Jilted again.  Left standing in a snow storm with my credit card in hand and nothing to use it on. 

 

Of course this is the pre-order, so it's not like we have to wait two more days to download, but there's something satisfying about knowing all you need to do is download on release day.

 

Ah, well.  Back to simpit 2.8.  Might get that done before the actual release.

I think there is another saying, and it's not left standing in a snowstorm, it is with something in your hand ...LOL

Geez theres a lot of whining in here. This is only a pre-release for goodness sake. There was obviously reasons behind the delay, and these things happen. At the end of the day, you'll probably end up with a more refined product and experience. Cut them some slack. For all we know it's a freaking family emergency, and a lot of commenters are here throwing your toys out the crib.

Thank you for all you do @RAZBAM, @BIGNEWY and the rest of the ED team.

For me the pre-order discount is a big part of the equation.

Seems there is a bit more to "promotion" than just a page with some screenshots.

Like a video, detailed description of the product for the store (especially if you consider people will dissect this description word by word in a couple of months, to claim what "has been promised").

There could be an issue with the promotional video accidentally showing stuff that is considered work in progress or worse "not for the public" and that's just what comes to my mind, why there could be a delay, through what's supposed to be "5 minutes" work.

I think I speak for everyone here in saying that if RazBam accidently releases any secret information, we'll keep it to ourselves. 

 

We are discrete if nothing else.

I don't think Razbam has any control over pre-order release dates. That is ED's control.

I hope you not be disappointing

I am rather new to the DCS World. From my little experience, when those famous/popular YouTubers start flying the Mud Hen, you will know the release is near.

Release is way more down the line. This is about the pre-order date!

And Razbam already said it is only delaying the PRE-order, not the development, or the release...

[SmirkingGerbil]

I am just here for the First World Drama and Rage.

Long time customer of DCS, since 2011 ish. Went through the Luthier WWII birds scandal, and DCS/TFC picked it up and saved it. Waited I think 5 years for the P-47D, going on six or seven for the ME-262 as an original backer of the project.

Y'all just need to relax. The projects are exceedingly complex, and DCS is working with multiple partners now, so a lot more links in the chain.

You want consistency, fly the other sims - you want beautiful technical recreations of iconic War Birds and other aircraft, buckle up, and become one with patience.

Don't wanna hear the "I am a paying customer!!!"  - we all are, we all paid the same amount (or will pay).

Anyway, popcorn ready.

A fine omen if ever I saw! Swimmingly!

[Ramstein]

probably had something to do with accounting $$$$

[Voyager]

I will admit I am curious what happened. From the wording it sounds like something ridiculous, i.e. a squirrel tried to eat the power transformer substation and blew something important, or a helicopter dropped an air-condition on shipping and receiving while the contractual paperwork was in the mail box so now they have to get everything re-signed and noterized.

You know, the sort of things completely unrelated to the normal development process that seem to swoop in right when you have to meet that key deadline.

ED and 3rd parties has no building a other company simplified / WT product, has a very complex hardcore module on a evolving free core and here someone thinking and continue repeat build that kind of products has very easy and without problems. The "excuse" and the continuous atacks vs them turn on a  repeat "dramas" , when none of the present has put your reputation, money, time and work to build something with never has build. 

You need a better translator.  I can rarely understand your posts.

Bless your heart.

They can't get a pre-order date right, you think they will the release?

The delay dont change anything…it’s only a case of study (2nd time), but i hope that Razbam with the preorder will give a release date 8Stimate at this point..)

[huchanronaa]

I strongly suspect that deliberately delaying the pre-order time again and again may be a means of starvation marketing, which feels bad

[Intruder_360]

Why do all the people whining about a Pre-Order?

Well, i could understand that, when an early access date postponed again. But a Pre-Order, that's hilariously.

Ok, so we are closer and closer. My wallet is hot and ready to go for the nearest Friday, but I hope we will recive the release date also when pre orede will start. Pls 2 weeks after pre order start ; ), we all like 2 weeks promises! 
 

btw. In summary - the price of pre order 55,99$ (79,99$ regular price after EA, during EA = 20% less).

Reason of edit: not 3th but 15th of February.

Reason of second edit: not 15 but 17.02 according Razbam news.

 

Really?

Good news for my stressed wallet's health, I guess.

Thanks and with best regards.

Are you saying that they are making a professional version and we get that with all sensitive info removed or changed?
