All episodes of Turboprop Flight Simulator crashes so far
So far, there have been only 6 episodes in Turboprop Flight Simulator crashes. More episodes will come, but it will focus on the next TFS update. Grab something to eat and enjoy this video!
What and when is the next version of Turboprop Flight Simulator and the new features of the game?
Here's what the developer said in his latest community post:
It will be version 1.31. I won't be releasing 1.30.6 anymore, because this new update has a lot of new stuff which merit a new version number, rather than just being a sub-version of the previous one.
I'm hoping to finish it and release it before the end of August (unless something unexpected happens, like my computer crashing, the app stores introducing new rules that take a lot of time to deal with, unexpected health problems, etc...).
This update contains the following are the main features:
- 'Flare and Chaff Decoys' for the MC-400, E-42, and MC-130.
- 'Missiles Detector' for the MC-400, E-42, HC-130, and MC-130.
- 'Enemies' feature added in free-flight mode under the 'Systems & Features' category, which allows to configure and spawn up to four S.A.M. enemy batteries around the map.
- Explosions, fire and smoke effects when crashing or getting shot down by missiles.
- Two new Secrets regarding the Gunships development, which can be found with the 'Signal Detector' device.
- 'Contextual Shortcuts' UI block during gameplay, which dynamically shows buttons with relevant functions depending on the situation.
- 'Spring' season.
- Some miscellaneous changes and bug fixes.
Why it took so long?
Indecision, wrong estimates, and "feature creep":
The last update was at the end of November 2023, and I was hoping to release version 1.30.6 by January 2024. However, I haven't worked at all in the month of December 2023, then January 2024 came and I had nothing to show, so I started working at the visual effects and at the gunships for the secrets. But that took me a lot more time than I wanted and it got to around March 2024. When all that was ready, I thought it would be too thin and unimpressive of an update especially given the delay. So I decided to work some more and add the flares and chaffs feature. But what to do with them without a bunch of enemies? Therefore, I started making the enemies (which I need anyway for the Gunships Game Mode later on) thinking it would take me no more than maybe a month or a month and a half to finish them, so it would be ready by mid-May at the latest. That was a very bad underestimation, to say the least.
And that's how the update was delayed by nearly 8 months from when I intended to release it initially.
