S!

The delay will not exist if DT had not scheduled a date for its release.

If they had just announced a future release without an scheduled set for others patchs, there would be no such anxiety...

This is an error that can be highlighted (mainly because of it squads, like mine, have taken some important decisions ). The problem is not the delay itself, which is normal in softwares developments ...

Doesn't look like it.

Given the amount of work that DT have already put in to the 4.09 and 4.10 patches, the idea that they won't release 4.10 is utterly ridiculous: they've already told us that it is in the final debugging stages, and that Oleg is looking at the Guide to give final approval.

The extent they will be inclined to do more after this patch is possibly questionable, given the attitude of some of the ungrateful whining brats who frequent this forum, who clearly think their clueless drivel is of any significance. It isn't. Nothing you say is going to make anything happen sooner, though keep it up and things may not happen at all.

I think the right person to ask now about patch 4.10 is Oleg M.

DT wrote here that they finished 4.10 patch and sended it to Oleg M. for accept. Since these time there is no info about patch relase and silence.

So i think that Oleg M. for some reason dont allow them to relase patch.

What is a reason we could only think.

So now the right person to ask for patch 4.10 delay is not DT ( who made their homework) but rather Oleg M. ?

So maby community should aks Oleg M. why he is delaying any info and relase of patch 4.10 which i belive is very good work of DT and hope for making some improvements for these old game? MAby too good or too many improvements?

Pretty much agree with you. The full 4.09 patch was an astonishing bonus, which I had fair given up on ever seeing. But then I looked back on the fora after a gap of about a year and hey presto, this mysterious cabal of fab fanatics Team Daidalos had materialised and, in a rush of enthusiasm, had completed the patch - the file growing from the beta by around a half in the process. I was - and remain - in clover. I love the Me 410 and fly it almost exclusively. Thank you TD for including it - and the modellers for creating it.

I what they may now be regretting as wild optimism, TD then published an intention to supply a regularly-spaced sequence of further patches. The projected content of 4.10 seems to have grown enormously since then and fair gobbled up their projected timetable. It sounds almost like as serious a step-change as from FB+AEP+PF to 1946.

We cannot complain at all. I suspect though that TD may be slightly regretting not better managing expectations. Another contributor recently asked TD whether they could state when the patch will NOT be issued - as in "not this week" or "not before Christmas", for example. There may be some mileage in this approach.
