Does this happen with every shiny new toy? I think so. Do we still want them? YOU BET! The thing is this relationship is based on a level of trust. We give ED money for an unfinished product with the understanding they will finish it in a reasonable amount of time. Most of the time, ED keeps that promise. I beleive they are responsible for making the third parties keep this promise too. There are moments of brilliance in this (F-14, MiG-15) and some not so good moments. But all in all, I continue to trust ED/DCS to give me what I pay for and I am satisfied(sometimes eventually satisfied) by thier products. What this brings to mind is the Channel Map. A few weeks ago i purchased the Channel Map. Its taken a couple of patches but it really looks good now and I can build missions on it. There may be some performance issues in the begining but it will get sorted out. I think what ED does not expect if for us to buy early access and treat that as a finished product. It makes them look bad. I expect it will take a while for these products to be fleshed out. Six months is a reasonable time to wait. I bought this map and expect that in a few weeks the bugs will be ironed out. Speaking of waiting, ED, where are my 109’s gunpods?!
