Watching the meltdown that another flight simulator appears to be going through, I find myself looking forward to this more than ever.

I really hope this scratches a flight sim itch I've had a while.  The idea behind the operational layer is simply awesome.  I'm really trying to manage my expectations, but I can't help but feel a squee building up inside.

Me too! But is it a loin moistening experience yet? :D

Toonces, what's the 'other flight sim' involved in drama that you referred to?

Its just taking a heck of a long time to get DCSW v2 out of the door. Literally years of later than told at first.
That has made quite a few people members of the 'I'll believe when I see' cult.

The preliminary update to v2 is due to come out this month in beta 1.5 form.
Again, they 'expect' a Sept release for the public beta. Which year is to be seen. :D

Why is DCS melting down?

AGW.
What's that stand for? I haven't been following closely but heard about some issues with advanced flight models and I know DCS 2 has been horribly delayed.

Pretty sure it's:

"Anthropogenic Global Warming"

As in .. caused by humans.


Not gonna open the debate about how relevant such theories are, in this thread.  Just clarifying.

Thanks for the correction. At least he gets the joke now...  :))
