When is JF-17 going to be launched at DCS? It’s been dragging on for a long time.

When is JF-17 going to be launched at DCS? It’s been dragging on for a long time.

I saw the introduction of YOUTUBE, and the completion of JF-17 is even higher than the current DCS F-16C

It's in Quality Assurance process, so it depends on how good it is/ how fast ED is.

ED's own DCS F-16C will be available in the low degree of completion, unless there are other problems in JF-17 that are not resolved.

All functions of JF17 are nearly complete. At present, it is in the QA stage, but when to sell and download, the key lies in ED, DIS has not been able to decide. If we pass QA, we can release it as soon as possible, if we can pass QA quickly, then we can have it faster. When will we have JF17 through QA? I don't think anyone can answer except ED.

This is amazing. Release it now then you'd get complain a feature is missing. Release it later then you'd get complain it takes too long. Glad I'm not in this kind of business.

I mean, if you compare the DCS F-16C's completion criteria, JF-17 will be available soon.

Agreed dammed if you do, dammed if you don't I said a similar thing about the F-16 launch last week its 100% the reason companies won't share all of what they are working on but DCS is very good in this reguard which is probably the reason this happens

why do customers always think they run the business lmao

you want things done your way go do it yourself

Whatever happens, happens

Hey Deka, when it’s ready it’s ready. I waited five years for Heatblure to get the Cat out, actually I did give up on that one, but I digress. The fans here seem to prefer the near complete releases to the really early access ones. I have to say, I also would rather wait a year longer to have a more compleat module. From what I’ve seen the JF-17 looks spectacular. I’m definitely sold, and I have no particular interest in JF-17s in particular. So do what you need to do, get it through QA, make it nice and functional. I can wait to fly it, but am really looking forward swatting a few Hornets.

I just gave up to follow this forum. Too long wait

Well maybe when it’s out you’ll come back. Atleast it seems like you’re not so worried about the imperial units now!

All I hope is that there will be a official and big announcement so everyone knows it who follows ED forum...

So you are glad that you are not part of any kind of buisness? Because a lot of people will naturally have even more oppinions. You will never be able to 100% please everyone, if that your goal you will never reach it.

Some people will always like other things than other people. Deal with it. No reason to open the salt bucket everytime some people have a different opinion.

For me at least, I prefer the more complete module and appreciate that devs are taking their time and not rushing out incomomplete, uhm, things for the sweet sweet EA buck, because thats kinda rare in the videogame industry these days and has led to hilarous failures.

And so, the greatest Soothsayer in the Kingdom of Flightsimmia was summoned to answer this riddle. The Prophet Olegidus Maddoxii has cut open the hare and, upon viewing its liver, has delivered this portent:

"TWO WEEKS BE SURE"

When they feel like it, that's when. This isn't War Thunder where they slap a new texture and some stat bonuses on and call it a day. It typically takes 3-5 years for completion (F-16 reuses code from F-18 is only reason we have it). So yeah, it's been a while. What of it? The whole point is tgey aren't doing an EA release.

So excited for this thing.

I wonder if he knew that would become as popular as it did, and has, over the years? :)

They don’t run the business but they pay full price for a promised-to-be-completed product. So yes they have a say because they are paying for it based on specs as advertised by the developer. And that revenue helps keeps the company afloat. So I’d say consumers are one of the the stakeholders which the developer takes cues from. It’s the same consumer expectations for any product sold.

Well when they pay for something, they can bitch. Deka taking their time.costs no one anything, so people have no basis to complain.

I wasn't referring to Deka actually, but the issues with ED's EAs. Deka seems to be more customer focused with better PR.

Oy vey,

It will be out when its out. "soon" ... People really need to get a grip here, and some perspective.

If they just sent it out for Q/A checking it will still be a while. IIRC when it came out, it took like 2 weeks for the mig19 which was supposed to be "complete", then ED Q/A said, LOL wut? No way are we putting this out. Then it went back to Raz for like a month. Then it went back for Q/A #2 which must have went better, since they did release it as EA. And even then the whole FM was a dumpster fire and a bunch of stuff didn't work. Thats on a Mig-19, with "simple" systems, FM, and some very basic weapons.

Compare that to the JF17, the most modern fighter in DCS with advanced weaponry? I'm sure it will take more than the magic 2 weeks to test and evaluate it. And if there are issues, I'm sure it will also take some time to fix them.

Personally I'm thinking they will get it out before Xmass. Which is great in my book.
