Most of us paid for the pre-order because Oleg assured us that the 25th of March was SOLID.
None has flamed the dev's at all, and you are the only one perpetuating the Flight Simmer stereotype, i think that its bullshit tbh, as this FS community that I have been in and around since the first years of the internet is one of the more mature communities there is.
99% of the crap is by people who have nothing to do with the community. I've seen them enter the forums about a month before every new flight sim that ive been following and stir this sorta crap up.
It doesnt happen when there is plenty of info exchanged between the dev's and community sadly as the heat has turned up, the communities questions havent been answered as frequently this time which has helped lead to this situation.
Not sure what has happened this time but its not off the greatest of starts.
The game simply wasn't ready for release. They've been optimizing the sim until the last minute to get every last frame they can squeeze out of it. When you change things you can create bugs. Delays in the gold release causes delays all the way down the line for downloads, advertising, pressing, shipping etc. Its impossible to give a solid release date in this situation. If everything went well they may have made a March release, but it didn't.
