August 3, 20232 yr There's an article on FSElite about the PC12 but to me the interesting bit is a comment at the end about an edit to the article Quote Update: Removed reference about the Dash 7 with PILOT’S upon request from the developer as they informed us they are no longer working in conjunction with them. So that doesn't exactly sound promising (though I can't exactly say I'm surprised after the strange way the project went suddenly silent)

August 3, 20232 yr Yeah I guess the big question here is whether they are now working on it alone or not working on it at all. I hope the former but suspect the latter as I think they previously described handing their work off to Pilots to finish.

AIUI SWS were contacted to provide modelling but creating a flyable plane with that is all down to Pilot's.
August 3, 20232 yr Perhaps it’s just that SWS a have completed their part of the contract. Their involvement is over. Like hiring a landscaper to lay sod but once done, the homeowner will add flowers/shrubs and paint the fence. If SWS were fired by PILOTS, that’s a whole other kettle of fish. And considering it’s a year overdue, I suspect something got off the rails with this project.

That probably means goodnight to that then unfortunately. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

August 3, 20232 yr Man, I have been eyeing this one for ages. This is not a good look at all. Kind of wondering if it's even coming out. Richard 7950x3d | 32Gb 6000mHz RAM | 8Tb NVme | RTX 4090 | MSFS | P3D | XP12
August 3, 20232 yr IRC the model was handed over to Pilots some time ago, so the end of SWS's involvement is old news. I'm still (slightly) hopeful. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
August 6, 20232 yr Commercial Member Thank you all for your continued interest in the PILOT'S Dash 7 that we are still getting ready for release! Please rest assured that development is still on-going, some things just take a bit longer that expected sometimes. I leave you with a short video of a small detail I recently implemented, as we continue to fix bugs and work towards release. Jerome Edited August 6, 20232 yr by PILOT'S

In earlier previews the sounds seemed to need some improvement.

August 6, 20232 yr Appreciate the video and update…is this still estimated for a fall release? AMD 5830X Nvidia RTX 3060 Win 11

Jerome Could you provide us with a more comprehensive update regarding what is left to do on the model, and a rough (on the basis of calendar or fiscal quarters) release estimate? I believe this one was due nearly a year ago at this point. I think we're beyond "it'll be ready when it's ready" statements considering prior representations and estimates, as well as some previews being sent out to Youtubers months ago.

August 13, 20232 yr Commercial Member A short update from me. Work on the PILOT'S Dash 7 continues at a steady pace. After integrating the GTN 750 in the cockpit, we have now completed full integration of the GNS 530 too. This means that the PILOT'S Dash 7 features custom made 3D assets for a GNS 530 that are fully animated and textured, these directly hook up with the Working Title GNS 530 code. We are fully aware that you are all very eager to fly the PILOT'S Dash 7, we are trying our best to work towards a release date that is sooner rather than later. Jerome
