Let's look at all of the good news: new gfx engine very close to beta, correction of AI, FM and DM in a near future, new theater with new planes and objects in the medium term, ground combat mode integrated with the air combat in the long term. Not a bad pipeline for the neglected CFS gender. And as we saw already they are not schedule driven, which is good for quality. Optimism is the key word, my friends. And encouragement to the devs, to keep the motivation high.

Heyyyy.....Sure I agree and would like to encourage the Devs..... I enjoy flying CLOD for the 25-30 mins it runs before CTD... I like the product...and just like the rest I just want it to work.

We just need to be calibrated on the devs concept of time and how they measure it.

So ......... Very Close = Months, Near Future = at least a year, Medium Term = Year plus, Long Term = many of us will be pushing up daisies

Anticipating the next "Friday" Update

Fair. But expectations from our side were always biased by the strong desire, and on the 1C side by their humongous optimism, well known to every project manager of this world ...

Good post well put. Managing customer expectations is a finer art (I've only been doing it for 22 years and I'm still learning).
