Just digging up this old post to clarify, in case I'm just not msireading you, that the A-10A included in FC3 is not the same as the A-10C sold sperately. The "A" is the same simplifed level sim as the rest of FC3, the "C" is full sperg-level sim with a 600 page manual.

Also DCS: AJS-37 Viggen is out, and at 59.99$ it's quite an expensive jpg. I was sorely disapointed however to find that not only did it slot flawlessly into an already working game full of content, it neither deskeletonized you nor dumped your twitching body in mid-air. I feel cheated compared to SC :mad:

Well... that was the JA-37 Viggen not the AJS, so prepare to be disapointed in that regard. The AJS has only two measly old-model Sidewinders for AA. But it has Robot 15, and BK90 :)

True enough. What is it with DCS and ground attack, anyway?

And why isn't it on Steam yet? Everything sucks!

That's the A-10A. Like all FC3 planes its systems are really simplified. In the A-10C, you can switch every tiny little button in the cockpit, and it does what it does in reality. All systems are 100% simulated (sans stuff that is still classified). As I said, quite spergy, but really satisfying once you get the hang of it.

Like a SC article, the comments are always the best part.

- didn't have worstershire sauce so I used ponzu to replace the soy and worstershire.

- I should have noted that I had to leave the potatoes out of the recipe - family members can't have them. If this is what caused the stew to be thin ?

- Why not star anise for umami?



Also i would use boiled beef bones in the broth instead of the gelatin. Taste more "meaty".

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.

Now, it's Thursday.

Heh.

Schedule report is out. Mar 23rd is the target date. :D

9 more months to 3.0 :D

Remember back when I said 3.0 didn't even exist? So now, by end of Q1/17, backers get 2.6.2.

The biggest issue here is that croberts inadvertently set them up to fail. Right off the bat.

Once money started rolling in, the pressure to produce goes up. Then once Nov 2014 was missed (by 28 months now) - and more money came in - the pressure increased exponentially.

So of course the longer it takes, the more it costs. The more it costs, the more money they will need to raise. The game isn't finished, so they can't monetize it. So they monetize the concept and ship sales. And that in turn adds more pressure because backers then get even more nervous.

Then croberts goes on the record and says they will need on-going funding to finish the game. And if that doesn't happen, at least they will have enough to finish SQ42. A game which isn't even close to the Star Citizen (aka PU) that backers put all this money in.

The schedule is a clear indication that the game is a long - long - way off. Which is why they dare not be truthful about it, nor release the "real" internal schedule.

Which is why this statement in the schedule is patently FALSE

quote:

IV.Internal schedules, the ones you will now be privy to, tend to have aggressive dates to help the team focus and scope their tasks, especially in the case of tech development. Every team, even a team blessed with the kind of support and freedom you have allowed us, needs target dates in order to focus and deliver their work.

For the above to be true, that would mean there is no 3.0 schedule because that build doesn't exist. If it does in fact exist, why is it not in the public schedule that they're claiming backers are now "privy" to?

...then there's my recap.

If they manage to finish SQ42 but not SC, how could they justify having charged hundreds or thousands of dollars for what would amount to DLC for a single player game?

The shitizen's got a point here, how is it possibly fair to let the game speak for itself?

Frontier = Money grubbing due to charging a reasonable fee for new game content for their released game to expand the experience.

CIG = Perfectly legit and upstanding, charging $100's (even $1000's) for indiviual ships with no game to use them in.
