Where has this been stated by FD?
All latest updates can be found on the link at the bottom of my sig. It is maintained with all the latest info as we know it.
Thanks! But is it possible that for some reason that post doesn't appear in the "new post" list?
I queried Ashley from Support, as he said as far as he knows there's no other 2.0 release planned.
If you take Michael's announcement with straight face, it just says that "next alpha release". So it means 2.02 is followed by 3.0
I hope that all of you alpha backers won't forget to upload YouTube videos asap. Don't you love the internet, I sure do!

Since I'm feeling particularly neurotic this morning, I would just like to jump the gun to quote myself and say - neener neener neener, I told y'all so!

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Me either! As we used to say back in my Cessna piloting days, piloting is hours of boredom punctuated by a few minutes of sheer terror.
I remember one day, I was flying alone (not long after my first solo!) and it was just windy as all get out. The strip had a nasty crosswind over it and I must've done like 2 or 3 go-arounds. (Where you get close to landing but you have to call it off before touching down). I was a sweating, nervous wreck. I kept thinking "I'm never going to land this thing in one piece. I'm going to die up here! Run out of gas circling the airfield or make a crater on landing..."
But it worked out in the end.

Yeah but these monkeys were able to do it within a span of 30 days, so cookies should at least be given
Just watched some Cesna crosswind vids, well done. It truly does look sphincter-tightening.
Did made me think of a Billy Connolly sketch from a while back, talking about how a flight attendant's safety speech would be if it was truthful.

Maybe I'm being naive as I'm not in Alpha, but is each Alpha release a distinct entity? What's to rule out any problems from 2.02 being fixed in 3?
I've been expecting to be smeared over a space station for some time - that time is nearly here.
According to FD Alpha v3 will contain lots of fixes to problems raised in Alpha v2.2 as well as adding functionality. Alpha v2.0 contained the same scenarios as Alpha v1 with the addition of multi-player.
So the "Alphans" will likely be able to pew-pew for a while then scrape their battered vessel against a space station docking port.
No news yet on whether the fluffy dice will be included in outfitting!
T.j thank you for the information. If the rhythm is confirmed in practice, the gamma will be for the summer and the commercial version towards the end of the year, as recently planned. Excellent
I'm sure it's a deliberate incentive to get commercial multi-platform release out for September anniversary.
Beta 1- April, Beta 2- May.
Gamma June.
Total 3 month extra work than kickstarter plan.
(bonus prediction for Beta 2: 50,000 backers £2.75m raised.)
