Before the release, updates were weekly because you couldn't look at pictures of pretty planes without the developer's help, so they gave you some screenshots (that was the nature of the previous Friday updates and some people complained even then, but most were happy with just that, screenshots and the occasional video).

Now you can fire up the sim and snap all the screenshots you want, hence the update has to show something more. Since that something more is ahead and beyond what is already included in the sim, it means newly coded stuff, which means waiting until it's ready and functional before a screenshot/video can be made to display it.

Unless you all want some C++ code to look at in the meantime

Actually, I think most would just be happy with some tangible words from Luthier. Pictures/videos/audio clips are just extra niceities, but not necessary to satisfy the majority of the community. So much was clear during the end of the Friday-Updates. The pictures got a bit boring, and many were screaming for some actual info on the product. It goes to show that words can be extremely powerful, and the same is true here; a few carefully placed words from Luthier could alleviate a lot of tension within the community.
