Nos jodemos otras "dos o tres semanas"
Everyone,
We appreciate (believe me, we really really do) the fact that you're all excited to finally fly the MiG-21. We're really excited for you to do so as well. The date range featured on our site was an Estimate based on projected time for development conclusion. It was kept vague, but still fairly specific to give you all a DECENT IDEA. We'd rather you be kept in the loop as best we can, but please don't abuse this. We should've made it more clear that it was an estimate. It's been a long road for everyone on the team (3+ years for some, from the initial MiG-21 builds). However, to ensure a smooth release and to bring this project to a succesful close, we need to be mindful of a lot of things. Tasks such as core integration or assuring that the product passes every level of rigorous QA are not easy nor are they to be taken lightly. I think everyone would be more disappointed with a genuinely flawed product rather than waiting a little longer. I have closed the Release thread as it's simply festering with misinformation and statements taken out of context. When we have a release date nailed down you will all be the FIRST TO KNOW. In closing; I would like to appeal for you all to take a moment and see this from a developers' perspective. I have spent the last year of my life without an income, all chips on the table for the DCS: MiG-21 to be a success. I try to spend every day not thinking about my rising debt. Don't think for a moment that we are not just as eager as you to release our maiden product. It not being out yet is not an attempt to personally anger you, even though it is seen as such by some. (much to our personal sadness). We will do things right the first time. No half-baking or rushed nonsense. In the end, that is what matters most. As I mentioned in the other thread: Update within a week, promo copies going out next week, and likely a livestream on Friday (4th). Thanks for reading and for your support, Team Leatherneck
