Ribbon Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 I got the joke, but it is probably a rather stressful, tiring time at the moment for Mr Williams et al. Humour can often be an early casualty in such times.He and guys are finishing BoK, and there are 3 more titles in frot of Jason to run, so i think he got the joke, no man with four jobs could be offended by saying he's lazy, despite the stress!
Danziger Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Do you think it was a deliberate choice to have the rain on the googles affected by wind even when the canopy is closed? I suppose that if they did not do that then we would have rain on our goggles permanently unless they added a 'Wipe Goggles Clean' action I think it was meant to be affected by G force and not wind but I don't know if G force would do that or not IRL. 1
Ribbon Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Ah, I see, it's easy to mis- understand someone's response from just text, hence why people use emoticons (which Mr Williams didn't), and this forum does get wound up from time to time.I don't know, and honestly i don't care!Forums should be avoided or dosed, my conclusion when discussion goes this way, so i'll stop here. S!
Danziger Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Is it too early to start hyping up a possible DD tomorrow? I mean it's already tomorrow in some parts of the world. 1
Taxman Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Of course there will be an update. I'm leaving in the morning and would be back until Sunday night, happens every time I leave for short vaction
ShamrockOneFive Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 The last couple of weeks the answer has been that they are pushing hard for release and they are too busy for a DD. Which is fine of course. We know they are in crunch mode and heading towards release. The one thing we haven't yet seen which I'm guessing could be the subject of the next update would be the P-39's cockpit. Or the extra skins. Or both. It's the last aircraft that we haven't seen the cockpit of yet. I'm pretty excited as its the first cockpit I ever saw in the original IL-2.
Gambit21 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Is it too early to start hyping up a possible DD tomorrow? I mean it's already tomorrow in some parts of the world. I think they have their heads down pushing against the clock and probably not sleeping very much. I wouldn't be surprised if there was no update, but who knows.
Feathered_IV Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I think they have their heads down pushing against the clock and probably not sleeping very much. I know that feeling. I worked a job for six years where deadlines were so tight we'd work 20 hours a day for the weeks leading up to crunch time. We would sleep on middens of bubble wrap and packing foam under our work benches as there was no time to go home. 1

Feathered_IV Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Nope, worked for architects. The pricks.

I will propably finish on Friday afternoon so hope or a new DD is the only thingthat keeps me strength

=gRiJ=Roman- Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Probably a psychologist would tell you the right steps in the process. Right now I am getting in the phase of indifference.I guess it's a self-defense mechanism to endure a long waiting period without news. I don't expect any DD again.

Mac_Messer Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Not waiting for the actual files, a simple update will suffice. I know that feeling.

There is no way to keep up default productivity in such conditions for more than two-three days, unless people fly on drugs. One needs 9 hours of clean sleep to be good, another needs 5 to be the same but beyond that things tend to go downhill quickly.

Nine hours of sleep!? *Pfffffffffffffffff*....I haven't gotten that much sleep in a decade at least! 3
MacLeod Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Well, I have two days to spend, carnaval is coming so I can get a week of stick time! Hope it comes soon!
Finkeren Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Well, I have two days to spend, carnaval is coming so I can get a week of stick time! Hope it comes soon! Wow! You guys get a holiday at the start of lent? In Denmark the tradition is to just dress up in costumes and smash a wooden barrel to pieces with clubs with a live cat inside. 2

Finkeren Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 It’s a lot of fun actually. On the Island of Amager they do it on horseback, which is always a spectacle with lots of broken wrists.
Picchio Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Nope, worked for architects. The pricks. The sad thing is that we (architects) are also taught to do so... sigh. I try my best not to extend this bad practice to anybody other than to myself. 1
DD_Arthur Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 In Denmark the tradition is to just dress up in costumes and smash a wooden barrel to pieces with clubs with a live cat inside. Eh? Hmmm.....sounds strange to me but in my home town on November the fifth we do this No one seems to know why though
BMA_FlyingShark Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 smash a wooden barrel to pieces with clubs with a live cat inside. Bunch of barbarians.
=SqSq=switch201 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) In Denmark the tradition is to just dress up in costumes and smash a wooden barrel to pieces with clubs with a live cat inside. Does any one else feel bad for the cat? Any way, I kinda figured they would be doing a surprise release tomorrow seeing how it is the last friday of January, But reading this thread is making me think my assumptions were wrong, and now I am sad.

Finkeren Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Don’t worry, there’s no cat inside anymore, we stopped doing that a few generations ago - we still call it “beating the cat off the barrel” though. Today it’s basically just a less flashy, harder-to-kill piñata. Back on topic: After Jason’s message last week, I actually don’t expect another DD before the one where they tell us that 3.001 has gone beta, which could be this week but probably isn’t.
=SqSq=switch201 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Oh I already thought that it was in beta testing, but maybe that's just alpha testing? Who gets to play the beta?
Finkeren Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Oh I already thought that it was in beta testing, but maybe that's just alpha testing? Who gets to play the beta? The beta testers. They have a brown (or bronze?) bar under their avatar that says “tester”.
w00dy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 The beta testers. They have a brown (or bronze?) bar under their avatar that says “tester”. Like the post above yours
Finkeren Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Like the post above yours Probably. I’m on my phone right now, and they don’t show up in the mobile version of the forum.

I thought it went into beta testing before christmas.
Finkeren Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I thought it went into beta testing before christmas. Nope. In the last DD from Dec. 29th Han said that they were ready to start alpha tests, which I guess basically means, that all the major parts of 3.001 were assembled, but some minor parts (graphics, animations, sounds etc) were still missing. When it’s beta it’s basically done and just needs tweaking and crushing bugs.
BlitzPig_EL Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Nope, worked for architects. The pricks. My first job out of college was in advertising, I worked for a trade show display house as a location photographer and graphic arts tech. For too many years I worked 12 to 15 hour days, 7 days a week for months at a time ahead of major trade shows getting multiple projects done. Never again.
Archie Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Nope.

=SqSq=switch201 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Damn..... I also assumed it was in beta and thought we were much closer to release than we actually are :'(. I am still curious if they will announce a release date before releasing, or if they will simply release it as a suprise. guys that have been around for awhile, what did they do in regards to moscow? did they announce a date or just send it out as a surprise?
Oubaas Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Well, here we are again! Get ready for BIG news! Or none at all. Or a minor update. It's hard to say.
