F-14 Release Date Discussion Thread

Your local weather notwithstanding, the first day of winter is the 21st of December (in the Northern hemisphere).

Which is shortly after the exact time and date that I was born. :D

Boy, the Tomcat releasing on the 21st would, hypothetically, be one hell of a birthday present. Happy early birthday, btw!!

Thanks, but, at my age (60 this year), waking up is a great birthday present. :D

 

My dogs will wake me up and remind me that no matter my age, they come first.

Actually...

"In Finland and Sweden, the dates of the seasons are not based on the calendar at all, but on temperatures. Here, spring officially begins when the average temperature rises above 0 °C (32 °F). This means that the seasons within each county start and end on different dates, depending on the regions and their climate."

https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/aboutseasons.html

It's the same with fall. Spring and fall here in Sweden last between average (over a couple of days) 0 °C (32 °F)° and average 10 °C (50 °F). Average above is summer, below winter.

So technically we are both right (I actually didn't know about that other starange and illogical definition before, obviously you all have to adopt to us and the Finns!). But again, the average Heatblur team member is a Swede, no matter the position of the earth around the sun, or temperature ;-)

...

It feels really strange to think we are still having fall, looking out the window...

 

 

...and happy birthday in advance, by the way :-)

Heatblur explained the status of the RIO cockpit in their dev update:

RIO Cockpit: We’re still working finishing integration of the new RIO cockpit into the main branch of the F-14. Art production on this level is unfortunately a time-intensive and arduous task. Of course, we’ve developed all of the functions of the RIO cockpit by using our old Chromecat placeholders, so this is almost entirely a visual and art production item.

I say: Suprinsingly Hackerman will join the Heatblur Team, they travel to the future, copy the code of the fully completed Tomcat, and next week will start with a big sensation.:D

Curious, how is the 21st still even remotely a realistic release date to people? I don't understand how people still think they're going to release it on the 21st despite all the light HB have shed on how far away they are.

21st was the date of the F-14's first test flight. That's why people think it correlated to a December release, which was the community's fault for getting hyped up on, not the developers.

Just saw the Video, first I was blown away by the sound...until I read the describtion....now I wonder what the sounds will be like on the release/polished Version.

 

I think that its dangerous to enhance sounds, especially on those highly anticipated Modules. The actual result might piss off people who expect the original to be exact the same like the enhanced.

You mean the people too dumb or lazy to read the disclaimer?

 

Don’t see why devs should be concerned about them.

I know why people are hyped over the 21st, that wasn't what I was asking. Nor did I blame HB for the hype around it. I was curious to why people still think, post december update, that they're still going to release it on the 21st. Despite all the evidence pointing towards a 2019 release.

Cool down the hypetrain go in to snow or drink cold lemon haha

It‘s funny because on the original video with one external view the disclaimer has been added after tens of thousands of people have already seen the video, many of whom have been praising the audio.

I'd like to submit this as evidence that whiners are by no means the only ones responsible for forum toxicity.

Denied, based on council's conflict of interest.

 

New motion proposed: whatever your view, don't be an arse :D

Is there a tool that lets you see the number of views a video gets within a specific timeframe? I worked out a way to narrow down the length of time before the comment from Cobra847 about the enhanced audio, but if there’s no way to tell how many watched it when it doesn’t answer the question.

Despite all the evidence pointing towards a 2019 release.

 

A wise man once said it best, "Evidence Shmidence"

Never forget that! ;)

[BigBadVuk]

Can we get at least manual?

Hmm, the wise man once truly said; a fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. Seems like the 21st won't be the day after all. This is all in good fun, I wanted it just as much as the next man/women, but I'm also a foolish realist and know 2019 will be the year of the Tomcat. :thumbup:
