Usually the content is not the problem... it's the bug testing. And 4.10 has so many new features that there has been quite a bit of bug testing. So really it's not just a matter of slapping some content in and calling it a day (making it easy to pull stuff out and release). Really have to make sure that all of the ducks are in a row. Nobody wants a buggy release that causes all kinds of problems for lots of people. Then it's just not worth it ... no matter how much everyone wants it right now.

I think people will be quite satisfied when the release finally comes. I'm hoping it's soon... I've got a campaign release that I'm holding off on until some of the new features make a showing.

You guys really should consider releasing a separate "missions and campaigns" bonus patch with each iteration (4.10, 4.11, 4.12 etc.)

I really liked have the Bi-1 and the I-16 micro-campaigns in the first couple of patches released for Il-2. It really helped you get into the new airplanes. Even if it is just three high-quality missions strung in a row, it is a lot better than the dozen new planes added to QMB (which I generally ignore) and half a dozen missions (which aren't enough to get a feel for the aircraft involved and are thus forgettable) that we got with AEP and PF.

My suggestion: Recruit three or four mission builders to the beta team (maybe it will even speed up the beta to have novel missions focussing on the new features).

Just a plug for a good, old and forgotten feature.

Sounds like a really good idea! I've been having the same thoughts myself.

If I was good at building fun/memorable missions I would totally jump on this

[Tempest123]

Yeah, I agree with this idea, I would definitely be willing to volunteer my time to make some deomstration missions for new content.
