Hello everybody!
Regarding the panel and VC, as of right now those are currently under discussion within the group. We apologize for not developing them for the initial release, but they do take a considerable amount of time to develop on top of some of our other planned projects, and we had decided to release without for now. Bear in mind, this was our first aircraft project release and we were keen to test the waters.
But keep an eye out, both of these items are under serious development consideration by the group.
Regarding the model and sounds, austerdriver mentioned that he felt BSMP's were a lot better, not that we are trying to compete with BSMP, that's not what freeware is about, but what can we do to improve our product in future updates? We are very interested in hearing everyone's feedback as to how we can better our projects. Sadly, a couple of us (myself included) had a standoffish attitude towards this point during the release, but we have readjusted our focus and are keen to hear about what we can do to improve our projects.
We have a planned upcoming ATP-F that we have previewed in our forums, and if there are things we can do to improve other aspects of the ATP before releasing the Freighter, we would love to include them in the Freighter with respective updates to the passenger version of the model.
Plymouthair also mentioned some power and throttle issues with the FDE, we have gotten a few notifications about that, with the aircraft moving on its own, we were under the impression that as a turboprop, that was related to incorrect condition settings (or the ATP's equivalent, if it has one), we aren't familiar with the ATP's systems at the present time, and there seem to be a lack of resources regarding ATP systems. On the FDE side, it's definitely something we can look into and play with, if anyone has more information regarding ATP systems and flight characteristics, again, we are keen to hear about them so we can make appropriate fixes and updates.
We are interested in trying to provide the highest quality projects that we can (within our means and capabilities of course, and those we are constantly trying to improve and expand upon), and we won't be offended by people describing what they feel could be better, we welcome that because it lets us know what we can do better, and what we need to update. Please, feel free to tell us what you think needs to be improved or come visit us on our forums and give us feedback, we will gladly listen.
