Horns Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Apologies if this has already been discussed, but the F-16 listing in the E-Shop shows no ETA as far as I can see. The button does say "PRE-PURCHASE", but there is no comment on when it will become available. If this hasn't been done yet, I'll make a personal request: After the drama with the F-14, please put a date instead of a season. I don't really think you should have to and I know most of us can tell that Autumn ends on December 21 but, it might save some conflict later if you put a solid date now. Just a thought.

Horns Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) They aren't going to give you a date. No date is fine with me, but with the F-14 some people felt that “this Winter” wasn’t explicit enough...

QuiGon Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 They aim for early autumn.

Horns Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 I think maybe I wasn't clear... I wasn't asking when it will be released. I'm just pointing out that the EA date has been omitted *from the E-Shop listing*. I don't think we've had a modern module up for pre-purchase without an ETA in my time here, so I thought I'd point that out in case it was a mistake. The further suggestion I was making in the first post was that, if they are going to add an ETA, that they use a date instead of a season, eg 12/21/19 instead of "Autumn". Personally, I don't mind when we get this bird, she will be worth the wait.

falcon_120 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Good suggestion. It will avoid complaints later down the road. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abburo Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I can see and also understand a bit of rush on having this aircraft in pre-sales. However ED, please ensure same level of quality as F-18.

Donut Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 To me, early Autumn would mean at the very latest, before the mid-point of the season, which would be November 4. If you split Autumn into 4 quarters, the first quarter would end October 14. A release around then would make the most sense as being early Autumn. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you split Autumn into 4 quarters, the first quarter would end October 14. A release around then would make the most sense as being early Autumn. I must admit, I hadn't registered the descriptor of "early" or "beginning of" before I posted this thread. I would agree that early Autumn means before the mid point of the season. Beyond that we get subjective (I would think first third because I think of it as 'early', 'mid' or 'late'), and that's before we tackle whether it's astronomical or meteorological Autumn. I can definitely understand why ED might choose not to give ETAs anymore, but since they had mentioned 'early' or 'beginning of' Autumn in the newsletter I figured not having it in the E-Shop listing was an oversight rather than a choice.

schurem Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 We'll get it when it's ready, no use trying to get a date or wanting one. That will only set yourself up for disappointment. I5 9600KF, 32GB, 3080ti, G2, PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kengou Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Easy solution: Don't pre-purchase until a date is given. The discount will still be available up until release day pretty much so there's absolutely nothing lost by doing that.
