the non existent communication is getting rather annoying

[NineLine]

Thanks buddy!! Go find Matt also and tell him to at least stop by and say hello to his fan base! ;)

 

Wags is very busy, and moderately scary to me... I'll stick with rattling Ilya's cage for now :)

 

And as for Wags and updates, as soon as he has something you guys need to see he will show it to you :)

Also if it makes you guys feel any better, I have been staring at German Microfilm for the past week ;)

One of these will help.

 

[NineLine]

Can you send that to me? Right now the receiver roll I am using is being held by a two year old, I was going to post a picture of my little one running around the house with some microfilm, but I didnt want to give Yo-Yo a heart attack :)

Please excuse me for being so blunt, but what kind of information is it exactly that you are looking at/for? I still remember those microfilm readers from the libraries at my university...

Basically anything related to the aircraft that they are creating. Sorry for being vague, but with the NDA, I dont know how detailed I can get.

 

Most major libraries have the microfilm readers.

Ah, I understand. I´m sure it´s an interesting read though. ;)

Well I'd be lying if I said I understood half of it... and thats not counting the fact that its all in German :) But yes, there is lots of interesting stuff for sure.

Would it kill luthier to give regular weekend updates like other professional developers?

There's only one way to tell. ;)

I am happy with his consistency on updates, at this stage of the process. I think the issue that bothers me, and others is that the updates dont always address the real burning questions, things that are past due based on the Kickstarter....

[NineLine]

Just an FYI, as I just deleted one, overly negative non constructive posts wont be tolerated. We can all address this like adults.

If the choices are between actual development work and weeked updates I'd prefer actual development still.. :D

 

Sure, it would be nice to hear about progress more regularly but something has to give when there is a lot to do.

 

Either way, I'll be happy with current update rate but even happier when we get to actually fly those planes ;)

[KaspeR32]

Not sure if this has been addressed or not, but one question I'd like answered/added is what happened to the SDK tools for terrain creation that was promised before the end of the year?

Ask him in a comment under the latest Project Update.

Considering EDGE has not been released yet I'm not surprised that tools aren't yet available either.. Especially if the new graphics engine needs/wants different map format or similar changes.

[NineLine]

Yes, the SDK is out of his control as far as I understand it... I wouldnt expect a public release version until after EDGE has been released, but that is my guess...

I understand you can give the direct adversary or mission role(s) of said aircraft you're studying without breaking NDA. :D

Everything I am looking at/for you know about if that helps ;)

For as early as they are in development, I think the frequency of the updates isn't bad, until they have at least one plane loaded and flying in DCS I think there isn't a ton to tell us for a weekly update. Biggest problem with the updates is just the lack of word on some of the issues that need to be addressed. Now if the updates are still this same frequency later in development, then I'd start to worry.

I see where you're coming from, but my main issue has to do with what they promised on the kickstarter campaign.

 

For example, SDK was said to be released by the end of the year so that we could have maps ready by the time DCS: WWII was released.

 

Now, I know some of the limitations with this comment. I realize EDGE wasn't even integrated in DCS: World at the time, and is still be integrated now. BUT I want to hear that form the guy who promised the SDK in the first place, not everyone else. I want to hear from the guy who promised constant communication, a social media manager, an SDK, etc etc, why those things have not been done or aren't happening.

 

Part of the reason I pledged was not because of DCS: WWII, but to get some more inside information on the progress of EDGE, and to help support Eagle Dynamics in general.

 

People don't stick to their promises, I guess with such a small market it seems to happen more here than anywhere else I've seen. Sure there are setbacks, but KNOWING that going in, means you don't promise what you can't deliver, it's as simple as that.

 

Hopefully the questions from this thread will get addressed at least. Thank you again for putting them together. :thumbup:

Well, I hate to break it to you, but if EDGE is the only reason you supported the kickstarter then you mis-fired. The SDK, while a nice little bonus, even if it would have only been a partial tool set (no exporter ability) was just that, a nice little bonus. The SDK is not in his control, at the time he was speaking on the timeline that Wags was speaking of as well, and that has changed as we all can see. ETA of EDGE is unknown right now, so the public version of the tools get be some ways off at this point.

 

While I am disappointed that many people have unanswered questions about many points of the KS, the SDK really isnt on him. it really come down to a delay in development. We cant hold him responsible for everything... its unfair to, no matter how upset you might be about this or that.

 

i dont blame anyone for the delay in the SDK, its just how it goes... it is what it is. Software Development.
