May 10, 20224 yr I bought their Porter back last September. They said stage 2 would be free to previous owners when released. Stage 2 adds optional floats, optional tundra tires, optional steam gauges without glass screens. Anybody know if Milviz has given a clue when it will be released? 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

May 10, 20224 yr Author Great! I think for anyone buying the Porter now, they will save money because phase 2 will be free to them. But if they wait, then a higher price. A scenic strip with a 15 degree slope for the Porter or Kodiak is LFIP, Balestas, a.k.a. airport 007. It changed its name to 007 because a James Bond film crew buried the power cables and otherwise tidied it up to make the Pyrenees airstrip location more scenic.

June 4, 20224 yr Strictly speaking Q2 doesn't end till 30th June but either way this project doesn't exactly feel like Milviz have considered it a priority
June 4, 20224 yr Yea I get that, but I was referring to: Quote we'll be starting to show it off in the coming weeks if all goes to plan. Not a word since then, feels like its been repeatedly shoved aside as its unlikely to produce new revenue, but the fact is many like myself bought it with the understanding that stage 2 would be delivered in the near future. If you use the promise of certain extra features to sell something then not delivering on that promise in a reasonable time frame is a far from endearing quality.
June 4, 20224 yr Commercial Member Unfortunately, as pretty much our whole model/paint team is in the Ukraine, we had no choice but to push it again till mid/end of Q3. We do what we can with what we have. Please contact oisin at milviz dot com for forum registration information. Please provide proof of purchase if you want support. Also, include the username you wish to have.

June 4, 20224 yr Maybe now move the "team" that did the 310 to the Porter. I9-14900K, Gigabyte B760 Aorus Elite AX, RTX 4080, 32 ram.1 tb nvme M.2 SSD, MSFS 2020 on 2 tb nvme m.2 SSD

None of that silly human compassion for me, I want my fake plane updated! That explains the delay to the work but unless the team responsible for communicating with customers are also in a warzone it doesn't answer questions about why, say, this isn't mentioned anywhere on the Milviz website

In flightsims of every genre these guys have a big part to play. At the moment the other Porter under development is on hold whilst the entire team fight for their country and their lives....
