"For the past 5 years, we’ve had a convention every year in the late summer/fall. We’re making an exception this year by pushing back the con about 6 months to early spring next year. We want to do this for a few reasons, but the primary one is that a con in that time-frame would be too much of a conflict with ToD as far as our resources are concerned. We also feel that by delaying the con, we can see greater attendance from ToD enthusisasts. We hope that the delay is not too disappointing, but we think it will make for a much bigger and better convention in the end. "


thats basicly given us a timeframe for the release, without actually stating it right out.


HURRAH!

ToD is Tour of Duty

a new version of AH comming out. it is sketchy from this recent news, but in the past the plan was a role based sim. you will go through flight school, training, all that, then fly in actual missions. if you get shot down you are down, and possibly reduced in rank.

get killed too many times and you have to start all over in tarining.

you will be either axis or allied, and the missions will be somewhat historical types.

basically no "free flying" and you take off only at designated times and all that.

that's pretty much the "gist" of it. and yes the MA will still be there, this will be a whole new game alltogether.

I liked the part about spinning off new variants from the P51 and P47.  Some folks might just be getting some wishes filled this time around.  I dont fly either one that much, but it bodes well for future updates if it goes right.

Thanks for the update Pyro, and thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing HTC.

Did anyone else catch the idea that the Con will be pushed back 6 months, with one reason being HTC thinks a greater number of ToD enthusisasts may attend? Is this a hint that ToD may be done before then? :)

lol!

believe me P-51s and P-47s gaps are already filled. That goes for the P-38 too.

imo 109s remake should come after they remake P-47s/P-51s (i think they should add Bf-109G-14)

i also think they need to add at least one more spitfire like Marks VII or VIII
