Relax Merlin.

All things in time.

I can understand the frustration,it is annoying when a question cannot be answered.I think it is a case of Oleg himself doesn't know.
He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't really.If he states a time and it doesn't happen well he will be slagged off and he also then puts himself under more pressure and may release something incomplete that for an extra 3 months could be so much better.
Enjoy the journey,sometimes it' s better than the destination.
IF Oleg does give a release date i hope it is really ready and bug free and fully working before the announcement is made.

Trumper pretty much nailed it there. "Bug Free".

We'll all moan if the Sim is buggy, crashes, graphically glitched etc, etc.
I too really want this Sim now, but look if this arrives and it needs patch after patch to make it playable, can you imagine how many posts there would be on this forum alone saying that they had released an incomplete product, we are Beta testers, they stole my money......etc,etc (again).

I appreciate that Oleg and his team are working away to make it 'perfect' and just look at the responses to last-week's update regarding the colour of the flame. That's just the colour of the flame!!!! Can you imagine how many even smaller/larger details they have to contend with and which will be moaned about if slightly inaccurate on release?

So, Oleg, take your time, get it right, but I would ask.....if at-all possible, maybe a Spitfire V 109 Beta/test map released for users to try as at-least this would be a possible 'open source' test for user feedback before the final release.

I don't expect the latter to occur, but when it comes out......I'll raise a glass to Oleg and the crew for all their dedicated work and patience listening to whine after whine on these forums and yet still coming up with what should/will be the best Flight Sim, Combat or Civilian, ever created.
