I'm sure FC3 is as ready as it ever will be to be released. They wont delay it. If they said September, then it will be so. But they will wait until the very last day of the month to release. This is how they make their money. First they get the loyal fans hyped with an announcement. Then the news spreads to lower tiers of people who are somewhat familiar with it and all of a sudden they are hyped too. Then they tell their friends who tell their friends...and so on and so forth. Next thing you know you have a mass of people who are hyped for the release and cant wait to spend their $40 bucks. But for all this hyping to happen, it takes time. Hence the wait....

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

I´ve got an advice for you.

Play games like Masse effect 1-3 or TESV: Skyrim...those games are pretty much time eating and you dont recognize how much days are going by...I am doing the same...and you know what? Nearly every visit a new release...:D (kidding, but I think you know what I am referring to)

"The art of simulation design is about understanding limited fidelity...

 

...compromises must be made. Designers have to consider cost vs. fidelity and processor time vs. fidelity. Additional trade-offs must be made between graphics, AI, flight models, number of units and more...

 

...never ask the pilot what he wants to learn because he too will end up building an airplane. Instead, ask the pilot what he needs to learn."

I sure hope the product isn't done and just waiting to be released as everyone is speculating, because meanwhile there are many of us waiting for the update to DCS:World so that we can connect via multiplayer. There are some groups out there that are preparing for specific events for which we need that connectivity... and we're not getting it.

There's actual work happening. In my experience with ED, they've never held back a release when it was ready, unless it was required by some sort of contractual obligation - not that I recall the latter actually happening either.

I have no doubt ED is still working on it. FC3 is only a part of it, as aaron886 mentioned an update to World is needed and I am fairly certain we will see new downloads for every single module as well.

 

Getting all of that done takes time. Quite likely, more than was originally anticipated.

Its going to be end of this month most likely for some kind of a update. We all get paid either at the end of the week or in the middle. Since we passed the middle its likely going to be end of this month for the release or at least delay update. :)
