I'm happy Jamie has replied but was thinking today its been a long time since we've had a lady around. I mean whatever happened to Renzie? :hmm:

Now I know she was a big part of the making of DW and hope she wasn't canned cuz sales weren't up to par. :-j :-j :-j

@Jamie :

well, I understand the fix for the FFG TMA (TA LOB are just 5 miles long at this time and you probably talking about new 10 miles LOB for her)

but what will you change on sub manual TMA ??
I find it very efficient and interesting at this time, with very nice features, like beam wander effects, the need to not change depth/speed/course during measurement (LOB recording), but I really don't see what you will change here (there was no discussion about this with beta tester)

can you give some information concerning this aspect please, Jamie ?
thanks

I hope you won't degrade this great sub TMA modelisation to make it easier ! Just because it is actually the most interesting feature of this simulation !

Well, maybe im in the Minority here, but I'm a pretty satisfied customer! DW is a great game and I will continue to play it and try to help along others who are interested. For starters I'm planning on extending the OWTOP to include Helos and after that maybe jump deeper into the complexity of the FFG. Yep, this game has a few bugs ... so what ? It works for me, I'm happy and once I have the time again I will spend more time playing it. Bottom line - count me in to help the next/new generation of DW players (lets call em retailers :D ) along.

Cheers

My two cents
 

Although i'm not a heavy gamer I do tend to like trying out new release demos and wotnot. The thing is most games come and go and rarely does one stick around on my computer for more than a week till it's removed.

The only game that has ever stayed on my hdd is the DW demo then DW full version. I still think the game is right on the money in regards to the direction that SA took it. The sad thing is that navy sims have gone by the wayside in popularity in the last 5-7 years, hence the lagging sales for DW. Which, of course, means that they will more likely allocate less then desired resources towards further development.

As Jamie has indicated the patch is in the works and will be released, although perhaps not as soon as they liked if the market had been healthier and allowed the game to keep a higher priority in the work load. I think what he was getting at in regards to 'being positive' is to appreciate what has actually been achieved in the creation of this sim and to also be confident in the fact that it hasn't been cast off and abandoned. First impressions go along way and new comers reading some of the threads in this forum might get the impression that the game is a lemon by some of the gloom and doom stories that have been thrown about. I think most can agree the core game is great. The issues it still has ARE solvable.

What I hope they do is release the patch before the retail release so not as many new comers will catch a whiff of the negativity towards the outstanding issues in the forums and be put off playing/purchasing.

I wasn't canned, but I was shipped off to another project for the time being. I really miss working on DW and working with you guys in the forum. I hope that I get to come back and play soon.

Thanks,
Renzie

No OneShot. You are in the Majority for sure. Most people here love DW and have no huge complaints. We just have a very vocal Minority, that's all. I guess us in the Majority need to speak up. And we can't let the whiners hijack our threads with irritating demands. They can start a "whiners" thread if they want IMHO. I'm happy with DW to. :up:

Sea Demon

:cool: I knew you weren't "canned" Renzie. I was kind of 'fishing' with that post to see if you were still out there. Hope to see you back on a regular basis soon working on making DW an even better game then it is. :up:

Here's one more satisfied customer.. and i'm in no hurry for a patch cause i'm just taking my good old time simply learning the basics. I'm with OneShot.

OneShot, good to hear you're planning more updates to the OWTOP. I've just got it all printed out and I'm reading it now. Thanks. Do you mean that you have plans to create a similar document for the FFG? If so that would be great.

Keep up the good work SA. Thank you for a great game ... i mean sim. You guys have my support.


:) :up:

I am optimistic that DW will go from strength to strength.

As has been said, that means getting behind SA 100% - to this end I have committed by removing SC/SCX from my hard drive.

The game is where new players arrive and where the most MP fun is taking place. That is DW not SC/SCX !

LuftAm have restored my faith which was starting to flag. :|\

There is much to look forward to and we are a small community which must stick together and not fragment.

Heres to the DW future. :up:
