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

Thank you! We hope you all like the new design on the website =)

The VAT is automated on the new site, meaning that VAT has been added as i'm located in the EU. However, once we open up for sales again the price will increase a bit. 

VAT is still not included if you live outside of EU, however we will introduce re-sellers and therefore local VAT within the next few months. If you already bought the simulator, nothing will change for you. And you got it at a special pre-order price!

I'm getting more excited by the day 🙂

Shut up Mav ? 

i cant stop checking for the next update  ? 

Hehehe...you are not the only one!!!??

Hi all,

Sorry to say...but again another delay... I have just got an email from  FT support team, and I have been notified that the new delay, if I'm lucky, gets my delivery date allocated around the end of June/ beginning of July unofficially.....

A little bit disappointed to be honest, as my order took place on 14th January (First batch).

Good luck to the rest members.

Same here. 

Ordered 18 Jan.

Yes that is unfortunately true, we are experiencing further delays due to the mentioned reasons. As this is a reality for some of the first orders we have had we have still sent out some units and the production is still running. 
The recent delay is due to the production process is way more time consuming than expected and we have been looking for people for the past month, unfortunately it is hard to find skilled workers. We have now found a solid team and i am currently waiting on our project manager to make a time schedule that will hold (My estimates didn't). 

I am aware, and completely understand that you are all quite disappointed (We are too) but one of the errors we have had was thinking we could handle this alone. 

I hope for your continuous trust in us and the project. As i have said before: no matter the cost, we are going to deliver. And we hope for the mentioned time schedule to stand. As soon as i get something from our project manager i will let you know.  

Order date is Dec 19. Delivery is estimated for end of may. So not too bad compared to some others.

I expect that the dissapointment will vannish instantly with the delivery of the actual product. This is just how startups and kickstarters work. The task at hand is just way too complex to maintain the initial promises. I can only respect the ongoing commitment of the team. Will wait patiently.

Much appreciated mav and you are quite right. It is a very complex process to start a production line from scratch and it has overwhelmed us time wise. In the end, we owe it all to you who supports us during this stressful start up and we will never forget that. We will continue working every day in the week until we have shipped every order.

Hi FT team, 

Any news regarding delivery dates or new delays....??

Regards!

Yes, Steffen has kindly told me that mine will be shipped today (29th) and so I too am holding my breath for a delivery before the removed link But the struggles we have had are minor compared to the stresses that these guys must have had in the last 6 months since we removed link I think they have done very well and I cannot WAIT to get my hands on mine!
