Hi!

Thanks, John,that's all correct, apart from one little thing...

Normally it would probabely have been released by now but something came up, something came in between as it were.... something big...

Yep, a big fat Turkey pushed the little yellow tweety bird aside and it wasn't even Christmas..

It just so happend that our good friend Rob Cappers, of DC-2 fame, offered to convert our FS9 Turkey model to native FSX. Around the same time i stumbled over a post here from RobH asking for info about stencils and other details regarding the Grumman Avenger. He was working on high resolution textures to use for an FSX portover of our FS9 Avenger model.... I then asked him how he would feel about leaving that portover for what it was and put his new high res textures on a native FSX Turkey instead... The rest is history. Well, to us anyway... :)

So it's now deffinately our TBF/TBM Avenger that is going to be our first native FSX product.Just about the whole team is now working on our FSX Turkey that's why the N3N is temporarily parked in the corner of our virtual Maam-Sim hangar. The FSX Turkey will feature all the goodies that FSX makes possible including 3D gauges and as much systems simulation as we can manage to put in. We're also adding much more details which weren't possible with the FS9 version.

The first edition of our native FSX Avenger series will comprise in full detail the TBF-1 and TBF-1C versions plus MAAM's own TBM-3E. That will then be followed by more TBM-3 and derivatives like the TBM-3S and 3W plus TBM-3R (COD). Various fire fighting and tow versions are also in the planning. In between we will try and finish up the N3N and release that too.

Cheers,
Jan
