What do you expect for this Friday?

[il_corleone]

Hello, this is a simple post for tell opinions and expects, these are my expect
-I think they will realease the Readme for the patch
-i (Hope) they release the hotfix whit the readme, fixig the AUTOGEN and the framerate to the old beta patch

For me those "news" will be a step forward.

[pstyle]

what do i expect? ummm...

What would I like to see:
1. A readme for the patch (as promised)
2. maybe a hotfix for ONE of the issues reported

I don't think one week is enough time to expect all issues to be fixed.

[JG52Krupi]

Hopefully the read me and at least the hurri fixed!

[holdenbj]

I expect nothing, :rolleyes:
but would like to see a few words from the development "team"
and a mini fix for getting the Hurricane off the ground online.

[David198502]

i expect nothing as well, but i would really like to see a hotfix, for the hurri start up problem, and the 109 control behaviour of the elevators and ailerons.
maybe the tree problem fixed as well.
well, but i doubt this will happen.

[Redroach]

let's keep it simple: nothing.

P.S.: What is it with those "Friday message threads?" People used to start such a thread, heavily demanding the "Friday message", at Fr. 00:01 (Zulu time) and loaded it up with their trash over the course of the day. This was followed by multiple (!) gruesome whine-threads if no message came, with the first ones starting at Sat. 00:01 (Zulu time).
But... Wednesday? Isn't that a bit over the top?

[JG52Uther]

You could just wait until Friday and see what happens.

[PotNoodles]

I expect nothing and then I won't be disappointed like I have been for the last 15 months.

perfect plan :D

[Feathered_IV]

I'm expecting some vague assurance that they are "working on it". Something about how they totally know how the 100 octane jobs don't work properly. Possibly a few lines too about how they closely follow what we write here and value our feedback etc. There is a pattern to the Friday 'updates'. I would not expect that to change for a good long while yet.

Spot on

[Dano]

Expect? Nothing substantial.

Want? Acknowledgement of the significant fps drop on some systems and that it is unexpected rather than a side effect of something else.

I have deleted a few posts. People are quite within the rules to have this type of conversation, but not when trying to derail the thread or stir things up.

I don't expect anything new for this Friday.

My post was a joke but I understand why it could be taken otherwise.

[d.burnette]

I will have to say, I have come to not expect anything. I don't even check it every Friday any more. I purchased CLOD about 3 months ago, after waiting to see how it progressed, and at that time it was starting to sound like a big patch that really made major improvements was about to be released. I got the sim installed, and controls all set up, and waited. Now here I am 3 months later still waiting. I don't really have the time available to participate in the beta testing of patches, so I will continue to wait until something official is released that makes the improvements that have been announced.

I don't really feel shorted or anything like that, I made the decision to purchase the sim at the time I did, having read up and knowing the shortcomings. I will continue to wait and check in every couple of weeks or so on it's progress. Which is fine , as my spare time in the summer is not much...

I expect some words about the recent problems, some screenshots, excuses, promises and some thank-you-for-replies in a certain mixture. In fact i dont understand very well why we dont have something like a readme, it sounds a little to me the devs cant remember precisely what is not fiddled with :)

Greetz, Allons!

[flyingblind]

An earful from the wife, 'You're not sat on that ******* computer again hoping for a patch?'

[Chivas]

I would expect a readme or some acknowledgment of the problems. I wouldn't expect any fixes as they can't be accomplished in a week, unless of course they were very close to completion before the last beta patch was release.

The graphic rewrite appears not to be going very well, and I would not be shocked if the beancounters pull the pin on the project, unless they have some inside information that these problems can and will be addressed soon. Although one of the main reasons for the graphic rewrite was to fix the CTD issues, which may have been accomplished for the majority of users. Any problems can be fixed if you have the time and money to do it, but time and money has to be in very short supply this late in development.

this is a simple post for tell opinions and expects, these are my expect
In my expect opinion I predict this Friday..
-will be proceeded by Thursday
-will be followed by Saturday

-whiners will whine if a patch is not released

That's asking a lot isn't it??? :)

[catito14]

Guys, we don´t have a readme, because if they say that they "fixed" or "improved" something before we test the patch, and then we realize that that fix is not there ... the complains will be much more terribles than now ... for that reason they put some "excuses" in order to release the readme after the patch, and after we report a lot of bugs, giving to them the info to put in the readme .... surely they will put that they fixed de tracers, and the sounds, and the clouds .... but they will say nothing about the hurri, fps, trees, etc ..... in summary, WE gave to them the info to put in the readme.

[ACE-OF-ACES]

Yes..

But if I am wrong.. folks will have bigger things to worrie about than my inacurate prediction ;)

[Pudfark]

I don't expect a ReadMe for an Alpha/Beta patch that is not working as it was supposed/intended.

The outlook for COD seems....gloomy at best, at this time.

Luthier has the ability to change this outlook at any time of his choosing.

I will wait a little bit longer.

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

Absolutley nothing!............but disappointment.

This is getting beyond a joke 1C,the other week you fed us some crap about not releasing the patch because you were'nt happy with it,yet when it did appear last Friday the Hurricane was left useless we could'nt even start the bloody thing.

The patch has introduced so many launcher crashes it's unbelieveable!and there is still grass in the blessed hangars!come on get it sorted.

I would love to know who is testing these patches that you release to us,as I cannot believe they have an ounce of visual awareness!.....who would release an update where you render one of the major aircraft USELESS!

Ok,there are some of the dedicated few on here who have found a way around these 'start up' problems with the Hurricane,but for Christ's sake we just want an aircraft that can be started without having to resort to black magic!

This Friday amaze us,surprise us,give us something that is truly flyable from start to finish.Last Friday I had four CTD's within an hour!

I don't need to see anymore screenshots of the sequel either,thanks but you need to sort out this mess first,and at present it is a big mess.

Yeah i am starting to loose faith. :(

[bongodriver]

Yep, whingeing was expected and this thread has been a catalyst.

[fox3]

Well how do you expect us to react after constant disapointment?

[bongodriver]

Exactly......by now everyone should be over the greiving process.

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

We are,now we're just seeing it as it is......laughable!

[bongodriver]

But nobody ever laughs

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

Your joking are'nt you?,after witnessing the content of the last two patches,how could you not find this amusing......surely you can't be taking this seriously.:lol:

[Flanker35M]

S!

Well at least this beta got me some crash dumps to send. Before I had none even the game crashed at times. Now it does more than before but most of the time gets a dump file to be sent to Luthier. So improvement I guess :)

Are you assuming everyone is having the same problems as you?

I wish I got paid every time I got called a troll.

[fox3]

I think they have done a good job so far it just the time its taking to fix things. :cool:

[bongodriver]

we live in a world where McDonalds is called a restaurant, everybody just want's service immediately to fit into their busy lives in front of the screen.

[Fjordmonkey]

But nobody ever laughs

I do, but that's due to the people that whine, bitch, moan and grip around here, AND say that they are leaving, stomping their little feet and generally throwing a temper-tantrum, but yet somehow, magically, stick around.

Ahem.

As to on-topic: What do I expect on friday? Nothing at all, actually. I've LONG since learned to not bother with expectations (they're useless, after all, and are in damn near all cases not even a close approximation of reality) through many years playing MMO's.

Then again, I know I will get to see the same post after post in thread after thread much of the same as every friday: post after post in thread after thread of the same, useless regurgitated griping, bitching and whining as every other friday.

In a sense, actually, I do have expectations for friday. And I'd say that I'm going to get those met to the 30th power. And then some.

[JG52Uther]

Well despite my best efforts its turned into another argument thread.Oh well.
