It is no secret that many people were wishing to get their hands on Leonardo’s upcoming MD80, as previously announced for a release at the end of January, but Leonardo have provided an update as to why they missed their deadline.
In a short post on Facebook, Leonardo explained what has delayed their upcoming MD80 from being released.
They started off the post explaining that the release shouldn’t be so distant in the future, but they’ll only communicate a release date when they’re 100% sure on a date.
Next up, they shared an insight into the current status of the liveries and the paintkit. They are still waiting for Trino, the person in charge of making the liveries and the paintkit, to finish his work after he recovers. His work consists of delivering the expected 6 liveries as well as the paintkit.
As a closing statement, they acknowledge that this is not what you may like to hear, but it reflects the current situation, and they want to be as clear as possible.
That was all that was said for now but while you wait for more information, why not check out some of our exclusive beta footage or feast your eyes on some of our exclusive screenshots!
