I honestly passed on the initial release of this product due to the almost good enough graphics. Looks like that critique has been completely nullified. Whoa! You definitely have my attention now. Great job! It looks incredible.

Thank you Sir … We do try to listen to customers and wherever practical we will Act on their comments

Just as a little hint …
IF you are considering pulling the trigger on this one … I suggest doing it now at the current price of 24.99 Euro and you will then get the Free Update as soon as its released.

The Price of buying the new product on release will be in line with our BN Trislander at 29.99 Euro

Will it be a marketplace upgrade as well. Love the current version and this looks fantastic.

Fantastic. Was just flying around in the Islander today and thinking how much fun it was to fly. Looking forward to v2. Thank you. Hope you sell loads more copies. Will the msfs marketplace version be soon or another month or more away, as I think I bought my copy there.

Congratulations and a huge thank you, @NightMercury358 what a treat!

What is next on BBS’ project list?

If it’s like the Trislander release then direct purchasers will get the chance to find all the bugs before the marketplace update :wink:

Yes … the marketplace will carry the Free Update but you will need to uninstall the original version as they will not be compatible

I have to answer for him…lol… do228 or short 360. I think your team would do a great job on that style of aircraft. any way looking forward to whatever you bring out next.

Looks like I’ll finally by buying this one!

Is a Short SC.7 Skyvan too similar to our beloved Islander and Trislander?

I like the idea of a funky turboprop.

I like your thinking.

I’ll butt in there too if I may (although did much earlier re lists).
Your proven small prop a/c really invite another of similar ilk. Plenty of work is being done in jets, so leave them out of it.

  1. SAAB340
  2. J31 or 41
  3. Metroliner 23
  4. S360 or S330
  5. ATP

these would be worthy I think, although I favour the 340 or J31 due to their speed and probably higher uptake.

Skyvan / bus / S330/360, or that insane Beagle B.206 twin.

Or a Dart Herald or a Viscount, but that’s a heck of a job :stuck_out_tongue: also involves turboprops, which are generally a source of complaint right now…

Edit: so does a Skybus of course, for some reason I thought they were piston.

Sheds please :grin: Got to love some Shorts :flight_departure:

Really pleased to see the love for Belfasts finest. I grew up looking over Sydenham and Harland & Wolff and these were a really big deal. The 360 and 330 demonstrators where always overhead and when the Sherpa won the US Army contract it was a huge thing for NI.
