Well there goes pancake Tuesday !! Will be on here all night waiting in eager anticipation and enjoying the banter !!

Rampant optimism at Asobo.

There’s about 5 days work still needing done here…

Nonsense, ready before dinner…

No.

Pathetic.

And since I can’t post a comment without adding 10 characters: ABSOLUTELY patheic.

Just moments ago, as it was announced on Discourse and presumably Twitter as well.

No just now

So much negativity here. I am pleased that Asobo/MS provides these updates. Now only a few days longer for us to get this update. Big deal… Enjoy your sim and go flying! It will only get better…

Could have announced this earlier. Pretty poor communication from the team. They know how much hype there is for the update.

I’m usually not one to let this kind of stuff bother me, but why wait so late to let us know that it has been delayed further? Is this a sign of larger problems with the update or included fixes? A 5 day delay is fairly significant, especially for a release-day announcement.

(…and why do I keep getting logged out of the forums?!)

See the bright side…

Five more days with no new bugs…

Just as I have my 5 days off really gonna love Asobo.

If its not ready it’s not ready. Its precisely because of comments like these that updates are usually vague. A game has been delayed a few days - not your heart transplant.

The forums are under significant load at the moment. Unfortunately, some user sessions are getting dropped causing you to have to login again.

Well that is certainly a ā€œsee you next tuesdayā€ move by Asobo!

They really should just stop announcing release dates in advance for all updates until they are sure they are ready to release. This ā€œannounce-delay-announce-delay-announce-delayā€ cycle is only serving to frustrate absolutely everyone.

It was removed by a moderator as it was spreading unconfirmed rumours.

A banner had been put up warning people that any dates posted by users were unconfirmed and shouldn’t be trusted until an official announcement was made by Microsoft, be that patch notes or what we, unfortunately, got, an update about a delay.

A bit gutted as im on holiday from work this week, no chance I can fly on Tuesday.

However, Asobo cant really win in these situations.

Release as planned = backlash for bugs. Delay = backlash for delay.

The one thing they can absolutely do better with is COMMUNICATION.

Looks like money I spent on London landmarks and UK sceneries won`t go to waist just yet. Feel sorry for the guys who took the rest of the month off to enjoy WU3 though.

Well, I’ve learned a valuable lesson. I booked this week off before Christmas (you have to book in advance where I work) so I could play with the UK Update.

It turns out 3 weeks wasn’t enough redundancy for delays. I’ll be assuming Asobo’s release dates can have a month added from now on.

Enjoy Update 3 when I’m back at work next week everyone. Thanks Asobo, maybe a little more upfront about these things rather than let the date slip at the last moment next time? This isn’t Crossrail.
I could have cancelled until last Friday but Asobo were confident at that point.

Delays happen, communication often doesn’t.
