SXM Pre Release discussion

They have not disclosed anything beyond that… A little bit weird. I suggest in May or June as it is close to April at this moment.

It was mentioned on a recent Instagram post that they are going to show one final set of player liveries, which if I believe the idea was one set a week, showing 4 at a time. Maybe that could be a hint at an April release, but that’s just guess work.

Q2 is from April to June. Given how large of a range that is, the update will likely come in that timeframe. For the liveries, they will have shown all 16 of them by this Friday, 3/31. Perhaps that means the update will come in the following days? Who knows.

It would be nice to have more regular development information considering we have been waiting for well over a year. Hopefully we get a devblog in April about how it’s going.

That was also my logic. Hopefully we get another devblog soon see how far things have come since the last one was posted.

We have not ever seen any new UI pictures (if I do not count those from portal). I am quite curious about the new game look. I hoped for March update as well.

Didn’t they want to show us the cargo versions of those liveries as well? If they decide to do them separately it would take at least another month (including this week) of showing us player liveries.

Perhaps, though personally I feel that would be nonsensical. The difference between the cargo and passenger versions is nothing except the cardboard box logo and the cargo text. So I don’t think this makes sense.

It would also be a little frustrating showing us liveries we’ve technically already seen instead of showing us more about the main features of the update. We haven’t seen/heard much about contracts, handling, and radars, and basically nothing about the airline manager.

Here’s an exchange from the WOA Discord. For context, Tom was asked if he knew if gameplay vids or a devblog was in the works. Now, considering how anticipated and useful gameplay vids would be, what could possibly be better except the update itself?

This does not confirm anything about the update release, but I would say we should hear some big and/or great news in the near future.

This is from yesterday conversation I iniciated by tagging Tom just to revive the chat. We have to put more pressure on mods to get some new content information. What can we loose? :innocent:

Well, not necessarily putting pressure. These guys are working real hard and we all respect them for that. We just would like more information on development status.

The only thing that wouldn’t be the full update would be some sort of preview I’m guessing.

The latest development is the addition of a custom libraries job. So, I’m just guessing, but I hope this means that an update is coming soon!

More exchanges from Discord. This was followed by another mod who reminded Tom that this was supposed to be kept a secret. It seems the mods and devs are building hype in anticipation of some news.

Based on what we know so far, what S plane are you going to use for your “Island hopping” in SXM. And why this type? I am looking for “ïnspiration” :thinking:.

I think BAE146 would be the best idea.

It comes with the highest pax and the most earning as I can recall in S planes.

The only downside for this would be the range (compared to E jets), but since we are doing in the Caribbean sea destinations, I suggest it is not a big issue.

I’ll probably end up using twin otters and ATRs for most of my island hops, means you can use some of the smaller airports providing they are added.

Another thing I am wondering is what the contracts are going to do. For example, it could be that flying a bigger plane to a close destination may result in negative income.
