Hello Captain,
It's been a wild few months of working on the Fox! Just as we started nearing a point where we were happy to start staging things up, SU15 beta started and took us for a wild ride. It also brought with it a slew of fresh features we could take advantage of, so it moved this product line out of STAGING for release and back into ACTIVE DEV status for a few more months.
Once SU15 dropped and became the production build, we started shifting into STAGING once again for a release. And then I received the following text message...
Turns out Trent added a smoke system! You heard it here first, and similar to how we did with the Beringer wheels, we've done in-sim before he makes it public with a video!
It should be noted that is EXACTLY why we never discuss release dates, only our team knows all the details of why the call is made to delay a release. Without a public statement, there is no set expectation other than "when it's ready".
Well, I'm happy to say IT'S READY! The changelog is significant, let's dive in.
