What you are seeing here is the result of our scheduling and planning process. We have a high level feature and content set that we want to achieve for Star Citizen and Squadron 42. The first step is to break these features into higher level tasks with which we populate Microsoft Project, JIRA and Shotgun (the three tools we use for project scheduling and tasking). Then, as we approach a task, Production works with the relevant developer(s) to make sure the task is broken up with enough detail to allow completion. Sometimes this means adjusting the initial task estimate, as things tend to come into a clearer focus when coming up on a task, but it almost always means breaking down the big task into a bunch of smaller tasks that have their own individual sub tasks that possibly are distributed to multiple developers.

Both tasks and sub-tasks get created in JIRA, linked under an Epic (which is a high level task or feature) and are then pulled into Microsoft Project to manage with granular detail providing us global visibility through Gantt charts and visual timelines. No developer works on a task unless it has been created in JIRA, prioritized and assigned by a lead or a member of the Production Team.

Then as the developers work on the tasks, Production will adjust the schedule and JIRA tickets to reflect the work being done.

In the schedule below, you will first find a master schedule that covers the broad departments/disciplines that are being developed. Each department will then have its own dedicated sub-schedule, briefly explaining the various features that are being developed and their current status.

Good, they're almost done with NETWORK. That should fix all the lagging. They still have some work to go with GAMECODE but I can tell that they made some strides with MISCELLANEOUS and OTHER THINGS so we can cross those off the list.

Tasks that delay beyond our target dates might cause the release of 2.6.2 to be delayed, or might be excluded from 2.6.2 if appropriate to maintain the release date target.

pffft, What are the odds this game could possibly delayed again. I trust this schedule whole wholeheartedly.

What I look for in patch notes is things that aren't included and even if they were wouldn't do anything and literally no one cares. I definitely don't look for voluminous tomes like ED or FFXIV patch notes which describe huge additions and game changing changes in one line yet still manage to be 50 pages long.

Flying in a bomber was fun as hell, taking control of the various guns on a B-17...

That's why a game like Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 was, and still is, awesome as well. If it had the same appeal as War Thunder you'd see massive bomber formations with dozens of individual gunners and flak bursts blowing up people and...

:sigh:

I miss the good ole days of 1946 sometimes.

If you had told a backer around Gamescom that 2.6.2 wouldn't be released until March, they'd flip their poo poo and call you a troll.

Played that on the Mega Drive. Good game, but weirdly the instruction manual included basically a complete walkthrough for the game.

I had Starflight on the Megadrive too. That game gave me a healthy appreciation of how terrifying high gravity planets would be. Was pretty entertaining to send my vessel into a crushingly high gravity planet and try and struggle against the inevitable pressure death.

Pelican Dunderhead: Jun 16, 2010; Ah! Hello Ershin!; Pillbug

The only flying game I've ever played is Pearl Harbor Zero Hour, my dad probably got it from an elementary school book sale almost 20 years ago.

It had a UFO and F16 which were unlockable by clicking on a plane in the background of the title screen.

It's probably way more fun that star citizen will ever be

e: other family pc games we had included zoombinis logical journey, a math blaster haunted house game, and I think oregon trail 3?

fc3 is pretty much the best value for money in DCS, good choice. if you ever decide to step the spergery up a notch, consider the A-10C. amazing level of detail and the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT is glorious. if you have a wingman to play with you can also do cool stuff like sharing targets / POIs with the datalink, etc.

Gluten is amazing thickening agent. Next time you're cooking a stew try adding a small teaspoon of floor near the end, it will make a mindblowing gravy.

Seems like they are hitting their dates for 2.6.1 and 2.6.2, development must be picking up...

*releases patch for a feature that was supposed to be in the game over three months ago*

The are really stretching out what they are working on for 2.6.2. 5 out of 8 categories are bugfixing and one is non-16:9 monitor support...

The FC3 has the A-10 included which is why I got it. I am still doing the training modules to learn how to get it off the ground. I plan on getting into the Operation Blue Flag games once I get the hang of it. This game is not forgiving in any way and I am dying to BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT all over the place once I do.

Nope, this is what the production schedules have looked like since day one. The backers have been celebrating this for the last 4, or 5 months now. It's the most open development ever, and if you question it you are a troll and a terrible human being.

If SC gets released and is a not-poo poo game? Hell yeah I'd buy back in.

I love that the ONLY POSSIBLE REASON why we could be following SC is because we're obsessed fans who desperately want back in, and not because it's a hilarious shitshow.

As somebody who has never "been in" I confirm my only interest is watching the explosion. Though if it's a good game I'll buy it. If it's just passable I'll buy it just so they can be happy. :homebrew:
