Just checked and the release date has now been moved to the 10th Dec. This package might be out before FS10 at this rate, if there is a miracle!

Yeah, no kidding.  I finally found a package that I have absolutely no reservations about paying as much as I did for the sim, and I'll be old and blind before it gets out...    Roll Eyes

Mmm, Dabs are still saying 3rd Dec, Amazon 17 Sept(?!). Just Flights own site is non-commital. I have to say Just Flight are getting quite frustrating with this and the Herc package - both were originally due last month - they could end up losing some credibility...

I'd much prefer them to release it then patch it if necessary...

To be quite honest ......... if the Spit package isn't released in perfect condition I think you lot would rip it to shreads. I think the developers and Just Flight are doing a sensible thing by holding it back untill its perfect.
If it doesn't come up to spec afer all the delays ....... then I'll be joining in with the ridicule.

With the amount of slippage on the release date I hope it is up to scratch! Grin It's just not fair to keep Ozzy waiting all this time if you see my point, and in the past I've thought they've been pretty good at meeting their published release dates...

As anxious as I am, Eno is quite correct on this one.  If the y were to release it prematurely, people would be all over it, and their rep would suffer.  Anyone here remember was back to the days of the original Fly! flight sim?  It was so buggy and full of holes that they  eventually put so many patches out they had to release it as another title, Fly2K!  It hurt them bad.  Same thing with FS2000.  Remember what a mess THAT was?  Ugh...  No, I'd rather wait a few more days and get it right the first time.  Wink

Just a little something to tease you with until I can get some real screenies later...  Grin

...

Two things no screenie will prepare you for with this bird; the SOUND and the animated pilot!  They are both beyond belief...  Grin

Look in the Payware Screenies section and you can see the pilot looking roughly in the direction the shot was taken - very nice indeed. The sounds are great...

Ok, Just Flight seem to say 12 December 2004 on their forums - although you still can't pre-order on their website...

Spoke to Just Flight earlier, and they say the release is tentatively set for 7th Jan 05.
