[Sticky] Delay Thread - Updated 24/10-2018

Dear Steffen and FT team,

This is just to ask you if there is any news regarding the production progress and if it would be possible to get an idea about the new shipping date for batch one.

Thank you very much.

Today it is holiday in Denmark and therefore i cannot get in contact with suppliers. However, i will have a meeting with the team and discuss our current time schedule tomorrow. I will make an official statement later in the evening, hope that helps =)

Thanks Steffen for your prompt answer.

Looking forward!! 🙂

Hi Guys

Steffen how was your day at the factory, any sign of the update?

Regards

JMB

Would be nice to have an update and some pictures as well ? 

Hi all!

I promised an update a few days ago, unfortunately i have not had the right information to make it. I have a meeting with the team tomorrow and i will send out a progress update once we are finished. In the meantime i have a some measurements of the foot mount for you!

Thanks for the update Steffen 

Happy also to see the final size and measure of the pedals plate

50 cm is quite a good size and there are definitely more pedals options with this measure.

still hoping to be able to mount the slaw device pedals that are 53 but I decided to wait for the RC to arrive and then I will see if a modification or something can be done to accommodate those pedals

If not, there are other pedals around 48 cm so 50 cm is definitely a good number

Will see but in the mean time thanks for letting us know

We are planning on making a custom flight frame for wide pedals, but it will take awhile before we can ship it due to the extended delivery time. We do not wish to delay any further.

The frame will be significant different as it will not have a steering wheel mount and it will be able to fit wider pedals  and a HOTS mount in the middle. 

I'm sorry for the lack of videos lately, however i have spend all my time assembling the electronics and we have not an assembled version due to the missing parts. I expect to have an opportunity to make some footage next week. I cross my fingers =)

Just some quick pictures of the powder coated parts, it really makes the finish look very good! I am very excited to deliver all the simulators, i would argue i am just as excited as all of you!

Thanks for the updates and pictures Steffen

you guys are doing an amazing job

I guess we all can’t wait but we will all patiently wait knowing you are going for maximum quality?

Keep your heads removed link You did a hell of a removed link I know this isn't easy, but as you overcome a lot more, this will pass as removed link

Grab a beer from me 😉

Haha can't get rid of the removed removed link It spells high, job and well in that particular removed link

Hey team, that's looking really good!! Great to see you guys are excited too!

Not entirely sure why your links is getting removed. How many posts have you posted? I'm sorry about the spam filter being very strict, i have encountered a fed bad apples. Once our new website is online it should be resolved. (Very talented people is on the case)

Thank you for the support everyone! It really means the world to us, we are taking the delay very seriously.

To make the wait a little less painful i have gotten some pictures from Tommy (the engineer) the pictures speak for themselves =) 

Compared to the prototype, this is a whole new product. Stronger actuators, better frame and easier seat, steering wheel and pedal adjustment. We are very excited to deliver it!
