About the status of the service pack

We have some textures to fix. We will be building tomorrow.
At the moment I am seeing the testing team going deeper into the systems - currently looking at how 3rd party weather affects AP response at different altitudes.

Thanks for the update Oisin. Can't wait to see the result

It's boring at home. Let's test together!

[xender]

I still think they should release what they have now as SP1-RC1, since it looks better than what we have. Let us test that, and fix the small texture issue + any new bugs that we find in the SP1-RC2, and then release the official SP1 after it has been tested and polished by anyone who wishes to test.

....or just wait until it's released.
A small dev team already working hard to meet a deadline should not focus on new "beta testing" scenarios and submissions.

Let them finish.

Doe's it possible to get this SP1 machine on weekend to cross the pond?

[qqwertzde]

Why that?
Maybe you want to fly from Canada CYYT to France LFVP?

He could do what I do instead of getting involved in the oceanic control madness that happens every time: bounce around both ends of the pond and enjoy the full ATC coverage while getting more then one flight in.

Update:
You remember we said there were minor texture tweaks that needed doing?
Well, it turns out that fixing these minor errors is actually going to require re-doing quite a lot of work, so we won't be able to build the SP until next week. That being said, we will do a test build today to make sure all the other elements (systems, etc) are good.

Feel free PM or email me for more details.

Thanks for the update. Keep up the good work! Keep us updated.

Unexpected duplicate waypoint fix has forced another delay (looks like a Navigraph vs P3D issue) - Monday build probably.

Apologies

[maqour.daniel]

Thanks for the update.Even if it's always a bit disappointing, we now know what's going on and it's far better !

Thanks for the updates Oisin! If you build Monday and all goes well..does that put it in our hands Monday?

[doodlebug]

I doubt if the textures will be done by then. I hope that Monday's build will confirm that all the other bits are 100%.
It may be possible to put the build in the hands of those that want to have a quick look (no promises - I would need permission from on high) with the proviso that it is not the RC.
