but but but... 99.9% sure of release before end of April. 

Sorry for the 0.01%
5 days later is not a big deal, though. Please remember that alpha1 will be an early alpha, in every area.

So piboso is may 5th the official date?

It is a good date, but not the official one 

5th of May.
That sounds like a good day to release.

Oculus Rift support is planned.
But first they have to release the final device.

I've downloaded the example track and tried to open the heightmap.raw in Photoshop. When I open it in Photoshop I get a weird looking heightmap in my opinion. Here is an example of what I get when I open it.

This is an example of a heightmap I'm used to.

The rest looks good. Thanks a lot!

It is a 16 bits heightmap.

So the alpha is free? I figured it would be like buy the full version and get access to the alpha. ..great news

The first alpha will only feature one bike and one track.
By purchasing a license you:
1) have access to multiplayer and modding
2) support development
3) have unlimited updates, including the "full" version

How much will the first release cost?

20 euro ( around 29 US$ ).

You don't just buy a software, but also support development.

Is that for the Alpha or for the first FULL release?

First release. Otherwise there would be no development to support.

How much will the first release cost?

20 euro ( around 29 US$ ).

You don't just buy a software, but also support development.

Is there going to be tire pressure adjustments? Different models of tire that offer different grip? (Perhaps done by modders)

Yes and yes.

Will the sounds in the preview videos be close to the final sounds, with the popping and brake squeal constantly?

Yes.

You recently mentioned adding an electric start system. Obviously that indicates the option of having a full manual clutch with stalling, as in gp-bikes. Is there going to be kick starting also, with an animation? If so, will it fire first kick?

There will be kick starting, too, but not in the first release.

Also, thought I'd ask, how confident/happy are you guys with the feeling of whips and scrubs? It was a real breakthrough when Mx simulator came out and had the most realistic whips of any game ever before. In the Mx game world, that is a big deal.

It's all work in progress.

How much will the first release cost? I suppose it will be a seperate game or will it also unlock GP Bikes and vice versa?

Separate.

I am watching ama supercross at the moment and got a pretty good question I guess.

Since there are tear-offs in the game, are we able to duck our head so we won't get as much dirt on our goggles i.e. not having to pull as much tear-offs?

This is not planned at the moment.
Please add it to the suggestions.

Are there things you can alter/change with the physics just with settings? Like adjust how fast the bike rolls side to side. Or changing the neutral postion of the rider on the bike, etc.

I guess what im asking is, will we be able to alter basic things without modding? More preference then a matter of better or worse.

No, it will not be possible.

Not sure if this has been asked..

Have you guys done any Supercross testing? Hopefully it will ride similar to MXS rather than the MVAs.

A supercross test hasn't been done yet, but is planned soon.

No FMX plans at the moment.
