It will be exactly two weeks from the previous two weeks, continuing every two weeks or until the next version is released, whichever comes first.

Release dates are never announced.  The running and very old joke is that it's going to be in about two weeks (or 14 days, or a fortnight, etc.....)

My guess would be sometime soon.

Seriously.. maybe near Christmas??

 Finished, released at Christmas and the HTC crew goes off to a nice, long New Year's vacation??

 That'd be about in 3 weeks.

I doubt that Kweassa.  New releases usually have a few bugs that have to be squashed.  I dont see them releasing and then taking a few days off.  My guess is it would be a few days earlier so that they have time to squash the major bugs and then take a couple of days off.

My guess would be before the start of the upcoming scenario or two weeks, which ever comes first.

'Two weeks' is the canonical answer for when a programmer is asked when a close-to-release piece of software will be ready. You have to be aware, though, that the time period 'week' has about as much relationship to a calendar week as the 'Microsoft minute' (after the 'time to completion' when installing Windows) bears to a clock minute.

What Shiva said.

Back when I was young, foolish, and a code monkey anything I was working on was going to be done in two weeks.

Now that I'm old, foolish, and a packet monkey my official answer is "eventually".  Generally I modify that to "shortly after it's done".  

The upshot is 1.11 will be ready when it's released, and it will be released when it's ready.  It will include the changes that have been incorporated, but none of the changes that have not.  There is a finite chance any and all aircraft have been modeled in the new release, so there is also a finite chance any given aircraft has not.

If you think the _answer_ was dumb go re-read the question.

Mac minutes are much more mutable that Microsoft Minutes, and I just installed Mandrake 9.0 on the weekend and the Install Gui seems to have Mandrake Minutes installed by default (4:53 minutes to completion - 30 minutes later - done).

So the Major Manufacturers Minute Measurements Maintain Massively Mutable Meanderings Mired Mirthfully in the realms of fantasy.

Provided there is an "M" in their product's name somewhere.

They'll probably fix it in 2 weeks.

Not sure when, but considering the amount of time since last patch, I expect massive improvements in graphics, maps, stability, gameplay, etc.
