Christmas in July continues with more good news for us flight simmers! First, CoolSky announced the imminent release of the Super 80 Pro. Now I just discovered that Wilco Publishing has officially announced that the download edition of the E-Jets PIC add-on will be available in July.
Pricing structure for this one introduces a new wrinkle. There will be a "base pack" containing the standard 3 aircraft (E-170, E-190, and Lineage 1000 CJ) with 22 liveries. In addition, McPhat Studios has created an additional 53 liveries in a separate, optional "airline pack." For the customers who want it all, you can get both as a "deluxe pack" for a discount. I am probably enough of a sucker that I will shell out for the whole enchilada.
I wonder if this will be the start of a new trend in flight sims. Most payware add-on providers are happy to throw in a whole bunch of liveries along with the product at no extra charge. Charging more for liveries seems to be a new thing, though. Will it catch on? Who knows. I suspect lots of talented amateur artists will probably contribute even more free liveries over at AVSIM.
This is shaping up to be a bad month for the breweries here in Oregon. Kiss all my beer money good-bye until August!

Let's hope it will not be a trend. If it were up to me, the liveries would have been included in the 'base' package (so releasing just one package, instead of two). But we don't get to decide that as Texture Artists... The publisher does.
