FSReborn Piper M500 releasing on Thursday

[Mace]

Is there a "paintkit" of sorts for this one?   Or a "paintkit for dummies" in my case?

Not that I'm aware of.  There are a lot of texture maps and it is better suited for 3d painting in Blender, Substance, etc.  Trying to stitch together all the maps for a 2d paintkit master fuse file would be challenging.  I still paint in 2d, but I had knowledge of what to look for in the maps and All I really did was changed the base color to the metallic effect by altering both the albedo and comp files, and change the stripe from blue to red.

This would not be a beginner painter's plane unless you learned to paint in a 3d app from the start.

It seems the Marketplace refreshed but there is no M500; did something fall through?

It would not be the first time MS told a dev they would be releasing a plane and just forgot it 😞

[Cognita]

Yea, still not there; seems it may not be this week.

Back to the TBM.

Well, that is a bit of a b-r.

Are the releases triggered from Asobo/Europe, or Microsoft/SoCal?

Curious, because if it is the latter, then it may turn up later tonight. 

Or is that whistling in the wind over optimism?

I have seen Marketplace updates upto and beyond Midnight GMT so for FSReborn's sake I hope it's just going to be a late one today.

Relax guys, according to the dev on Discord it will be out anytime now. Probably a couple more minutes.

[Mace]

It's only 3:17 PM on the west coast, which is where I think the Microsoft marketplace people may be.  (Pacific Time)

Don't they usually update the marketplace between 1pm and 5pm PST?

Whenever i have noticed the Market Place update it's usually after 23.00pm in the UK, It's only 22.23 at the moment so another half hour or so if it's going to drop today.

Due to the US still being in DST but the UK having left BST last Sunday the US is currently one hour closer to UK time than normal.
