[sarcasm on] Ya, that's a big deal, because they always announce exact dates for new updates at least a month ahead of time! Well sometimes maybe only a couple of weeks ahead of time. [sarcasm off]. Or much more likely 5 days to a week ahead of time when WAGS releases a video on the new functionality. Why do people expect that ED is suddenly going to start announcing release dates way in advance when they never have before ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvine Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It would be suicide for any self-respecting developer not to have backward compatibility of something fundamental like this. On another note, will we have storm clouds, and their presets, when 2.7 comes out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the common thinking in regards to the new lighting engine and new trees. It took two years before old night missions started working like they used to. The trees still cause issues, even with official for-pay modules… So nah, unless and until they explicitly state that a compatibility mode is in, it is safe to assume that all old weather will break and that missions that use the older systems will no longer work as intended. 6 ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

Razorback Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Tomorrow, I hope to see a Newsletter with a more specific calendar and more clear announcements like : Release of the 2.7 version ? Release of Mariana Islands ? Release of the Mosquito (no news since a very very very long time) ? News regarding the CURRENT STATUS of the OH-58 Kiowa ? News on the Mi-24P development (what was done since begin of 21 and what should be the next step) ? For sure, it's a lot to ask, but it must be said that some of the topics mentioned above remain a great mystery to most of us...

Then the other improvements which are promised. Then those new modules. I recall hearing that ED has over 200 employers so all of those can't really be scattered to all around doing things if they can't even finish the earlier works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED has announced that some modules should be ready during Q1, others during Q2 and it's fine for me. I think that everybody can live with such information. But my point is, for exemple, that ED has annouced the release of the Mosquito before the Hind. We don't have any news on the mosquito since weeks. Same for the OH-58, we don't even have information on the current status of this module. Everybody know that the 2.7 is coming and is still currently expected in the coming days...as announced by ED. Is it still the reality or can we expect a delay as it is the case for the AH-64 Apache pre-order ? Thats' just simple questions on which ED can give simple answers...

bart Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Great newsletter this week. Nice to finally see some news on the Mosquito, and I for one like the list of available weapons and implemented systems for early access. I would like to know more about the "historical accurate navigation system for WWII aircraft" though. The implementation of the "Controllable AI navigator and radio operator" looks like an interesting addition too. Only downside was a lack of information on any release timeline or date for early access. This would have been nice to have, even if it was a rough time scale. 2 System :- i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12 core, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz, 24GB Asus ROG Strix Geforce RTX 3090, 1x 500GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, 1x 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, Corsair 1000W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU, Windows 10.
