Already in the Bag Mr Moe, make sure you email me your email address on our store.

The Panther will be the last release on our store before we start the contract with www.pcsimstore.com and all of our products will be exclusively available from there.

[hey_moe]

Why don't I just give you a credit card number and you can go from there.

Think of it as a new year prezzie

[Kiwikat]

Is the Bearcat 1.2 to follow?

[Deano]

giving a few days or so yes.

There will also be a paint addon as before with the release of the Panther. Details of the addon can be found here : http://www.vertigostudios.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?51-F9F-5-Panther-Addon-Paints

Hi Mr Boom.. yep :)

After the Panther though we're pushing the Carrier out.

[mal998]

drooling, drooling, drooling!

man, oh, man, can't wait for this beauty to be released.

[Kiwikat]

So does "imminent" mean "tonight"?

I think all developers should refrain from using non-specific time adjectives...

[dvj]

Really looking forward to this release. Please don't charge us $45, then 2 months later put it on sale for $5! Sorry folks, I feel a little burnt from the recent sales on late releases from some of the vendors like that IRIS A-10 which became an A-$5 rather quickly.

Yea that really pissed me off

Plus the DCS A-10C Pre-Order with Beta access came out a few days after...I like the Iris A-10A, but 'I think I want my money back'

Count me in on that!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jump::jump::jump:

Lets not turn this into a bitch thread over someone dropping down a price on their product. Deano has no control over what someone else does about their product. But if later on if he decides to drop the price that is really up to him. Deano has put enough freeware products for our enjoyment in the past nobody in the FS Community can say one word about cost.

[expat]

Looks wonderful. Paints are fabulous. Will be happy to pay fair market value for this one.

Well done Dean for the hard work - it shows.

I guess you just earned your free copy!

Are there any links anywhere? Previews? Anything?

[hey_moe]

It really has nothing to do with a free copy, it has something to with with respecting another member.

It was immiment, and If it fits I shall continue to do so. There was some hold-ups last night at 0200 so it will be finished off today.

Happy New Year to you also ;)

Don't worry dvj your safe with me. The devs that can afford the price drop like that must live in Castles :wiggle:

PS.. the Panther is set at $31.00 / £19.99 / € 23.50

Thanks. I watched the videos.

I guess this should be moved to the new Payware sub-forum?
(I'm getting confused with what should be where these days)

I do think it's good to be up front with mods getting free copies though, in the interest of impartiality etc.

Good luck with the release.

I don't know exactly what you mean to say, but in my view it's not positive at all. :icon_eek: I never had a free copy whatsoever, except for the freeware that's availabe to everyone. :crybaby:So what are you implying with impartiality???

:confused:

I wouldn't have thought so (could be wrong though :) ) as this was only a heads up really on her status. I'll be making a new post once she's released in the pay-ware forum.

Regarding the Free copy, I guess this all started out as a laugh between me and Moe I guess I should be more stern and bolshy (my bad) as it proceeded I thought what the hell.. I'll send him a free copy :)

Regarding Impartiality, I have nothing to gain from it and I don't think Moe has any power to increase sales any regardless how it may sound, I guess I'm to good natured for my own good.

The following statement isn't directed to or has any connection with anyone on these boards (Disclaimer ended)

Its even been known for me to help those who are less fortunate, some people are really in a bad way do to health problems cant afford the full price, ask me when theres a sale on and I knock them the price down allthough there is no sale. To have a customer with a smile on there face although having difficulties is priceless, why should some enjoy life more than the less fortunate.

[Aviator32]

It happens in all walks of life (just not often in public) Don't worry about it! :icon_lol:

I look forward to the release wherever the news is posted or moved to. I'm sure we'll find it.

And what is this supposed to mean? Look here mr Aviator32: you can't just insinuate these things and expect to get away with it by making such a flimsy remark.

[mal998]

Geez, why don't you guys save this OT discussion for another time and thread. Deano is simply trying to inform the public about the Panther release.

Why not just leave it at that.

[Kiwikat]

Are we there yet? :wavey:

[flaviossa]

I´m pressing f5 every 5 minutes in VStudios website. :icon_lol:
Thanks Deano!

[hammer353]

Hahaha, Mr moe your more of a tease than me. I like your style.

Just going through the Check lists now and simplifying the guides in the PDF

[Cag40Navy]

I can almost taste it now!

[bruce448]

I can almost taste it now!


That's Deans blood sweat and tears you can taste

Bruce

[Kiwikat]

Well I just finished ANOTHER one of those airplane puzzles... :isadizzy:

I hope she's coming s**n! :jump:

[Deano]

2 items remaining in the PDF, Spoilers and Flaps then she'll be uploaded.

[gradyhappyg]

Upload now PDF later.
Never read the manules till I've cracked er up a few times anyway.

[Deano]

when released...

with the interest looking high, please note that the servers may get a little sluggish :running:

[Kiwikat]

15 mins more then we're uploading.

Woot!

[flaviossa]

Deano,
if the download counter reaches the maximun number without a successful download can you look over us? I know you may be too tired to do this on release. If so, i might buy another day when things calm down .... :salute:

[Deano]

15 mins more then we're uploading the Panther, thanks for your understanding.

don't worry your in safe hands.

[Kiwikat]

The F5 machine has been restarted. Looks like it is real this time, its being uploaded and added to the store! :jump::jump::jump:

[Cag40Navy]

Were getting closer!!

[Akatsuki]

It's been a long time since i wished for a F9F in FSX... And the wait is almost over!

[Barfly]

RTW candidate for subsonic jet legs :)

[Kiwikat]

That must be an enormous file to upload. It's been down for almost 90 mins now... :isadizzy:

[flaviossa]

Okkkkkk ... tomorrow i buy it. Good night everybody! :salute:

[Akatsuki]

That must be an enormous file to upload. It's been down for almost 90 mins now... :isadizzy:
Either that or a last minute issue... Most probably the second guess.

[Kiwikat]

The store will not re-open until 1500 hrs tomorrow GMT Thank you for your patience.


Oh well... off to fly the DC-2 :wiggle:

[Deano]

Sorry guys the upload is taking a hell of a long time tonight, maybe with all the additional traffic.

The upload is fluctuating from 70 to 150 mins so I'm unable to put a time on it.

The time is now 0141 hrs GMT

Im going to have to cease release of the panther until 1500 GMT tomorrow.

Please accept my apologies.

As I said, looking forward to the release. It's not an issue of cost, it's an issue of discounted pricing shortly after a product introduction. Nuff said on the topic here. :salute:

[gradyhappyg]

Ok who started the nasty rumor that I was patient cause I'm not?
Nope not at all.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr........


1500 hrs tomorrow GMT Thank you for your patience.

[Kiwikat]

It was pretty anti-climactic I gotta say...

I'll still be buying the base pack and paints sometime tomorrow. :jump:

[crashaz]

Tommorrow we will all be doing the happy dance when we are shootin and trappin!

Really looking forward to what you are going to be doing with Big E.... I am going to be all over that ship looking around at details and features... for some more ideas to add to future carriers I have in mind.

B-25 hopefully is in the queue as well since we have Doolittle Raid anniversary coming in April.
We can work up scenery ahead of time if we know it's coming!!

Hmm... reminds me we will need a paint kit for BigE.... so we can have Yorktown and Hornet..... well as close an approximation to Hornet as she was much different then her sisters.

Landing in a Vertigo SBD-3 in prewar colors approaching deck with big YKTN letters approaching fast on the deck! Awesome!!:jump:


Til then I am going to be enjoying what there is in the Vertigo stables.... and that is a ton of sweet aircraft!
