Release date
-
Hello All,
I wish I had stayed up to date responding to all your messages, because there are too many to address all of them at once now! Thank you all for your input and humor regarding this unfortunate situation.
Earlier today, I believe I arrived at a solution that should allow newcomers to steer clear of the WT GNS issue, but allow those already familiar with the issue to enjoy the aircraft on SU14 or SU15 Beta with all the GPS options.
As some of you mentioned above, 90% of the issue here was a bug introduced into the WT GNS 530/430 in SU14 that affected all other GPS units and autopilots in my aircraft. The other 10% was the new SU15 ground handling physics. The aircraft should be perfectly enjoyable on SU14, but lack some of the improved physics. On SU15, I have seen strange weathervaning when parked in high winds (>30kts), which I had hoped would be resolved by now.
Thank you all for your patience. It's been a delight to see so many people excited for the aircraft after watching the pre-release coverage this week. There will be more coverage this week, and hopefully an official message from Just Flight and myself regarding how we decide to handle a pre-SU15 release.
Blue Skies, Everyone!
Nick C.@Black-Square Thank you for bringing us the only positive news in this mess asobo has created! For me the only reason why I was interested in the SU15 release was because it holds the Dukes back. Now we have a (strobe) light on the horizon :)

Nick C.@Black-Square Thank you for a response, looking forward to flying the Duke

Thanks.
If the problem is only related to xbox - do you recommend u15 beta?
Be realistic - u15 can be months away. Asobo wants to make money. M$F$2024 is where the money is, not u15.
Late 2023 a qualified guess plans for 2024:
May 1 - u15, finished all manpower goes M$F$2024.- Today, there is no reason for that all manpower goes to M$F$ 2024.
U15 will be worked on by volunteer overtime in weekends
- Today, there is no reason for that all manpower goes to M$F$ 2024.

@Black-Square I find releasing it for SU14 is a sound decision.
We all know SU14 ground physics, cause these are what we have to live with right now for all aircraft.
If You found a way to fix the WT issue(s), then it´s great news.Remembering the RealAir Dukes for P3D (or was it FSX ?) I really look forward to Your version for MSFS, having all the other Black-Square aircraft.

This is great news... looking forward to it

And then just when I found out it was released...
This site is currently undergoing routine server maintenance and will be back up shortly.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused........ -
@Derek
I watched "twotonedmurphy" video "BlackSquare Duke | Preview Flight ☘️🛩️| Flight Sim Sunday" and made the comment "A2A started this...And "BlackSquare" walks in and say's..."hold my beer"...I can't wait for this to release. My guess is you won't be able to get near it on the release day...Servers will crash and tears will flow.."
It's all good...when everything settles down I'll get it... -

@Piper201 You're good to go and get it if that's your wish now.
All released and available from the website.
Enjoy!
@Voice-of-Reason Coming into KNYL right. Took a short one just to see what it looks like...
I'm in love!
BTW picked them both up...
