Latest from A2A cool.gif

The P-40 will be handled the same as the Spitfire and P-47. Existing FSX P-40 owners will get a special discounted price on the WoP3 P-40. Not sure exactly what that discount will be, but we're getting close to release.

Tomorrow (Thurs) we expect to have a release candidate in beta. This needs a min 48 hours in their hands before release.

Scott.

Just a little update:

We have been really working hard on the feel of flight and engine physics for this release. This plane has much of the same feedback from our J3 Cub - you can really feel it flying through the air. Also, considering this plane has no safeties, you can push it really hard at lower altitudes. We are seeing as much as 70" manifold pressure (over 1,700hp) internally at full throttle (the gauge only shows up to 50"). So the engine and airframe really have to speak to you more.

We also were finally able to use all those sound sources from our P-40 research trip a few years back for the Accu-Sim version.

We just submitted a release candidate to testers, so we need to let the team chew on this for a while. I just want to point out, in the event some don't realize, we always do extensive testing and our goal is to always release a product that is hassle-free and 100% complete on day one. So I apologize for not reaching our goal to have it done this week. We're looking now to next week. I do know it will be well worth the wait.

Scott.

thumbup1.gif Thats the mark of a quality developer , being 100% happy before release. Unlike some who release a product in pieces...aircraft followed a month or two later by the panel if your lucky, and sometimes it never arrives.

Im looking forward to this one, and i figure the longer i wait, the better it will be......
