ebabil Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It doesn't have to be "rest of the patch" they can add a module without a comprehensive patch FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebabil Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 What do you mean by "can't"? If there is nothing big in the kitchen and if there is a module imminent, do they have to wait to push some features along with the modules? It is really up to them. Especially for a module this late.

Hiob Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Because I bet you a fortune that a complex module like the Apache needs a ton of adjustments in the core game. New FLIR comes to my mind e.g. Everything interconnects. Therefore you can‘t „just“ release the Apache, without the Software iteration that it was developed in/for. 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

I'm pretty sure it's been said that it will be released along with a bunch of other fixes and content. 1 Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the apache is flying in rain, I wonder if the windshield shows the wiper blades actually clearing rain. Time will reveal if this is modeled. You might be disappointed in how accurate the non wiping wiper blades are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidrbarnette Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Not to be cynical, but what exactly does the "Gold" announcement add? Does this mean it will release Friday? Next Wednesday? By March 31, which we already knew? A few weeks ago the leader of the company said release was "imminent", which in my definition of imminent means it would have already happened, Wags commented that the unreleased George AI & COld Start tutorials wouldn't hold up release of the module, and NineLine said "not coming this week" as well as "I could be wrong"... and anyone wonders why people get frustrated with ED's launch practices? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 2 x 40 mission SP campaigns and multiple single missions, and AI that just simply works, it's probably a better experience than DCS Apache will be at launch.

Gold means that they will be doing no more code changes. It's locked, and they're happy to release what they have. The only thing we can be certain of now is that there will not be another push back date, but the "By March 31st" is a solid statement now. Given that announcement, I expect they still have to finalise everything else that's required for release logistically and technically. This will most likely include creating a final build along with the rest of the changes into an Open Beta package. Provisioning the website for download (Which I dare say is more involved than just uploading a file), liaising with steam to get the final build available for download there too and doing whatever is required to have it up and running. Updating the store so that it no longer has it available to purchase as early release, probably getting a well deserved good nights rest to be bright and awake when it is released for the flurry of questions that will abound, and then when all the eggs are in order, flicking a switch. No doubt there are other things behind the scenes that are required as well before this occurs. I have no idea how long all this takes. The bit that concerns me the most is steam. It wouldn't surprise me if that takes a week or more alone in itself to get organised (although I, like everyone else are hoping that we're talking a matter of days, not weeks). I would expect that the next 'sign' of progress will be seeing the Apache disappear off the website as an early release purchase. That will tell us we're one step closer again. As it currently stands, the Apace is still available for Early Access Purchase. Maybe they are giving 24hrs after the 'gold' announcement before removing this to be fair to everyone who's on 'the other side of the world?' to have their last chance at an early practice. As such, I'd still expect it to be days away - quite possibly another week - although it would be so sweet if it was this weekend!

That is not a problem. Ugra Media 3rd party build Syria Map, and ED the AH-64D module. ED always put a big quantity of your core and module work and 3rd party modules on your "big" updates.
