Can we please have a sign of life this week?

Luthier reads this thread and suddenly decided he must make an exception to his long-standing rule of only giving the bare-essential information.......nope, I don't think it'll happen, but thanks for posting!

I am proud to be on Adonys list, that says that i am not the only one with a positive attitude and some common sense

[Phazon]

At least the next time he posts it'll be a real humdinger. Alot going on behind the scenes making the game better that hasn't be shown yet apart from saying its coming. I want a video of the new sounds and tweaked graphics in action at least.

your ban didn't keep you enough far from here? I don't think that registering in a forum with another name after a ban and then post is allowed, or you forgot the password of your old account?

P.S.
you have 2 posts equals (+1), you registered here to start flaming and spamming?

This wine is starting to go all "vinegar-ish", and the label peeled off and read, "Jim's Truck Stop house wine, best before 2009".

I agree with usual voice of reason, Tree_UK.* Luthier isn't about to be bullied or guilted into posting an update. He's in charge, and has probably noticed every time he posts, it gets a page of praise, and another 27-40 of complaints. He'll post when he feels like it and creating a new thread asking him to post isn't going to change that.

*A voice of reason is usually declared insane if all those ears it falls upon are likewise.

When respect is lost, there's very hard to make it back. And in game developing industry, users' respect is the most valuable asset you have when you're a small developer..

How come I'm on your list and you're not on my?

boring...full stop!

We just got an update and if we read it carefully, we'll see that they post updates when something is either ready or in a good enough condition to show.

The way it goes is:

1) A few words about what is being worked on, maybe a picture or video of it, along with an approximate timeline.
2) Developers working on the stated items.
3) When a feature is in a good enough condition to show, another update with a short description about the next thing to work on, maybe a few screenshots or a video.

etc...

It's pretty clear that they are watching our feedback, taking steps to correct what needs fixing and providing updates in the way mentioned above: the updates keep coming, they are just not regular in the sense of "every X day of the week/month" because the amount of time needed to complete each patch is not the same each time.

Where i'm going with this is that no matter how good the intentions of the thread starter might be, these threads invariably end up serving no real purpose apart from giving the forum members stuff to argue about between updates, increase the moderators's workload and fill up my mailboxes (both PMs and email from the automated mails about reported posts) with messages from people reporting each other's posts.

Since this thread is no longer relevant (we got what the thread asked for) i'm moving it to the pilot's lounge. It's pretty much clear by now that updates follow a pattern "of show things when ready and not before" and yet they do come and the sim is being worked on, so i'm thinking about moving all such threads from now on to the pilot's lounge after the first few pages have filled up.

I'm not going to stop anyone from speaking their mind, but having 2-3 threads about the same thing cluttering the front page every 2nd-3rd week after the last development update is counter-productive in more ways than one (eg, why not keep these questions in one thread in the first place?)

This is not punishment, it's just for streamlining the forum's readability so that we can all find the useful stuff faster and not have to wade through numerous threads dealing with the exact same subject matter.
