Pilot's Boeing B314 Clipper in Development for P3Dv4 and FSX

As they've now seriously missed the "fall 2017" release date, I sent them another email recently but, as with my previous emails, I've had no response. It may just be very poor customer relations but, with no updates on their web site for many months, it's starting to look a little dead-in-the-water (no pun intended). Still hoping...

its not uncommon for devs to ignore status request emails, take aerosoft for example they are getting bombarded daily regarding the A320 and A330 on their forum alone, VS and their B25 or VRS and the TACPACK for 64bit
 
Update to my last post. After emailing recently to find out if there was any update on the progress of the B314 v2, I received this today from Stefan Schaefer at PILOT'S:

"Unfortunately nothing than we work on it and proceed, though slower than anticipated. Definitely coming."

Great news.
 
Another update, this time from the Pilot's website: "On the aircraft side we anticipate the B314 - The Clipper to be released this fall. We have started plans for a Martin Mars and target a late 2018 release". Later than expected but, hopefully, worth the wait.

Vortex, reference your post from September 15 on page one of this thread. Is it possible there hasn't been an update? :-(

They did start their news update with "Well, that is new for us. We publish a Road Map for 2018 ..." which I don't think was there previously. It preceded the quote I gave above. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that the info in my post on 11 Jan 18 is correct.
 
I fear this is another example of

1) Real world events/motivations pull them away from sim projects
2) They announce with great fanfare they are back and working on sim projects again.
3) Repeat step 1

Me too; thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to this one.
 
So, no new news about this project? I dont see any new info since the project was announced.

I agree Tom; this looks awesome! :jump:

Happy they chose the B314 as I have the M130 on my list to do. :)

However, secretly, I wish that they have the M130 in the wings awaiting assessment of sales for the 314. :)

Hi Milton,
Any thoughts about revisiting this aircraft..?

SH72, my enthusiasm and initiative for long, drawn-out projects is waning badly and I am slowly working towards hanging up my tools. :)

Hopefully someone else can step up to the plate to deliver this beauty.

Thanks for asking.

M130 in China Clipper livery for FSX available at CalClassic. The textures are certainly dated by today's standards, but she flies well enough. Performance numbers are spot on, quite good enough for long distance dead reckoning supplemented with celestial nav. She's been great for the re-creation videos.

I also would sure love a B-314 with a virtual cockpit though. I had high hopes for this Pilot's project, dunno if it's been abandoned or what.

Completely understandable give your herculean efforts to flight sim endeavors. It will be a very sad day when this happens.
