Actually you might...

What if you didnt have the resources or time or parts yet to do a whole engine rehaul? Then why just wait and not do anything else until you get those things fixed. Thats just a waste of time.

little updates like these are much appreciated.

same root cause maybe?

Thanks for the update.

All I can say is, take your time, get it right, one more month doesn't really matter if the result is what you feel you can be happy with. I trust you guys (devs) are as passionate about this most ambitious sim as the community is.

Not overly impressed with the update to be honest. Could you please comment on what specific things will be fixed in the next update even if they can't yet be released? Comms, AI, SLI/crossfire etc?

"...but considering this forum’s special relationship with the word “tentative” I’m not going to say what it is..." The patronising tone is not helpful, especially considering 1C's breathtaking extension of the 'release early and patch' model which was actually 'release early and complete'.

You need a customer base to sell your expansion to in the coming months. Basic marketing strategy should tell you that repairing the relationship with the customer base is a top priority even at the cost of a slight delays. It really doesn't take that much time...

+1 to this.

It's like 1C are doing US a favour. If none of the community bought your simulator on release, you certainly wouldn't be working on it now. Instead of slagging off the community, you could have expanded more on what you and your team are actually doing. Nah, why bother..?

This next patch better be good..

Very good, made me laugh a bit anyway.

I'm not going to do anything if the patch doesn't deliver. But what will your reaction be if this patch is another disappointment?

All I meant by my post was at some point people's patience is going to run out. Not just with the developement of Cliffs of Dover, but also the strange relationship (if you can call it that) that 1C continues to have with it's community. The ROF team do a brilliant job of keeping their customers informed and involved, I just wish Luthier and co would do something similar.

Sorry for not pouring my admiration and thanks 1C's way. I just think certain things could be done a little better.
