No one is avoiding saying when FPSC V1 is coming out. No one yet knows when the V1 release will be. I doubt if TGC even know. They are working on the product and like all game engine developers are having to solve unforseen problems as they go. Nothing new in that. Its complex work.
They wont release it until work on the additional major features of Physics and MP and any lesser additonal features scheduled for inclusion are complete. Following that then at the very least there is also the editor and other stability issues which apparently will be given some attention and deservingly so.
Following Lees diaries it seems that none of these things are yet fully complete and its likely that when they are a further period of testing may be required before a release - it may yet still be some time away. Ulikely to be in this month of July - perhaps August if all goes well though thats expecting a lot I would think.
TGC have a target for feature and function inclusion and I doubt that you will see anything more than that causing any delay. Its not very likely that they will hold up a release from now on in so they can work on giving you more features - thats a never ending cycle which wont play any part in the release date.
If you follow Lees Diaries - then commomn sense will tell you how its going and when its nearing some kind of completion - from that you can ascertain a reasonable guess at any likelyhood of any release - not quite yet it seems.
Nutbolt,
If you want FPSC for your birthday then you'd best get the EA version and get the Upgrade to V1 when its released, otherwise you may not have such a good Birthday. I wish you a happy one.
Dont bank on V1 coming out on a particular date until TGC say so officially, they are unlikey to commit to that until shortly before when they are 100% sure of the date and anything else is just hear say.
