Sitting right there on their hard drives. But releasing another beta patch for public testing is no go, because you know.. have to "assemble" it first, which will take a couple of months.

"This week we have completed all the planned work on the patch"...but not completed the internal testing.

Well, if you agree with that, quite a patience you have ... they finished the planned work (6 months) but they need assemble and then do the internal test? (when in the last update they said that they are almost ready to release the patch, but in an afternoon reunion decided to postpone a little bit)... then they do not finished the work, because the work includes the internal testing to see if all goes right.
They still kicking the ball forward, and fanboys buy the vapor

They have already released one alpha/beta patch that they worked a long time on, why would they walk away now? People need to put things in perspective, it's not like they are keeping oxygen from us.

Name something in that alpha patch that they "worked a long time on" that made you say "Ah! Excellent! They are on the right track!"

I honestly did not see one thing that was better in the alpha, and I even saw many things that were worse!

Exactly

I drop in here once a week to see if anything has happened and then potter off again. I'd be a proper twat to sit here fulminating and shouting about it all. Life is worth more than that. If it works, I'll be delighted. Thank God my life is more than getting angry at people about a flight sim.

Improved speed and less CTD for me, they completely rewrote the engine which is no small task. Yes features were missing but they should be added back with this patch.

If the "complete rewrite of the engine" was such a great deal, then tell me why it didn't solve any of the problems like micro stutter, performance hit by particle, cloud and grass? We got bit more fps, bit fewer micro stutter, performance hit by particle cloud and grass still there.

Features that caused the hickups were taken out and when we get more fps it's the "complete rewrite of the engine" ? Seriously ...

That's the really frustrating part...we will wait another three to four weeks for another alpha and it won't be much different from what we have now...bank on it.

Particles will always cause a hit to performance. The more there are in a scene, the lower the frame-rates. You can manage this by lowering graphics settings.
