Any word on when the Bonanza will release on Xbox Marketplace?
-
@Data The most recent update I received was that we are still tracking this down with Microsoft/Asobo. Sorry that I don't reply with great detail about these delays. This is something I entrust to Just Flight while I develop the aircraft, so I don't want to pass along any hearsay or misunderstandings.
We can confirm that the Baron and Bonanza are still 'being processed' and as soon as we have any more news we will advise. NB that we have once again escalated the issue of glacial turnaround times and we are currently at the "Old Man Shouting At Clouds" section of the escalation process.

@Derek Is it possible to explain so at least I understand? Does it mean we see the Baron and Bonanzo before Christmas this year?
I'm afraid it is a process over which we have little control. We've explained how it works a few times but put as simply as I can:
Just Flight release title on PC via its own website
Just Flight release title to partner sites such as Simmarket and Aerosoft.
Developer may release small update shortly after release.
Just Flight releases update to web customers on its own site and those of partners.
Just Flight sends updated title to Microsoft
Microsoft works on title and sends PC version for approval.
Once approved, title will release on PC Marketplace, usually/hopefully in the next release window.
Meanwhile, Microsoft supplies test build of console version.
Assuming that is approved, it also joins the queue for release.Hope that is clear although, of course, it offers no answer to the question of when a particular title will come out on Marketplace. I should add that the process is pretty similar for the release of updates to existing titles.

@Derek It's honestly pathetic how (I won't name names) certain people at Asobo can look us in the eye and tell us "it's up to the developer" when it comes to hold-ups, releases and updates getting out.
It's even more so when you provide screenshots from this very thread on the MSFS forums about this issue, they get deleted and you get banned with a "that's not happening" despite multitudes of other developers having the same issue.

@Derek It is sad that even you as developpers can not even answer a simple question as when will we customers be able to buy these (I am sure) magnificient aircafts.

Fingers crossed it comes out today for Xbox I’m tired of waiting

@smokey01170 Now wouldn’t that be nice

@smokey01170 Sadly, once again, it doesn't seem like it'll be this week either.
-
I’m betting It drops today for Xbox
-
@Rich Second release window this week is also fine
-
I’m feeling today
-
Still nothing on either Sim.
It's also the start of the Holiday Sale, so I wouldn't be surprised if they held it off again.
-
Well there goes my chistmas plans. Thanks Microsoft.
-
Honestly, I'm not expecting it until next year.....if we're getting it at all.
PMDG confirmed Xbox (or PC Marketplace) won't get the 2024 737 until after Christmas.
But, I believe even that won't happen as everyone will be going on holiday shortly.
Thus, this blame game that Asobo/Microsoft is pulling, I don't see the Pro Series hitting Xbox until February at the earliest.

@jmarkows LOL. That's true. Gotta make sure us Xbox "suckers" are conned into paying for their $30 coffee.
-
That's actually one of the few reasonable things they do, wait for it to stabilize because since getting it into the MP in the first place is a pain (as we all know here), so then is patching it.
But yes, strangely, mentioning the few cups of coffee will get your topic closed now.
But there are other places for that soapbox
