The French have a widely used, slightly vulgar expression for this kind of people, from a cult movie called Les Tontons Flingueurs, ‘les cons ça ose tout, c’est même à ça qu’on les reconnaît’ (jerks dare everything that is even by what we recognize them)

Let the people who are demanding that the Asobo flight sim team work over the weekend pay them double time out of their own pockets, as top dev's I'd imagine that they on a lot of money per hour, it might cost them a pretty penny.😉

Although I wouldn't demand Asobo work over the weekend, this is a Massively Multiplayer Orientated Game/Sim to a certain degree. Not just that aspect but the Cloud based technology running on servers 24/7, so someone at Asobo is (or at least should be) working/on call at weekends, but probably not the coding guys responsible for the patches and hotfixes of course.

Besides that the hotfix can be released when it's ready, god forbid they release that with extra issues on top!

What makes them think they/some of them aren't working over the weekend anyway? A lot of developers work crazy hours standard, often because they want to. Because they're passionate about it. I think my brother only gives himself Sundays off, and even then he'll choose to carry on working sometimes if he's trying to figure out an annoying bug.

Still, they are allowed days off. You'll only end up with more bugs in your code, anyway, if your concentration is gone and your vision is blurred. No amount of coffee can compensate for sleep and relaxation.

The audacity of some people...

They may work the weekend and take time in lieu (if such a thing exists in France!) once the hotfix is out, or just take over time, or just not work the weekend!

I agree the hotfix needs to be released when it's done correctly and fit for purpose.

We all got in this mess with Asobo/MS releasing a product before it was finished and ready for the masses, but I understand why it was released when it was.

This is a team where there's no-one able to add updated files to the Marketplace the week after a massive update requiring many if not most of the marketplace files to be updated.

Careful staff resource planning doesn't seem to be a high priority.

No, sorry you are wrong:  there is a hot fix, a hotter fix and the hottest fix

That thread hasn't been active in months I think. If Sim Update 5 brought the issue back, a new thread should be created.

Do you have a link to it? I did not know that this has been already discussed in the forums and would affecting other people too.

Indeed.   And there are plenty of studies and real-world experiments which show that people who work 30-35 hour weeks often end up being both more productive and happier than those who "work" 40, let alone people forced into insane overtime.  It's a lesson in humanity that some of the more enlightened countries of Europe are starting to take to heart, and maybe one day the US will wise up as well.

The folks at Asobo are a really dedicated team, though.  They've often made themselves available in the (for them) late evening hours when we needed to work with them directly on something, and it's much appreciated.   Folks shouldn't begrudge them their weekends.  😄

We rather need a coldfix for the high altitude temp bug 🙂

Little known fact - Did you know that David Suchet (the best Poirot actor) clasped a coin between his buttock cheeks to perfect Poirot's 'rapid, mincing gait'? A trick he says he borrowed from Laurence Olivier.

Rather better known fact - SU5 update aint appening today by the looks of it.
