[Updated] projectFLY Status Update – Patreon Launch and V4 Delays

projectFLY has posted on their Discord and on their Facebook page a long message regarding the current status of projectFLY. This press releases covers the projectFLY Focus Group, a projected timeline and the launch of a Patreon campaign.

projectFLY Focus Group

The projectFLY Focus Group is targeted at Flight Simulation intense flyers that will act as beta testers for the early releases of future projectFLY updates. The Focus Group members will be recruited through an application process that will go live at the same time as their Patreon Campaign. Only once the Focus Group will be gathered, the projectFLY team will turn back their attention to projectFLY V4. No further information on the application conditions have so far been stated.

The Focus Group process is expected to take from 4 to 6 weeks, which implies that the release of V4 is still much further away. 

Patreon Campaign

The major announcement of this release is without a doubt the launch of their Patreon Campaign. It is a secret to no one that projectFLY has often had difficulties with paying their bills, and has in the past been plagued by multiple server cutoff from hosts rendering the application unusable. With the launch of this Patreon, backers will be able to donate on a monthly basis to projectFLY starting £1 a month. It is unclear for now if Patreon will have any benefits compared to other regular members. Patreon is a platform that helps artists and creators get a monthly income set freely by people appreciating their work.

Update March 8th, 2020 2030Z : Focus Group registrations are now opened.
