Paying money??? (rant)

So we are paying money for a carrier? This really sounds silly. Why should I pay money for a large carrier when I can use the Kuznetsov or the Stennis? I just don't see the point. Supposedly there will be some relaxing room, but this is digital combat simulator, not digital meeting simulator. This is also not digital navigating to a carrier simulator. I'm sure some people will pay for this, but a good amount of people wont pay 50 bucks for some carrier. It would be nice just to have it as an AI model, not as a paid module, so that way everyone can utilize this, but time will tell.

Then...don't do it???

If you dont want it, dont buy it. If you decide to spit this kind of nonsense on a forum, all you do is make yourself look funny.

Don't worry, I'll be buying one for myself and a few more for gifts for friends

Thanks for playing!

 

Some of the planned features

 

Early Access Features

New Nimitz-class aircraft carrier model:

Highly detailed polygon model.

High-resolution textures that include realistic weathering and markings

Animated arresting wires and blast shields

Animated radar antennas

Animated aircraft elevators

Catapult bubble between catapults 1 and 2

Steam from catapults

Risers (guard rails) around aircraft elevators when lowered

Long-range line-up lights

IFLOLS

Animated “rabbit lights” along landing area centerline

Deck lighting

Functional air defence weapon systems:

Sea Sparrow

CWIS

Sea RAM

Option for Nimitz-class aircraft carriers of the Roosevelt sub-class:

CVN-71 Theodore Roosevelt

CVN-72 Abraham Lincoln

CVN-73 George Washington

Deck parking allowing up to 14 aircraft to be spawned on deck. We will review the possibility of increasing this number to 18 in the coming months.

Carrier radio communications for Case I, Case II, and Case III.

Static deck vehicles (AS32A-31A Flight Deck Tractor, AS32A-32A Hangar Deck Tractor, AS32A-36 Aircraft crash and salvage crane, P-25 Fire Fighting Vehicle) that can be placed by mission designers.

Static deck crew that can be placed by mission designers.

Animated deck crew for bow and waist catapults launches.

With a list like this I think it warrants being called a stand alone module!, and is certainly on my

buy list when it's released. It will make a perfect addition to the Hornet.

Plus just as important it keeps ED in business, and therefore us in the virtual skies!

Why did I even reply. smh:doh:

This, this is crucial ... I enjoy ED’s products so much, that I cant imagine this hobby without them, thus I’m glad to be able to support them by purchasing their products whenever I can.

It is completely optional, you do not have to have it, you will still have access to the Stennis.

 

However if you want the features that go with the super carrier module you will need to pay for it.

Most important feature not on the current CVN-74 in bold.

Nicktune2019, send me your bank account info, I’ll deposit funds for the new super carrier module.

It would be nice just to have it as an AI model, not as a paid module, so that way everyone can utilize this, but time will tell.

Yeah, god forbid that ED should actually expect some kind of financial return on their hard work to help keep the lights on...

Random guy in club: "Supercarrier has the features you're looking for."

The deck crew alone will make it worth it for me.

I guess we'll all have to remember all the hand signals.

edit......I just looked at a chart. There's a lot of signals to learn. Cripes! My old brain is full now.

Haha...the world is not free. These people are not doing this work for free they have to feed themselves. If you don't want it then don't buy it. No, one is forcing you.

I will happily pay for this if it is as advertised and many others will as well.

I meant to ask this before. Are they going to tie the SAR helo, S3, and E2D to the new carrier so we don't have to script it?

work = pay.

whats so hard about understanding that?

How dare people demand money in exchange for goods or services. Why I never. The audacity.

So there I was asking to be paid and the home owner said no.

I had a crew of guys work 4 weeks to build an extension on this persons house and at the end they refused to pay because they thought it should have been there from the start!

Supposedly there will be some relaxing room, but this is digital combat simulator, not digital meeting simulator. This is also not digital navigating to a carrier simulator. I'm sure some people will pay for this, but a good amount of people wont pay 50 bucks for some carrier.

Ready room / relaxing room with PLAT camera for MP?

Can we all meetup in VR too? Sounds cool.... I'd pay money for that.;)

From the preview video it is worth every cent that went into its glorious creation

Cant wait for such a detailed carrier.

It makes much more fun landing the F-14 and F-18.

Buisness as usual on deck:smilewink:
