IL2: Forgotten

[Skoshi Tiger]

Before a software company can hand out a free update, they need to have a steady income. It just doesn't make sense at this stage to disrupt development of a new sim that will bring income into the company to make finish work that will not.

Do a search on this forum to see all the issues people have found with the 4.09 Beta, then guestimate the man hours neaded to fix these issues and times that by the wage of a professional programmer. Thats how much it'll cost to release this FREE add-on!

I asked this on the last 4.09 thread and I'll ask again -

Is it possible to have an updated 4.09 beta with the corrected versions of the maps? This should require minimal effort on behalf of the 4.09 team, and will allow mission-builders to utilise the new maps knowing that their work won't be undone when the final 4.09 is released.

I think this is the least the 4.09 team can do to keep most of us happy without distracting them from BoB/Galba. It's very frustrating having the maps available but being inhibited from using them, knowing that certain key features have been changed, and also knowing that the corrected versions are sitting on the shelf when we could have them now.

It's not so much that 'x' is missing or porked that I complain about. In fact I've never asked for a tweaked plane etc. since it is all the same for everyone.

The Maps is what I want to use and build stuff with On-line.

A beta server patch would be great at least we could make sure it works prior to closing the door on Maddox sanctioned IL2 Development.

It's BS plain and simple and yet another example of how the business is broken. Captive audience willing to wait forever with little or no information concerning the product other than "too busy"

Heck it's like dropping your car off at the garage for them to keep it for 5 months while they work on everything around it telling you all the while. "Sorry, too busy to get to it"..

All these third parties put a hell of allot of work into what they made Map wise. It's a damn shame Oleg can't show enough consideration to pack the items up and fork them over finished. Shame, Shame, they pick up your slack Oleg and all you do is poo on them.. But would you expect less from that side of the curtain.

Oleg knows that if you guys get 4.09 you will just be whining for a 4.10 and more planes.
