Regarding the Steam sale, can I just purchase a module here, obtain serial key, and then download the module via DCS website and insert serial key here? I don't want to use Steam to play DCS...

How does it work to purchase a module off steam with DCS world, which is not in my steam library?

 

ok from a bit of searching here it appears I can buy from steam, then D/L the module here and just use the key from steam?

Why I ask the 70% off on steam only? Ok its great for some who maybe cant afford all the modules at their full price but it leaves those who did pay full price thinking WTF.

 

Obviously DCS do this for a few reasons. Bring more people into the DCS arena who would not normally spend 50+ dollars on a flight SIM and secondly to generate more funds to keep things going on the development front. This is fine but IMHO and from the many fellow pilots I fly with DCS if it does not get a serious injection of fun factor which it has not had for some time then many active pilots will start to drop away. Edge will do this once its finally released and with a new graphics engine and terrain theater (Nevada) people will be busy again exploring the new found map. But for how long?

 

QUESTIONS

 

Can anyone confirm/speculate what if any other maps will be coming to DCS?

When can we expect the next full hardcore aircraft like the A10?

 

And one last thought is about another attack helicopter. No Ah64 A or D models? Pilot and CPG compatible, that's old technology used in Janes Longbow 2 but in 20 years we have seen no one replicate it?? I understand DCS is about accurate modeling but for the Joe average hard core simmer he wont mind if a few guesses have been made in areas where top secret technology information is not available. If a decent AH64 Module came out, I would pay a 100 bucks for it.

oh god, not again :mad:

 

because thats how life is, if you hadnt bought it and waited there would have been a sale, theres no sense in complaining since you wanted a product sooner.

 

Is everyone who bought full price game on steam, ever suppose to scream and yell, everytime it goes on sale, because THEY got the thing for more money that means that everyone else should purchase it at the same price?

 

I think the answer is no.

Good luck to those who get the discount with Steam. I'm happy with what I've paid to date so no tears here if I see a recently purchased module discounted down.

 

I don't like the idea of mixed Steam and DCS sourced installs anyway.

So anyone knows if Steam's serials are compatible with modules downloaded from ED's website? :helpsmilie:

 

For me it worked fine, bought the A10 module back then since it was discounted on steam. You make the install start (so you can copy the key), then stop it, download the a10c module from ED as usual, and insert the key in game and that's it.
