April 1, 201313 yr Posted Today, 12:36 AM Hi, Folks,It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I announce we have folded up the Saab 340A project. There have been many uphill battles in development with this project, especially in the programming side. While we did get 90% of the way there in our development, that last 10% often times amounts to the biggest hurdles in these kind of products.Leading Edge Simulations' team will be taking a small break away from any kind of development over the next couple weeks. We believe there is a larger market for slightly more simplistic simulations that take less programming and better 3D/eye candy. As such, we will soon announce the next two projects that have already been underway once the guys at Leading Edge Simulations get back from their break.We thank everyone who has been patient throughout the development process of the Saab, and for sticking around for news as long as you have. Your words of encouragement are not missed! :unsure: :( it could be an April Fool's joke......no confirmation yet from Cameron at Xaviation!
April 1, 201313 yr So, They're about to release this? It would be nice to get this on April fools day!

April 2, 201313 yr So sad, I was really waiting for this, anyway the developers have their reasons. I wouldn't mind if the developers decide to release the SAAB as lite systems product, I would buy it. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Alexander Colka
April 3, 201313 yr Very sad news indeed. I thought for sure this was a joke. Too bad, but the part that bothers me most is about concentrating on Simpler systems modeling and more eye candy. Ive had my fill of pretty planes with not much systems detail. I'm becoming a lot more picky about my purchases now. Although I still occasionally buy a plane just for looks, Im finding myself drifting away from that kind of stuff as I get bored with them fast. Thank God I still have DCS World! Now the only thing Im looking forward to for XP is the 737-300 and the Dreamfoil Eurocopter Rob

April 3, 201313 yr I actually registered on X-Pilot yesterday just to make sure that it was a joke.... leave us a couple of more hints next time! Daniel Miller
April 3, 201313 yr ah, Goran. Stop Cameron from making second posts like that one in 2014 * 2010 MacPro, 27' display * Snow Leopard * XP10 *
