Automobilista 2 V1.4.3.3 & Racin´ USA Pt3 Officially Released!

This has been explained here in other occasions: whenever one of the developers posts a release date that's just suggestion/estimate, it's not a guarantee it will be released on the "promised" date.
So, do like me: hope for the best and expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed. I'm not expecting anything before Monday.

 

Whenever Reiza say a dev says that update will drop in X amount of time, make your expectation 2*X and you wont be disappointed.

 

then you clearly have no idea what software development is about. grow up ffs

 

one of the short jokes.
In 5 minutes i'm ready, said the developer.

What most people don't understand:
In real live you turn one screw and something changes in a simple matter.
In SW development you change one line of code and it can happen influence on hundreds of elements. Especially with SMS source code aka Madness Engine
And 5 minutes explode to 5 hours or 5 days.

 

To be honest, I would not. Reiza have repeatedly said that the dates they give tend to be estimations. Renato, in his original post, said "should have ready". Things that "should" happen aren't things that necessarily "will" happen.

I interpret most posts from Reiza as "it'll drop in that timeframe, but certainly not earlier than the date I'm giving you now". Especially for an update that's clearly about polishing the RC into a publically releasable new game version, you can't really be disappointed when things are running a bit later than predicted.

As long as the update drops this weekend, I don't think they can be reasonably considered "late".

 

Brill news thanks
Another new update !
What is suppose to be included ?

 

GTP Vette, and probably Indy

 

just content ?
Ok thanks

gosh there’s a massive amount of cars already
I’ll probably never get to those to try

hopefully some base sim updates too
We’ll see

 

If it helps, I suggest treating AMS2 like an old friend who you cherish and is always there for you but is not punctual. They won´t change and neither will you so there is no point in wishing for things that won´t happen.

Living in southern Europe, I would have gone out of my mind if I hadn´t accepted this way of life in which now means soon, soon means later and later means never.

 

Those "base sim" updates have come in literally every update. They've completed rewrote the physic 4 times now, and the AI 3 times if you include this latest RC.

 

The people complaining that things aren't ready are a case study on why dev companies don't communicate readily with the public. I suspect Reiza will slowly reduce communication because who could be arsed listening to all the grief.

Definition: Estimate
noun
noun: estimate; plural noun: estimates
/ˈɛstɪmət/
an approximate calculation or judgement of the value, number, quantity, or extent of something.
"at a rough estimate, staff are recycling a quarter of paper used"

I used to have to explain this concept to my boss before I was the boss.

 

This is how it seems some people live their lives...

 

now means now
Soon means forget

to me

 

I understand now. Will change my expectations so we can avoid unnecessary discussions

 

You just wanted an excuse to say this, didn't you? Thanks for the information though

 

Noob

 

Cheers - no worries if it doesn't happen - I know everyone involved is doing everything they can - but I appreciate the updates!
