TomCatMucDe Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The website says "this winter" and it doesn't say 2018. Do we have yet a new delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're leaving it ambiguous so as to not wade into a gigantic mountain of crap if something bad happens. The target is this year. I prefer to not crunch over christmas (again).

Belphe Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I am still in shock! The reveal was OUTSTANDING! I loved this bird all my life and knew what to expect but what I saw still surpassed my expectations... As to the release, Heatblur website states this module will become available "in winter". I'm probably wrong but it so happens that winter starts December 21st, the same day the Tomcat had it's first maiden flight in 1970. It is also a Friday... ;) Never say never, Baby!

Alicatt Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The federal fiscal year just started started on October 1st so "this year" could be anytime in FY '19 ending September 30th, 2019. I'm sorry but I just don't have any faith left in ED or any 3rd party developers to deliver a completed product in any kind of reasonable timeline anymore. Prove me wrong. Here the fiscal year starts January 1st, and in the UK the financial year starts 5th April :Shrug: I guess you takes your pick :) Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madbrood Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Honestly, I can't see it being released that close to Christmas - no launch goes without bugs that need to be crushed, and I doubt HB would want to either a) risk us having a potentially broken product over the holidays, or b) have staff on hand over the holidays to support in case of bugs. I reckon we'll get it by early-mid December, or it'll be January. i7-4770k | EVGA GTX 980 SC | 16GB DDR3 | TrackIR 5, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals DCS: F-16C, F/A-18C, F-14A/B, AV-8B, FC3, A-10C, Black Shark II, UH-1H, F-86F, MiG-21bis, Mirage 2000C, AJS-37, F-5E :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero.ger Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 We're leaving it ambiguous so as to not wade into a gigantic mountain of crap if something bad happens. uhm you could have made your big reaveal when the product was done instead of Some month early... then you could have placed it right on the shelf without any worry about "crap".

Dudikoff Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Guys, there's nothing necessarily toxic about that post unless you make it out to be. The guy is just posting his opinion which he has the right to. I'm sure HB can handle some differing opinions just fine, it comes with the job.

Tobi1304 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well, while the 21st December sounds like the logical date...did we ever had a module in per-sale for that long time?

I prefer to not crunch over christmas (again). Hmm. Well as hard as that is to hear, what will be, will be. Though it does make me wonder how incredibly far off you were to a no 'exceptions' 2017 release, considering it will now be over a year delay from that timeframe. I'm very excited to one day fly your Tomcat. Keep up the incredible work Cobra, please do what you feel is right over christmas and take time off if you need it!

I prefer to not crunch over christmas (again). Nor should you guys! As much as we all would love to have the F14... game devs for all different companies have to deal with this terrible crunch time all too often. I really hope ED and the 3rd party devs do all they can to prevent that horrible practice. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to not crunch over christmas (again). That is all I wanted to hear. No bad feelings here. I think most of us can already see the direction the Tomcat is going. It is very complex and awesome and that takes time. I pre-odered because I think you guys from Heatblur deserve our money at this point in time because the F-14 development must have been quite an expensive journey. Btw: Cobra, do those key links from Heatblur store already work when sync'ing them with our ED account? There was an issue yesterday so I'm just asking...
