In every developement, especially when entering new grounds, delays are to be expected, anybody getting excited about them, needs a reality check.

Delays because of unforeseen circumstances can't be neither planned nor avoided.

So when they released the last beta/alpha patch and said 3 days for this and 3 days for that, they then decided at that very moment to start developing the DX9 beta? hence the delay?

what ever your smoking...

Making comments on how long stuff is expected to take can be avoided however.

I actually agree with you robtek. But the key word is "development". The development time was from 2004 to 2011, that's when you expect the delays. After you "release" a product, you should be past the development delays since you are now asking for money for something that is supposed to work.

They were forced to release a not completely developed software!

Weren't they?

Or does somebody really claim CoD was finished on release?

And then they had to redevelope great parts of the core program.

And that's the customers fault? At the very least after swindling our money for something that doesn't work, they can be candid and honest. Instead, we get vague crap and misdirection instead of realistic info.

Oh, but it does work, not perfectly, not even very satisfactorily for quite a few, but it works good enough to have fun with it, if one wants it.

And swindling, doesn't work, vague crap, misdirecting? Thats pure badmouthing from your side.

They give us information, not the information you would like to get, but they confirm that they are working on the solution of CoD's problems.

It's not their fault that you are so unfaithful.

Its not a matter of being unfaithful, this could be a really great flight sim unfortunataly it was mis managed and rushed out the door, frustration is what I would call it. Anyway im off down the pub.

Tell that to the folks that run XP and DX9. They got swindled, pure and simple.

Why have they? it seems to me the main hold up with the patch is to make sure the DX9 guys are looked after.
