:( They are really pushing it to June 2021 now????? Concerning a Rhino...yeah, it'd be nice but I want the current Hornet finished first.

What does this have to do with the Flogger??

The military aircraft mod team along with the guys making the AI Growler seem really talented and could probably help out if they were interested but ED really needs to chime in and confirm if they are open to this. ED obviously need the help but its up to them to clarify if they'll accept it.

Like all of them??? you've spoken to every Hornet pilot ever, wow...that's some undertaking!;) Regardless of how many pilots you've actually heard from, this is a product, one of the advertised features of said product is a ground radar, so it needs to be eventually delivered as advertised.

To you. ;)

Exactly. There are some very talented folks out there who are able to get it done if ED asked.

How was posting Wags list of hornet features not on topic for the hornet roadmap?

Exactly.

While the module itself is delayed until ??? is there any more info on the included new Kuznetsov aircraft carrier and Arleigh Burke destroyer? Some photos? What will actually be included? Is Combined Arms a requirement? etc....

This is doing nothing but moving the goal post. Now all of a sudden ED doesn't know what "feature complete" is :mad: It's when you deliver on all of the features you gleefully took customers money for. Whats next? Are all of the advertised features of these modules going to mysteriously get lost. I don't see how anyone could continue to defend this. Nice humble brag about donating to a charity, this doesn't excuse not being able to deliver to your customers in a timely fashion

Not surprised. We're barely 4 months into the year and the goal line for this module gets moved into the next year. I definitely will not be purchasing any more ED "Early Access" modules for the foreseeable future. The Hornet, Viper and Supercarrier have equated to "three strikes" with ED as far as I'm concerned. That aside, getting the systems completed should be higher priority than any additional weapons. So I guess we can also assume Kate was wrong again stating these system items would be complete in April too: Completion of the Litening Targeting Pod AG radar: Real Beam Ground Map (MAP) The update from Wags is appreciated but ED really needs to do better getting stuff actually completing the products they advertise. This delay after delay has gotten old.

I guess we'll find out in a month or two..or three if those those patch notes are true :dunno:

That can't be right can it, like legally?

Yeah, I think that's what most of our issue is. Getting ED to communicate in a timely manner is like pulling teeth. It shouldn't be this hard, especially when they know a delay has been decided on.

This is something that could be hired out to a third party(ies), especially with so many 3D modelers trapped at home for the foreseeable future with the current situation and could use the extra income. There is no absolutely no reason ED couldn't contract this out if they wanted it be done.

Bonzo has a point. If the patch is done and just being uploaded, what is so hard about sharing the patch notes. This is the same exact type of pointless vagueness that irritated folks with the SC module delay. If they know what is in the patch, which they should by now... Just share the info. Why is this still such a hard concept to grasp?

Well, at least we know HB F-14 compatibility should be ensured in single player with this extra time right?

Just an FYI, They delete any mention of other games around here, especially ones that are competently run.

They did a play test over the weekend supposedly, that means they knew by Monday, probably Sunday there were major show stopping issues. Instead of just saying that Monday, they try to misdirect all day Tuesday with "news soon" nonsense. They post up a list of goals that are equally as unlikely to be hit and we're just supposed to be like, "yep, we believe you'll meet these goals" .... its absolute foolishness.

Maybe its time for folks to stop investing in EA. ED clearly doesn't care about meeting any reasonable level of communication especially if they know folks are gonna continue to just throw money at a issue that hasn't changed after this long. Less than 24hrs away from a supposed release date and still not a confirmed word either here or there, but they had no issue taking those early access dollars. Businesses only listen when their pockets are impacted.

Where's a good dumpster fire gif when you need it....

Quit using Covid as an excuse for a company where the job can be conducted from home while there are literally hundreds of thousands of people doing essential roles that still have to go into the public to work like doctors, nurses, public works, law enforcement etc. :mad: ED had serious completion and communication issues well before this virus showed up. You are grasping at straws here!

An announcement about an announcement followed by another announcement of an announcement. You literally can't make this stuff up anymore :lol:

If you were honestly "happy" on how the Viper was released... there is probably nothing you wouldn't be "happy" about concerning ED. Even the staunchest of DCS fans could see that is not how to release a module, ED would never have cleared a 3rd party to release a module in that state. I don't have the Viggen, no desire to. I have the Tomcat and that was released in a heck of a lot better state than the Viper was. Was it perfect on release, no but at least it wasn't the garbage we got with the Viper on release.

Your first mistake was thinking I gave two craps about what you considered ignorant :lol: like seriously who are you :huh: TrueGrit can do whatever they want but the "take my money and give it to me now" crowd is going to be the death of this sim sooner than later.
