That at about 20 posts a year you might not be the best source for what the community experience is. 

Many people come here for actual information, and end up with you and your misery!

That Beirut is a waste of everybody's time and is just selfish..is this experience you are talking about?

Razbam reputation will be made or destroyed on the quality of the product at release. Honestly this pre-ordering "business" is not going live long in anyone's memory if the thing works as expected.

Breathe, Brother Pipe.

 

Breathe.

One more thingy, ED does not make the Sinai Map, which I never say it were in the first place. In case it was not aware of, ED has the final say of all DCS products, as they all sell through ED’s site, with QA control, etc.

I fully get that we all want this module, but maybe your understanding of preorder (with no actual date given) is flawed. Preorder is a promise to supply a good or service when it becomes available, right now it is not. If you feel you have been wronged ask for a refund. The devs will release it when they believe it to be ready. In the mean time fly what you have all the modules are great! Or get out of the house and enjoy your life….

 

I had reasonable expectation of delays based on previous experiences. we have exceeded that.  especially now that youtubers are playing around with it.

oh and btw, I do and say whatever I want. You do you, and im glad YOU are happy with the current situation.-

Although I'm not having any trouble waiting for the Mudhen (currently life won't really allow me to play DCS much anyways), it somehow still does pain me a bit to see YT videos from content creators that, judging by their videos, obviously didn't even take the time to watch the preview instruction videos from Notso...

Admittedly, those particular content creators might attract potential buyers with a different playstyle than me.

Well, I guess I should work harder on my YTube channel, or join a big one, if I ever want to get some preview perks.

I guess Mud Hen is not Sinai or Mirage F1. And the pre-order thingy makes some interesting reaction. Everyone feels thing differently.

BTW, I think all sale are final here, ED has no refund policy...shame...

What I got was, if there is a vid from the YTubers of a preview product, the product should be ready for release…

One buyer finds it okay does not mean other buyers do, let alone ED and any developers who have a “reputation” to consider…

Disclaimer: I agree another poster says such videos may do as much harm as good.

 

Meanwhile do you dont see a Wags F-15E video or a official news about a release by ED, None has talk about a "release".

Wait, why would Wags do videos about the F-15E?  It's from Razbam, not ED and as such Notso is doing the videos.

Oh, well, I was quoting somebody else's thought, when there is a preview video made by some YTuber, then it must be ready. Of course it is not true, as it never happened this way! I am cool to wait to be clear.

Well, it's coming this Wednesday/Thursday so little time left to suffer.

*Source*: None, My intuition given known material, and the release to content creators. I expect a cold start video from RB probably Monday/Tuesday.

Damn it man it's TWO WEEKS, It's ALWAY TWO WEEKS  UNTIL THE END OF TIME!

However (whispering) I think you may be close. 

[Jackjack171]

Is this a complaint discussion, or a WIP discussion? Has anyone ever thought that RB sent this to the YT content creators for sales purposes? If they release it as is, the bug complaints would fly all over the place. Clearly, it's not ready! The adolescent complaining here is wild!

Happens every time they don't get their instant gratification bone stroked, sucks a bit because you have to skim over all the whining just to try and find some real info.

Hi, I had a question on the RWR if anyone knows about it. In the videos on YT there isn't an indication about where an incoming missile is coming from, like in the hornet.

My guess is the the HSI wouldn't display it anyway. 

Is it that the RWR is just not modelled yet, or is the F15 just a different beast when it comes to displaying missile warnings?

May be the wrong thread, despite what the title says. This is the dump on devs thread!

I do hope you find your answer though

As I understand it the TEWS page is the sort of 'RWR', and functions as a dedicated directional situational awareness display. You still get a couple of red lights and tones when you're tracked or launched on though.

Guys, I get it. Every time our content creators get a chance to show you want you are getting it makes the wait that much harder. I love and fear the preview phase because I know what the wait is like. That said, this is yet another step in the road to release, it's pretty much like this for each and every module. I know that not all modules do pre-sales so when they do it makes this a little more painful but it is part of the process. 

We hope these previews will show you how hard RAZBAM has been working to make sure you have a solid module on day 1 of the release. They are still tuning and tweaking even beyond the preview build. Our Closed Beta Testers are going to be diving into it soon, which means it will be in Closed Beta Testing soon, which means an Open Beta Release Candidate. We are not far off now, aside from any bumps pinned down by Testers and even previewers. 

I know it's been a long hard waiting, but we are almost there, don't beat up the lucky few content creators that managed to win the SE lotto, and don't beat up each other for your own feelings on it. It's gonna be worth the wait, and all this will be a distant memory soon enough.

Thanks, and we appreciate your passion and patience, even those with very little patience left

2 weeks left also...

jokes apart..thx for the infos...I think that is impossible say when..but, at this point, I think that is kindly possible to indicate a windows of the release..not may, possible between June and July..or not??

Razbmam and all they that used to much soon, very soon, it's coming, are creating to much hype I think...but now, the hype mounting effect is finished..and remain time to wait..and now also the time's terms are finished..lack only tomorrow..

 

but we will stay to waiting...is our hobby and this is a part of it...

It probably wouldn't be a problem if an approximate release date of EA was given - even a month would be ok. June, July, later, first half, second half. Simply because of mutual respect. Basically, it's all about that. We know that the relese is close since December'22 (or before even). We wait and wait and nothing. It causes frustration. If you can plan a wedding or whatever, why is there still no goddamn release date for the module ? That's weird. Of course, we will find out before the end of the pre order, because it has already been said (plus we will have the manual), but since others are already flying, I think that any intelligent  person is able to estimate the amount of work and how much time it will take in the final stage. Project management is challenging but not impossible, including setting deadlines. For some reason, the relese date is not given on purpose.
