In a recent press release on The Skypark portal, Edson Soriano, the managing director for The Skypark, has announced the pricing and release details for their new utility.
Two major modes will be available: The Skypark and The Skypark Online.
The Skypark will be released in the next 2-3 months via Orbx Direct. As Soriano points out, The Skypark has largely passed its initial release target of Summer 2019. The Skypark will first launch as an offline version. It will offer three initial features: Skypad, which is the interface, basic SkyBlogs, which is a sort of logbook and Skypad Adventure, where pilots will be able to get new flying assignments. It is to be noted that one of the key features, the Skypad Anywhere, which allows the user to connect to The Skypark with any device, will NOT be included. The Skypark will come at a flat fee of $30.
The Skypark Online will come next. This version is “commercial level cloud-based software as a service (SaaS)”. The Skypark Online will allow users to receive dynamically created content. No specifics have been released yet, and no launch date has been set. The Skypark Online will be accessible through a monthly $7 fee. This fee is lower than the $10 fee originally announced at FS Expo. A discounted yearly subscription will also be available. Customers of The Skypark will receive a free 2 months trial to the Skypark Online. Finally, it is worth mentionning that The Skypark Online subscribers will not need to buy The Skypark on top of their subscription.
The Skypark, in a funny move, has also recently announced a recreation of the Area 51 raid.
To conclude, simmers going to the Flight Sim Show 2019 in Cosford will be able to meet with Parallel42.
