    I followed this from the beginning and I was wondering if you have an idea when it will go into beta?

    Thank you, this will come in handy when I start work on the PBM-1.

    Well, I'm currently in Switzerland and the code remains unfinished, as does the cockpit, and I haven't even started work on textures. So I'm not setting any deadlines. It'll be released when those are ready. If that'll be before New Years or after it, I have no clue. I'm a procastinator.

    Well, the plane's weight is finally realistic, reversing system is also now properly set up, having some issues with how the plane handles in water, working on exporting the 3d model.

    Mate, this project hasn't been in any risk of dying since February. I flew to Arizona to take a look around inside the last PBM-5a just for this project. And also because I wanted to go inside it, but the former is the reason they let me in.
