There is lot more fixes than in that list. (one special ed way to make things )

27 bug fixes.....only 4266 to go......

Source

One of those 4266 bugs is the Memory leak.

There is more than 27 fixes , they are not in change log.

Yellow fog is fixed. Etc..

Where is the source for every bug fix? Surely the source for every bug fix will not total 4265 including the yellow fog. Lighting fixed at night inside aircraft, airports and cities?

I would test it myself but I am not paid to be an 'official tester' or 'community manager' who enthusiastically test\monitor issues with ED\TFC\Belsimtek
perhaps if there is a spot at ED\TFC\Belsimtek for a whinger, AND it is a paid position....I may also quit my day job and get 'on the books'

Surely if employing a full time (paid mind you) 'moderator\community manager' is more important than employing someone with skills to read lua, c++ etc, build maps, 3d texture etc etc I am surely in with a chance.

So sithspin has been employed, paid, by ED? That in itself shows EDs total lack of respect for their customers.

hotfix released to cure some serious bugs eg not being able to fly aircraft you have paid for ......

........ but this was introduced https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=204551

No buildings in Neveda lol

wow!! just Wow

Who is doing the testing for these guys? Stevie wonder?

I had the problem where none of my FC3 aircraft are authorised and so are disabled, then they put out a patch that ac tually makes thinks worse. Oh My.

Way to go ED

At least the waterline for Amphibious vehicles was fixed

SD

That raises the question, if ED test anything at all.
What a joke!

time taken to load a quick start Neveda map and discover something was missing ..... literally 30 seconds

And how did THAT get past testing? I'm glad to see ED still does the 2 steps forward, 3 steps back routine! Who said only Falcon had a Falcon dance?

Read the newsletter today re: Hornet progress..... still no word on the A-G radar. Still working on the A-A radar. At this rate, the Hornet will probably be out a year before the A-G radar is released to the public, and who want's to bet it'll have weird bugs with it? Like if you go to A-G mode with the speedbrakes open, your next door neighbor will cluck like a chicken for 3 hours.

.....Don't lose hope people, everything is OK, BIGNUTJOB says so



Source before it is lost into the abyss

+1 funny as


I like this weeks newsletter,

"team are hard at work"

to

"How good is this hornet that we are working on. Systems, navigation blah blah blah"

to me that reads, "all of our resources are directed to the hornet so that we can release it in it's bugged state to take the emphasis off how p!ss poor the 2.5OB has been"

What's that?

"we believe we have largely addressed these issues" then "Work on memory issues is still ongoing"

They're using the phrase "addressed these issues" to mean they've acknowledged that the issues exist, but they've not really done anything to address/resolve the issue. ED double-speak at it's finest!

This would be funny in a Laurel and Hardy way if it wasnt so painfully pathetic. What a bunch of clowns. Talk about incompetence. Just when you think they can't get any worse.

People it is a beta, This is the way betas go. Relax and take pill.

Hello and welcome to SimHQ!
Now who might you be?

Yes and if it was just little nigglie things but it has major issues. How is that 2 weeks going?

Folks its a beta. It will be a beta for another dacade, relax and go play something else.
Just a shame folk have paid real money in the misguided belief that ED would be as professional as other game developers and move their products out of a beta state in a reasonable frame of time. Just a shame folk have paid ED to sit wirh their thumbs up their a$$es and a permanent look of confusion on their faces when their customers find the bugs for them. Wank3rs.

I wonder, are the "released" 3rd party modules really worthy of a released title? Or are they still in beta state but just with a "release" sticker applied?
