Dovetail Flight Simulator Announcment

They should have partnered with R* to make a flight/ground/water sim. IMHO

I found this to be an interesting thread on the subject of DTG using FSX vs. Flight!. Check Stonelance's posts in particular as he was a Flight developer.

Great video Nova! This really gives me a different and realistic perspective on Dovetail Games. I cant wait to see what these new flight simulators have to offer.

Does anyone know if it will support the Saitek panels?

[Oz-Flyer]

Good question that no one wants to answer at this point. My guess is flight school NO the full sim yes.

[Novawing24]

When I was speaking with Stephen he said that he uses a full Saitek setup and that it all works with Flight School. I admit I didn't clarify if that included panels or not.

So as David says no answer either way as yet.

, does that mean they are charging for patches?

[Travis]

I thought they said it would be released in April?

[Novawing24]

Summary:
- DTG Flight School will be released in April (from the end date of pre-orders I would Say April 26 PST)
- DTG will continue their policy of Not charging for patches
- The DA42 will be a free update for all owners of Flight School no matter whether you pre-order or not
- Pre orders get access to the DA42 in beta.
- The DA42 is scheduled to come out in June (potentially meaning that pre-order customers will have it at launch or VERY shortly after)
