Lithion Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I don't remember who of the half dozen of Youtubers with a pre release copy it was but one of them advertised he is doing a livestream with Wags this Weekend so I wouldn't expect a release before :music_whistling: That would be Crash Laobi channel here.

=Panther= Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Panther mi lady...long time, I still recall flying the DCS Hawg with you with the old 25/1st vfw years ago. I trust all is well.

Omega3 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm beginning to think ED is really a secret gov agency experimenting with different torture techniques involving unknown, yet tantalizingly close release dates. :lol: Shhh, tell noone else.

Phantom453 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 That would be Crash Laobi channel here. Crash Laobi is a very funny guy but will probably be on his best behavior for any live stream with Wags (hopefully not though). Regarding the release, my bet is on an official announcement this Friday/ weekend for release of the Hornet on Wednesday 23 May, followed by release of the Persian Gulf map on Wednesday 30 May. Rationale: A Wednesday release for both ensures the maximum number of ED staff are on deck to address immediate issues during both release events. A week between the two releases will allow ED time to conduct any immediate critical bug fixes to the Hornet first, without any complications cased by the map release. Allows time between the two release events when ED's servers are going to get hammered. Hornet will release first because it is the smaller download compared to the map release, but a more complex bit of software. Aligns with ED's announcement that both the Hornet and Persian Gulf map will be released in May. Just my speculation of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithion Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Regarding the release... People looking for the Friday release forget why ED is always trying to get on the Wednesday releases. Any other coder/developer can back me on this: NEVER release things on Friday.. :D It means that when things inevitably fall apart, you're working double overtime through the weekend.. :D Though.. to be fair, knowing gaming devs, they're probably already doing weekends this final sprint. Is it too soon to start thanking them for all of their hard work and putting up with us on the forum? :music_whistling: T.16000m HOTAS + Pedals || TrackIR5 || Win10 64bit || 120+500GB SSD, 1TB HDD || i5 4440 @3.3GHz || 16GB RAM @ 1600MHz || GTX1070 G1 || FCIII, L39ZA, AJS-37, Normandy '44, Persian Gulf, Channel F/A-18C, Bf-109 K-4, WW2 Asset Pack, CA, P-47, F-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyholebud Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 meh.. I guess pre-purchase doesn't mean early access. Missed that. Oh by the way, Media copies are all well and good, but whole VFS. Ya not cool. Oh well At least I got the F-18 at a regular Price and not an imaginary 80.00 pre-purchase special (sic) 20 off. lol. Just to make people think they got a deal, but in reality, they do that to make people buy it.

crab Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 I sure don't see anything show stopping going on in any of the videos and it clearly flies now. Wags announced immediately after his return from Moscow they were on time and I don't think that announcement comes so close to it actually being launch time if they weren't ready. I'd guess a more likely scenario is the "one more thing before" factor is in effect and we will wait a little closer to the drop dead date because of it. I'm thinking early to mid next week for our aircraft and early to mid week during the following week for the map for the reasons stated above by Lithion.

Timotsuky Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 They're making us wait, this is worst than torture itself, ED gave media access to stupid guy, i'll not give the name, but for what ? Flying with folded wings ? This is what media access is meant to be ? I mean we are all here passioned by this module, ready to learn it from A to Z, what do we have for the moment ? Stupid peoples on youtube doing stupid things.. BTW i can understand that the module isn't finished. But i think this press release was a stupid thing !

Repth Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 As far as I understood it was only two of them but, they have a viewer base and any press is good press.

Once again, the folded wings flight was a request from THEIR followers.. It appears You're constantly bitching and moaning because you didn't get access to the early release press release of the F18 and Persian Gulf map, perhaps if you were a prominent youtuber, you too might have had the privilege of being invited to showcase the new modules ? Sour grapes are in abundances towards many of those press release candidates, it's petty and even more irritating than slamming their video's. Have some dignity and patience, and accept that like 99% of those of us who also purchased these addons, are ALL in the same boat, and will await the official press release from ED, there's no point in slamming people who were invited by ED to showcase their product for simply having some fun.

His videos are super cringy. I will say that i agree with you, there are people like myself that are actually passionate about the aircraft and want to learn but lose out to the morons who don't value the knowledge.

Oban Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Such folks, if they exist should be ignored. They've existed in every other module, why would they skip this one?? :megalol: It's not much difference to whining about who was lucky enough to be chosen by ED to showcase their products, let them have their fun, it doesn't all have to be serious. It's an alpha product, so things will be constantly evolving, things will be fixed, things will get broken when being fixed, people will whine about the need for a ferrari GPU to showcase the product in all its glory.. it's just human nature unfortunately AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD RTX 4070 8GB Windows 11 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
