Announcing Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3


Wags

Recommended Posts

So, while I understand where you're coming from with your questions, the answers to those, even as a paying customer are 'neat to know', and not 'need to know'. I'm not trying to be insulting here, just bluntly put, ED generally isn't in the habit of giving out information that parties outside of ED are not entitled to, no matter how much they may feel they are.

 

You may get a partial answer after FC3 is released, but you'll probably never get the whole story (even us testers/mods often do not, since ED does things that are unrelated to DCS as well and we, er, well, don't need to know).

 

As far as we know, what's going on with FC3 is exactly what Wags said. Yes, we know details, no, we won't tell you, but in the end it isn't particularly interesting information for you anyway.

 

 

The real interesting question is, at which point in Sept. ED had to face that they won't make it in September as originally stated and what was the initial reason for that? too many small bugs or a unexpected Super Bug they are desperately working on atm? I'd like to know, but they wont tell us except "nothing has changed"

 

I'd suppose if there hadn't be something totally unexpected we already would be up in the air with FC3. why would you announce FC3 for September otherwise, if you already knew before that its totally unrealistic?

 

but what do I know...

I need to say something. Why don't you people fly Flaming Cliffs 2 while waiting for next release!

It had been builed by the same developers. What we all wait is the next step.

 

The truth for me is after the release of A-10C I stopped messing around with FC2 but now as the release of FC3 delays, I think it's a good time to go back to fast movers. It will help us understand what developers achieved by just doing what they love I believe! So why don't we give them some extra time to do their job. We will all benefit in the end.

 

I hope I calm down some people out there. Finally I hope the release would be before Christmas by saying all these!

errrr.... I can't fully share the "in the end it isnt particularly interesting for you anyway approach" here, sry.

 

I'd feel much more comfortable with ED giving us just a little bit more info about the current challenges/troubles they are facing, than the above approach, .....but yes... lets stop this here...ED has its principles and discussing on this won't lead us anywhere.

All this whining and complaining about release date. Just shut up and let ED work. We ask them for a quality product...it takes time. Be happy that this will mean some additional features we requested or a more polished product overall.

 

This is why they release no more new info about Nevada or the next module. They will get burned if they misspeak or decide to amend their previous words.

Sure, but I wish they would focus on the hardcore Pointy Nose.

 

They focus on what they mean worth focussing to move the Productline forward, thats buisness mixed with trying to fullfill communitywishes...not an easy job at all...so, let them work!!

I agree, I sometime get shocked to see how much some customer are showing anger against the develloper.

 

It shows that they desperately wait for a product they love, but if they love that product so much, shouldn't they pay more respect for the people behind it ?

 

 

Good luck ED with the release, i'm sure that will be awesome.

I'm sure it's just a level of frustration and the only way to vent is through these forums. I'm sure ED is probably just as frustrated that they are not able to release it yet, but are well aware of the flames if they do release and it's not stable. It's a damned if you do. Damned if you don't situation. Keep pressing on ED. I will buy whenever it's released. :thumbup:

If I need to vent my frustration about anythings so I start my super duper Arcade Far Cry 2 Game and kill all the bad boys...that helps me more than trolling around in international forums and risking a warning, a bann or what not, at least wouldnt that help my frustration level...As somewhere else mentioned already...I also still have got to learn enough about the hog...so I prefer the term...a good thing needs its time...so you find me in Africa again :joystick:

Actually I have to plan what i will buy, since I'm damn poor for soon being 40!!

This month i prioritized the dentist twice, and beer while waiting to the realease of FC3.. a Beer-induced buy of CA .. it' 20 days until I get new money.. and I have 60$ to live on.. so of course some get upset, at people that used to deliver when they said it.

If it would been fighter-op's, Maddox games or Lead-Pursuit I would just giggle at it!

I think they have to wait for the release for me for FC3 because my PC did not arrive yet. So ED please wait till my PC arrives and than release it. /sarcasm off

 

Everybody has something

 

As I said, I'm no longer in any hurry.. I hardly even care about the release since relearning Falcon BMS 4.32 is a full time job!! (and what do you know.. you can even move the dials and switches in it!, and it's got a (few) dynamic campaigns)

 

EDIT-> Oh and Sarcasm should be a bit witty.. not just unrelated gibberish

Since everyone is so excited for AC that do not have the fidelity of typical DCS modules, I wonder if there is a lucrative market for this level or detail?

 

Is it against the "rules" for 3rd party developers to make and market F-35, J-30, SU-35, or F-22 at the flaming cliffs level?

Not against the rules. It's just that if you ask, few will say that is what they want from the 3rd parties. Go figure. ;)
