Update
-
@max Very soon. It's in test at the moment so hopefully later this or early next week and it should be released.

@voice-of-reason Not to be a whiny person, but uh, it's "early next week" now. Any more info to share? delay? release date? lotto numbers? pretty please with a cherry on top. :smiling_face_with_halo:

Yes sorry it didn't make it out for early this week. As is always the way it seems some extra things cropped up during the testing phase which needed attention. the message now is that we hope it'll be by the end of the week. It's a big old update so there's much to test, tweak, test again etc. very tricky to put accurate timescales on this kind of thing, but we are trying our best. Rest assured, it'll be worth it when you get your hands on it though. Thanks for your patience.

@voice-of-reason Ahh, tragedy. Hopefully it makes it by the end of the week, super keen for it!

I vote for being patient.
This aircraft is complex enough without having bugs that will confuse my ageing brain !
Take your time.
(And I'm sure I don't need to say... don't forget a manual appendix covering the UNS. It's been a while !)

@voice-of-reason Really hope to be able to fly it after getting back from my vacation on the next week! Should the update land before that? Amazing airplane and hopefully soon it'll be better even better!

A new week of hoping for any news on this.
Take your time to get it right and enjoyable, but any news such as a short "Turns out we need to further tweak the XYZ for more realistic performance" would be appreciated.
@avionic Yes it was exactly that. Turns out more time was needed to get through the testing phase. Few small things turned up, are being fixed right now and require final testing. So very close to being there, just bear with us a few more days.
Thanks for your interest.

@voice-of-reason thanks for the update on release schedule. We now have not 1, but 2 "current" versions of EGLC available - so I for one, am very excited for this update. All the best to the team!

@knidarkness and others..
It will be dropping before the little fokker, rest assured. This update is undergoing final testing right now but installers need to be built and then a sanity check completed before it's set live. That means it won't be today or over the weekend but it will be on Monday. We're 99.999999% positive on that now.
What won't be included is the new FMS. That will follow though as it's close to being finalised and tested etc.
So sorry it's crept into next week but the good news is it's very very imminent.
Thanks for your interest and patience and have a great weekend.

@voice-of-reason thanks for the good news! Looking forward to flying your birds!

@voice-of-reason well a bit disappointing about no new fmc for this update but i want to ask the new fmc will release before RJ?

@m0n3t2 Yes definitely and it should be next week and might even make the main update, we'll take stock on Monday and decide what to do. Bear with is but worst case it'll be a couple of days after the first update. Thanks for the interest.

@voice-of-reason While I'm happy the update is closer and most likely for Monday the lack of FMS is immensely disappointing. This update, as far as many are concerned, is for the FMS. I personally know two people who won't even get the plane until it has the UNS-1.
What exactly is holding it back? I really hope it doesn't get pushed back into multiple weeks or months.
Sorry if this sounds rude, but its super frustrating.

@melon I'm also kinda disappointed. But also very glad that JF has a quality assurance process that prevents half finished things getting into our hands. I run software development teams IRL, and take it from me, it's so hard to give accurate release estimates (which is likely why many other FS Devs don't!). So, whilst I share your disappointment, I'm also happy that when we do get it, it'll be worth the wait :-)

@voice-of-reason So about that "worst case it'll be a few days" thing...
Another thing I either missed or isn't included in the article (and presumably the update), that was in the previous article.
Did these not make the update either? So instead we get... failures and random cargo? I'm sorry, but I don't know a single person who use random system failures (certainly not more than once), other then like wear and tear. The two things people I know were excited about for this update were the FMS and the calculators... again I am sorry if this sounds rude but I really want to question your allocation of resources on why man hours were wasted on a system very few people will actually use.@FailCold Considering the UNS-1 was supposed to be out last year based on previous posts back after the 146 initially came out... and just now one of my friends have said in Discord they're going to pass on the 146 because of the lack of UNS-1 in this update (which I had all but sold them on getting because of this update supposedly including the UNS-1), and wait for the RJ instead.

I have to say that I am having a hard time believing the UNS coming in a couple of days. I'll be happy to be proven wrong and will be very happy if it makes it with in a couple of weeks even. We have seen some screenshots and dev updates, initially as far as i can remember, it was supposed to be out in January, but then deleays happened. And now we are in May. I understand a lot have changed in MSFS since then particularly the Xbox wasm thing. So it might take time to finalize things. But if the UNS is so close to being done, and since they have delayed this release this long anyway, i think it wouldnt have hurt much to delay it a couple of weeks more to get the full thing out at once. Although there is a chance that they are staggering the release to avoid having new bugs at a lot of different areas at once. In that case, they might see how this update goes from a quality standpoint and then release the UNS. But I'll believe it when I see it.
Don't get me wrong, this is still a great plane to fly, the update is very well appreciated and I for one like the random failure systems. But if the UNS and perf calculation was included, it would have been a complete package, may be not in the league of Fenix or Maddog, but still a complete package interns of what was promised before release.
