Seriously, how is this taking so long?

 

IIRC, that post pre-dates the 3rd party project falling apart and ED starting it over.

Well how long should it take to completely build an environment from the ground up from scratch?

 

...and a new graphics engine.

Fair enough. I'm just frustrated that it's May now and the only hint of a release we have is from the March Newsletter which says

 

"We are making great progress on implementing our new graphics engine into DCS version 1.3.0 later this year."

 

I heard that before in 2011 and 2013.

You havent seen all the screenshots from EDGE? I mean every little aspect has to be tweaked and adjusted, look through the sim folder sometime and look at everything that goes into this, and think that everything they do is entwined with everything else. You have seen how hard it is to add things and it causes problems somewhere else, and now they are redoing the core of the game under our feet and still giving us regular updates... I think you need to look at the big picture and ask why its ONLY taken this long.

Sure, I've seen the very occasional screen shot. I haven't seen ANY in game video footage yet though.

 

I'm not sure your definition of 'regular updates' and mine are the same.

 

I count 3 screenshots and 3 sentences since January.

 

It's depressing.

This.

 

I mean this with the appropriate amount of respect, but over here things move along at a LockOn/DCS pace, said pace unique in this our Hobby industry. Us Old Timers that have been around since LOMAC days understand and appreciate this phenomena and whilst it's sometimes difficult to swallow, we have made peace a loong time ago with ED-Time and co-exist peacefully.

 

Some have yet to fully grasp and comprehend the concept of ED-Time. Others falter and fall by the wayside, usually accompanied by a fit of tantrums that follow them out the door, having failed to realise that all good things come to those who wait patiently.

 

Best thing anybody can do is soak up the big picture, starting at 1995.

I am talking about regular updates as in patches to the game, and I am stating that with the amount of work that is going on under the hood they still manage to continue to give us new stuff along with bug fixes... as for news updates, you are wrong that there has only been 3 screenshots since January... you need to look again.

I get the whole DCS time scale. Study sims in general have an extremely slow development cycle due to limited budgets, a niche market and the enormous complexity involved.

 

That I can understand. I just don't get why we can't have an exciting video or something substantial to whet our appetite once in a while.

 

It's like waiting for paint dry, but the paint never dries! There's the occasion snippet of promising news followed by months of silence and then the inevitable "sorry guys, maybe next year".

 

Once in a while it all gets too much and too frustrating so I take the forums for a while before I calm down again and find something else to do.

And considering how often folks pick any and all communications apart and bring forth the pitch forks and torches I don't blame ED for keeping quiet.

 

We have done this to ourselves...

No, this wasnt taken out of context.

 

Q: Where is the Nevada terrain from the early betas?

A: This will be released as a separate upgrade map in 2012.

 

Its stuff like this that concerns those who ask these questions. Some paid for a product 5 some odd years ago that still hasnt been released, so please dont act like some vocal supporters should never question certain motives.

Questions are allowed, but when they have been asked repeatedly AND answered, not so much....

And I agree, but you really shouldnt take them as questions. They're questions that dont require an answer because all they are doing is voicing their concern. Its a legitimite concern that doesnt need to be validated with an answer, thats all.

Well that doesnt really go well on a discussion forum ;) Maybe he should scream such questions into his pillow.
