Ok. I am just anxious for this patch. And this unpredictable release date "kills" me. Its frustrating... Always ll be people complaining, its part of the challenge.

I offer myself as beta-tester, give me a pay pal account and i ll make a contribution, but do not last much longer. Please!!!

You must understand all previous frustrating experiences, waiting news for long years.

be patient people

Real life must come first

Also the longer the wait, the more rewarding the patch will be.

What kind of update they mean?New content or a note of how the work is going?

[IceFire]

Quick notes always work for me. Something along the lines of ... "hey folks we're still doing some work on the patch."

Remember... we aren't paying... they are doing this for the good of everyone. Be patient... not the end of the world here

I'm sure all of your respective wives/girlfriends would love to have some of your time right about now because when 4.10 comes out they will have less

Everyone needs to chill. These guys are putting their sweat into their work, and all you can say is "faster"

His list has surely a merit: it helps visualize easily the raw number of aircraft operated by the combatants in WWII. Now, there’s nothing wrong in asking for a Meteor, and even less if a member of Daidalos Team has his own favourite plane and makes it a flyable addition even if it’s a minor or irrelevant type. But when we talk of the whole Il2 as a WWII sim, we should consider the whole picture.

American bombers in the Pacific offer a classic example: two types were used operationally against Japan, the B29 and the B32, but 99,999% of sorties were flown by B29, the B32 contribution to war effort being absolutely irrelevant. Now, look at the list of planes presently available, both AI and flyable. I don’t have precise numbers (probably nobody can have them), but my feeling is that our available planes cover more than 70% of total combat missions flown, and most of the remaining were probably flown by British night bombers. So, if we look at the relevant combat planes only, the list of types needed is really short (in my opinion).
American types: B26 Marauder and SB2C Helldiver.
British types: Lancaster and Wellington, possibly Halifax.
German types: He177.

As you can see, all are bombers, and some big ones. It would be wise to ask for them in AI only version.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!! someone expressing the dissapointment to a non historical implementation of new models

What makes you think you are the father, Bf-110?

It appears that possibly either TD misjudged the time necessary for beta testing, or they have discovered significant problems in the process. Either way, I'd give them due credit for the work they've put in, and accept that we will have to wait - I think that their attitude, that it needs sorting out before release, rather than rushing to meet a deadline, is one that commercial developers should take heed of. The very fact that they aren't subject to commercial pressures may result in a better patch. If you'd rather have it now than have it fixed, have a look at what happened with Silent Hunter 5 - a promised patch delivered late, that doesn't fix half the issues.

TD: We all understand the amount of work you need to do and respect your work. But could you respect us as users and give us at least just information, no pictures no video, just the state of the 4.10 patch. WHat is already done what is in progress and what is left to do. Just a few rows of text.
Thank you.
