July 22, 20223 yr I clearly note that counter to these blogs the first 18 months, there are no longer references to completions based on future updates. Ex no SU10, SU11, SU12, etc. Am however totally enthused by the lack of "not planned" comments, though some notable requests that have resulted in that response are no longer listed....

July 22, 20223 yr Gliders and Helicopters are stated for SU11, so I guess SU11 is coming in November, as that's when they said the 40th Anniversary Update is coming. Which means we don't know what's coming in October yet. I wonder if they'll do 2 World Updates in a row again. Edited July 22, 20223 yr by Tuskin38
July 22, 20223 yr Quote Windgust Working! Under InvestigationGood Job on the Improvement to the Weather Engine Under Investigation We wanted more transparency, we got it. The feedback snapshots are clearly run by some kind of robot making up statuses. They somehow managed to change the capitalization and words from the original titles, yet failed to realize the context.
