Quick update from the frontlines, 4.36
-
<p>Wew seems like my specs are alright for 4.37, I’m not planning to upgrade in at least 3 or so years</p>
-
<p>@Seifer <br />Thank you for the news. Always much appreciated. Make time for the next release as we already have a very busy winter session with 4.35. As for me, if 4.36 was released only this summer, it would be fully appreciated. Do not rush anything, already you have all my gratitude for this enormous work that you are already doing.<br /><br /></p>

<p>is the paper work done? :)<br /></p>

<p>@vfp <br />All new ITO airport diagrams have been completed as required with vectorial process (very high quality diagrams).<br /><br />For IAC, SID diagrams, I currently don’t have enough informations, tools and accurate data to proceed. But I continue to work and get some data. I will soon have more info from ITO theater project manager to obtain some specifics informations and for proposals at some aspects of the charts. <br /><br />My virtual squadron is currently on a 21st international dogfight championship with BMS 4.35 U3. Lot of work for now. I will be back in 2 weeks on the project…<br />Have a nice day!<br /></p>

<p>@101-Spyder with whom from the ITO team have you coordinated?<br /><br />I hope there is no double work being done.<br /><br />@Micro_440th FYI</p>
-
<p>@MaxWaldorf I’m in touch with @101-Spyder since some weeks. All is coordinated with Vaicon :-)</p>

<p>Is there any news on 4.36? Did the dev team forget hahaha</p>
-
<p>@asleepwater thanks, now resetting 3-4 weeks… geez </p>

<p>@asleepwater no we don’t…<br /></p>

<p>Another quick update, since I mentioned we would release by mid march. Again, I missed. Despite that, while I am on the team I will never give up reaching the deadline: it is important to get some concrete progress and get to a finished state product, otherwise we just keep adding stuff and we never reach a stable state.<br /><br />So, what happened since my last update?<br /><br />The quick answer is: too many serious bugs. More than we expected. Some CTDs were freaking hard to understand, some heisenbugs that rarely happened and more… sigh… race conditions.<br /><br />On the bright side, we also added one cool last minute change related to IR displays, but this also added to the delay.<br /><br />Please, believe me, we have been working very hard. That is also one of the reasons you are not hearing much from me here lately (aside from the fact that I was on vacation as well).<br /><br />The concrete news is that we built a RC yesterday (so far, so good, 4 MP bear trap missions, all worked as expected with lots of action). There are minor bugs, but those can wait. Fingers crossed all goes well with this RC and final testing works as expected.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>@Seifer <br />Thanks a lot. Not just for this update, but because you’re keeping on being frank and honest.<br />About the release date… <em>“Chistmas will come at its own day, not before nor after”.</em><br /><br />With best wishes to you and all the devs. and the beta testing crew, and best regards.</p>

<p>@LorikEolmin As a very, very low level coder I can only imagine the headaches of overcoming this (and no doubt the satisfaction when you do) and commend all the devs for the untold hours they put in on what is obviously a labour of love for them. THANK YOU ALL!!</p>

<p>@Seifer Amazing effort. We’re patient; after all, this is a free update to a free mod. Still boggles my mind the amount of talent going into this. Thank you all.</p>

<p>I just started a 4.35 campaign a couple of weeks ago and getting amazed with what included in 4.35 now. <br />I can wait even a half year for 4.36 release.<br />Thank you for your efforts. Please take time as long as you want and need.<br /><br /></p>
