How? Maybe they had hardware that shares the trait thats similar to mine . I haven't been experiencing the CTD.

I guess that why he said thanks to the people who sent in their dump files!

Cheers!

1. Im not even going deep into the current state of the game thing, which is progressing and yet has lots of issues, I understand about this being is a flight sim, the niche, the way this genre is supposed to work, but none of that takes away the fact that WE ALL PAID FOR THE GAME AND ITS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS AND THE GAME DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. This is not that much about saying thank you to luthier, but both thanking each other, the game would be nothing without us the customers (nothing without luthier and the team obviuosly), It is perfectly logical to demand for a 100% working game, we ALREADY paid.

WE USED MONEY!!! AND IM NOT GETTING WHAT I WANT.. WHAT AM I GONNA DO.

slave to the money.

Actually you might...

What if you didnt have the resources or time or parts yet to do a whole engine rehaul? Then why just wait and not do anything else until you get those things fixed. Thats just a waste of time.

little updates like these are much appreciated.

same root cause maybe?

Thanks for the update.

All I can say is, take your time, get it right, one more month doesn't really matter if the result is what you feel you can be happy with. I trust you guys (devs) are as passionate about this most ambitious sim as the community is.

Not overly impressed with the update to be honest. Could you please comment on what specific things will be fixed in the next update even if they can't yet be released? Comms, AI, SLI/crossfire etc?

"...but considering this forum’s special relationship with the word “tentative” I’m not going to say what it is..." The patronising tone is not helpful, especially considering 1C's breathtaking extension of the 'release early and patch' model which was actually 'release early and complete'.

You need a customer base to sell your expansion to in the coming months. Basic marketing strategy should tell you that repairing the relationship with the customer base is a top priority even at the cost of a slight delays. It really doesn't take that much time...
