Announcing Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3


Wags

Recommended Posts

Things change. All ED had to do was not announce anything at all, then announce the release the same day it was ready to release. This is exactly why ED do not want to announce anything, and just push out the release when it is ready, because people start complaining that something is not released. In the end, they will release it when it is ready. What do you want, for them to release something that is not ready? I understand Beta releases, but really, the idea is to release something that is ready to go normally.

Why do you think that there is current silence about an estimated release? Because, if any estimate is given, and it does not happen, bang, complaints galore on the forum :) I bet we will not hear anything again about FC3 until the day it is released.

 

Keep in mind, this not Electronic Arts with shareholders demanding a release date so revenue can be generated to satisfy stock holders. Then, if a date is looking like to slip, you throw cash at the problem. This is a small company trying to make money and doing something they love.

So FC3 will reuire LOCK On be installed... Installed where? Where will Lock On reside?

 

You install Lockon first anywhere, then install FC3 anywhere separately. On first start of FC3 it will check that Lockon is installed and run. After the first run of FC3 you can delete Lockon. This is how it works with FC2, so the assumtion is FC3 will be the same.

Lol. At least my knees are still clean :) I am excited as well. Of course I will be more excited when DCS:Su-27 and DCS:F-18 are announced :)

I am definitely amped about this module. I can understand this is a small company, but I think most of us here are reasonable and just appreciate some official communication. A small bone of information without a release date.

 

I don't know. Maybe I just need to find other things to pass my time by and leave these boards alone......Nahhh cant do that. I love this community too much. :love:

Are they secretly working on a clickable cockpit for the F-15C?:music_whistling:

 

Yeah, especially since it's FC level and not DCS. Maybe the controls would be clickable, but with no real effect, but the switch moving on/off :)

ED announced FC3 to get released in September, so everbody estimated the due date, by end of September at the latest. Then on 26th of Sept, they said, they wont make it. I have no problem with this at all, a product release can take longer, but ya have to keep the community updated whats going on ! not leaving them alone for another month.

 

the customer support here on already released ED products is brilliant, the info on upcoming developments is not.

 

noboday wants to be updated about every single line they programme , but we wanna be at least kept updated why we are almost a month later then the original due date and still not the smallest sign of a release. read the posts, people are startin' to get upset, with good reason.

....people are startin' to get upset, with good reason.

 

There is absolutely no good reason whatsoever.

 

People know it is in development. People know there are test builds that are being tested and worked on in order to get to a workable release-candidate. People know that, as previous experience shows, that FC3 development is fluid and thus incapable of being given an exact date for completion. In addition, people have been treated to numerous AAR Beta previews courtesy of BeachAV8R.

 

Goodness knows what more is there to do?

Most on here are reasonable and don't expect an "exact date", there is however a press release that was issued at the beginning of September to expect the release in September. Then September 26th, understandably, the announcement of the release delayed. Almost a month later there is this vacuum of...

 

On the side of the customer I love the interaction from ED staff and reps. I know they cant be here on these board every moment of the moment, but almost a month of......

Well some of the customers will get a little jumpy and start to question. And based on the expectation for a delivery that was suppose to happen in September it's only natural for some to have this reaction. :music_whistling:

Ok, what do you guys think is the new features? Only Ricardo's cockpits? Something else?

 

We will not announce these new features until they are integrated and working properly such that they can be released with the game.

It were the news of the FC3 and the 1.2.1 patch that woke me up from my lo-tech coma, of rattling around in WWI planes in RoF (Great sim BTW!).

 

And I have to admit that I'm still relearning stuff, that were automatic reflex before, so I should stick to that, instead of whining about when FC3 is released.

 

But my I still feel that info would be nice! Are they secretly adding 6DoF to all the pits? Are they building a frozen turkey cannon, to fill my german MIG-29 engines with..

 

Just an official word on what is going on would make so many feel a lot more relieved, even if it's 'no soup for you' until X-mas! :pilotfly:

 

EDIT->HAHAH! Now that is cheating.. giving me what I just asked for, one minute before I posted it! !!
