Apologies if this has already been discussed, but the F-16 listing in the E-Shop shows no ETA as far as I can see. The button does say "PRE-PURCHASE", but there is no comment on when it will become available.

 

If this hasn't been done yet, I'll make a personal request: After the drama with the F-14, please put a date instead of a season. I don't really think you should have to and I know most of us can tell that Autumn ends on December 21 but, it might save some conflict later if you put a solid date now.

 

Just a thought.

They aren't going to give you a date.

 

No date is fine with me, but with the F-14 some people felt that “this Winter” wasn’t explicit enough...

They aim for early autumn.

I think maybe I wasn't clear...

 

I wasn't asking when it will be released. I'm just pointing out that the EA date has been omitted *from the E-Shop listing*. I don't think we've had a modern module up for pre-purchase without an ETA in my time here, so I thought I'd point that out in case it was a mistake.

 

The further suggestion I was making in the first post was that, if they are going to add an ETA, that they use a date instead of a season, eg 12/21/19 instead of "Autumn".

 

Personally, I don't mind when we get this bird, she will be worth the wait.

To me, early Autumn would mean at the very latest, before the mid-point of the season, which would be November 4. If you split Autumn into 4 quarters, the first quarter would end October 14. A release around then would make the most sense as being early Autumn.

I must admit, I hadn't registered the descriptor of "early" or "beginning of" before I posted this thread. I would agree that early Autumn means before the mid point of the season. Beyond that we get subjective (I would think first third because I think of it as 'early', 'mid' or 'late'), and that's before we tackle whether it's astronomical or meteorological Autumn.

 

I can definitely understand why ED might choose not to give ETAs anymore, but since they had mentioned 'early' or 'beginning of' Autumn in the newsletter I figured not having it in the E-Shop listing was an oversight rather than a choice.

We'll get it when it's ready, no use trying to get a date or wanting one. That will only set yourself up for disappointment.

Easy solution: Don't pre-purchase until a date is given. The discount will still be available up until release day pretty much so there's absolutely nothing lost by doing that.
