I haven’t seen anything new from your Shrike brand since the F-86 and PA-30.
Did you give that up?

They’ll get to your answer after they left me know what’s up with the SR-71. LOL.

You really have to wonder if another developer will be the one to come out with this. It won’t be the first time something like this has happened.

I hope to see the Blackbird’s Blackbird soon, I trust this guys to do a really good job on the plane that has the name of their company


Yes they are incredibly slow and the Texan was a flop but hopefully this one will be good.

Watch their State of the Sim video’s. The last one talked about I think 2 or 3 Shrike products in the pipe.

What I don’t understand about this community is the way devs who pump out lots of content are mocked because of less than elite quality, yet the devs who produce elite quality are mocked because they don’t pump out lots of content.

Why do you say the Texan was a flop? I don’t have it but it’s a military grade simulation.

The Texan is one of my favorite aircraft, and I have all of the top planes. It is a very well crafted bird with proper heft and feel, FM is great. Started out with a bunch of glaring but simple bugs and got a bad rap. It is absolutely worth its price IMHO.

How do we know what version it’s on? I never get update emails from BB. Them and AT Simulations just never let you know lol

The thing is that at least one dev’s development process is just so incredibly slow that other devs eventually jump in and come out with their own version whilst the original dev’s version is still in the development process. More often than not the first dev then gives up and decides to drop development of the addon entirely.

That’s the point.

I’m on V1.06. It’s available from their support forum.

The Huey is an example, Taog’s came out late June I think.

OK thanks. So I got that now, the installer file says 1.0.6 at least. Manifest still says “package_version”: “1.0.5” though :person_shrugging:

And Addons Linker says this for some reason (0.5.6)!:

And the folder name is milviz-t6a
Maybe the plane wasn’t told it is made by Blackbird Simulations now? :smiley:

That one is a cracking version too :slightly_smiling_face:

It will be interesting to see how well another version sells. It is going to have to be significantly better imo and even then I am not sure how many people will buy it.
