Folks, for now all the tutorial videos we planned to release have been released.  This week would have seen the turn of preview videos from lucky streamers and YouTubers but we've shelved those plans for now.  We're itching to get back at it but it makes sense to just hold fire for a while otherwise we risk having too much pre-release coverage live and available way too early. Timing is key so when the time is right we'll start the engines again, rest assured.  Thanks again for your patience.

Scott.  No impact to Just Flight 146 v2 update slated for tomorrow, right?  Another hotly awaited release. 
TIA,

Quite right. None.

Thank you.  I feel that even one week with streamers showing off the product is too much. It has already taken away the hype for me and I am no longer feeling the urge to test it out. Feels more like one of many product updates that drops every week in MSFS. I understand it is a way to pay back to the streamers as it is generating more traffic for them but 1-2 days feels better. Especially when it comes to paid updates (which this isn’t off course).

100% agree on this and even some streamers do. Jamie aka LondonController spoke to PMDG about this at FSWeekend and he said that the stream "hype" phase before the 777 release will be much shorter than it was for the 737.

The hype for a Black Square plane or a 777 never dies.

So, dumb question here but what's the latest speculative/notional date on the SU15 thingy release?

I think the last timescale MS mentioned, after the 26th March date came and went, was "sometime in April".  I know we certainly don't have a date at this point. 

Since the stream of new BlackSquare Duke teaser videos ran dry life is not the same as before. One wakes up in the morning and now there is nothing to look forward to anymore (except the excruciating wait for the release.) Life as a sim fan can be really hard sometimes when a very special aircraft release is getting close.

They always say "get a life" and "get a hobby" and whatnot, but I can´t even focus on any game or movie anymore because I always see these awesome pistons going on the EFB, and instead of focusing on a movie I wonder how fast the turbine version will climb above the clouds and if the St. Elms fire and electric discharges on the lightning rods are also be visible above thunderstorm clouds... 😄

Nearly half way through April 🙂🙃🙂🙃

Same here, I was really looking forward to this aircraft, likely what I fly throughout the whole summer.

What is holding SU15 up? It is not usual that they delay these twice and now with no release time frame even stated. I hope it is not that inibuilds 320.

Afaik it's the Airbus.

Everyone will really love the Duke 😉

If the inibuilds A320 is the thing that is holding up SU15, then Asobo need to take it out of the update again. Release the A320 when it's fully ready for prime time.

I agree, there are so many updates and releases in the pipeline all waiting for SU15. It's getting really annoying.

I agree, if it's the airbus just do a separate update...why hold back the entire SU15 for one plane (that we have numerous equivalent options for in airbus)?

Feels like devs are waiting for SU15 to drop before releasing...eg. Black Square, SWS...

Hard to wait sometimes!
