After my stint of developing for the largest investment banks in the world, i was in charge of deliverring applications that, in manies eyes would have been a miracle to get done on time. For example, singlehandedly i built a back office brokerage application dealing with trade algorythms to produce trade data (yes confirming settling ond amounts of money to settle in millions) to confirm with brokers, full GUI, fully working, documented. I had 4 days to do it. And i did it, the whole thing fully working with no bugs. with 4 nights of 3 hours sleep. but was told to do it by management without doing overtime and fit it somehow into 9-5 job so i had to even lie and say i did it 9-5. after completion i was then hit by the clients with more features to add.
If you focus on what you know you can deliver, and get basics working such issues as FPS, at least, with Agile methodology, a customer would be partially satisfied. I feel sad for IL2 team really i do. But really am a bit mystified how its still not ready, they should know the code inside out by now. after all this time.
