because the aim of World Hub is to match as close to reality as possible. You cannot delete Russia, because Russia exists in the real world. Which world do you live in? I have no idea.
@@tsikinite first day on internet?
is world hub similar to the X plane equivalent?
I can’t see why anyone would buy a console controller for $250, at that price just get a good HOTAS instead.
Or a nice CH yoke for 175.00. I have had one for years that is still going strong.
Be neat be able to land and fly at military base airfields. Personally, I am going to be like Sweden and Korea and land on highways and country roads haha!
Glad about the Hub cuz our Langley Regional Airport has its older and newest towers, both standing. But will MFS2024 have better graphics or less stutter?😮
I really wish they would add a 321 Neo or 737NG/Max in a sim update instead of more planes we already have/don’t need. (Referring to the ini320 Neo and A310 mainly)
Good video. Really looking forward to the World Hub, if it's easy to use, I might even turn my hand at my local airport. Couple of things, the head bob in VR, it's a wimmsicle rediculous post, completely overblown farce. VR in MSFS arguable should have more 'reactional movement'. I don't feel it's a problem at all. Secondly the 'flight' gamepad for 250 dollars, what a load a rubbish that is, honestly for that money you can get a Logitech X56 which I have and have a superb experience.
What the Hub needs be like some have said is “easy to use.” Bless those who have been able to find the time to nail down the SDK and fix a lot of Asobo’s bs with poor quality airports. Bc the airports where I live suck so bad I don’t even know where they got their initial data from. (Soapbox rant) But I would love to fix airports, keep them up to date and delete fields that frankly don’t exist…some that never have. A cool thing would be to easily create a field. The ability to bring back historical airport that someone might want to add. Hell, everyone added Meigs I hope.
World Hub is going to be sweet! KMMV and KHIO, here I come! ✈️
BTW for VR, you can stop a lot of the head bobbing using the option on assistance options/piloting/turbulence: LOW
That gamepad looks interesting. It’s rare to see one with 6 face buttons plus all the standard features of an Xbox controller. The little foot pedal looking things on the bottom look kind of flimsy, though. I use a regular Xbox one gamepad for flight sim, but I do more Sega Saturn emulation honestly. I’d like to see a review of it, especially using it as a Xbox one replacement in general.
It would look much more interesting if it were under 100 dollars...
$250 for a game controller!!! Ouch!!! You can get a decent Virpil setup for that cost.
Id expect all its components to be extreme high end quality with a large amount of metal where possible.
In my more than 50 hours in VR I've never noticed the headbob thing
It's highly unrealistic how turbulence is conveyed in the sim. There's a long thread about the issue in the official forums. Everything and a bit more is said there.
Lmao Had a good laugh when you mentioned the price of the gamepad 😂
Wait one year after the gamepads release and you can get it for 50 bucks...
I'm surprised they bothered to update the 320neo, nearly everyone who wants to fly the neo can just download the FBW A32NX which is free and dramatically better than the default one.
Hope they fix crashing on the series consoles, the last updates have not been kind.
You don't need "World Hub" to hand craft any airport you like. When I was flying FSX, I downloaded, for free, airport modification software I used to modify a few small airports I used. I wouldn't be too enthusiastic to download an airport modified by who knows who. I would do it myself. I think there has been a lot of propaganda about this new flight simulator. For example, it has taken years to get seasons, the same seasons that were in FSX. It seems like one step forward, two back.
The point of world hub is to make it part of the game, so you don't need to download a whole heap of mods.

Love your content!
The world hub looks suspiciously similar to the teardown level editor
Sort of like a graphics wiki for airports. Amazing!!!
Interesting. I've been using MSFS almost every day since release, active on the official forums, downloaded plenty of addons, but never heard of World Hub before now.
It's been in their progress updates for quite a while. Nearly a year if not more.
I wish they can fix things that are already out there. Like when I go to DFW and you come off with the runway you have to go uphill to get to the parking ramps. And of course I always crash my plane when I come downhill to the runways
There's literally no problem with VR. If you're not intentionally moving the camera you're never going to experience motion sickness as the camera doesn't move by itself while you're playing.
I googled Yeoman because that is how you pronounced it. It is actually YAWMAN.
Okay, so users edit an airport and load this airport up to Asobo. Asobo has to verify and give clearance. And after clearance there is a possibility that the airport is being released during a future patch release. I thought: users edit an airport, load these up in to the free section of the marketplace and other users can download and install the airports. There are about 30.000 airports and i guess that at least 75% has faults: wrong taxiways, floating jetways, massive bumps in taxiways, missing buildings. And no, The World Hub as explained in the video wont work
Ive spent around 600 hours building some custom airports and sceneries.Is there any information on what will happen with custom airports ?
Can this tool be used to add airports that for some reason (extremely bad resolution on bing maps as an example) are missing in the sim?
Yeah, that's exactly what that's for. You can also update layouts for existing airports.
The only thing wrong with my home airport is the building are flat instead of actual 3d buildings. It's a pain in the ass to find a somewhat replica of the building I'm looking for in the developer option.
The Yawman Arrow Is Only Sold In America And Canada And Due To Poor Sales Because It Is Left Stick Only Has Dropped To $199 American
Strange I never had any strange movement in VR so I'm not sure what that is about. Biggest problem in VR is that few SU's ago they broke the scale of the addon windows so apps like pushback tool doesn't work anymore and also navigraph has extremely small text.
So we will eventually have three freeware A320 Neos (default, FBW and Inibuild) and one payware A320 (Fenix). Lots of competition.
iirc Fenix is a CEO
this controller is cool, i'll wait for the chinese companies to make $30 clones of it
keep up your amazing work! (I love your accent btw)
I personally can care less about VR as it still sucks for my liking. For those with a 4090 do you render in 4k or 6K when everything is in Ultra settings?
I never use inibuild before, so I wonder how it is compare to the Flybywire A320 ?
its flye by pixel
I worry that you will get users that don't care and will intentionally mess things up.. Lets hope there are a way that we can undo this if it does happen.
was my first thought, too
That was what I was thinking as well. I hope there will be a way to reverse such damage if that does happen
Screw the Yawman! I urge anyone looking to get a high end controller to get the PS5 Dualsense Edge, it is pricey at £200 without a sale but it has all the basic features of a regular PS5 Dualsense controller which I personally think is the best controller available _(gyro, trackpad, inbuilt mic and speaker, extra buttons, works seamlessly with PC and PlayStation 5)_ plus all the extra features found in the Xbox Elite controller _(rear button levers, adjustable triggers, swappable stick heads,)_ plus quickswap profiles, front paddles, rear button levers *or* nodules, but most importantly and unlike any other controller out there *IT IS USER REPAIRABLE!* You can replace a lot of parts without tools, including swapping out the entire stick assemblies for as little as £20, that is going to save you a small fortune in stick-drift problems alone! The Dualsense Edge does unfortunately have a smaller battery than the already undersized one found in the normal Dualsense but that is its only failing and I think it is made up for by having vastly superior build quality compared to either of the Xbox Elite controllers.
If you are looking to go the whole hog and get a HOTAS then Thrustmaster make excellent ones at the £100-150 price range, they have everything you could want except force feedback and I have experience telling me that they offer truly exceptional flying experiences, paired with VR _(that Microsoft broke here for no good reason)_ it offers an experience like no other.
_(To be crystal clear I am not sponsored by either Sony or Thrustmaster in any way, I am simply passionate about these things.)_
I fly pretty much exclusively in VR and I've never noticed any camera headbob effect?
Have you covered the new AIG AI Traffic package? It's the best!
this kinda reminds me of what Google Earth did back in the day when you could add buildings modeled in SketchUp to the map
Again the World Hub doesn't have any modelling, you can make corrections and place assets from the Asobo library. the footprint from adding 1000's of airport updates should be minimal that way, it wouldn't be reasonable to allow you to add custom airport into the default sim. The whole purpose of this is that folks can get 1000's of airport updates each Sim patch without needing to buy a new harddisk each time.
i hope they fix the TERRIBLE performance issue that was introduced in update 14
Thank you for the heads up
Dam this sounds fantastic!
Kinda bizarre to me a company makes a controller for MSFS and the platform they put it on is the one where majority of players have flight sticks and pedals already n ain't ditching their setup for a controller. Would of been far better offering it to console players
Microsoft should pay people who modify any airports
Seems like a great idea
Man, that controller had me until I heard the price tag ... I'd sooner just get sticks :/
This sim is the gift that keeps giving
You say you're surprised that Asobo won't fix the "Golden Rule for VR" issue. As an avid VR user, I got the feeling that Asobo has abandoned VR development since SU5. Is it just me? I mean with the advent of the Xbox crowd, the VR user base became much smaller, percentage-wise. At this point in time, I won't even take it for granted that MSFS2024 still has VR support.
Too Many of Airbus, Would be nice to see some business Jets.
They should fix su14. Many of us lost fps with its roll out.
$250 for an Xbox controller that does not even connect to an Xbox is totally INSANE!!!
well i mean with the airports, MSFS could of done a lot better of a job. Look at Xplane there airports have correct taxiways as well as buildings that does not look like massive hotels
Is this a challenge to VATSIM or an alternative???
would love to be able to correct my street too 😅
The Inibuilds A320 is redundant because the FBW A32NX on PC is just that good. Will only benefit console players.
Can wait to fix their game for them.
About VR and camera movement, just want to make sure I heard you correctly. Did you say they will implement camera movement with SU15 which isn't there today when in VR mode, which can't be disabled and can cause people feeling sick?
What on earth were they thinking if that's the case? There are so many things they could improve in VR where we've seen close to zero interest from Asobo and now when they do come with an update for those of us who enjoy VR, it will be one which will make some of us sick?!
If this indeed is the case, I really don't get it 🤔
Sorry I should have been clearer. They are saying they aren't going to fix the current problem with the camera movements.
Ah, that is good news. Not they won't fix current issues but at least, they won't make things worse.
Take a dramamine before you start flying...
Spot on
The price of that gamepad controller is utterly RIDICULOUS! I wouldn't pay $50 bucks for that cheap lightweight controller.
FBW a320neo also for Xbox?
All of you out there claiming immersion for ED - Elite Dangerous - have a closer look at the third person views and bird's eye views in MSFS and push to the Fdevs to at least give players a third person view, so we can enjoy the ships and eventually the paints...
There is an outside camera view in elite dangerous. I thought everyone knew about it. I'm absolutely certain Obsidian Ant has used it in making his videos about the game.
@@NomadSoul76 yes bro' ... I'm well aware of the "free camera" and photo mode... that's for content creators not a third person view that you can use while flying while fighting pirates while mining or whatever else is we can do on our ships... have you tried to do deep core mining or fighting pirates at a fast pace and enter the "free camera" so you can see how your ship is behaving??
Check any flight sim or racing sim or trucking sim or train sim or GTA series or NFS series and see what I mean...
It's not enough that we don't have ship interiors but the cockpit view is only 180 degrees I can't even see behind the cockpit... while flying... and please don't involve the "immersion" thing because I break all my immersion entering the free camera and photo mode just to have a glance at the paint on the ship...
Check other games and see what I mean... even in ESO or Red Dead Redemption or Witcher I can see my character on the horse or any mount while fighting the bad guys, but not in ED...and it's really simple for Fdevs to make it happen...
world hub? so the SDK with a slightly improved distribution system
why does that controller look like it's out of a computer lab in the 90's reminds me of the off white our old mice used to have and built quality looks questionable
Microsoft as a whole is stopping all development of VR so its not surprising that they dont care about VR anymore, hope it is still supported somewhat on MSFS2024.
They were always more focused on the AR market anyways. If the MSFS team completely abandons supporting VR I'll be abandoning MSFS and going back to X-Plane.
kinda bummed that its yet another A320....like dont we already have plenty of them. would of been interesting if they took a stab at a different model such as the a220 or something. still interesting to see how it is compared to the FBW, fenix even the asobo one
Xbox players only have access to the default A320, this would be an upgrade for it just like how pc first got the fbw.
I believe the free it’s mostly for the Xbox flyers that’s why we get a another A320NEO
Posted 1 hour ago... Alpha signup closed 3 days ago...
perfect...
won't fix VR or can't fix VR?
They should just dump all development resources into MSFS 2024. I was really excited for MSFS 2020 when it was announced but it had far too many bugs, performance issues, lack of basic features, simulator level features/physics, etc.. I chose not to buy it. Tried it on gamepass but its always felt like its been in alpha development. MSFS 2024 is supposed to have drastically improved performance, physics, more accurate graphics/colors, etc.. Hopefully a good replay system will come along with better weather control.
MSFS2020 and 2024 will be work on the same time did Asobo tell us, this mean that updates 2024 will probably be made for 2020 to
wait, so if someone srews up an airport, youll just have to go with that?
No they said it has to be approved by Microsoft which means they're going to go with the majority of what people say about an airport I'm sure
A controller that doesnt replicate the traditional yoke or joystick of real life airplane controls has no business being so bloody expensive.
Adding airsickness to a flight sim is a bit too immersive, methinks!
Bet ya 100 bucks the Asobo devs have no idea what a TDZE is! Or MALSR or Rabbit lol
Sorry but what is World Hub in easy language. ?
CONTROLLER SHOULD BE SHAPED LIKE A U-SHAPE PLANE WHEEL
You mean a yoke? You know you can buy yokes for flight simulator, right?
Wow, this is a great idea! I fly all around the world and see many runways with maybe 1 generic building/house next to it, many don't have any buildings at all. The biggest shock recently was Vandenburg Air base, mostly empty. I realize it's a military installation but ZERO buildings, not even generic ones near the runway???
If it's like X-Plane, the you'll only be able to customise using standard assets from there library. It's still a massive improvement but something like an AFB probably isn't going to look realistic unless they've prepared assets for that type of airport.
@@dtrjonesmsfs 100% wont do mil objects for some random AFB like P3D does
Flying with your flaps down, btw...
That additional A320neo just sounds like another useless bloat in the download to remove later in the manager just like their A310. Have no confidence nor interest in anything from IniBuilds after the A310.
Please can you put timestamps on your videos!
Thanks for the informative video, but is it really necessary to have background music. It’s becoming a bit of a very annoying trend, to me at least!
What's the.point of all these features being added if there is a new flight sim on its way? Can someone explain
One, the newer version isn't here yet and is still over half a year away (at a guess). Two, I suspect these features willl also appear in that newer version from launch, so it's something easy to crossover between the two. Three, if nothing else it holds true to their promise to keep updating 2020 and not abandon it (at least it does for now).
There's not a new sim on the way. It's just a Careers Update that will give you a new main menu theme that they are calling a new sim and trying to charge you full price for.
Is world hub going to be protected against trolls?
This cover Africa ?
