Has SU10 been postponed until mid-September?
Thatās what it says in the roadmapā¦

Yes. Too many issues to fix before release according to their Q&A.

Yes for at least 2 weeks possibly longer.
Seems like a good Beta so far, I wouldnāt go back to SU9. Although DX12 seems to be hit or miss depending on individualās hardware and settings.

Basically, early SU10 builds were running faster but they were seeing problems on some peopleās machines. They removed some of the changes in later builds trading speed for stability, and are working to get a build thatās both fast and stable.
Itās not a case of feature creep or biting off more than they can chew, itās reacting to feedback from the beta.
Sure, a delay is always disappointing, but itās absolutely the right call, and what the community has been asking for. If SU10 came out slower than SU9, or āfaster for 98% of users but just crashes on the other 2%ā a lot of folks around here would be justifiably upset.

I said awhile back āwatch out guysā and I was right. I knew this was gonna happen. All threads and posts pointed towards it. My intuition was right. Iām still in āofflineā mode and looks like I will be for some time. Disappointing to say the least. 
But the bright side to it is, if itās needed to get the SIM right, then so be it. Iāll patiently wait.

Good. Itās a lot better than shipping an ultra-buggy forced update, and then having the sim become unusable until they can get a hotfix out.

A rushed update is always bad, but a delayed update is eventually good, or something like that

Youād rather they release on time but at a worse state with a lot of bugs instead?

Iāll lean out of the window by saying āthatās what the sales / marketing department does: fixes a random - but precise - release date and then keeps bothering and blaming the development department why they cannot keep up.ā
And if a company announces a āwhen it is readyā half of their client base goes berserk: āWhereās the communication?!ā
And when you are being transparent and announce a delay - no matter how early or sincerely you try to āstill make itā - the other half of your user base goes āSee!? Told you so! Nothing but empty promises of them lazy developers!ā
Rule #1 of any software development project: the only thing that is absolutely clear, well understood and agreed upon by all project stakeholders (except development) from the very beginning isā¦ the release date. No matter the complexity or degree of unknownsā¦
Developers: ā ā ā ā ā ā if they do and ā ā ā ā ā ā if they donāt.
Best,
Steeler (a developer ;))

For me, the sim in itās present form runs stable (Iām not participating in the SU10 Beta).
So, I really donāt care if SU10 gets delayed by a week, a month or whatever - In the meantime, I just enjoy my flights every eveningā¦

Right, not rushed is what we want and what many of us asked for actually.

Good, Good, Good.
Ship it when itās ready. Let the release dates be flexible.

Itās a mess currently. Suspending it was the right decision.

SU10 was initially pushed back 1 month to allow more time so that they wouldnt end up pushing out a buggy release. The fact that they now have to postpone a already postponed release should be worrying 2 years after release.
Its like people forgot that SU10 was pushed back another month to assure quality.
I agree with not releasing a buggy product, but on the other hand Im worried about the quality and competence if your release cycles are getting MORE buggy and problematic over time.

The people sniping at them for postponing it would be the first to complain if it was released unfinished.

The latest SU10 Beta has major performance issueā¦ it is worse than SU9 (current live version).
I agree 100% to postpone it because current performance on SU9 is already worse than the previous releases. I cannot stand to have more and more performance degradation over each SU updates.

Iād rather see them push back release and get it right vs rolling out a broken sim that we have to endure for at least 2 months before the next update rolls around. Iām ok with this. Itās much better than the āā ā ā ā the torpedoes, full speed aheadā approach weāve seen in the past where they release updates despite all the known bugs.
Now, whether or not it will be worth the wait (as in, will they actually get it working right?) remains to be seen.
