FALSE ALARM! DTG Flight Simulator to be released...

Just got a message about the releasedate when downloading the latest issue of PC Pilot on my iPad.

That's interesting. There's not even a message about this on the DTG FB and twitter as far as I can see. I wonder if this was an inadvertent 'Oops'? :)

 

The date ties in with Stephen's mentioning of December recently although it doesn't leave much time to fix any major hiccups before Christmas. I just hope DTG have done a better job of testing than seemed to happen for Flight School.

 

Any guesses on pricing?

It was part of a message alerting me about Issue 106 now being available. It had a ref. to the PC Pilot website, but no mention there yet either.

I really hope it is a great sim, however, I will be firmly on the sidelines until reviews are out and probably for a lot longer waiting for addons to be developed for it.

Great news if this date is correct!

Oh! This is quite surprised, I originally thought the launch date is within next year.

Martin had previously confirmed that they'd launch by Christmas.

Of course the key thing is what's going to be in the initial release, closely followed by some sort of roadmap for the following years. Equally what's this super duper thing that will, according to Martin, explain the delay in giving any info about the sim.

 

My guess is part of the delay has been agreeing a contract for whatever it is. After the embarrassment of repeated delays agreeing the contract for Orbx global base I imagine DTG are keen to avoid a repeat.

As much as I like ORBX I'd rather see dovetail having their own global terrain experts working on new and better textures. The ORBX landclass textures are not without flaws. 

 

It will also be interesting to see if they can make a better SDK to spawn a wider interest in scenery creation etc.

From what has been said so far, it looks like they're trying to make development more accessible than it was before. That would be great, as it would mean more freeware and payware developers.

XP11 November and the new DTG in December both 64 bit - things are shaping up for a great holiday season for flightsimmers.

I'm not seeing any evidence of this... Not even a bit.  There's been absolutely ZERO contact from DTG to any dev that I know of on this subject... So, unless I missed the memo, please let me know where you got that info...

 

Thanks

That was my concern. I think it's time for developers start looking at the X-Plane 11 with other eyes. I think that's the future especially with what I've seen so far. 

 

Or we will be another 10 years in a platform with only minor improvements but lack of realism.

  • Commercial Member

Doesn't change the fact that we've not been contacted and neither has anyone else we know. And that's a fair amount of devs...

 

Any other devs willing to comment?
