While that may be your perspective, it's not reality.
I don't know what higher priority it can be given. It's literally being worked on every day. You just don't seem to grasp how big a project these products can be, and as I've previously stated, this update is very extensive in code change.
The day will come it will be seen again.
The sad thing about X-Plane is that Laminar doesn't seem to care about their loyal followers. The last few updates have rarely been bug fixes and what is, apparently, in the pipeline doesn't materialize. It's all empty promises and nothing to show for months on end. People are going back to XP11 and what does that tell you. No fun anymore. Looking for something else to do.
