I hate the vapor in the morning ...
"very soon" ... that words includes thousands of possibilities .... why this guys are sooooo ambiguous? B6 give us an exact date ... we deserve that.

Because the last time the estimates weren't met to the second Maddox Games was torn to pieces by the "Gimme-gimme-wanna-have"-crowd?

Not that their estimates have ever been particularly exact, mind you, but people here have the unfortunate tendency not to read what is posted but to read what they want to read. And woe betide you if reality then doesn't match imagination!

To be honest though, i think we are way past the point where one answer will create more of a meltdown than the other if you know what i mean.

Yawn..

Very soon as in tomorrow ? Or very soon as in 2 months from now ? Could you be a little more specific ? Hopefully the work on the AI is successful. Right now I can follow large groups of enemy fighter from about .10 of a mile or right on their tail and fire for minutes on end and no response from them like I wasn't even there. All of a sudden after I shoot a couple down the rest go into rolling frenzies with 3 rolls per second and fly like a circus act . I would say AI fix should be a HIGH PRIORITY since online barely even works and all there really is , is offline mode .Other than that a very cool looking game , runs pretty smooth .

Thanks for the update, BlackSix!

Because doing so and missing that date will see 1C crucified even more viciously than they currently are. And if you think the boards are bad now, it's nothing compared to what they'd be if they posted a date and couldn't meet it.

I know what two weeks is, but is there a difference between soon and VERY soon?

i took A2A Spitfire from FSX for a ride, so i feel a bit grumpy about CLoD this week; anyway..

"made some improvements to the clouds"
what does that mean, are they usable now?

"On the aircraft front, we’ve done virtually everything we wanted to do"
so is the FM as good as you can do it, or as good as CLoD allows it to be? are you satisfied with it?

"Most of this work is, of course, based on the very helpful reports and suggestions from the community."
suggestion from the community: change the crosshairs to suit something more real, the current ones just, to use the word, suck

We’re hoping that we’ll have a playable stable version of the patch ready very soon.

Taking the first, and the last sentence together, that makes me happy if true. So you did consider Blackdog's suggestions thread, too, as I read it?
