I’m so excited for the release of the F-4. It’s been such a long road and I can’t wait to finally fly this legend.

Kiowa when? 

‘Just kidding!

But, no seriously…when?

Two weeks.  😆 😉

It`s the only thing that can detach me from my viper! As someone said earlier time to dust off the flight controls and stash the wheel and pedals for a while 😁

2-WeekTM used to be the Gold Standard, you know... (Secretly) Should have patent that soon thingy when I had the chance.

OT: yes, that Kiowa is in the line of purchase.

B2T: planned to jump right into the pilot seat when I finish the update! Hopefully today. Fingers-crossed-and-toes-curvedTM

The contents of DCS World are so overwhelming to me: so many things to try, so many things to revisit. For now, whining about new products being late does not make much sense.

Gee, I am free today, not so tomorrow... 😞 Will wait and at the end of the day, uninstall all mods, clean up and repair so DCS will be ready by the time the Phantom drops. Fingers-crossed-and-toes-curvedTM.

About the last chance to abort launch now, Heatblur. Just say the word, two more weeks?

That didn't age well 😞

No offense, really, I'm trying to get a civilized conversation here and I don't have any plan of software development at all, so I hope you don't mind explaining it to me: It's been planned for days, if not weeks (I didn't count tbh), and just today you found issues, weren't there some checks done before? Also, is there no possibility in still fixing them in the next couple of hours?

It's been delayed, well, I don't have to tell you the story about it, you know it pretty well. But beginning in "we feel confident in a 2022 release, otherweise we wouldn't confirm it for 2022" and now at this, we're all pretty frustrated.

I suspect the main issue with the release delay is not anything F-4 specific. There are other updates coming and a days delay is very common.

Why not just bring the F4 today and everything else tomorrow? From what I've read a lot of people took a day off (me included) and now you're telling me it's completely wasted just because ED delayed the patch about something that's not even related to the F4? That hurts

The base game must be patched in order for the Phantom to work. You can't separate those things. Last moment delays for 1-3 days are not uncommon for DCS-patches.

I get the frustration about the day off, but that the way the cookie crumbles...

I have the whole week off, which sounds great until you realise that I am away from home so wont be able to update until Saturday. I feel your pain. I might update on my laptop tomorrow and see if it will run. I might be able to manage 5 fps and fly without a HOTAS 😀

Maybe everything else is OK and the main problem is with F-4E only on the end of the road, you dont know it.

The F-4E deserves the best launch day possible, the delay is disappointing for sure but necessary. 

Heatblur have worked very hard, it will be worth the wait. 

thanks

And I didn't, and you already have the answer above - recent tests showed a problem with this module and DCS current compilation as well.
