Probably nobody wants to have to provide support for new products over the holidays. 

Yeah, it'd be a bummer to have to rake in that holiday cash and answer some emails plus so a few forum posts.

In our case (Big Radials), SU7 basically halted our productivity, delaying our release for at least 3 weeks, but most likely a bit more, since we cant make it to christmas, we decided to just enjoy some holidays instead 😄 

Enjoy your holiday!   About the upcoming release...  Can you tell us more?

Today is my birthday, so throughout life I have been acutely aware of the days left from the twenty-first to Christmas.  Always felt slighted on my birthday.  This year is no exception! Why?  All we have seen is a trickle of new offerings for MSFS, and no Christmas season releases from A2A, Milviz, or even Carenado.  I was so hoping that creators of high quality aircraft models, especially GA models, were holding off, planning to time releases to take advantage of the season and its spirit.  Obvious here on the shortest day of my year (northern hemisphere) it's not going to happen. 

Sad. 

I have heard a number of reasons for the delays, but most are now ringing hollow with me, because there have been at least some releases since inception.  Just still seems like there is some barrier in the way.

Bah Humbug!

Bah Humbug!

First of all: Happy Birthday!

Regarding some of the well known devs are heavily complaining about some nasty BUGS and lacking SDK. PMDG even took out their DC6 due some "basics" not working EVEN they have followed the SDK on these one.

The trouble they are having and the time they need, to develop a product like a nice airplane (NOT scenery) is huge. 

Thats the reason why we don´t see any complex planes in MSFS (the near or even mid range future).

I recall big promises where done months ago that some well known airplane addons would come this year. They where delayed, again delayed and still are delayed.

XBOX is the nasty thing in this. MS has an eye on the GAMERS and clearly NOT on the Simmers.

I know some of you guys here at AVSIM will shoot me for this statement. But honestly, FACT is we don´t have any of the well known developers plane in MSFS, not a single decent airliner.

Well that looks absolutely fantastic!   I must pop over to the official forum more often.

Isn't Christmas supposed to be all about giving?

I know the feeling, but because of related issues: my birthday is in early January, when everyone goes on holidays. Changing countries fixed nothing. I call this the Capricorn Curse 😝 Luckily, I can send a gift to myself 😎

But what matters most: Happy birthday to you!

True, however what I was implying, without trying to be snide to you in kind, is that I cant help but think there's more to it then that.  Color me skeptical but things seem as if they may be roadblocked on the development side.  If it's just a holiday break we ought to see releases (and hotfixes) flowing like wine shortly after the new year. I guess we shall see.

Release will come when they are ready (hopefully).

Sim modules don't sell like AAA game and missing Xmas seem to mean very little in terms of sales.
