May be as simple as publisher contracts preventing this, and the issue of handling a huge number of bug reports/feature requests/complaints that can be expected.

Is here still someone beleving on the easter Bunny ??

We've already had this party in the past muffinmn100, and as Tree says, no chance at all.

I do not believe in the easter bunny but I do believe in his chocolate bunnies

I did that for DCS and can't even run the damn game despite being already Beta 5.. index errors and whatever all over. The experience has really spoiled the A-10 wait on my behalf.

I prefer to wait for the final release whenever it's ready. If we're looking at end of Q2 2011 or later release I'm curious what's Oleg's motivation of giving any 'Were very very close' etc messages at all as his ability to predict release dates is about as bad as it comes in the gaming industry.

False hope is a terrible thing and makes the wait even tougher. I'm happy with friday updates and the dialog with development team and then come up with a date when you got the package wrapped in plastic in your hands ready to be shipped to stores.

I still however hope that the I'm proven wrong and that our understanding of 'very close' is similar and we'll see the release in Q1.

Oleg was just one of us, a combat flight simmer, not a big development firm. He thought he could do a better job and brought us along for the ride. There would have been many days he wished he never bothered, as there is a vocal few who will never understand the amount of work involved. But he has a very thick skin.
