I have a couple of questions about the new release of Orbiter.

1. Will addons that work with Patch P1 be compatible with the new release?

2. When will the new release be put out???
 
1. Yes, no, sometimes, never, always.
2. Tuesday.

Seriously, the release date is not fixed, and add-on compatibility is a bit vague. The baseline setting should work with a lot of them, maybe excluding some planet add-ons, but the new graphics systems will not work with a lot of stuff properly.
 
If an addon dosen't work with the up-coming 2008 version, chances are that all the addon developer will have to do is re-compile the addon, a process which might only take a few miniutes (I think, I don't actualy know, though my programming experince leads me to think that). So the most popular addons will be made compatible within a few weeks, if not days, if not hours. On top of that, there's a public beta of the new version, so developers will be able to check their addons in a sort of pre-emptive strike. And remember, no-one's going to force anyone to update.
