St4rgun Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 After reading the first tenth of the manual and seeing Casmo's video my first thought was: "No way, I will not be able to learn this". After experiencing years and 20 modules with DCS this night vision based mess I saw in the video was thrilling. I was not able to see a thing and I was only able to understand what they are communicating in the 10% of the time, while the team was totally confident in the situation... I'm not a native english speaker, so for me the rapid radio comms was hard to interpret. This time I'll have to watch this video at least 5-10 times to analyze it thoroughly. I will have to experience myself how the monocule night vision can be interpreted by my brain in VR, but in this time I'm sure that the learning curve will be steep. MUCH steeper than with the A-10C II was. Now it makes sense what Vitaly from ED said in an interview that learning the Apache will be at least a YEAR. The sheer work ED made to prepare this module is simply mind boggling. I can really understand ANY delay we experienced before to have THIS quality.

Enjoy the video and look forward to the release, when we are ready to let you know the release day we will. Keep an eye on the patch status post on the forum. thanks As if we're not all feverishly banging on the refresh button in that post... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sanction something means to authorise it. In that context, I meant that Casmo had probably asked for permission to put it on Youtube. However, the thought of banning Casmo's oil is rather amusing. 2 hours ago, Hoirtel said: Seems unfair Ha! Yeah, taken out of context it does seem harsh.

Hotdognz Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I honestly think they will take it right to the very end date given, I mean why wouldn't you use that time now to give it some more polish or fix found bugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you asked, I will now answer the question: Reasons why I would not force my customers to suffer a prolonging of the delay to the access to something that they generously financed: 1. An understanding that products will always have minor issues to resolve and minor refinements to complete, and that needless frustration of the people that make your business possible is not good customer relations. 2. An enhanced presence of the product on medias, thereby resulting in increased awareness and sales of the product.

Dangerzone Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) In a perfect world, we'd see it released to Open Beta this weekend even with bugs. Continue Open Beta releases until the bugs are tidied, and then out to stable release when they have it wrapped up just as they like. Open beta doesn't require it to be solid.... BUT .... BUT there's too many people that seem to not understand what Open Beta means - and going by past events and responses on here - I honestly wouldn't blame ED one little bit for delaying it until the last minute to deal with bugs to a place where they're happy or a Stable Release before even releasing to Open Beta users. Maybe... if more people understood the difference between OB and SR we wouldn't be waiting as long as we currently are and may have already had it. Who knows.

inexus Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Such a shame. I can take a break from hammering the forums, discord and reddit for some days. It would be interesting to know one day - if possible - what has been happening behind the scenes. From Christmas when it was said that the Apache was nearly there but needed just a bit more work in January to that the release was imminent in February... they must have hit some tricky bugs or something. Now I can only wonder if it will actually be ready by end of March and they are simply gold-plating with extra features they can get done or they are busy on bugs then can't fix. 1 13900@5.8Ghz, Asus TUF 4090 OC, 64GB@6400mhz DDR5, 4K, TrackIR 5, Tobii, Virpil CM2, CM3 F-15E | F-16C | F/A-18C | A-10C | A-10C II | AV-8B | AH-64D | MI-24P | MI-8 | BS 2 | UH-1H | Mosquito | BF 109 | Spitfire | P-47D | CA | SC | WWII AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiob Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Honestly, when I see the videos from Wags and the complexity of the module, I really feel blessed, that they even dared this project, let alone bring it to this level. I don't know, but just from my guts, I imagine that this project was enormous and very challenging. No question, there are other complex aircraft. It's not the first time. Yet - I think, this one was another dimension. I really hope, it delivers - and the devs earn the praise, they probably deserve. Just my feelings about it. Maybe true, maybe wrong, but that's my impression. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
