Alright everyone! I know you’re not just tuning in, you’re thinking 8-31-2021? Yeah, you read that correctly. That is the hard release date! Last night I was in contact for the final time with Flightsim.to and they are working overtime to ensure their new payware launch is ready to come online. I’ve been hinting at a release this week, but we will have to hold until Tuesday the 31st. At least we have set a hard release date and you’ll be able to fly this aircraft in under a week.

That’s not all the news I bring today! Last night was a milestone in Effects development. Alex from Touching Cloud helped me incorporate a new Smoke System. With this system implemented, each player will be able to control their smoke and color directly from their cockpit with FULL MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT. Which means you’ll be able to color the skies together with precision. When your friend deploys green smoke, you will see it deploy on your screen in real-time as well. This has created a possibility for multi-color airshows! It’s a true multiplayer feature now and I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on it. Smoke trails have also been optimized to look less blocky and restrictive. With this new system implemented, we were limited to 5 colors of smoke. We will be removing Black Smoke from the inventory.

Also, we were able to give Smoke and NOS Boost the ability to be triggered in game with Hotkeys, more information will be provided in the manual in a later date, but now you’ll be able to flip into overdrive on the fly during any competitive race without the need for any 3rd party applications!

We have some extra time now to bring you all additional features on the Gee Bee R3 to ensure your purchase is 100% worth it!

Thank you for all the support and understanding! We will see you all in 7 days painting those skies!

We are coming to Xbox! Not from Day 1, but soon after!

 

That's awesome! I really hope we will be able to use this plane in the Reno race addon that's coming! Man I love the NOS and colored smoke feature! Can't wait to do some amazing things online with this plane and a group of great people to fly with! I can imagine the possibilities of creating some truly and visually appealing airshows! MSFS is becoming more and more than just a FLIGHT sim!

This is going to be fun, it's time to use my Warthog Joystick again 👍

Multiplayer aerobatics formations with different smoke colors will be cool.   

And I've never seen speed brakes on the nose of an aircraft before, personally.
