Objective
Why reviews matter
the whole reset/re-init work seems to be largely based on FlightGear reviews stating how the sim is unable to save/load/resume flights and change aircraft without restarting the whole simulator: FlightGear Sessions#Problem
Those reviews mentioned there predate the reset/re-init effort by several years, and while the original reviews may not be very objective, they did have /some/ merits - and it seems that some core developers do care about such reviews and are sufficiently motivated by reviews highlighting certain issues - for instance, Stuart used to be an avid participant in "usability" discussions, including reviews of FlightGear highlighting the lack of usability - equally, the Qt5 effort could be said to be aimed at making FG more accessbile. And the FlightGear multicore debate is seeing some attention via HLA - so people certainly care, it's just the timeframe that makes things appear very unresponsive |
Intro
Motivation
Things to cover
- FlightGear version to be reviewed, download location
- background of the reviewer (e.g. previous flight simulation experience)
- expectations of the reviewer
- operating system, hardware (graphics card, ram, cpu)
- settings used
- aircraft/airports tested
- summary (pros & cons, suggestions for improvement)
