Also... ED stopped giving dead lines a good while ago.
Really?

In parallel we continue to work on the F/A-18C Hornet. We are currently working on the cockpit and setting up its functionality. Later in 2016 we plan to release the Hornet as an "Early Access" product that will allow you to participate in early testing.
In the first half of 2016, several new 3rd party aircraft modules will also be launched. These include the F-5E Tiger II by Belsimtek, the SA342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations, and the AJS-37 Viggen by Leatherneck Simulations.
We see 2016 as a big year for aircraft carrier operations as we plan to release both Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier modules.

DCS World 2.5 is still on track to be available in 2016.
Sounds like deadlines to me! Let's see.... just a little less than 4 months to go for 2.5 and the Hornet. Anyone holding their breath?
Okay, so we're now shifting the goalposts from "ED did not announce deadlines" to "ED's definition of 'deadline' is different from the rest of the English-speaking world."
So.... two questions for you, Sobek: 1. Where exactly can one get "ED's definition of a deadline"?? 2. Where in those newsletters have they been "very vocal about the possibility that it might not be accurate"??
Quoting "later" and "in the first half" is an estimate in itself and they've given themselves quite a big leeway just quoting a year, AN ENTIRE YEAR!!! for their projections. Anyone holding their breath that ED makes their projections?
