I have been saying that for months now, but there are no strong indicators to how close we are. No one here has no idea what the scope of work to be done for 2.5 is except for the ED staff. There seems to be some hints of internal testing going on though, but I don't know what to draw from that.

So true!

So Sith, tell us how much you are enjoying the new effects on your rig. Make us jealous! :P

I wonder how taxing smoke shadows would be on a system?

Not sure where to place this since there is no official 2.5 thread, but this seems to be a video of the WIP explosions. If this is the case I will say that the effects are coming along very nicely! :thumbup:

I think the expectations of "what's to come" is really setting us up for the weekly let downs if you see it that way. It's probably best to disengage from the boards a bit and avoid the hype. In fairness we do have the Su-33 to enjoy for a while.

Bundles & Sales....

And it will be released ASAP....

No! Don't do them! I can't stand the teasing anymore!..........well.......OK post them just this once. :)

I agree. Next post here should be a release announcement...:pilotfly:

An even greater sharing experience would be a ready to download version of 2.5!! :D

See there you go sneaking up on us again dropping peeks into the Caucasus map. It's looking pretty awesome sir and it looks ready to fly....:D

It seems like it is being delivered sir.

If it hasn't happened by now most likely not.

Funny responses guys! :D

ASAP Sith should have been in politics.

Agreed. You will always find some level of displeasure posted from to time. Can't really ever recall joy being expressed of having to wait for an open ended number of weeks. I will just say chalk it up as another lesson learned about expectations here. Keep them low so you won't get upset when you get news similar to this. And that's not to say this is bad news. It's just a missed curve ball.

My thoughts exactly...

So the ball is in ED's court. Although RAZBAM delivered on time it's really up to ED now.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Su-33 this month...correct? I did forget all about this though. Ok hype meter rising!:D EDIT: Sniped.

Where has it been stated that it will be released today? Otherwise hype reserved...:)

Gotcha Prowler. Standing by for the news and the purchase button when it's ready.

On schedule for a Q3 release, which means there are only 2 full weeks left. Not saying it's impossible, but when I look at how ED has done pre-release sales it makes me wonder if the playbook is now changing. Instead of waiting, painfully 1+ months for release the new trend will be a couple of weeks of tolerable waiting and no pre-release sale?

There was hype about a Q3 release though. Don't know what happened to that.... (no I am not new here. :P)
