Atooyi Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Well, I stated that I won't buy this hornet till it's complete in this forum sometimes ago, but I prefer to pre-purchase and pay 60 instead of 80, but for me, the question is not about buying, it's about the time. As the news letter says the EA will be around the end of spring which will be 6 months from now, I will pre-purchase the hornet, but won't be my top priority for now, I will probably buy multiple copies for the guys in my squad, but I'm not sure when.

Padonis Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Something else is written here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/ "DCS: F/A-18C Hornet is planned to be available for download as Early Access by the end of Spring 2018." Everyone should complain about such a long preorder and not support such ideas. The next module will become the standard, and the next preorder will last for a year ... Unfortunately, most of you will still be applauding ED, despite this approach. I am saddened by the lack of respect for the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of respect? nonsense end of spring was given so ED have time if anything comes up that may be difficult. And it could be sooner. As I said, end of Spring is just latest possible time. Some of you are missing the "by" in by end of Spring 2018. if you dont want to pre order, don't it is that simple. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Art-J Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Given the fact that quite a chunk of advertised, ground-braking new avionics and weapons systems tech will not be implemented at a time of initial release, thus making the plane even less combat-capable in some missions than current modules like A-10C or Mirage, one should make purchasing decision carefully. Based on previous experiences it will very likely be well into 2019 until all features are implemented and working. That is in my opinion more important planning aspect than +/- 20 bucks. Doesn't apply to the guys who are so crazy about multi-role fighters they will get'em at any completion stage and price, of course. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Danneskjold Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The Stennis we have in game is very simple since no US based carrier aircraft were player controlled previously - not counting user mods. You cannot compare what is in the game today to what ED is working on to support the Hornet. So that's a "no," the stennis doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and it will probably always be like that. People have to develop an aircraft themselves. Only then they would realize how much effort it is. Well, a lot do actually. That's something we should not forget. Personally, I think the modules are worth twice or even thrice the money. But it's an "optimization problem". Not many would/could afford it for the price it is actually worth. So yes, $60 is a lot of money and I understand that not everyone is happy. But at least to me it is still a bargain given what we actually get.

Johnny_Rico Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was shocked to see that it is available for prepurchase however it was disappointing that the early access isn't until the end of spring. Not in EDs part by any means, I will be deploying in early spring and wont get to fly it until late fall when I get back stateside! :doh::doh::doh: Not sure if I want to prepurchase now for the $20 off or wait till I get back and see if it goes on sale at all, I have been eagerly awaiting this module! Just wait until the actual release date is confirmed then in the last 10 minutes before it is released buy then Money is better off in your bank account earning you interest and you will still get the discount, it is a win win for you :-) METAR weather for DCS World missions Guide to help out new DCS MOOSE Users -> HERE Havoc Company Dedicated server info Connect IP: 94.23.215.203 SRS enabled - freqs - Main = 243, A2A = 244, A2G = 245 Please contact me HERE if you have any server feedback or METAR issues/requests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelation Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So that's a "no," the stennis doesn't work. No, that is not what I typed. I typed the Stennis, that we have in game, is a very simple rendition since no US player controlled aircraft currently operate from a carrier. What is in game works just fine for the AI. Well except for the recent release of the Harrier, but it doesn't operate from the Stennis anyways. What the Stennis will be for the launch of the Hornet has yet to be divulged.

em4joshua Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I preordered it to show my support for the project and DCS in general. This is a small community compared to many other gaming communities, and we basically only have two real options for high fidelity study flight sims that carry boom. I think the module is reasonable priced and from what has been shown in the videos thus far for 2.5 and the F-18, 2018 will likely be one of the best years for flight sims that carry boom. I say preorder and show your support, but it is your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrzI Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 My take is that I want to support DCS because of their outstanding work. I bought the Ka-50 just because of that. I never actually fly it. Not into choppers. So yes, US$59 for pre-release is a steal in my mind. Especially since that also includes me upgrading from DCSW 1.5 to 2.5 for free. DCSW 2.5 development did not just happen overnight... Keep up the good work DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegOhm_SD Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Im sorry but today $60 is not alot of money. Thats the price of a carton of Cigs or Dinner for two. There are so many things you can throw $60 at and have nothing to show for it. Not so much to sacrifice to support your hobby. Sure we spend alot for our hardware, but Comparatively, this hobby is pretty reasonable. 1 Cooler Master HAF XB EVO , ASUS P8Z77-V, i7-3770K @ 4.6GHz, Noctua AC, 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro, EVGA 1080TI 11GB, 2 Samsung 840 Pro 540GB SSDs Raid 0, 1TB HDD, EVGA SuperNOVA 1300W PS, G930 Wireless SS Headset, TrackIR5/Wireless Proclip, TM Warthog, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, 75" Samsung 4K QLED, HP Reverb G2, Win 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
