The problem with F5-keys made of metals is that they eat whole keyboards, and the expense is thus higher. Also, they make the wear on fingers and stumps higher. A slightly soft plastic is the best, I’m thinking.
You have to use a thimble when using the metal F5 keys. Makes one hell of a racket.

Hahaha! It’ll probably cause all kinds of fires. I have a burning desire for a Bonanza release now! :)

I will send some fire extinguishers your way Erik 8) Aside from the F5 keys, the pixels on my phones screen are getting weak and there is a worn spot on the glass from checking in on the Bo from work :shock:

Maybe, just maybe she will arrive soonish? :D

With the Bonanza in beta for over a week, aaaand the sudden announcement that A2A will be at FlightsimExpo, I think there is a good chance the product video will be showed there, followed by the manual and, by Dog, the Bonanza.

Keeping those F5-buttons flowing.

As much as I wish you were right Erik I’m afraid that’s not going to happen. I just looked at the FlightSimExpo website and A2A is neither on the exhibitor listing nor are they listed in the event schedule. So unless Scott pulled some secret stunt I don’t think we’ll get the Bonanza video next weekend. I’m still hoping I’m majorly wrong here of course :wink:

My thinking is that it should be around FlightsimCon which will make it June 23 & 24. But like you, I wish it could be sooner. :)


Cheers,

Yes I think end of June is much more realistic. Especially considering Scott’s last update with the info that a new Beta build was released this weekend. Only time will tell I gues...

The Constellation was supposed to be released summer 2016 IIRC, actual release was Christmas same year. So, yeah, we'll see.
Cheers!/Andreas
