Been away for a while and I'm sorry to see this still isn't available. What is the latest? Any idea on reason for delay? Does anyone have an eta on the release other than the obligatory "two weeks"?

Thanks.

C'mon guys, stop joking around and taking the pi$$ out of ED.

The truth is, that its already released (came with pre purchase of a10c) and that people just can't find the switch in the GUI to activate it.

It will be released "later this year".

Exercise for the reader: Since which year has this release estimate been valid?

That awkward silence on SimHQ when NTTR gets released, looking forward to that...

No flame starting here, its all tongue in cheek as we know what ED is like.

But when it is released, there won't be an awkward silence.

If its as good as we are led to believe there will be lots a praise coming from SimHQ members.

But there will also be comments to how long its taken and the lack of info on it. You can't blame us for the latter.

I'm sure the OP is very happy about the exclusively helpful responses he's been getting so far...

The latest release date *estimate* is sometime between now and the start of July.

Yes, once NTTR is out, there will be silence. We'll all have something better to do than hang around forums and post snide remarks.

Until then, the appropriate question is not:
"What is the latest release estimate for EDGE/NTTR?"
But rather:
"Has EDGE/NTTR been released yet?"

Yes, because after who knows how many years of broken promises, it's the less than amused customers, not the developer who's consistently failed, who should feel bad about the laughable saga that was the several years long delayed graphics engine.

Tell me, if your new car breaks down after a month, do you write the manufacturer apologizing for it?

The quality is irrelevant. Well, no, if it's a horrible buggy mess, everyone will wonder why it just didn't come out years earlier, because at least we could've been flying it that way longer even if as of 2015 it's still buggy.

However, if your boss promised you a raise and it took several YEARS to get it, with continual assurances that it was coming, and was going to be next year, then end of the year, then beginning of the next year, summer at the latest!! would you be thinking "ah, it was worth it" when your raise came years late? Might you not be thinking, "uh, shouldn't I have not only had this raise long ago but ANOTHER one by now?"

Now theoretically a raise is something you earn and a product is something you buy, but the anticipation and disappointment of changed dates is pretty much identical.

Had ED not said a single WORD about EDGE until 2014, well, it wouldn't be the issue it is. It's only been talked about since 2010...and that's why even if it's the best thing in flight sims EVER, the wait was still too long. That can never change for the better, it can only get worse the longer it's delayed. ED can't fix that.

Best case scenario it's so good they are forgiven for the delay. Yet no one will ever feel "awkward" about it.

I am curious: What has ED done that warrants such undieing love and admiration from you for a commercial company whose primary purpose is making money.

I'm not sure there is undying love and admiration on his part. I had a little smile myself when I noticed the reply was caveated with *estimate*.

Looks like Sober also has doubts that ED can pull off a release by July too. It just shows you the lack of trust everyone has with ED's planning and estimating. It will be released when ED are ready, I reckon that's anytime between now and infinity.

If he didnt but the word *estimate* and it didnt make it out before the beginning of July, The community would lynch him. LOL The Estimate is just a CYA.

i suppose that is the same estimate that said "end 2014", then early 2015 and now July.

Actually that is incorrect. This is the estimated release date for the Alpha of DCS World 2 / EDGE. The Nevada terrian will likely be released at an even later time. Seeing that it is mid April, I think ED will release the Alpha version of EDGE sometime May-June. That leaves 6 months for them to put it into the full game... hopefully they can get it ready by then.

Perfect. [edited] <steps down off of soap box>.


Nope…definitely not the section for this type of post. Perhaps you should visit the PWEC for this type of discussion.

We have enough controversy here without throwing politics into the mix.

^ While we're at it, Force10, what does Your "PWEC" stand for? Google showed me a bunch of options, but neither of them makes sense here and, as a non-native English speaker, I'm not quite up to date with Your urban gangsta dictionary biggrin.
