Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[Kwiatek]

As i said implement FOV=100 ( stock is 90) in game would change thing a lot. Actually there is a need to used external soft FOV changer to have real Widescreen view in game without losing any part of view ( like in 4:3). SO implement FOV=100 and also some things from Widescreen Mod ( like new map, menu etc) will give us real widescreen option. I think it shouldn't be so hard if it was alread done by some moders.

S!

Interesting subject, but I expect to hear on the 4.10 news here


It would be time we have any probable date of release

It would be time we have any probable date of release

TD will probably release it when it's ready. They probably shouldn't have given an expected release date in the first place. They probably won't make the same mistake again...

They probably should release it if they said they would. Project management would PROBABLY help on the next release. Free time or not, if you say your going to do it then do it. it is called accountability.

...it is called accountability

And who exactly are TD accountable to?

Given the attitude of some people, I could understand it if they said '*** the lot of you, if you can't do anything but moan, we'll find something else to do with our free time'...

[BadAim]

Accountability is probably the first and foremost reason that this project is running late. These men are accountable to their families, their jobs, and to their real world commitments as well as their own desire to put out a top quality product well before any need to pacify entitlement age twits who need to have everything they want immediately.

So,because of that,I can give a suggestion.

Call me anything for saying this,but an open Beta would be the solution.
We get what we want,and we report any problem if we find them.
Hundreds of people looking for bugs in a world (literaly) looks more eficcient than a few dozens that unfortunately doesn´t have enough time.

BTW,say anything,but not that I mean TD is incompetent and useless.

Amen

I think you are just overexaggerating a little bit. There are many people in the world who provide free softwares (including games, and big ones in our genres) or other stuffs. They also have their daily obssession. But once they made a promise, they would try their best to fulfill it. It is called responsibility, which has nothing to do with money. One should be responsible to what he/she said. They should try hard to live up to their promise. Just imagine how the world will become if everyone doesn't care about what he/she said.

Making promise gives other people hope, which is also a pleasure. Fullfilling it will greatly delight yourself and those people even more. So don't give people pleasure and then destroy it.

Make a promise, and live up to it. Or don't make any at all.

Thank you, I wouldn't say it better myself. Also as we tried to explain several times, the schedule posted was provisional and yes, we have changed too many things compared to the original intended content for 4.10.

Open beta - no added value for TD or IL-2 fans. We are aware of the issues, it takes time to polish/fix them. Minor bugs we may not catch will be addressed via dedicated bug reporting thread and fixed in 4.11.

I guess it will need to be repeated on weekly basis and even though it has been said in this thread already:

Lesson learned from 4.10 development however: To release much smaller and less complex patches with small content in the future = less complaining and less work for us.

4.10 Update: We have initiated another round of beta testing last week. Still things to do, but it's another step closer.

Thanks for patience and do enjoy the summer till it lasts.
