It's funny because Carenado will get criticized if they release an aircraft too fast (they're just pumping them out to make money) or if they take a while to make one....

 

People aren't angry that they might take a little bit longer to release.  People are more than willing to wait for high quality releases from other developers.  They're angry because DESPITE them taking a bit longer to release they still have dozens of bugs and they end up releasing an unfinished product anyways.

+1

 

Let's hope they are changing the way they have done business for the last couple of years and the Hawker is a killer addon.

The fact is that nobody but Carenado knows.  We are assuming its to take more time to fix "dozens of bugs", but we really don't know.  If its to build "hype" and anticipation, it's getting a little old.  Do they really think they can expand their audience of buyers with this approach?  I just don't get it.

Yup, exactly that. It's one thing when they release something like the PC-12 after 2-3 months with a rather embarrassing list of bugs/inaccuracies. It'll be a whole entirely different level if they take something like 10-11 months to develop a high-tier business jet while throwing around buzzwords like Navigraph and fully-simulated Proline avionics and STILL have the same (if not more) amount of bugs.

Wendall, I would agree to your comment.  But it doesn't explain the "hype."

 

If they are working on getting out all the bugs, then it would be best IMHO not to advertise until you are close to releasing the product.

 

I've seen enough pretty screenshots.

Carenado just changed their FB photo to the Hawker. It's got to be close.

Gonna say within the next 36 hours. Never know with Carenado, but it'll be soon. Looking forward to the early reviews!!

Will wait on the first guinea p....I mean first buyers to give some reviews on the systems.

I plan on being a Guinea P.....pilot. One last chance Carenado.

I use the Proline 21 with the FMS-3000. Great piece of equipment. If they model it correctly and it works like it should I am game. And the real unit can go direct-to.

Don't expect an uber realistic rendition.  It will be half assed like usual but it will hopefully mostly work.

Pretty sad if it truly took a year to produce a half-assed product. Of course, it apparently takes 2-3 months to create quarter-assed stuff. ;b

Carenado has a golden opportunity with the Hawker to silence their critics.  I hope they use it.

I think we would all celebrate that.

I would be ecstatic if they do. I just got back into flight sim recently, after nearly a 10 year break, and due to the influence of coworkers I thought Carenado was the cream of the crop. And boy do they make some pretty airplanes. I think most of their products work well for their "target audience". All my coworkers that sim, and rave about Carenado, are all RL pilots to some degree. And they don't see the same issues that we do here. I guess its all perspective.

 

Do I think Carenado will ever make PMDG level study sims? Nope. I would love that though. There just isn't anyone doing high level simulations of business jets, and at least we have Carenado trying to fill the void to some degree. Please Carenado, do this one right and take hold of that niche in the market.
