Hi, I sent you an email on 29 July, as I'm having trouble with my MiG-21 key, too. Maybe you have overlooked it, so I sent the email again today. If you could take a look at it, I would be very grateful. Best regards

It's been a long time, so correct me if I'm wrong. :) As far as I can remember in regard to certain engines at least: Leaner mixture burns faster (unless it becomes too lean). So the combustion is faster and maximum pressure of ignited mixture occurs earlier relative to the movement of the piston. As a result this happens when the combustion chamber volume is smaller (due to piston position) which causes higher pressure and higher temperatures, especially at the cylinder head.

Official ED-Email-Newsletter would achieve most, I think - if that's possible. :helpsmilie: Other than that, I would focus on getting existing backers to move up. - You could add some more extras, like a printed A3 aircraft recognition chart, a printed A3 Normandy map, ... that people could choose from + MATRIX Tier 9, 10, 11 ... 99 :smilewink: - And some goodies for the lower tiers, like for example rendered digital desktop wallpapers of all the aircraft at $10, a digital aircraft recognition chart at $20, a digital Normandy map at $50, ... I guess people here have a lot of ideas regarding both physical and digital extras they would pay for if you ask. Just look at the tiers where you currently have a lot of backers and think about how to get them to move upward at least one tier.

Flyable B-17 - because nothing else would draw more money and players to DCS WWII imo.

Best option for the free plane imo would be the plane that's most beginner friendly (relatively easy to fly) and still useful and fun in dogfights.

Both $0 and $1 for three full-DCS aircraft is way too cheap, it makes people feel those planes are almost worthless, like in World of Tanks or War Thunder.

ED-Newsletter: If Eagle would do you the big favour of sending out an official email-newsletter about the Kickstarter, you coud reach the many DCS-players who don't read forums. 1. A killer video: All that really counts for getting media coverage is an impressive MAIN-Kickstarter-video + screenshots + good project description. Screenshots and description for DCS WWII 1944 are good, the main-video is the problem. Impressive video = good in-game-graphics (maybe with a little bit of post-processing added) + good music / sound effects + a short story that immediately captures the interest of the guy who's watching. Of course this can't be done in just a few days as it's expensive and time consuming, but you may want to have something similar at hands for further pre-sales of WWII 1944 through your own website. Examples: a) b) 2. New rewards: Main focus now should be to get existing backers to spend more. So maybe it would make sense to introduce a new tier / tiers that gets you any future content / aircraft for DCS:WWII for free. At a high price tag you wouldn't give away much future sales because people willing to give that much for your Kickstarter are going to spend anyway, I guess. You could also split this up at different price tags: - All future aircraft for DCS:WWII free - All future aircraft and maps for DCS:WWII free - All future aircraft and maps for DCS:WWII free + Alpha and Beta access Just meant as an example, but don't make it to cheap if you go for it. 3. Taking PayPal: A must-have if it's possible. 4. Changes to project features: Only one flyable aircraft at DCS-level for free - if you sell your product too cheap people are going to think it's low quality. Sounds good, but makes the pledges a bit more complicated (we already have quite a few ;)) I definitely wouldn't give 3 full-DCS aircraft away for $1 - that's way too cheap. 5. Stretch goals: - A flyable Me.262 as first stretch goal is optimal in my opinion as it is cost-efficient to do, maybe appeals more to the modern-plane/jet-people and adds more variation than another prop-plane. - Next best thing would be a flyable B-17, but too costly at the moment. 6. Future training / fun plane: Maybe something like the Fieseler Storch? :) Most Kickstarters get most of their money during the first and the last few days - so keep up your good work! :thumbup:

Works now, thank you! Purchased one module using the discount code and a few other things at regular price directly from Eagle's website (instead of the steam sale) to make sure you guys get some money for making this great sim. :thumbup:

I prefer to directly buy from Eagle's website, they get more of the money this way, I guess.

Last two Fridays have already been lots of fun - attending. :)

Hi Merlin, Just tested it on your sever. When choosing an air-start-slot I get the Training Staffel skin on the red side P-51s. But for the ground-start-slots on red side I still get the US default skin.

Hi, 1. Download / Install the Modules from DCS-Website 2. Start singleplayer or multiplayer mission 3. Enter Gamefly key for the module you started when prompted by the game (for the Black Shark 2 - Upgrade you have to install BS1 to some folder on you harddrive first, I think) Hope that helps, good luck!

Not yet. I missed the summer sale by 1 day (perfect! ;) ), so I'm waiting on this one, too.

They are currently searching for flight model testers for War Thunder, who "will receive a payment for your time and effort". http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/50374-fm-testers-required/

Hi Daniel, ok, thank you very much!

Ticket # 23748 Hi, I got a 60% Purchase Coupon for DCS with my TrackIR 5. It is an "Unlimited Time" offer for www.digitalcombatsimulator.com and I have to "Enter the below promotional code during check out". So I put everything I wanted to order into my E-shop Cart, but I didn't find a possibility to enter the Coupon Code during the check out process - tried multiple times and aborted on the payment page. Where can I use that code? Thank you and best regards
