Ask Dovetail Games about DTG Flight School & Flight Simulator

[ca_metal 2,015]

The most important question to me, after today can we start talking about the Full Simulator?

I´m trying to support DTG, I have faith on you.

[jcomm 5,890]

I intend to use Flight School mainly as an entertainment flight simulator.

 

I already know the flight dynamics will be excatly the same of FSX, and I have hope that this can be fine tuned for their upcoming Flight Simulator.

 

I also intend to test the stability of the new 64 bit DX11 platform in my old i5 2500, comparing to what I had in FSX, FSX SE, P3D up to v2.4 and X-plane 10.

 

I really want to like it, but it's just a few hours more before I get the chance to get my hands on it :-)

I preordered this and did not receive the third airplane that was supposed to be included. Does anyone know why that is?

Same here...no 3rd plane

Yes that's because it hasn't been released yet. It was very clear that when it is released with the extra missions and lessons for it we will get it. Everyone else will have to buy it later.

That's not the way I understood it at all.

First post in this thread by heimi. I linked to the thread as I can't find the original on steam as of course this was a pre order bonus and so is no longer on the page. So when it is released we get it and then 60 days later everyone else gets it. As a correction I believe it will be free to everyone but pre orders get it first.

Here is a link to a comment from Martin regarding this.

How odd. It was very clear to me that it would not be released for several weeks after the initial release.

What aircraft are included in Flight School?

There will be two aircraft included In Flight School at launch: the Piper PA-18 Super Cub and the Piper PA-28 Cherokee. A free update which will include a Diamond DA42 will launch later this year.

 

I stand corrected, and will also be much more wary in the future.

The DA42 update is currently scheduled for next month (June 2016). Those of you who have pre-ordered Flight School will receive this update as soon as it is available. Players who have not pre-ordered Flight School will receive this update 60 days afterwards.

Thanks for the clarification Martin

Hi Martin!

 

Sorry for keeping you that busy, but am I right in assuming that the DA42 which we're gonna get for Flight School will be the Alabeo DA42 Twin Star v2, that was just released for FSX/P3D?

 

Best regards,

Dom
