We will continue to give open monthly development updates where we discuss WIP content, challenges, the issue tracker and more. We know that the previous levels of detail for the roadmap and developer update have not met expectations, but we are grateful for your patience while we shift and adjust plans, in the face of such clear feedback.
Thought it was worth marking the 2 year anniversary of this comment. Communication like that would be so much appreciated right now.

While I'd also much prefer them to do it in text form (or at least put up a "recap post" afterwards!) since I never have time to watch and it makes a much easier reference later, they do have monthly ED livestreams with this sort of content.

The last one confirmed U16 was still on track and gave a few early hints of content (enough that it got a "too much communication, stop it" request elsewhere on the forums, because of course it did), announced that the predictably-named U17 was also coming, and included other discussions with developers.

The next one is scheduled for 20th July and has "prepare for U16" on its notes on the schedule post. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/frameshift-live-2023-schedule.617868/
 
Ok, so this isn't really ED, but I clicked this thread to see what it was. Give us your ideas! {thread locked}....ok then...they've gotten thread lock happy lately!

Thanks for this ^ . I was just thinking this morning about when was the last time I watched a stream. I had no idea they were monthly. I seem to remember, at some point, they were weekly, no? Anyhow...cheers for the info. (y)

I suspect it's more along the lines of "the game hasn't been released yet" and they're just setting up the forum in anticipation of the release. They don't want it getting cluttered up with content before the game is available. Once the game launches, I'm sure all of the threads will be unlocked.

its just a single pinned post at the top of the forum explaining the function of that particular subforum. you can create new threads there. vid

Edited: to I don’t care, thought the irony was funny and on par with their communication. I’m fine with you not talking to me 😃

Yeah, I don’t follow their other games enough to know. It makes sense, just funny to me.

It's not like this thread's result was much different. 🤷‍♂️

Not happy enough when it comes this thread. It did truly play itself out and I see nothing worth digging up in relation to it that couldn't be dealt better in a new thread, no?

But, I get it, who wouldn't like to hear David Braben post an update in regards to Elite? I certainly would. However, even though the timing is anniversarial in regards to this post, it's been said that Frontier have two major launches happening very soon, so maybe the necromancer might have known, or not. Either way, I highly doubt we'll be seeing an update from David Braben in response to OPs call while they're crunching towards two major releases, one of them being F1 Manager 2023. Soo..
