The re-working of the "engine" aside, I would like some concrete answers on how many "bugs" (see bugtracker or reported bugs here) they plan on fixing before moving on to BOM. But as others have said...it's a futile request really, I don't think even they know at this point.

I agree with Furbs, I don't think Luthier can say for sure, or wants to hazard a guess when these bugs will be fixed, or how long the beancounters will let them work before pulling the plug. We know how the community reacts when he guess wrong.

You really don't need an update. The future of the series is exactly the same as we have now and have had for the last five years. We will expend another billion words on the subject and it won't make a lick of difference. This time next year will still be much the same as today. Don't kid yourselves.

I went with the second option, because i don't think it's good to commit to concrete answers when things are uncertain.

They are practically rewriting half the game code with the new graphics engine. In other words, getting done in the span of a few months half of what was done in a few years.

I want the sim to be better and trust me, i have my own set of preferred fixes that i think are long overdue. Having said that however, i think that now the best course of action is not to "over-report" for lack of a better word.

Much of the gnashing of teeth surrounding this title comes from setting the bar too high and revealing too much early on: when release date rolled around, the half of the stuff that had been implemented was impossible to run on a mid-range PC within the specified system requirements, the other half had been taken for granted and everyone wondered why it wasn't included.

I think the best they can do now is keep reporting what gets done. This way expectations can be managed to a realistic extent and everyone knows what the current and next set of aimed fixes are. My only addition, if it were up to me, would be a little more detail.

So to sum up, i don't expect a "this time in 4 months from now we'll have this" kind of thing because it's impossible to accurately predict. What i would like to see is something to the tune of "the past week we worked on A,B and C, the first two worked out ok but C is giving us some trouble...we'll keep working on it and add D and E to our job queue for the coming week".

Simple, step by step and to the point stuff that everyone can understand and most importantly, with no room for speculation.
