Anyone knows which previous purchase will give you a discount on this one? I bought the Arrow III/IV for Aerofly FS 2 last year (or the year before) and haven't received an e-mail about a possible discount. Is that because this new one is the III only and not the III/IV...? Or is it because only FSX/P3D purchases will give a discount? I would like to get this one but it's not THE plane I am waiting for so the full price is a bit too much for me right now. 😉

You'll need to wait for the Turbo Arrow release to get the discount for that version.

If you want this one and are looking to save some money - did you buy from Just Flight?  If so check to see if you have some Reward Points you could use.  Or if you do buy the Arrow not at full price you'll get a 66% discount offer on the Turbo Version.  That might be worth consideration.

Hope that helps.

To answer the questions about the icing issue for those who are concerned about the omission of the current feature...

This was certainly not a case of 'cutting corners'. Somewhat surprised at that allegation and if you look at the myriad of other features and cool additions we've dedicated time and effort on we'd hope those who believe we've cut corners might just reconsider.  Many of those other things we could easily have ignored or chose to not tackle.  We didn't because we thought folk would enjoy seeing them in the aircraft and spending time on getting those things implemented and working nicely would be justified. 

That said where possible we'll do our best to listen to feedback and ensure we can keep as many of you as happy as we can, within limits of course.  We had already decided that we'd look at the icing issue after release and we'll be doing that and may now look to speed that up.  But to be clear the reason we decided to leave it alone for now was a. it's generally not allowed to fly your Arrow where ice conditions might exist and b. what is there at the moment in default aircraft we're not keen on at all.   So as as explained already and elsewhere we knocked the idea and feature on the head so we could go concentrate on stuff that we thought would be more important to people and believe that was the right choice.  We simply didn't believe leaving it in as it is currently was the right thing to do, it wasn't going to a good fit with what we were creating here so the decision was taken to omit it totally. Who knows where our investigation into the feature will take us we sincerely hope we'll be able to improve the feature and bring you something much improved, let's see on that front.  To confirm though, as things stand, if you head to icy areas the systems will respond and you can act accordingly it's just that there will be no visual representation for now. 

There's no definite right or wrong here as evidenced by the varying opinions on the thread but I hope that brief explanation helps and to repeat, it's really your choice if this is vital to you then opting to not buy right now probably makes sense.  Maybe take a look again when we have something in there for it?

Thanks All and just to add we really appreciate the ongoing interest shown in our Arrow and the patience whilst you all wait for your first flight, we're working tirelessly here and hope for a release very very soon! 

Thanks for the response.

Am I right in thinking (from what's been posted on Twitter) that what we are talking bout here is the vfisual icing effects and that the physical effects of the icing will still be felt in the sim ?

Also any chance of a release today ? 🙂

I’m curious if I purchased the arrow at another store for P3D can I still get the discount for the MSFS version?  I didn’t get an email about this yet from Just Flight and I haven’t gone looking through my files but I’m guessing I purchased it elsewhere (maybe PC aviator?  I used to buy a lot from them).

edit: don’t mind me, I also previously purchased the turbo arrow, not the regular arrow.  I clearly need more coffee 🙂

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I bought from JF: I have 140 reward points worth € 1.75 LOL, well, it's something. 😉

Will the turbo version be a seperate version or do you need the III-version as some sort of base for it? I see a seperate III in the shop, a seperate IV, a seperate Turbo III/IV, a bundle... quite confusing. 😉 The 66% discount sounds nice: I will wait and see what the III/IV on its own will cost (if it's a seperate version) and what discount that will give me and then I'll see which option saves me the most money. Yeah, I'm Dutch.  😉

I thought today was the day? But maybe they've decided to wait for the sim update.

The emphasis is mine. If this is a commitment i will buy. Except there's nothing to press "Buy" on yet.

Are there any truly HD video's of this Arrow somewhere? Because in the ones I've seen so far the cockpit (fonts) seem a bit blurried...? I can't find a really SHARP video? I suppose it's YouTube screwing up things...?

The two aircraft can be bought separately and they are the same price as each other.  The bundle will offer them together and will enable you to save money.  Look at the way the PSD/FSX versions and that bundle works on our site.  This mechanic will replicate that.  Cheapest option is to buy the Arrow and then buy the Turbo with your discount code that gives 66% off.  That will give you them both for a few quid less than buying the bundle.  Hope that helps.

We're trying to get it sorted and ready for release this afternoon. It will be tight but fingers are crossed.

Get in touch with our support team and if you have some form of proof of purchase they might be able to help.  The offer will also be extended to other stores who will be selling it of course too.
