    BN2 Islander

    I keep seeing some fantastic screenshots of AlphaSim's BN2 'Islander'. Does anyone have any clue when this great looking aircraft is going to be taking to the air? I don't dare ask AlphaSim directly cause they get testy when asked. (I'm not taking a cheap shot at AS...I have 33 payware and 12 freeware planes from this great group.) Just asking.

    In the two years that I've worked on getting things, I've never given a 'testy' response. Can't speak for others on the team though.. lol.. If you don't ask directly you won't get an answer- nobody here is in a position to give a date.

    Never fear for I'm on the scene. Bottom line is though that no, there is no release date as of yet. It is not up to either art team nor anyone at AlphaSim at this moment in time.

    When it is known by the team and I, the public will know.

    Thanks all.

    There are a few more schemes that I will preview shortly. Three more German Islander's have been depicted at the request of the publisher.

    Just a quick note- I didn't mean for my above post to sound or be at all harsh.

    Stay happy everyone. :ernae:

    As I reread this post, I guess this was a cheap shot. What I tried as humor is just nasty. I should have just asked the question without the garbage. Sorry for that.

    Thanks for the information...looking forward to the Islander.

    Believe me...I have asked. Basically my answer was that they had no idea when it would be out. That's fine with me though because personally i would rather have them take longer and have fantastic plane than to rush it and produce something nobody likes.

    Any updates on the Islander's release? I'm interested in somehow getting a repaint done of it in Harbor Air (Washington State based)....colors...........That is, before the airline went out of biz.

    Thanks.

    Bad Marketing Amigo......It must be around 4 months, you or someone from the Islander development team (maybe a lonesome wolf) posted all kind of juice pics of the named subject which got pilots going up and down a tree or palm if in sunny places and saving some Mulaaa for it!!!!!......then Total silence as if someone died in Timbaktu..........Bad Marketing...I for one spend the Mulaaa I was saving for it.....downloaded 6 freeware ones, modified the panels, added better sound, re-painted some for an adventure in the Amazon and am comfortably carrying "Tukti Indian women from the shores of the Amazon to Rio ( made a deal with some jet jokeys from Rio so they can come to my home airport and take the girls to the Carnival)....and if I had not seen this post I had not remembered the "promised jewel" in two months at least.............Good luck when it comes out, maybe if it´s not to expensive, I´ll take my wife to dinner and beg her to let me buy it......maybe..........................Bad Marketing Dude Amigo...bad, bad.....don´t get under the rain!!!!!!

    Based on the preview screenies, this will be a must have for a pilot like me. Beautiful looking bird! Keep up the good job

    LOL - what does anyone expect from developers - release dates seem to slip all the time (where the hell did the Bird Dog go??!!) so I take them more as predictions than fact.

    I,ve asked this long time ago on alphasim site needless to it say didn,t make very popular,..again .,,Why even posting this preview shots when the release it,s not planned for months or years to come ? " I don,t see their point, teasing like that and than getting all sensitive about people asking about their slow progress. Surprise us with a good model when it,s ready,or very close to release date....Do you guys even remember they had a Jaguar in works for how many years now ??? You could probably make a real size one out of glued matches in that time frame.
