4.11 Development Update

[EJGr.Ost_Caspar]

The certain date is already over. Thats the problems with certain dates... you never can keep them.

We first aimed for Easter 2011... then rearranged everything and we didn't set a date for a long time, then we aimed for Chistmas, then for New Year and finally for the last weekend. Now... it still not there, each time some problems forced us to delay.
So how worth was a certain date then? See my point?

Stop to hurry DT!

I recall last time there was a pledge to make smaller, more frequent patches that were easier to compile. The urge to add "just that little bit more" must be strong.

Thanks for your answer Caspar! I got the point!

Indeed. But in fact some features need their long time development to be working to our standards... like 6DoF.

Well good on TD for that. I appreciate the thorough approach your team takes.

But one lingering question is how much do you learn/take from the modders and develop on your own?

And this matters why? As long as I get exhaust flames

I'd say, its a value of 5:95 %
The 5 % is work from 3rd party, which, if existant before as a mod, had to be reworked partially or completely in cooperation with us.
No mod ever was good or correct enough to be implemented right away. And in most cases, developing a feature on our own has proven to be the best, savest and fastest way.

Thanks for posting an answer. Just to be clear, I just wanted to know how much the modders influenced what was being made officially. Also, since we are getting the long needed "Drop on my command" radio call, is there a plan to modify formations of bombers to be like their real world counter parts?
