Yep. You will get your understanding of how things will transition depending on what version you have locally.

With the impromptu stream and tease with no voice from Matty Nice and Sith chiming in on info for release versions coming soon. I want to believe we are looking at a Friday release...:music_whistling:

We are now on the down side of January so it can happen any day now. :)

My thoughts exactly. I don't recall a pre-purchase period lasting this long. Still a ways to go.

Well said NeilWillie! :thumbup:

Going for a totally fresh install? It was advised to keep the other versions around as 2.2 will pull files that are already local on your system to cut down the download time.

Dare to add a poll and see what happens to those numbers?

We can only hope, but we'll get there soon enough.

Wasn't really expecting any update while our ED friends are on a well deserved break.

WWII in a sense is used to support the development of the modern and legacy jet fighters of DCS. It's not going anywhere but up! https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196539

Indeed it does! I would love to see some updates to show the current facilities and see some discussions from Chizh and Yo-Yo!

Wow an update to the update! This takes the guess work out of it, 2.5 will go public day one!

I can understand that. I assume Matt or Sith will come in and clean up any confusion.

My bad Art-J I should have said 2.5 OB at the end. My understanding is 1.5.8 will remain the public released version until 2.5 OB goes public like they have been doing with the 1.5.x versions.

1.5.8 public version will remain the latest stable release. EDIT: 1.5.8 OB will be able to go to 2.5 OB or do a completely new install for 2.5OB 2.2 OA will go away

All available maps will be playable through 2.5. That felt like an attempt to pry some info on timing for the Hormuz map. Matt handled it like a presidential news conference! :lol:

Thanks for the insight Matt. Although it's slightly disappointing the display of updating the community on the happenings carries tremendous weight. Thanks to you and the staff and have a Merry Christmas.

How can it not be. Was looking forward to the new Caucasus during the holiday downtime. Just trying to remind myself of what we do have currently though.

Yep. Definitely coal. Just found this.... No.

Hmmmm the lack of 2.5 news in the Friday newsletter makes me wonder if we'll have our stockings stuffed with coal for Christmas this year. :D

If I am understanding your question my guess is they are trying to honor the kickstarter deliverable. Without really knowing along the way they would hit a few snags in necessary information. Maybe I am not fully understanding you Cich.

Then I would question the modeling quality if that is the case.

Sorry sir that phrase has already been taken for this thread. :P

Agreed about this being a legit thread. After the Magnitude 3 (LNS) fumble with their CE2 announcement and severe roasting, I have to say this is a very gutsy move or poor attempt of humor. And for the record...NO!
