They could at least give the year the patch might be released

Honestly, Discussing a sequel doesnt make much sense when the prequel doesnt work... With nothing concrete to latch onto...this just looks like all smoke and mirrors at this point.

Guess we will have when when we have it...but all bets are off when Andromeda and the Milky Way collide.

Finally, is the "unexpected new feature" the same "amazing new Top Secret feature that will be a first in the industry?" The one that Luthier teased us with five months ago. All a bit squirly if you ask me. Note to MG...I think we can only handle one promised ground-breaking feature at a time.

We shouldn't have to be told that we may not see a 100% increase in fps, these are just beta tests, on a specific system, and will ALWAYS be different on different systems and ALWAYS subject to change. The unexpected feature might be amazing to some and not so much to others. Some will find something to positive to say others not so much.

I understand the reasoning or justification of not saying anything, but doesnt ake it any easier, especially with how this game has been handled, oh well.. just keep on keeping on...

I agree its been a long wait with countless setbacks. I remember being totally pissed when BOB was delayed because Luthier need help finishing Pacific Fighters. I feel your pain.

When you see the potential in this game, thats what makes it hurt so much lol

Not for Cliffs of Dover.

Does this mean there will be no 100 octane for BoB or that some aircraft will have it but they will not have an 87 octane option (like when you out the Rotol prop on the Spit Ia but could not have the DH)?.

1+++. This is the root of much of the frustration. We've been looking forward to this sim for years...after countless delays get an unfinished product...and the next beta is a complete mystery in terms of content and timing. But we get images from the sequel and it’s a plane that most outside Russia would never want to fly. I bought the game and will keep watching and hoping for real progress but all the missteps have left me quite skeptical.

Thanks for the update! The new beta benchmarks sound very promising!

You wont get anything more of an update until it's ready for release, thank the community for that and move on, it's getting tiresome reading how peeved you are at it now, we know.
