{{FGCquote|1= As many people have noticed, the v3.6 release has been slightly delayed. The main reason is that too many key developers have been out of town for work or holiday this month. We are currently hoping for a mid-September release. We will post further updates once our release manager returns and we can regroup from all the end of the summer (northern hemisphere) :-) activities. Thank you, Curt.|2= {{cite web | url = http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/34407279/ | title = <nowiki>[Flightgear-devel] Release v3.6 update</nowiki> | author = <nowiki>Curtis Olson</nowiki> | date = Aug 26th, 2015 }}}} | {{FGCquote|1= As many people have noticed, the v3.6 release has been slightly delayed.
