Right now I am working on proving that the models are stable and accurate. So far 2 of the three tests have been carried out, and have proven accurate. Once I get that done, I am going to finish building ALRA and then work on finishing FRM 4.9. At that point, the gates open up for a lot of different things, including UMS v2. When it will get built, I'm not sure, but it probably won't be too terribly long.
One thing I have been thinking about is that I have been trying to pack a lot into single stages and that seems to be hitting snags, at least partly because around 3 months in, the subconscious gets tired of hearing the same thing. And I can't say as I blame it. So I'm looking at producing big programs (UMS, LTU, etc.) as multi-stage sets again. That means it will take longer to build, but I think that will have better results overall. I think it would need at least 3 stages, possibly 4 or 6. Not sure yet. But that would seem to potentially be a better way forward for making it work, instead of trying to achieve everything all in one stage. Of course there would also be the "+1" stage, where all the other stages are packed into one for you to use after you have stepped up to it.
But it seems to me that we should be getting better results, and I think that is probably the solution.
I'm going to try to get FRM built asap, because that's been a bottleneck for a while now, but it's a very complicated thing and I have to make sure I am using accurate modeling results.
Hi Shannon,
This is an interesting realization and intuitively, it feels right to me. All the improvements you have worked on should have the made the programs MORE effective, not less. I have been really curious as to why the only program that worked for me (phenomenally well !!) has been USLM3. I know I executed that program beautifully, so I do not believe that it is as simple as me resisting the others I tried.........USLM4, USLM4.1, and UMS, and I know I am not the only one who has experienced this. But perhaps there is the point of "information overload" with the newer subs and that may trigger them to fail ?
How will it work for those of us who have purchased USLM4 and UMS, with regard to the upgrades ? I know you mentioned that USLM4.2 would be a free upgrade for those of us who purchased USLM4, but what about UMS ? Would they BOTH be rebuilt as multi-stage sets ?
I am currently back on USLM3, and I have NOT asked for any refunds for UMS or USLM4. I really just want the programs to work as intended and I am keeping the faith that you can get them there. Thanks !
