Air Hauler 2 X-Plane
-
Hi,
I would just like to know if you are still developing Air Hauler 2 for X-Plane?
If so do you have any ETA on release? -
@ChickenDipper Yep, most definitely still happening, progressing nicely and should be ready for release within the next month or so.
-
Thanks for the reply, could you tell me one other thing about AH2, is there a benefit or more reason for flying a job yourself instead of using AI?
-
@Voice-of-Reason Also is there anywhere we can track the progress more closely at all?
If you requiring any form of testing, I would be more than happy to help. -
Guess not?
-
Today 17 days ago a new beta was sent to the beta testers..,
Probably there were still some things to improve... -
@ChickenDipper I have asked the dev about this. Will reply when I get an answer.
-
@ChickenDipper No place to really track progress and we're fully subscribed for testers now and also pretty close to completion of project so not real need for additional testing/feedback right now. Thanks for the offer though.
-
@Voice-of-Reason ok thanks.
I will wait patiently :)
But do you know if there is a bonus or incentive to fly in sim rather than using AI pilots? -
Direct from the developer...
You get more reputation (AI pilots only get 0.1%), but you can use an AI pilot if you want. Missions can't be flown by AI pilots. (But you can load cargo onto an aircraft and get them to position it, depending what type of mission it is).
Hope that helps.
-
@Voice-of-Reason Exactly what I wanted to know, thanks for that - looking forward to release :)
-
@Voice-of-Reason do you happen to know if with airhauler 2 for xplane it will share the same world as people using other sims with the original airhauler 2?
Also do the devs plan to support Fs2020 if it allows for plugins? -
@ChickenDipper No decision on FS2020 just yet but it's certainly up for consideration.
On your other point, users will all show on the radar map regardless of sim version. However "sharing the same world" - that's irrelevant as the "world" is stored on the users PC - it's not like FSEconomy - it's an offline, single player game really. The VA functionality allows people to collaborate, again, regardless of sim I, but there's no "shared world" as it's not an online game.
Hope that helps answer that one.
-
@Voice-of-Reason thanks for the detail, so if it is not a shared world how are other players able to buy fuel from an fbo that you own?
Also how would pilots in a virtual airline collaborate if it is single player really?
Sorry for all the questions. -
Great to hear that Airhauler 2 is almost here for xp11, cant wait to use it. waiting for years.

@witte76 Thanks for your patience. We're mightily happy that it's going to be out on XP platform soon too.
