Weather radar on the ATR is a good sign

At the end, during the roadmap, Jorg mentioned there is a surprise in store for June, and to pay close attention to the next two weeks. The surprise was listed in the DLC category along with Top Gun, Reno, etc...

I'm hoping it's a career mode or some sort of air carrier mission oriented DLC.

I do like surprises and I think it's fun that they hold some things back.

I also noted that helicopters is now listed as a DLC for Fall of this year.

The X-Box Game Conference is June 12th. So probably something will be announced there. They're also announcing the next world update there.

I'm very disappointed they are not well down the path of fixing the AI/Model Matching situation.

Yes, it is along way down this road and I'm not sure we will ever arrive. The whole ai thing is still desolate.

They are adding a lot of 'bling', which I do not care about. Top Gun - Shmog Gun... They should really stop developing aircraft and leave it up to 3rd parties.

In the meantime basic things are still broken after almost two years. Kamikaze airport vehicles. PAPPIS do not align with the proper glide slope on most major airports, AI is a joke, not to mention ATC, weather changes pop-in etc.

Fix the base sim first and then you can add bling. Just my opinion.....

This DLC does not take dev time away from those features.

I heard that Asobo, Milviz and Aerosoft are all working on their own ATR72-600s at the same time, so this will get interesting... Hopefully at least one of them will be study level 

Sales must be low once they are released due to that competition.
