[Ebs 114]

Not long now! (...so I've heard )

 

Dave, you're gonna love SOP3 mate! 

[Andayle 47]

Yes...but how much longer do we have to wait?

 

Until the release date.

That's what I have heard too. But what does "Not long now" mean. This week, next week, one month, two months, a year  B)

I can confirm that it will be one of those options.....

Haha, I can see why companies are so reluctant to to give dates!

 

Because if they set a date and then miss it for any reason it looks worse than not giving a date at all. I'm just as excited as anyone else but "it will be done when it's done".

[Ebs 114]

Oh, I'm sure it'll be out by next year...

Haha! Rob Ainscough made a joke of me looking slightly like Cal Crutchlow. I can't see the resemblance myself!

We don't give exact dates because it's software, which is why we tag everything with "this is subject to change" :-)

 

The goal is this weekend for the release, but that's subject to change of course.

 

We gone through 11 Betas, and we're basically down to 4 outstanding bugs, most of which are pretty minor.

 

As mentioned, this is by far the biggest FS2Crew we've ever done, so development time took a lot longer than usual.

I do trust you Vernon, I know the type of questions you ask in the PMDG NG forums, so I know how you like your detail, now am wondering if some of them question were for this project?

 

Anyway chop chop........

 

No those questions weren't related. I pretty much have Ryanairs latest SOPs and the students line training notes! So i'm going through SOP3 (Ryanair) thoroughly to make sure it mirrors there SOPs. Well of course, it perfect

 

Bryan will answer the expected dates.

[codechris 9]

Don't worry Bryan, we know it will be done when it's done. I expect you to upload a picture of you sitting on a beach in the Mediterranean (or wherever you are in the world) with a glass of champagne from the revenue

As an avid NGX flyer, I am really looking forward ot this!  I have never owned any FS2Crew products before and being that I do not use ATC, it will be nice to have some interaction in the cockpit.  Have the other 2 airline SOP's been announced?  Curious if any US airlines are included.....thanks!

[codechris 9]

I don't think Vernon was "announcing" anything there, more just slipping it out

[Ebs 114]

 

 

Have the other 2 airline SOP's been announced? 

 

I don't think FS2Crew are allowed to officially name the airlines used for the SOPs.

If I had to guess though, SOP1 could be a generic Boeing SOP (by the book) with the option of using SWA specific callouts. SOP2 could be Virgin Australia with SOP3 being an airline that begins with "R" and ends with "yanair"...I could be wrong of course!
