    Hi,

    I'm looking forward to the Dukes release and I'm sure I read the aim for release is the first two weeks of April, however, I'm not able to find the comment again. Is this correct?

    And also, thank you for the preview videos.

    Paul

          Can we consider today as later this week? :)
          JK, looking very much forward to the Dukes!

                    It will really depend on what effect SU15 has on the software and until it releases we have no real sense of that - hence the need to delay it until after SU15 releases.

                      While they are still two weeks away, are you planning to make additional videos or giving preview version to popular youtubers? Would like to see something about the flight model.
                      Are you releasing them at the 30. along with SU 15?

                        I need at least a day or two to test with SU15, but we are planning to release very shortly thereafter. Asobo often sneaks in last-minute changes with the public version of the sim update that didn't appear in the beta builds, so I always have to be careful.

                        Unfortunately, we were supposed to go right from the YouTube videos to the YouTube/Twitch previewers without this big gap, but the SU15 delay put a stop to that. We are planning on getting the preview build to some reviewers before SU15 in about a week. I would love to demonstrate the aerodynamics, but my beta testers and I were unable to come up with a compelling way of showing off something so subjective on video. I could simply demonstrate the aircraft performing within 2% of the POH values in various maneuvers, but that doesn't make for a very exciting video. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks for asking!

                          Yep, sounds legit... It's hard to demonstrate that in a video.
                          Doesn't matter anyway, because none of your other planes ever disappointed me and you can "shut up and take my money". 😄😍

                            Actually, that sounds pretty interesting! Or maybe you have someone who've been flying it in real life? Asobo made some interesting videos like this while discussing their new CFD-system a year or so ago.

                              Finally Asobo gets his... moving. Lets hope for not another delay by them. Looking forward to this awesome module!

                                Ugh. Another delay for SU15 … now it’s slated for sometime in the second week of May. Which means more delay for the Dukes, too, I assume. Maybe I’d better just put the yoke back on the bookshelf for now.

                                    We'll be checking what this means to the release date and we'll reply back here when we have a better idea. We'll do what we can to ensure the Duke delay isn't too lengthy.

                                      That would be great. I wouldn’t mind if something is not working 100% until SU15, but I can’t wait to get my hands on that baby.

                                        Even before the latest disappointing news I did wonder whether, if the initial delay was solely due to the ground physics, we could have an initial release with stock and then get the enhanced behaviours in the (likely to be one anyway) patch later.

                                        I suspect it's not that easy (never is) but I can dream :-)

                                          A pre-release that requires SU15 beta could be interesting... ?
