Really hoping that the release date shown is wrong :( https://store.steampowered.com/app/411893/DCS_F14_by_Heatblur_Simulations/ Well Winter 2019 could mean a number of things but I’m guessing it means early 2019 which fits exactly with what HB have said is a posssibility. But also would it be the end of the world if it did come out after new year? It should be released when it’s done not rushed out to meet a deadline and I want the HB guys to be able to enjoy their own Christmas period as well.

Varis Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 It should be released when it’s done not rushed out to meet a deadline and I want the HB guys to be able to enjoy their own Christmas period as well. I'm hoping everyone gets a couple of nice days off around the vacation period as well. But does it even matter if something is a bit rushed out? Did that not happen with the Hornet - the fans kept asking for it so ED felt obliged? We are already giving a fair bit of rope to developers in the DCS ecosystem. The fans get their hands on it for a first taste. And anybody who wants to be a beta tester can be one. The rest can listen to first impressions and opinions so they can know beforehand what product quality they are getting and can decide the when. As long as commitments are kept and jobs finished - is there any sense in losing one's marbles?

D4n Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Ofc. it's wrong, they promised this winter. And from what we saw in trailer all 3D work is finished already. And everyone here also believes that Heatblur doesn't want to miss the F-14's first flight date, which was 21 december 1970, and use that day (or even earlier, the earlier the better ofc.) release the F-14 module that day.

Tirak Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Everyone keeps hyping December 21st, and while it's poetic as all hell it's also a terrible release date. Honestly, while December would be cool, it probably would be best to wait until January after the Russian Holiday is over, that way they can have ED help with module breaking bugs on their end, but also so they're not having to drop their own Christmas plans to fix the inevitable bugs.

D4n Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Then they hopefully release before that, I mean all their forum thread show status of near completion, just as the trailer did DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

I thought the same, releasing on 21st and then bug hunting over christmas? I wouldn't do that, except the module is finished and the only thing they are doing for the last months would be internal bug hunting, but i don't think so. Then they hopefully release before that, I mean all their forum thread show status of near completion, just as the trailer did 1 Month ago, with their reveal video/stream they showed the F-14B with the F-14A cockpit because they had no finished F-14B cockpit....I think they still have a huge pile of work on their to do list just for the F-14B not speaking of the A model.

westr Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 They did state something along the lines of although they could not guarantee a release before Christmas it would make business sense if they could do so. I think HB will do their very best, but it may be a bit too much to get done in time?

That's why Dec 7th is best. Both HB and ED can have holidays plus they'll have some time before that to fix the biggest issues. And, totally unimportanty that way I would be able to fly her this year. 21st would be too late since I won't be within range of any sim-capable rig from that weekend on for two weeks.

Gorgok Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Or they set a date on 'release' that they can guarantee so they won't get in trouble with steam for missing a more optimistic date like the 20th or whatever. Releasing early based on the steam date is not an issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayos Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'd assume the beginning of December. It gives them time to get any little bugs worked out before Christmas so they can all take time off. Plus it would give us all something new to fly over the Christmas holidays :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So depends on their definition :thumbup: I recall Nineline stating that autumn doesn't end until around 21st Dec so possibly they follow astronomical definition. I feel it's strange since would think meteorology affects military aviation more than astronomy. Not certain. And it's always ED, apparently the year is already ending and we're still in the autumn for a good while! :pilotfly: SA-342 Ka-50 Mi-8 AJS-37 F-18 M2000C AV-8B-N/A Mig-15bis CA --- How to learn DCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
