The file size of a game doesn't define its qualities, especially not when it's in an alpha state, with one track and one ship.
We're not looking at a AAA game either, so what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

I expected more all round - does that make sense now?
See what the update brings
The actual file folder on the HDD is 2.5GB.
My download from steam yesterday was 613mb, maybe Kickstarter backers have got more content?
You're commenting on the thread from an update in december 2015.... The patch for friday hasn't happened yet.
Kickstarter backers don't get any more content than Early Access does. Only TPP and QA have more content (and prior to friday's patch, TPP and Early Access have the same content right now anyways)
My comments were more directed at the fact that the game download as it stood yesterday was not very encouraging.
File size was a jibe, fair enough one track one ship -that's not my issue, I think it should have been more polished regarding playable view points and craft physics before released.

G2wolf are you part of the r8 team ??
We have lost more content than gained with the last update subtotal, the previous version had a reverse version of New York [which I actually preferred to the forward version], but for some reason it was removed.
How are you getting on with the demo blackwiggle ? I see you are after a fpv -me too
I've been on the track this morning using the steam controller but I played WOHD using motion control in fpv and can't really get to grips with it.
Well we are halfway through the 19th and no update yet😉
I bet STEAM gets the blame again if it doesn't show up
Have been asking for FPV since before the first test version, same for Xtriko, NZLion and the other old timers who are part of the TPP
Yeah, I've got my other desktop that runs Steam fired up ready for the update... when it arrives... I suspect it will take a age to download and install like the last one, I think the last one took so long because it was removing pretty much everything except that single track
GOD I hope they have changed the music...I can't stand that track now.
I must admit r8 has got its work cut out bettering or being on par WOHD, I've even been considering purchasing a PS3 again to play it, Sony peed me off when I heard ps4 wouldn't carry store bought PS3 games across, so I sold it and upgraded my PC.
I like the fact that with steam all your purchase's will move with you if you change your PC
Well Sony couldn't for a lot of the games as the PS3 architecture is so different to the PS4, the only way they could do it was to port PC versions of the games for the PS4 and add trophy support, so anything that was PS3 only or never had a PC version won't ever see the light of day on the PS4 .... I recently finished FFVII on the PS4, it looked so much better than the PSone version on the PS3.
Where's this bloody update....it's stinking Hot here ATM, and I'm sitting in my spare room with two desk tops running, it's like a sauna.
Maybe steam releases updates at a set times so it doesn't get too overloaded?
OK, I'll send Steam the bill for all the beer I'm having to drink to stay hydrated in this heat waiting for this update
I should think the Kickstarter backer who stuck £1500 in the pot is getting through some beer at the moment as well
No.
Just mute it and play your own? Good idea to do that while recording anyways since youtube flags the music tracks that are in game.

R8 just posted an update on their facebook page:
hi everybody
We're working hard on the releases for today, Friday 19th. Just a few more wrinkles to be ironed out and we'll be ready to press the button.
A few more hours to go. We thank you for your patience.
Please note: we are working on GMT
Thanks for the update
Getting very very close now.
Yep, I see its scheduled for download at 12:58 gmt on my steam account,
Technically speaking that's the 20th 😉
If it's "scheduled for download", that is because of your steam settings regarding downloads. You can start the download now. Update is live.
Thanks g2wolf sorted it now
Sorry purdisc, my mistake -you made it in good time, well done!!
846.2mb 😄
Edit:
Loving the cockpit view -that's gonna make a lot of people here happy
The new track is very nice, I much prefer the open air tracks compared to city scape ones for some reason.
+ controller options now, meaning I can calibrate the steam controller gyro and play using motion control in big picture mode !!
all my gripes sorted within 24hrs
Well done r8 this is looking much more promising now 😃
