I have been watching this Sim for some time now.Is there a time frame for release.Thanks

No, there's not. There isn't a publisher yet.

But there are LOADS of voulenteer Beta testers (i.e. me!)

im still waithing for the PM...

taking a wild guess.... 2009/2010 unless their hideing sumthing we don't know about.

The fact is that this is a private endeavour, with no agreement as yet on distribution. I think "It's done when it's ready" is the mantra for this one. Unlike other efforts, I think this one is going to be ready for release long before it looks to dated to justify it!

I wonder if it would be worth them doing a release through Steam or FlightSimStore.com rather than a traditional box release? Doubtless they are looking at all the options.

S! to Dante and the team on this one. We wait patiently

Torquatus

saying that... If they self publish, that might be better cos that way they'll own their own game.

Thanks for your replies.

Anything happening at Jet Thunder HQ?

Always something happening at Jet Thunder's HQ

I am working in Isla de Los Estados terrains, a place about 150 miles southeast of Rio Grande airbase in Argentina:



The programmers fixed some important glitches and things seems to be moving ahead.

New regions around Tierra del Fuego:
























Notice that I'm adding the very important shoreline objects. 8-)

We will have many trees in these regions (some are visible in the pics above) and also snow capped hill tops and glaciers.

Awesome!

Everything looks impressive, of course.

Thanks for screenshots, looks good

That looks awesome, Dante!

Very nice indeed!!!

Looking good, the coastal areas take some work eh?

Fantastic. Bring on the finished product.

I am really looking forward to this product. It's been very comforting to watch the development process and know what is happening. In recent years we've had a LOT of shoddy products in this genre that rely on keeping the consumer ignorant of the product's actual state on release - with the result of dump and run.

Beautiful screenshots, but just a comment about the setting of these views.

In my opinion, it would be much better to have, as a standard setup for the aircraft external view, a focal which just matches the focale of the human eyes, so basically 43mm. With a wider view, aircrafts are slighlty distored, what is not very aesthetic. For instance, it's obvious here, on the 3/4 views, that the fuselage of the A-4 is making a "banana" ;-)

Also important is that the aircraft is not be seen from too far away, like in Il-2 for instance, in the medium external view.

I agree completely, although of course the player should be able to adjust the field of vision in the game as well as set the default value in the main menu.
