At the moment the focus is to continue crunching and retesting over and over again as we want CFM to be the very best. We are all very confident that this will be the case as Simon, Marcus and I have always set a very high standard and are not willing to settle for second best.
The result will be much tidier and more importantly, the very latest updates compressed and ready even for the TD413 patch. Better still, we can remove all previous dependency so that this is a one stop install with everything in there.
We have integrated many new mods - the very latest - and prepared the ground for later patches too, so that CFM is rock solid. We still have a fair bit to tidy up, more than we estimated earlier. If you saw the totality of the code we are dealing with it would blow your mind! But we have a firm handle on it and really are on the final straightaway.
We all understand that there is a good bit of excitement on this Forum and a lot of you have many questions, most that can be answered as Simon has been doing, however I have offered to take up some of the slack and answer questions when I am able to as well. This will enable Simon to continue with his shakedown testing and crunching which is as you know, is all in the nature of Modding.
Every time he pops up to answer questions it takes him away from his concentration. At this moment it is a critical time.
I'm sure he will probably disagree, but nevertheless...Please be patient folks. CFM will get there when it gets there.
Soon!
Please try to lighten up a bit on the tick,tick,tick.....
We have never let anyone down before that I know of...
All The Best,
Christopher (RDDR)
Thanks RDDR for the update. Great response, which maintains the excellent level of communication. As you say, CFM will get there when it gets there, and that's good enough for me. Best of luck with all the coding - the scale of it sounds quite terrifying. I am very impressed that you're intending for it to accomodate the upcoming 4.13 and assume from that that you are in close contact with TD, which must add yet more to the number of variables.
Does anyone else remember the release of Windows 95? For sound academic reasons, I was an early adopter of the Central European version. What an absolute dog! From my perspective, only became fit for purpose a year later with release B. 15 floppy discs as well. A nightmare year.
Better to patiently await a properly ironed-out product than chafe at the bit for an alpha or beta.
Bye for now. Hopefully, the Oz part of the team is pushing up the Zs right now.
