"Full releases" that IMO should have had just a touch more stability to them. I will take quality over quantity. "a community that can wait" it really can't though! It's pretty much dead compared to 2009-2010. Sorry to disappoint you, and thank you for the kind words that you still enjoy my projects. As newer, far more complex mods came out, I lost complete interest in my own. Perhaps a better way to put it would be that I disagree with the development cycle. It's been close to 2 years sine Montana 2.5 came out. I'm not saying the mod was a bug ridden mess, far from it. Almost 2 years later and not a single patch. I'd be happy to have just 1 maybe 2 patches by now. It's not like I didn't post like 5-10 bug reports when it came out. That's not even counting unique bug reports by others. Not 1 single patch! Not a single script fix or XML fix. Nothing in 2 years. New Civilian vehicles are cool but in ~2 years nothing has been (publicly) fixed. New civilian cars aren't whats needed at this time. Fix up SOME of the more basic script errors/minor bugs that can quickly and easily be fixed. Then give us an update ~3/6 months later with SOME new Civ vehicles. Then in another ~3/6 months, give us a few more civ vehicles and maybe a new feature or useful emergency vehicle/apparatus. Not an exact scenario, but you get the idea. My first submod had like 10 patches released. My second submod went through some private alpha and beta stages between myself and/or other modders. It saw 2 or 3 public betas if memory serves me right. I was 10 years younger with a lot more free time on my hands. I don't have the time to contribute near as much as I did. I have reached out to certain modders to offer to pitch in here and there in hopes of being able to at least slightly accelerate the development pace, but here I am making this post. Models are one thing, but I feel like if the modding community would simply setup git repos for their mods curial files, it would help everyone collaborate better.

Sounds like another project that will see half ass completion by the team. Montana 2.5, Nostalgia, and this or that project gets released as a beta or full release when even basic functions don't properly function and a year or so later we don't even have a patch to fix the smallest of bugs. There is great talent in this community to date, but to many half @$$ projects these days.

This is where I step in and say, if ya'll wanna beef, do it in DM's. I'll keep these posts for another week or so then hide them to keep shit on topic. I won't lock the thread if everyone can play nice.
