Hornet Development - Today's OB Update - whats your thoughts?

Easily pleased here

I don't care as long as I can fly my Bug, build missions, get FREE updates and listen to "Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar" I'm a happy man

The updates aren't free, you literally paid for them.

While the bug's in OB - they're not updates, they're just finishing the product.

If you buy a product that is sold as feature complete, and you get an update - it's free.

Bought the Ka-50 when it came out ?

You paid for the original product.

Any improvements you get after that without paying extra - are free.

Updated cockpit for a product you bought 10 years ago - it's a gift.

When TWS arrives for the bug - it's not free, you paid up front.

facts are facts, reality is just one, even if everyone can read it in a different manner.

for example, my >>personal<< point of view is that even an ED founder say that ED would not be profitable without early access (here's the link to the words)

now i'm not against early access, we can beta-test for them (not being a cost fr ED...in fact actually paying them) while enjoying what is already done, so its kinda ok for all.

the part that i dont like is that even this seems "not profitable" for them, to the point they need to rush new early access to have money to finish the older already open early access.

from a financial point of view, that is a down-spiral typical of loans. and will not end well.

i really hope from the deep of my heart that ED find a way to fix theyr financial troubles, and go back to develop quality simulations.

Exactly my thoughts :(

What is DCS World Early Access?

Early Access is an option for you to play this module in an early state, but it will be incomplete with bugs (could vary from EA to EA as no clear minimal standard stipulated apart from systems). The time a product remains in Early Access can vary widely (anybody's guess) based on the scope of the project, technical hurdles, and how complete the module is when it enters Early Access. Eagle Dynamics and all of our third parties strive to make this period as short as possible (though no target deadline - open to intepretation). An Early Access module can be played on both the Open Beta and Release versions of DCS World. Once the module exits Early Access (a promise to complete it... someday), you will automatically have the Release version.

I agree Preendog… who knows, later on I might have to put my foot in my mouth in case ED starts knocking things out at an impressive rate, until then...

Oh I’ve certainly learned a great deal through using DCS but it’s almost all been “client side.”

 

I just don’t think such skills should ever allow anyone an advantage in game and I definitely don’t think they should ever be encouraged by the publisher. If there’s a key function or system that is fixed by a “hack” then that code should be adopted by the Devs in order to maintain a level playing field for everyone regardless of their computer savvy-ness.

ED is not encouraging this, NL simply said what everyone already knows. And there's no advantage to speak of, because you can't use a modified FA-18C.lua online, it doens't pass IC. If people want to mod their modules for private use and use partially implemented stuff, it's up to them and it doesn't affect anyone else.

I did not buy the Viper because I learned my lesson from buying the Hornet. I guess I just expect too much from ED. Live and learn. If you can deal with the pace of additions to the sim, good luck. Bottom line, we know how EA works with ED at this point so there is no point complaining about it.

Wasn't TWS and the TGP targeting retclie on HUD supposed to be in this last update? They aren't working on mine in OB

No. No changes to the hornet, what you read was the "coming soon" features.
