I’m more than happy to join you in that minority Paul.
About the only valid point that the whingers have is that they have already paid for it. And HB have acknowledged that by offering not only a refund but a two week post release discount if they change their mind.
Suck it up I say. Release dates for software slipping is normal, that is why some people refuse to pre-purchase.
Seconded, the whole first update read like the they had slept with someone’s wife or ran away from a pregnant girl 19 years ago. “Release date changed by a month, still planning on it being awesome.” All I needed.
This is what the kids call “Based.”
Whingers need to go back to 2019 and experience the Viper or MiG-19 release.
Delayed is always better than rushed.
Or the Falcon 4 initial release (98’-ish). 
I agree!
But look at that explanation though…!
It brings such delicious insight into the process that would otherwise be hidden from us.
In a way this delay is adding value to the product, for me…
Keep on chuggin’, @nicholas.dackard! We’re rooting for you guys! 
Totally. Stuff happens…
My opinion of HB has only gone up. Good way to convince me to buy that next module guys
Totally!
Whenever Heatblur announces a module, I log into my paypal account..! 
I really appreciate their heartfelt explanation…I feel for those guys.They’re doing grounbreaking,new things in DCS that both developers and customers will benefit from…It can’t be easy trying to break boundaries in something so complex.
All The Best to Them
I was afraid the reaction would have been nuclear but apparently, either by karma or message clarity, it was overall well received.
There’s always the usual negative nancy but… you know.
None…
If after that post by @nicholas.dackard anyone still makes the entitled baby noise, they out themselves for the bish they are in such a massive way, almost noone dares
I wonder if that browser-in-DCS thing is phantom-exclusive or DCS-wide. I wouldn’t mind looking things up or browsing mudspike in-flight, in-VR at all 
Right. Delay or not. It’s the right call to pay attention to go by a sustainable pace. I want Heatblur to make many more awesome modules.
There is no benefit in burning out the staff by some abitrary release deadlines.
They did there best. There were some factors outside their control. So be it. Move the goal post 
If they’d said a 6 month delay, I think the complainers would be justified.
But only like 6 weeks? Pfft! Big deal.
I do see their point in that because of preorders having gone up they had a mindset of “no more than X time between taking money and delivering product” and I think that’s a good mindset for a company that wants to succeed (looking askance at Star Citizen/Squadron 42…).
I that still a thing? Showing my ignorance here but I recall being interested in that, based on the previews and such like, what, a decade ago[1]? Then forgetting about it because it never happened…searching Google…I guess it finally did…maybe:
I stand corrected.
[1] The idea of [nearly] boundless exploration of in this case a Universe I guess it was, sorta like MSFS with the Earth.
I see the apoligy as good business practice. it was super polite. A while back i was annoyed that it took so long… Then all I had to do was read the manual RTFM. This is not just a module. it is a redefining of how DCS plays 2 seaters. It is a bunch of features that make this module unique. I would almost say it is redefining how we see and what we expect from DCS. So, yeah… Take your time, get it right and forget the haters. When its ready… We are ready for the F-4E!!!
Someone refresh me…I did the pre-order but, was there an ‘upgrade’ to get the T-Shirt and swag?
Yes, on the Heatblur web site. The different editions were at the bottom of their web page. The shirt is pretty cool, but runs about a half size small on me. OK, let’s call it a European cut. 
. I’ll probably order another one.
