Aeroflux Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hello John, I am following with great interest your new add-on. Sadly the release date seems to be put back at the shop about one week at the time. Will you release this month as originally advertised!

John Venema Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 March 5th is the release date, and we apologise for the small delay, we really, really tried hard to honour our commitment to a February release, but such is the nature of a large project like FTX.

No need to apologise...a slippage like that is small potatoes compared to other developers. Delighted to know the date, thanks for the info. Cant wait to get up there into those virtual skies to see the FTX world.... ravey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosestping Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Who's going to put money down for a 5/3 release? Not me, I'm betting on a ~14/3 release (c'mon prove me wrong guys!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, put your money where your mouth is... I happy to put a bit of a side bet on here, and i'm not even a member of the dev or beta team How much you wanna bet?

Auzy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Great to see finally a release date john, never been happier that I am taking next week off from flying lessons. And gotta say, I feel sorry for all of you with jobs (Except John and Co, they have the ultimate one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I hope the date is after well after 5/3 release so that the dev team can finish the south coast(The Great Australian Bight). JohnG.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on! $1,000 on the table. Wanna match the colour of my money? Lol, divide it by 100 and you're more in my betting territory Though I'd be more than happy to accept your $1000 if 5/3 slips by without a release, I'd much rather you kept your money John. To show my faith, I'll put my money where my mouth is by clicking the "buy Now" link on 5/3 (sheesh, I would have done that anyway no matter what the release date is/was or will be)! Good luck on the hopefully not too hectic last few days before release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG.... Nope, not going to happen John - the Bight will make it into the SP1 patch in late March. Some things we had to sacrifice to get this product out, else we'd be here all year making it "perfect". Yes, it's a big ommission from the coastline, but I would wager that only 10% or less of simmer would take that long coastal flight. Maybe I'm wrong, but regardless, it will be in the SP1 soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 So mate, do you have a preferred timeframe when we can circumnavigate the whole coastline of Oz using FTX? Just a rough one like Q1 2009 or something like that... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
