rattler Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 As we all know lockon v1.0 was a rush to Market with lots of problem. ED did patch up to v1.02. My question, why could'nt ED add the fixes they did in FC to Lockon Original, I do not mean add A/C but the scenery fixes FPS fixes etc. same with any fixes made in BS. They have oviously fixed some problems with the original version why not patches to the original. Again I am not saying give us the new flyable A/C, just the fixes to parts of the original. Am I off base on this or would you consider this a reasonable question. Yes I know Ubisoft was the problem in the begining but ED have made fixes to original problems to some degree and why not continue to put patches to Lockon original version. The work is done. They would still sell FC and BS because some people want those A/C in their lockon simming. What about the people who bought Lockon right from the start. Yes you will say Ubisoft problem. All I am saying is ED made fixes why not put them out?
TekaTeka Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 ED have to do re-programing and beta-testing etc. Who will pay for it? TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.
Woodstock Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 All I am saying is ED made fixes why not put them out? Because they deserve every penny of the price for 1.1, no matter if you are willing to pay for the new aircraft or for any other fix. They got punked by Ubi, they took the blow and continued anyway. They deserve your money for every line of code and for every hour of work they did after patch 1.02. IMHO "For aviators like us, the sky is not the limit - it's our home!"
SuperKungFu Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 IMHO, that's not really a reasonable question. Because 1.1 was an addon, so we expect it to improve some more things aside from adding just the Su-25T. Giving all their hard work (aside from the Su-25T) to the original would be a waste because then that will lower their sales. And ED is already a small company, if they give out anything more they wont have the funds to continue. Btw...its 1.02 patch not 1.2. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bendak Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Dude, i live in Brazil where US$ is twice more valuable than my currency, and i don't consider US$ 14,95 a fair price for the Work ED have been doing after what UBI did to them, it's a chep price and its worth to bought that expansion even if you dont like the plane that came with it.

All I am saying is ED made fixes why not put them out? More spaces helps readability ;) All of the above, and a further, more practical reason: ED did make fixes, but they made them to the very same code that they added new features to. It's very, very difficult to separate that out - simple file edits don't work, someone will find a way around it and get the new features for free. Which is unfair - they add something new, you pay for it. Put simply, they don't have the resources to set one mini-team working to bugfix pre-FC versions as well as developing further features and fixes from that point. It has to be rolled up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
3Sqn_Fudd Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I would buy this game if it cost much more than what I payed for it... I know that desnt really answer your question but my statement is tied into it and other responses. http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
Disso Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 What about the people who bought Lockon right from the start. Yes you will say Ubisoft problem. All I am saying is ED made fixes why not put them out? ED didint already know about those bugs, or at least didn't create fixes for them yet, when each respective version was released! It seems like you think that they had made all these bug fixes and improvements since day 1, the day LOMAC v1.00 was released, and that they simply withheld all these patches so that they could be released later on to be bundled with other expansions, so that we would have to PAY for it. That is completely untrue and unreasonable. I mean what kind of mentality is that? By doing that, they simply would be degrading their own product when it's reputation most matters; at it's initial release. This is where the public get's its overall impression of the game, which sticks with the most of the way down the road, ED and team wouldn't leave out bug fixes just so that they could purposely release them later on for money. Please. SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.
