The time is upon us people  :yahoo:

nice!  thanks for the HU :Peace:

 

here's the press release by Dev:

 

The Saab 340A will be a study level sim. You can read the AOM from the real aircraft and step into this product and know just what to do; just what to see! We realize some folks are not interested in overly complex simulations, and trust me, we've worked hard to consider you as well. We'll announce more about that shortly! I realize some of you just like to "get in and go," and that's just fine! That said, this product will REALLY cater even more-so to the folks that love a true-to-life simulation experience. Our real world Saab 340 beta test team has been not only a tremendous help, but also good affirmation that we've been doing this right for the last three years; that we have something really special on our hands!

So, what will these upcoming days hold? Well, here's what I can tell you:

1. We are currently wrapping up documentation and working on some last minute systems logic/animations (smaller stuff).

2. Our beta team has been provided their fourth release today, which incorporated a ton of bug fixes (thanks team!) and additions. While the team is busy putting the changes and additions through their paces, we are implementing any fixes or concerns that come up almost right away.

3. A lot of you have asked for a video. Truth be told, our plate has been really, really full with work here. Some of us have pulled up to 30 hour work days without sleep. That said, we will not let you down and more on that will be released in time.

4. We are busy testing new download servers just deployed in preparation for release day.

5. Everyone constantly asks about a release date. We actually have a hard date set for this launch already. We will not be releasing this info right now. Last minute things can change, but I thought giving you a time range (I did say a week ) would be more than satisfactory. The ONLY way something will change at this point is if something really, really "bad" happens to the extent we cannot release the product. The chances of this occurring are very slim.


What can you do?...

We've worked tirelessly on this add-on for all these years. We're confident in what a success it will be (just hearing the initial reactions from those involved in the beta make us smile), but you can never have too much publicity. You guys are sometimes our best marketers by spreading the word and sharing your excitement, so please, from today on, if you see something you like with screenshots, announcements, or any other info that will come out this week, share it! If you participate in other forums, that's a great starting point as well. Your excitement fuels OUR motivation!

Lastly, thanks to everyone who has followed us on this multi year journey. Our job is almost done, but yours has just begun! Get those checklists out!

Enjoy what's to come this week...It's going to be busy with information!
 

Sweet, can't wait!!

Great news! I like a lot this new mood of "release week" for some add ons.

I'm definitely getting this baby, this looks like a major quality release from LES.

Looks like the PMDG of X-Plane ( LES ) is releasing their new beauty the same week the PMDG of FSX does it with their 777 ;-)

 

I was really looking forward for this.

didnt know there were 30 hours in a day

There isn't. You obviously aren't interpreting it right.

Great News!!! This will be a "MUST HAVE" for me............No matter what my Wife says :Big Grin:

didnt know there were 30 hours in a day

'30 hour work days' as in 1 x 30 hours continuous working unit. My work day is usually 10 hours which has no relation to the number of hours in a calendar day, the remaining time being spent simming and writing pedantic posts on minor interest hobby forums.

 

BTW I'm also very excited about this release. Any word on pricing yet?

this will be an expensive 2 weeks.

I was glad to see the T7 released by PMDG, but because of the type of flying I simulate, this has to be the best news for me today. I can't wait to take an Aloha Air Cargo variant around the islands.

Yep I'll definitely get the Saab before the PMDG T7, in fact I'm not sure I'll bother with the latter as I already have the FF T7 which is very very good!
