IF the team is working on the patch, you/Luthier can't pretend there's nothing to tell about it. That's just nonsense.
2 (or was it even 3) weeks ago you told us about a "last-minute issue" taking probably 2 more days to solve. Now it's 2 or 3 weeks? And there's nothing to tell?
February 17 we were told honestly:
"Graphics-wise, we’re dealing with a last-minute issue as we speak. We rather unexpectedly found a problem with our aircraft decals, i.e. the code that places crosses and roundels and chevrons etc on top of the aircraft paintscheme. The code is being rewritten, the work should be finished in about 2 days."

Then began the new problems and changes in the timing of release. We can promise something now, but the situation again. I don't see in it sense.

No worries BlackSix, it's ready when it's ready as far as I am concerned, I don't need somebody to hold my hand and whisper repeatedly in my ear for the understanding that it's being worked on to become apparent.

Blacksix,

There are many like me that don't feel negative about the current situation and really appreciated the BoM material you posted. Please don't put too much weight on comments from a vocal minority.

I know that good things can take time to develop, especially in a product this complex. Thanks also for taking the time to compile and pass on the feedback we posted.

Keep smiling.....

You can say that cause it's not your money depending on this "vocal minority" (as you call the majority)

The "majority" is patient waiting for the patch, only a impatient minority is vocalizing their discontentment, very often after a consent seems to be reached between forum and devs.

Let's face it. The majority that counts for the devs simply doesn't buy this piece of software because of the bad reviews. And please don't tell me that the reviews are fake or that the people are only whining.

This, finally, is the update. Very brief, but to the point:

Initially it was stated that the patch was ready and then a very minor sounding bug was found.

Now, we learn there are 'new problems.'

Of course this was suspected, but why not just say it in an update: 'We had thought we were very close but now are stuck on a few new problems that came up. Patch release postponed without a clear time frame known.'

That would have been a much better communication strategy. Not 'there is no information and you customers are too irritating to respond to until I feel like it.'

Because it would be too simple and make too much sense. Seriously though I agree here, keep the updates frank, clear and to the point and I bet there will be less confusion and uproars.
