Just to save me time reading what all the armchair experts have to say.. Is there an official comms or update to when they are looking to release of the F4 ?

Planned for Tuesday 21st May 

thanks

TWO WEEKS!

While I’m hopeful that people will finally chill, I have to disagree about it being funny. It’s very sad. The problem isn’t developers or delays, there are some broken humans around here that struggle with minor difficulties.

I’m not holding my breath,

Lord knows if I do, I may pass out.

Great comes out on 21 May. I'm starting the countdown. HB I'm watching you.

Cannot hold my breath for Two Weeks^TM. Has to talk and eat for a living. 
 

Damn, that launch date vid looks like something from Top Gear (UK edition, of course!)

I grew up in California in the 1960’s and half a dozen times when hiking or backpacking in the northern and southern high Sierra my buddies and I would be almost knocked off our feet by a pair of F4’s at treetop level flying over us, sweeping down one of the river canyons.  Loud beyond loud, but when you heard them they were gone. They weren’t supposed to be in the “pristine airspace” but we loved it and I have loved the F4 ever since. Can’t wait…

now that we have a "firm candidate" date, perhaps it's a good idea to rename or close this topic.

every time I enter this forum and see this topic has unread messages I think "oh no, it was delayed".

  Welcome to the future of the human race. It will only get worse from here. And I have to laugh because I see where it's going. If I don't look at it with humor, I'll go just as crazy. There is nothing anyone can do to stop this insanity so I take it in stride. It's all I can do. The outlook is not good. 

 

     Sorry for going off topic so far.

This aged well.

In software development there is seldom good news, it's just the way it works.  Watch some videos, read the manual and enjoy the anticipation.

I'm new to DCS and this was my first aircraft purchase. Another day isn't too big a deal, no? Is it always like this around here?

What do you mean? The Delays? Or the whining?

...on second thought - the answer is yes to both anyway.... 

[Migparts]

It seems there is delay beyond 21/05/2024 15:00Z.

[Silver_Dragon]

24 horas for now.

Patch was moved to the 22nd, apologies for that but we found some issues during final checks of DCS not related to the F-4E, which were blocking issues. 

We want the F-4E to have the best launch patch possible so a 24 hour delay was necessary. 

thank you 

[Silver_Dragon]

some will believe it. 

And the problem IS?
