As I’ve gotten older, nothing has resonated quite as much as Time.
Waiting for each DCS update and release…
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

I’m the same, but for me it is this verse:
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Far away across the fields
The Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softy spoken magic spell

Those are iconic, but not fighter pilot songs. This is a fighter pilot song.
Chorus:
Oh, Halleliua, Halleliua
Throw a nickel on the grass–Save a fighter pilot’s ass.
Oh, Halleliua, Oh, Halleliua
Throw a nickel on the grass and you’ll be saved.
Verses:
I was cruising down the Yalu, doing six and twenty per
When a call came from the Major, Oh won 't you save me sir?
Got three flak holes in my wing tips, and my tanks ain’t got no gas.
Mayday, mayday, mayday, I got six MIGS on my ass.
I shot my traffic pattern, and to me it looked all right,
The airspeed read one-thirty, I really racked it tight!
Then the airframe gave a shudder, the engine gave a wheeze,
Mayday, mayday, mayday, spin instructions please.
It was split S on my Bomb run, and I got too God Damn low
But I pressed that bloody button, and I let those babies go
Sucked the stick back fast as blazes, when I hit a high speed stall
I won’t see my mother when the work all done next fall.
They sent me down to Pyongyang, the brief said “no ack ack”
by the time that I arrived there, my wings was mostly flak.
Then my engine coughed and sputtered, it was too cut up to fly
Mayday, mayday, mayday, I’m too young to die.
I bailed out from the Sabre, and the landing came out fine
With my E and E equipment, I made for our front line.
When I opened up ration, to see what was in it,
The God damn quartermaster why he filled the tin with grit.
Oscar Brand (most of his songs are far from PC)
When we were kids, my dad would play this record often and sing along. Funny, I had no idea what the words meant, just that my dad really liked going to work.

Heatblur just posted this, I haven’t even had a chance to read through it but I’m quite interested in what it has to say.

Basically early spring release. Aiming for April with the latest being May.
Im honestly curious as to what effect switching to one .exe (stable and Beta) has had on this decision.

Skimmed it. All good by me.
I’d like to think that the type of player that’s into this amount of realism would understand…that this kind of detail is complicated [to build] – and keep within a reasonable performance window.
It makes me think of PMDG level stuff with missiles/bombs/guns.

More like HotStart level with all those extra UI features.
I am probably in the minority, but it almost seems sad to me that they feel they have to go to such exhaustive lengths to apologize and explain for what is really just a short delay. I think it says a lot about a certain, very vocal, element of the simming community. It’s probably a good thing that I am not a developer because I would have just said something like… ‘We thought it was ready, it isn’t and it will be released as soon as it is’. The end.
