dudeman17 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The year is coming to an end and things are looking good in the sky's of DCS. But I have got to thinking. off the top of my head we are expecting 5 major releases before the end of the year. 1: Spitfire. 2: P-40. 3: Viggen. 4: FA-18c. 5: DCS 2.5 release. (List subject to change.) That said I may have missed something and I am also aware "everything is subject to change." And "two weeks," however there are 11 Friday's left and a large quantity of potential Christmas mornings. Now I'm no expert but if I were ED I wouldn't release them all at the same time so what's going to happen? Are we going to get something every other week or will we get a flood near the last minute? Or maybe a case of two more weeks will kick in and releases will be punched back into 2017. So I guess for now I'll board the hype train and hope for the next news letter to be the big release.

Rangi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My guess is they will be released when they are ready, this year or next year, but not until they are ready. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X93355 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 From statements by ED and the Devs, it is highly likely. Amazing how quick the year has gone though, this time last year we were all waiting for 2.0 Going to be an expensive Christmas though InWin S Frame with Asus Z170 | i7-6700K @ 4.5 Water Cooled CPU and Graphics | 16GB DDR4 | GTX1070 | 240GB M.2 SSD | Warthog Hotas | MFG Crosswind | 40" Samsung 4K | CV1 | Replica MB Mk10 Ejection Seat with Gametrix 908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Expect to manage your expectations The year is coming to an end and things are looking good in the sky's of DCS. But I have got to thinking. off the top of my head we are expecting 5 major releases before the end of the year. 1: Spitfire. 2: P-40. 3: Viggen. 4: FA-18c. 5: DCS 2.5 release. (List subject to change. Hold your wings mate. :) I will be really satisfied if ED releases 2.5 and bug fix it before end of a year. F-18C was said that maybe it will be in a shape to release early access towards end of this year but I was also participating in A-10C early access... It was flying but it wasn't what it is now. So, they will release when it is ready. Quality over speed -- my expectations.

some1 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'd like to remind you that two years ago, we were also expecting DCS 2.0 before the end of the year. Turns out it was released a year later in an alpha stage ;) Same with other planes, P40 was already on pre sale a year ago (and expected to be released soon then). Spitfire went to "internal testing" 1,5 year ago. There was a time when LNS expected to have two modules and Tomcat beta available by the end of this year. So yeah, things take usually much longer than devs expect, don't pay much attention to the dates they mention occasionally. I will be very surprised if we get all the things you listed in the first post before 2017.

Buzzles Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Wishful thinking, the only one that looks likely is the Viggen. Based on past behaviour, we'd be seeing a lot more of the Spit and F/A-18 from ED if launch was imminent. ED tend to promote heavily about a month before pre-purchase, and pre-purchase is normally in effect for a good few weeks. Ergo, there's not really enough time left for ED's modules to fit with that pattern for a 2016 release. Edited October 21, 2016 by Buzzles Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

NeilWillis Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 A huge leap regarding the Viggen there too Buzzles? All we have seen is a video, without any concrete announcements. Just do the sensible thing everyone, and wait for announcements from those who actually know what they're talking about, and don't just making wild unsubstantiated comments based on nothing more than hearsay and dreams.

Buzzles Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) A huge leap regarding the Viggen there too Buzzles? All we have seen is a video, without any concrete announcements, Maybe. LNS have stated they plan to announce and then release "a few" weeks later, and their little trailer video seemed to hint something will happen next month. Plus, one of Cobra's recent updates a little while back indicated it was the final push in their crunch and that they're nearly done. It's why I said likely, and nothing more concrete. Also, for clarity, I'm not likely going to buy it, so I'm not projecting a bias based on a want. Edited October 21, 2016 by Buzzles Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
