June 15, 201213 yr Not sure where you seen it, but they never annouced a release for alaska. Key words were "on the horizon" For myself that means very shortly, no date yet.
June 16, 201213 yr I see no mention of Alaska being released. "With the release of the Alaska Wilderness Expansion DLC on the horizon,"... That's about the size of it...
June 16, 201213 yr The release date of Alaska has in fact not been announced yet, but it is close... If I can guess, it is either this weekend or this Wednesday. And IF a plane comes after Alaska on the same month, the Wednesday after the release of Alaska. Alex Leung Aerospace Engineering Undergraduate Glider & Private Pilot via Royal Canadian Air Cadets
June 16, 201213 yr I moved a few (relevant) posts to this topic: http://forum.avsim.n...date-to-flight/ Please continue the discussion over there! Unless you only want to discuss that they did not announce Alaska.
June 16, 201213 yr Commercial Member "With the release of the Alaska Wilderness Expansion DLC on the horizon,"... That's about the size of it... Yeah, I only mentioned it because the person who started the topic named it in a way thay says that MS announced the release. Brandon Filer
