Aerosmith anyone?:joystick:

 

TBH, IM doing goo on 1.2.2 now that workarounds are in place to fix the problems that crash either the process or the server. :joystick:

 

Playing a lot of the same server as either A-10C or FC3 A2A.

 

once 1.2.3 is released, it'll be fun flying missions with everything put back in.

Community said they want more features.

ED said okey.

Do you think it is correct to announce release of a product and just AFTER THAT ask community? I'm really curious, because I'm working in software industry myself, and we do it in exactly opposite way: first we collect feedback from customers, ask them what they expect/want/need, then we create new software version and announce release...

 

...aside from some work that remains to be done on A2A missile AFM, you have had what was "promised" for months already. Are you seriously complaining about getting more at no extra charge?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was not multiplayer stability something community wanted badly (speaking now only for myself: more than anything else!)? Or do you mean we have had it "for months already"? Man, I have been online-playing DCS/FC since the old LOMAC-days, and honestly, never in all those years have I ever encountered so many server disconnects and random game crashes as in the last few months...

Lets hope that the G940 FFB will be fixed in next patch. I really can't imagine...only my opinion...

 

It was said that they 'think' it is fixed. Nothing more definite than that.

You're working. That must mean you're an adult. Yet you still whine when you don't get something. :D

im pretty sure it was more along the lines of.

 

release pre-order / beta, community asked/whined/begged for better pits, external 3d edms and stuff to Match the other 6DoF Pits/Externals, ED said OK, announced new EDMs are in progress. <shrug> thats the purpose of an open beta, feedback. :book:

Thanks for finding the quote.

 

The good news is that we believe the force feedback stick issues have all been resolved.

Who ever announced a fixed release date? Do tell.

And a lot of people are arguing about the taken time to debug the network code... These problems are natural to have, the last patches brought CA and FC3 into DCSW.

Darwin was a wise man, but obviously his theory is flawed... Want proof? Read this thread..

 

If you can't understand the difference between OPEN BETA and RELEASE/FINAL you should NOT buy the product. ED is one of the few developers that don't release beta titles as final versions. Don't pretend to be so *beeeeep* that you don't realize that.

Dude:

Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 Pre-Purchase Available

 

 

The entire Article is regarding the Pre-Purchase BETA.

[Manuel]

I cannot find a release date.

[upupandaway]

I'm sorry- but people discuss things ALL THE TIME that don't have any impact on anything. Politics, death, religion, taxes, Russian meteors... Discussion is natural and without it I dare say forums wouldn't exist.

 

Sure, you are right about that aspect, but my point was that the discussion got moved away from the "serious" part of the forum to a section that clearly mirrors its narrow focus on keywords like unkept promises, eternal beta, etc - not constructive contributions by the community. That was earlier. I don´t see the point in getting upset about something you have absolutely no way of influencing at this point and it´s largely cyrcling around what has been said a dozen times before...

 

And a lot of people are arguing about the taken time to debug the network code... These problems are natural to have, the last patches brought CA and FC3 into DCSW.

 

There is no patience on the internet...

Apparently you write faster than read. So once more:

 

Tuesday, 04 September 2012

DUXFORD, UK, September 1st, 2012 – The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics will release Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 for Windows PC in September 2012.

 

Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 Pre-Purchase Available

 

Wednesday, 07 November 2012

 

04 September 2012 vs 07 November 2012! Clear enough?

[Eddie]

Fine, we'll go back to ED releasing no information, news, updates or anything else at all then. Would that suit you better?

 

Some people really are unbelievable.

[SkateZilla]

You're griping over 1 WEEK? seriously?. IIRC, there was a patch/bug issue that delayed FC3.

 

Technically since it's not a GOLD release announcement, the beta testers and previewers HAD FC3 IN SEPTEMBER :p

Once again, would you like ED to release the patch and/or product prematurely? Yes or no.

[agentkgb]

04 September 2012 vs 07 November 2012! Clear enough?

 

So what? It is already history :) On the page, where you can actually buy the product, it is clearly stated, that it is a beta. For me, that means, that ED actually wanted to release as final, but the huge codebase and the integration of the modules created issues. So they didn't sell you this as a FINAL product. - RESPECT -

Pre-Purchase also provides access to Beta versions of Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3.

Please, just simply accept, that it is still a beta, and the majority of the community is very happy to try the beta, and help devs to get faster and better. In return, we can ask for new features, which were not in the original scope of this release. Fair enough, isnt't it? More than that...

And I don't want to go deep into sw development stuff, but believe me, you're not the only one involved. Different scope, different size, different business model, I hope you try to compare apples to apples. We get more and more, because we ask for it. That is not for free and not for tomorrow. Big sw multis sell the first release as final. Then the patches/upgrades are released to actually finalize, and meet the demands. At least that is my view :)
