Gute Nachrichten aus dem Hause Qualitywings. Corey Fords, seines Zeichens Design Advisor, gab bekannt dass man versuche bis Ende November bzw Anfang Dezember die 757 Collection, für den FS9 und FSX zu veröffentlichen. Sollten keine weiteren Probleme bei den aktuellen Betatests auftreten, können sich die 757 Fans somit über ein neues Spielzeug für Weihnachten freuen. Das ausführliche Review der 757 Collection finden Sie in der FlightXPress August Ausgabe.

Original Auszug von Corey Fords Beitrag:

“OK here’s the deal.

We’re very deep in what is looking like the final round testing. We MAY be ok for our announced Late November release – or maybe not. I refuse to be specific with you guys yet, because there is something about anticipation and expectations that brings out the worst in people lol. But while I don’t wanna say release is imminent, we’re pretty darn close to wrapping here up! Look around here and you’ll see little clues

While testing, we are going through our final batch of fringe items to determine whether or not we will include them or not. Some of them will make release and some will not. The priority is finding bugs at this point of course.

As always,
Stay tuned!”
