April 15, 201313 yr With a better discount I guess I'd risk it and bite.If the discount will stay at 15% I'll just smile and walk away.
April 15, 201313 yr Yes. Just to verify ... product is or will be available for, FS9, FSX, P3D ... all three (long shot)? Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
April 15, 201313 yr I like the beta testing option, you still end up with an aircraft to fly and still benefit from the final release. If I knew the final product was only a week or two away prepay may be fine but if it turns out to be longer I would rather hold on to my money.
April 15, 201313 yr Author Commercial Member Alright... here's the deal: 1) the FMS, though functional, is not yet tied in to the main flight systems... I.e. you cannot "fly" the FMS. But it does "work". 2) Some people have experienced startup issues in the cold/dark full "real" start up. This doesn't mean that you can't EVER start it up but you will not necessarily be able to do so "by the book". 3) the liveries are not yet completed and neither is the PK. 4) the manual is not yet completed though we can and will supply the manuals from which the plane is built as well as a QS guide 5) we have never EVER not delivered a project and do not intend to start now. (as previously stated, it would kill the rep and therefore, the company) 6) there are some minor bugs in the systems but they are, for the most part, low end. (the bugs, not the systems) 7) nightlighting is still a work in progress though it does work, it's imperfect. 8) We THINK we are less than a month from release but... things happen. So you never know. 9) actual sounds are not yet implemented 10) the AP is a work in progress This all said, we're going to do one of two things... 1) release a Beta 3 version (we are at beta 2) to the first 100 people who take it. For these, there will be a 15% price reduction. (off of 49.95$ USD). You will not be expected to "test" the plane but, if you do, that's awesome! or 2) do a pre-order of 200 with a 25% off deal but no product. It needs to be clear, we will NOT add, remove, or redo anything that isn't an actual bug just because you "bought" in on the dev version of this... Anyone who does that will have their money refunded immediately. Now, as to the differences between ours and anyone else's... I can't speak to that as I don't own any of them. Ours is very nice looking, doesn't and will not, have a cabin in the VC (though you can go there from the external view) and nearly every switch, knob and lever does what it's supposed to do. There are some that will never work so... Now, there one important money thing.... Usually we allow a 30 day money back on our products. On this one, that will not happen UNTIL release. To be clear, you will have 30 days AFTER release of the product to get your money back. Prior to that, no such luck. And finally, the plane is totally flyable, very nice and not too bad on frames... There are some people, 1 or 2, who have had issues with FPS. We are looking into this. Please contact oisin at milviz dot com for forum registration information.

April 15, 201313 yr When will we know when you release Beta 3 for the first 100? JeffG Jeffrey Gerbert
April 15, 201313 yr Author Commercial Member I will make the decision within the next 36 hours or so. Please contact oisin at milviz dot com for forum registration information. Please provide proof of purchase if you want support. Also, include the username you wish to have.
April 15, 201313 yr Mi first thought was YES but first I would like to know wich is the stage of the proyect. Is in the last part with minor bugs we would be able to notify or like cs an unflyable plane?
April 15, 201313 yr Author Commercial Member I can't (and won't) compare to any other dev. However, the plane is in beta 3. Which means, though there are several remaining bugs, most of have been killed and or are being worked on. The plane is totally flyable especially if you do VOR... (using the FMS is, again, not happening YET). Please contact oisin at milviz dot com for forum registration information. Please provide proof of purchase if you want support.

April 16, 201313 yr So, what I would like here is... a yes or no. Yes means... DOOOOO EEEET Count me in. "DOOOOO EEEET". Alex Cadle
April 16, 201313 yr Commercial Member How would you guys feel about me doing a stream tomorrow evening, showing you guys exactly where we are with Beta 2?
