cichlidfan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 More than $60, which is the only conclusion that can be drawn from his statement.

remi Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Honestly, I will pay whatever ED will sell it for. I have been waiting for this game since 1992 (the original F/A-18 Hornet 1.0 on Mac). If there is one module to have, this one is it. Has everything you could ever want, and the systems they modeled for it are breathtaking. I'm going to speculate on a bundle though, and I will say: $99.99 for module, $69.99 pre-order price, $29.99 carrier ops module (including training), $39.99 for SOH. ($150 for everything?)

dimitrischal Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Whatever the price I will buy it. Prerelease bundle. But I want to state I would pay triple the f18 price for the tomcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remi Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Whatever the price I will buy it. Prerelease bundle. But I want to state I would pay triple the f18 price for the tomcat. Since tomcat and hornet share the same carrier ops , I don't think carrier would be included with either, though both could be bundled. I think hornet and tomcat will be same price, lest one be bought preferentially over the other. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a spiral bound manual, chart, poster, etc. That hasn't happened for any module since DCS World was released so I would not expect it for this one either. Prior to DCS World a manual was produced for only two products out of the three.

SoH will, also like NTTR, around $49.99 - it need more work as NTTR, it will be bigger as Normandy and also is an active war zone (from times to times), so exact data are not easy to get!

Bidartarra Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Voted $69.99, the big question is the inclusion or not of carriers and if they'll be necessary in MP. If they are not I'll get them whenever during a sale. If it's more than 69.99 just for the plane I may wait for a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texac Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I guess it won't be higher than $79.99 maybe even $69.99 because there aren't that many people that would buy a module for more than $79.99 except a very few people that want to be nice to ED. Rather than willing to pay $99.99 for a single module, which would be to much money for DCS World & Hornet newcomers, buy the module a second time. For such a module that would reach a much wider audience than any other module except a few others it would be a pity if only a small percentage of those new interests would buy the module till a sale comes out. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflected Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Keep in mind that it's not only people in the Western World that play DCS. Here in Eastern Europe I have to think twice before spending even 50-60 bucks on a sim. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero.ger Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) a mindset like "whatever the price i buy it" is the reason why prices for games are constantly rising... (and why certain other company constantly drop the quality of thier games, people buy them) look at the F5, it doesnt even have a campaign just a few mission... 60 bucks is max, and then it must include all things it need to stand on its own (a carrier, a campaign that is worthy) Edited July 3, 2017 by Nero.ger 2 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

probad Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 games are already dirt cheap entertainment, especially once and done payments in a time when devs are still nevertheless expected to maintain their product afterwards as if it as a service. 100$ is nothing for the effort that's going into the fa-18.

Atooyi Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Well, 70-80 or 100 seems too much to me when compared to other DCS modules, but when I look at other simulation platforms and I see the price tags for study level addons, 70 or 80 dollars wouldn't change my mind about buying the hornet so much but 100 dollars just for the plane without the carrier module? well my answer would be a big big NO with that pricing policy!!!!!

gerd Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I know people who already stopped buying modules since they got more expensive ~ 2 years ago. When the price of the module was usually $40 and people could wait for sales up to 70% if they wanted, they were eventually buying even modules they were not interested in. Now the base price is higher and discounts lower, they simply lost their purchasing apetite. But ED is the only one who has access to the sales figures, so it is fully up to them to set the price in order to maximize their revenues... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Considering competitors on other flight sim platforms with study level F-18 sims legacy or otherwise I would say more than $69.99 USD would be too much considering these competitors have carrier ops included in their sims.

Guest Guest Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 The problem is DCS players are too loyal so Devs know they got you and you'll pay no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
