On one hand, we complain about the missing features, on the other one we complain about the possibility of release getting pushed back probably to implement said features.

Is it just me or does it look like it's a case of either one or the other?

This reminds me of a short comic strip i once saw in Mad magazine. There's Darth Vader consulting with his imperial officers on the spaceship shipyard docks where the Death Star is being built and one officer goes:
"Lord Vader, to finish the Death Star within the specified deadlines would require the entire population of the empire, from prisoners to the emperor himself, to work 28 hours per each standard 24 hour day"

To which Darth responds "Make it happen... i'm a sadist, not a mathematician"

The game will be released when Oleg is satisfied that the compromises don't conflict with Oleg's uncompromising attitude towards quality. Now perhaps we should compromise our incomprehensible impatience with a bit of reason, and cut him some bloody slack.

I had the exact same thought. They really are damned if they do, damned if they don't...

There's no doubt in my mind that the sim community contains some of the whiniest, most pedantic, most self-righteous malcontents to be found anywhere on the internet.

speak for yourself there sir.

As far as i can see, no one here is complaining or getting hysterical. Its pretty much just a thread thats showing conflicting release dates (and the odd poster that has completely misunderstood the thread Altogether)

this isnt a 'fix this or that for me 1c' thread so stop acting like it is.

Never been on a firearms related forum have you?

Flight sim forums are kindergarten by comparison.

I'm the only person I ever speak for. I see people whining on these forums and others all the time (inadequate updates, missing/delayed features, release dates, etc.). I guarantee there will be whining if CoD is delayed, if it comes to that. It never ends. Heck, I'm whining about the whiners right now. There are several here that genuinely seem to think they're owed something.

That's actually where I spend most of my time. You've got bad elements anywhere you go, but I stand by my statement. Of course, that's not to say that the flight sim community doesn't also offer some of the best of what's to offer.
