A lot of you people need to get a serious grip on reality.


Of all the people that have posted, you seem to have the least grip on reality. Calling the issues "a few hiccups" shows that you quite clearly have no comprehension of what is actually happening.

A flight sim is basically a giant collection of effects and graphical representations to enable a 3rd party to experience flight. 90% of those very essential effects are not going to pass a test geared towards strobe sensitivity and epilepsy.

The last 4 months or so that should have been used to go full speed and implement, correct, and optimize features that were advertised as in the game were actually spent ripping them out and replacing them with a lesser placeholder. When it became obvious that the amount of work that was needed to individually fix these issues was not available, this "filter" was added to get past the "test" and hopefully get the game at least released. Now, assuming that 1C and Ubi keep funding, and the developers keep developing, it will take many months of work to replace all the issues in the game so that the filter can be removed.

Lets all be optimistic and say they are able to get the funding to keep running and fixing, when they are done, the filter will be removed, and the game will NOT be the game we have been looking at. All those effects so crucial to flight sims will have been removed..

And remember also, that the game is a mess because of the time they wasted trying to implement it in the first place...so now they need to divide resources between fixing obvious issues with the Sim, and ripping out things that will enable the filter to be removed eventually..

This is in no way a trivial issue..

I'm sure the Dev crew is devasted after the time, effort, and stress they had to deal with to get this close to finally releasing it only to have their plans dashed at the last minute..

Don't be shocked if this doesn't end up like Falcon 4.0 did.. never finished..
