Just to confirm our Arrows are now with MS for placement onto the marketplace, they were sent originally around six weeks ago. That’s where the good news ends (for now). They finally got round to looking to expedite them onto the marketplace but since we have received a number of bug reports from them, all of which we are unable to recreate internally and the majority have never been reported or noticed by the thousands of users who are out there who have bought from us and are enjoying flying the plane(s).
We are trying to work out what’s going on here but we’re also flat-out trying to get the Hawk T1/A complete and ready for sale for MSFS so it’s not going to be anytime soon it would seem before the Arrows hit the marketplace. We are just trying to prioritise various projects right now.
Yes we look to sell exclusively from our website at launch and we try and keep it that way for a month to six weeks. We’ll then offer our products out to third parties and in this instance that will include MS and the marketplace, it’s just unfortunate we were met with SU5 about the same time we supplied for the marketplace. That and the fact the Arrows contain so much custom code seem to be the leading reasons why it’s all got so complicated right now. We’re on the case and continue to try and get the Arrows sorted and cleared for the Marketplace.
