SWS "no longer working in conjunction" with Pilots on Dash 7

What happened with SWS?

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Hello Jerome.  It was in the title of this thread.

Hi Rob,

Yes, some wild speculation going on, not sure why.

Nothing "happened" with regard to SWS, they did their bit of work on the Dash 7 and PILOT'S is completing the Dash 7 project for it to be release ready, that's all there is to it.

Hopefully that puts it to bed.

A short update from me.

I'm very happy with the progress being made on the PILOT'S Dash 7 soundset. One of the major hold ups of the project is that the developer originally tasked with taking care of the sounds for us decided to abort the project before final delivery and left us in the lurch. I have no idea why, all communication suddenly ceased, emails and phone calls unanswered, and at the end of the day money paid for nothing. A real shocker that such developers continue to exist!

Here is a short video for you:

The video shows prop RPM run up to full, then I add full throttle turbine power, then back to idle, and I think you will agree that the prop beta range sounds exceptionally good as the propellers are put into reverse thrust.

The interior sounds are also almost complete now, I will continue to keep you informed on progress and thank you all for you continued patience.

Please rest assured that at PILOT'S we are as eager to see the Dash 7 released as you all are!

Most definitely, Jerome. The work on the sounds are coming along great! Looking forward to having this one in the future. 

Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?

Looks good, Jerome. Take all the time you need - it's not as if we don't have other aircraft to play with.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Sounds great.  Just like I remember the real thing many years ago. Standing not far from a turboprop under full power or beta is quite an experience.

SWS have absolutely NOTHING to do with the sound, that was an entirely different developer.

I am 75, have been simming since '84 (ATP anyone?), and am financially limited in my sim allowance. Having said that, I have not spent anything on other A/C (except the C-310R) so that I can make sure I can afford this one! Looking forward to it!
