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

Some more progress! This looks like a day-one purchase for certain. Per the Pilot's FB page:

Release time ... we expect it to be soon!

fortunately, a small update! Something I noticed recently in my perusal of things I can now afford (If they ever see the light of day) I was surprised to find a few new tabs on the 314 page, including a Downloads tab with manuals and documentation! (And a paper model, which I now need to figure out how to print) a features tab with some info and an updated screenshot page, which has some lovely views of the cockpit. https://www.pilots.shop/Cms/Ui/Pages/Products/MainPage.aspx?id=9c96eb9a-0097-4083-be89-64f534a61a6e I'm personally left to assume that release is reasonably imminent, if the manuals are out it mustn't be really far behind.Sadly, it looks like FSX has left the picture and they are focusing primarily on P3d 4.5+
 
Documentation..!

Thanks for the good catch about this aircraft coming to production.!
Sad for me as I only have FSX as it does look good enough to spend the money on.

For those in the same situation its definitely worth downloading the documentation as it quite extensive,
especially the aircraft history with lots of photos, drawings and memorabilia from the time.

Looks real nice, but I'm not seeing where this product is being developed for FSX,

Perhaps this entire thread needs to be moved to the P3D forum. :mixed-smiley-027:

I'd say you are correct, as FSX was certainly a focus at the start but the move to PBR has put this one out past the fence so to speak!

There is already a thread in the P3D forum, so probably wise to leave it here until we know for sure it's not for FSX. Which would be a crying shame if that was the case.
 
I'm afraid FSX is indeed out of the loop guys.

These days, no one is developing for FSX anymore. With the advent of MSFS, P3D v4.x/v5.x and MSFS are the sims that any payware developer who wants to make a living is looking at. FSX just isn't financially viable anymore.

This is of course just my humble opinion.

I agree - I'm still using FSX though, not ready for that big hardware upgrade yet, but I think there are so many addons for it that I have everything I'll ever need. I was really looking forward to the Clipper, but I understand why it's not gonna be available for such an outdated platform - it is what it is. To me the only pain point is the unfinished Vega from Wing42 - myself and quite a few other people jumped onboard with and bought the Beta at full price thinking that we'll get a finished product at some point. The developer pretty much abandoned it at version 0.85 (still buggy and unfinished) and jumped on the MSFS bandwagon (actually working on a second addon for it now). He doesn't even communicate on the support forum anymore. It does bother me that he just took the money, but hey, that's not the first kickstart project that never fully delivered...
