Won't be available until the 6th Todd. There is still testing going on however, so the release could still be delayed if some huge issue is found - This is pretty unlikely at this stage.

Thanks Jabo I figured that out this morning on FB LOL

Very true.  If it's anything like previous launches the huge issues will be discovered after release.

We are committed to addressing any bugs identified after release.

Are the player commands to a.i. wingmen working now?  I'm pretty sure I saw an announcement by TFS a few weeks back that they'd got them working.

  I'll get Tobruk when it supports VR but I fired up my updated copy of Blitz this morning and as far as I can tell there is no change in the way these commands work....or rather, don't work?

I was a bit amazed to find they don't seem to have done anything with the game gui.  If there's one big thing that must put off new players it's this!
