747 Classic Progress
-
Agreed, I just hope they release it next month been waiting for a classic 747 for years!
-
Regarding a release date, it's not something we're able to offer much of a guarantee on currently. I'd love to advise that it will be ready and released next month but that's not the case currently. I don't want to raise hopes only for them to be dashed further down the line.
This one is being developed away from the internal team so we have less control than normal over things, which is proving frustrating for us as it is for you all. Where work that we control gets completed we can show that off but the crux of the heavy coding work isn't done internally and we're in the hands of others to an extent other than looking to manage the process as best we can.
We'll strive to get things done, tested and ready for release as soon as possible but it hasn't been a swift job up to now so no real evidence that that pattern will change anytime soon.
On the plus side when the work gets done it's looking neat it's just proving quite a long journey.
Thanks to you all for your patience.

@Voice-of-Reason I had my fingers crossed for this years cross the pond, but...there's always next year! Looking forward either way.

Away from the internal team? I remembered it was developed by JF's in-house team. -

-
Is it going to be ready by the end of the year?
-
@Captain-Bakon No it won't be I'm afraid. Thanks for your interest and apologies for the delay in bringing this one out.
-
Is the A300 in the same state or can we see this one overtake the 747.
-
@Oskar3058 Could well overtake the 747 in all honesty, we shall see and bring news as and when we can.
-
I was afraid of that. I kind of wish I had no idea that this was coming since the wait is getting old. I get that things take time but this is a needed addon for the classic simmers such as myself.
-
I hope with the time that this is taking, problems are being fixed like the lack of the wing kink, models with the left upper exit deleted, cargo door angles fixed, and other general bugs. As long as bugs are getting fixed, by all means take as much time as is needed.
-
Is it going to be out in December?
-
@Captain-Bakon
Forget it,bro. It's unlikely to come out this year. -
@Captain-Bakon Definitely won't be out this year I'm afraid. We're tackling various issues related to the development of this one, issues that won't occur with any of out in-house projects, not that's any consolation we know but them's the facts right now. All I can say is we'll bring you more news just as soon as we're able to. Apologies for the continued delay with this.

As much as i'm looking forward to this release,this bothers me.It seems you are tackling issues with the external dev team doing this project.If you are allready having issues with them today,i'm having second thoughts about how this product will be supported in the future/after release.
I can see issues arising with futur patches/bug fixes.
I hope you,JF, can fix these issues and get this bird out to us cargo haulers ;).Brgds,

@Voice-of-Reason Release more pics or vids please, I've been waiting for a long time.
-
@centurion88 If we did that people would complain that nothing has changed. Truth is very little has in terms of visuals so it's rather pointless showing the same content. The coding side of things is delayed currently but we hope to get back on track just as soon as we can. Apologies and thanks for your continued interest.
-
Its been almost a month with no update. Was just wondering if development was continuing or if things were on hold because of COVID. I don't mean to be a pain in the rear but even a weekly comment saying "progress is slow but still moving foreward" would be awesome if able.
-
@CptKiddAPI Progress is still delayed. We're attempting to get things moving again, hope to have news soon for you. Sorry for the lack of comms, there's very little we can say and report on currently.
-
Thank you for the response. I am happy with an update of nothing has changed to be honest.
