As in, will work on the patch resume sometime soon?

I can not say more than Ilya said here:

We can not leave the game without the support, the patch will be released regardless of the development of the sequel.

As soon as the good news - I'll let you know immediately.

Thank you for the info about the patch B6.
The future for this sim though is looking gloomy though

Thx for all your support B6.

Will we get the patch either before christmas or before the end of January?

If its not till the end of January I can bang some overtime in at the weekends.

Why? We will have a patch, we will have a sequel, so what's wrong?

Sorry to push it but can we expect the patch for Xmas or should we expect the patch next year?

Well, I think it's lost in translation somewhat, but B6 said "the patch will be released regardless of the development of the sequel." which could be construed to mean that there might not be a sequal at all... (Which means we'll all be flying 109Es and the Spit Ia until we all lose interest or go back to 1946!)

Have to say though that I'm more concerned about this unexplained delay (not due to coding issues or finances we have been told) than about some of the other panics that have flared on the forums in the last year.

I understand the incessant pressure from members here for news, but all too often the devs seem to end up shooting themselves in the foot by making some announcement, creating anticipation and excitement and then...squandering that excitement and enthusiasm by not handling whatever delays or difficulties are encountered very well.

The current situation is a good example. The information blackout as to the true situation probably has good reasons behind it, but as public relations it is pretty disastrous.

I realise there is an element of 'damned if they do, damned if they don't' here, but as a fan of this game it is discouraging to see good news and good will too often squandered by poor communication of the (often inevitable) difficulties encountered in developing complex software.

---really wanted to make it clear that the above isn't any kind of criticism of BlackSix and his attempts to keep us informed, for which I'm as grateful as anyone. It's more the decisions higher up the chain that cause the problems
