Agreed, any rough update would be nice.

We don't have any news to post right now. The only thing sure, is that we'll release it somewhere in 2018. We will show it in public at the FlightsimExpo in Las Vegas, but at this time, we are not prepared to disclose a precise release date.

I didn't see your presentation in Las Vegas, did you do one?

Yes, it started right up with O'Hare, where I showed something never seen before: the Avatar walking up on a staircase from outside the terminal, opening the outside door and coming in, with the full interior modeled, and a WORKING Arrival/Departure panel, showing flight information taken directly from the actual AI airplanes, which looks exactly like the real one used at O'Hare. Then, I make a quick turnaround of the airport, showing the general textures quality. We'll probably upload a video of this soon enough.

Of all speakers, I was the only one running a presentation "Live" on my Laptop, with no Powerpoint or pre-rendered videos...

The rest of the presentation was focused on GSX Level 2 but, unfortunately, the 5 minutes I had weren't enough to cover two products, so I couldn't find the time to show the most attractive feature (Animated passengers) on the big screen but, hundreds of users experienced it first-hand at our booth.

September, if everything goes well with testing.

I’d love to see the video you played at FSExpo as well!  Couldn’t make it unfortunately.  It sounds amazing

Hello - with the ongoing construction in the real world at ORD, is there a date the team is using as reference for the airport?  Just curious what the timestamp will be, and if there is any thought on updates as time progresses.

FYI, a few pictures from my trip last week showing the work being done on the new concourse.  For example, 32L/14R is now a large taxiway, SS, as charted today.  The new terminal will be constructed west of the current terminal, etc...

Right turn after departing 28R, to the right is where the new terminal construction is underway.  Essentially, a gravel field right now clearing land



Looking at the fuel farm and maintenance hangers near the threshold of 09L.

March 2018, I think.

Yes, and it's a battle we can't win...

As an airline captain based at ORD I can confirm this airport is just one giant ongoing construction project, as are many things in the city of Chicago....

Any timeframe update for the release other than 2018?  What is the project status?  Thanks

They're not going to say, they never do.

There's nothing new to report. The scenery is still scheduled to be released sometime in 2018.

Great job Guys,

I have a question regarding the information panels. Will their be a feature for PFPX users where you are able to export the flightplan so will show up on the information panel?
