Cameron Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Hi, Captains!, This is just a quick status report on where we stand. Tomorrow will mark our one week window of release week information. We are making every effort to meet that time, though unexpected items (small or big) can get in the way and delay that only slightly, if at all. We have released Release Candidate 1.0 to our test team and they are putting the installer and programming through the paces. At this point it's important to ensure we have squashed the bugs they report from beta to beta (so far so good). We will continue to get feedback from them and fix as necessary. This is also our quality control check time. We are verifying that the package contains all it needs to, and none of what it shouldn't. We go through every texture, variant, and livery. We're also fine tuning a few animations we didn't quite like and had better ideas for, but that's nothing big or delay worthy. The big one right now is the manual. We are still in the phase of compiling the final layout and content aside from what we have had already during this time. Releasing a product like this without a good quality manual renders this product almost useless for the majority of folks, so it's important we get this one done. I don't know exactly when we'll get this out the door (tonight, tomorrow morning, whatever) other than to say when we say it's "done!" It's very, very, very close, and it's exciting for all of us to say the least! So, this is just a little status report. We're still here, working around the clock, and ready for a vacation. Talk soon! 8
Shane Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the update! Any chance you could release the manual a little early so we can start studying up on her? Sent from my BNTV600 using Tapatalk 2 Edited September 10, 2013 by Shane
Mario Donick Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks for the update!Any chance you could release the manual a little early so we can start studying up on her?If you read again, you might notice that it is the manual that currently takes the most amount of time, so I doubt it will be ready before the actual product. 1
Ben Russell Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Read the Saab manuals. And be prepared to learn a few extra little things that Saab didn't cover. Subtle little things that only an active pilot would notice. 2
scubajuan_new Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks for the update this is excellent news. My B'day is tomorrow so I give you one more day to finish it on time
ss8913 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 you might get the plane before the manual so you can figure it out by trial and error, so that when you DO get the manual you'll understand what it's talking about also... have you guys released any pricing information for this yet, or do we have to wait until the Day Itself to know how much it will cost? 1
Goran_M Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Price will be announced on the day of release.
Mario Donick Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Great part about the manual, made me laugh!Price: Nothing known yet, beside that Cameron called it "fair for what you get".
Phantom88 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Thank You for the update,It's great to hear all the time and effort going in to this product to insure its Quality. When it's done,We'll be there! 1

BWolf7 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Saab 340 for dummies... thats going to be me!
Ben Russell Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Due to popular demand we're putting the project back on the workbench for another year to add an FMC. 5
pryoski Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 It looks like you developers get paid too much .. with that kind of lifestyle!
Ben Russell Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 This is a more realistic depiction of my fishing gear budget: 1
pryoski Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 Lol! Hey, I'm a hand-line specialist too.
AtomicFrawg Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Less funny pics More worky. Chop CHop . Just kidden I bet you guys are beat and when the Saab, you guys will all breath a sigh of relief. It has to feel great that something you made is this much in demand.
Mario Donick Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Alright... Today is the day! I think I will only be able to focus on important things again once I have that plane in my hands. Funny -- never been hyped by a commercial product that much before. 1

Mario Donick Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 I'm somewhat angry about myself that I am victim to the marketing efforts of the guys at X-Aviation. On the other hand -- feels like the time when I was a teenager (Well. It's not THAT long ago.) and I had no real important responsibilities. The Saab makes me young again *lol* 1
andydckent Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 I'm ready for the SAAB now! What part of the world do Cameron and the rest of the team live on and what time do they generally get up so I can be ready?
