A lot of new pledge options.

Thats what i was thinking Ron.Win/win!

Thanks that helped clear things up somewhat for me this morning, have now increased my pledge.

Sorry. I wrote a much more detailed post but I deleted it by mistake before posting. :doh: It was late and I was too drunk and just gave up.:lol:

You were talking about $150-$200 range.

@ $150 you have two options.

both give you all flyable planes, spiral-bound copy of a complete aircraft manual for the plane of your choice.

- The first one (DCS World tier 4 has two copies of DCSFW-190 D9 and two copies of DCS P-51. One for you one for a friend. You'll get to fly this in dcs world as soon as kickstarter is completed or in the case of the D9 when it's released.

- second one doesn't give you the DCS planes. You'll still get them, but only when the DCS WW2 Europe is released, but you get historical manuals for two planes and tactics manual.

@ $160 you get everything at first $150 pledge plus DCS WW2 Europe ALPHA access ( just for yourself)

@ $170 you get everything at @ $160 plus an extra ALPHA access to give away. So you and your friend can play the alpha from the start.

The $200 pledge is more confusing because it mentions "everything in the previous pledge" plus mention in the credits of the game plus custom T-shirt, but I don't know if the "previous level" means the new $170 pledge or the old $150 pledge (that one didn't have alpha access or keys for DCS planes from the start). I think he means the new $170 pledge when he says "previous level", but i'm not sure.

Hope this helps.

I was in the 200. pledge but up-graded that this morning. The 200. previous pledge referred to, is the original old 150.

Extra planes between the $100k and $375 level would make me contemplate upping my $110 pledge.

I'm not really interested in alpha access. I want to play with stuff that works and I wont have time for detailed testing so I wont be productive.

Pretty shure this is gonna make it over the 100k line, lets just hope they make good use of the additional bucks earned between initial and strech,

because I seriously doubt this will reach 375k. That said it there was a goal lets say at 200k, I would probably up my 100$ pledge..

Yea me too...I won't participate in the alpha I don't think, even though I could since its in my package. I want this to succeed just like all of us, so I am willing to do the pledge that I can afford.

Well, the goals Have changed since the threads creation,but now I agree with it more than previously!

 

/whines like a girl

 

Ya ya, I'm sure it's for the better... I hope atleast. I do love the B-17, just no, (read:none, nilch, zero, zip) interest in flying it.

I totally agree with this. The B-17 is a wonderful aircraft and stunningly beautiful, but I can only see it being fun to fly with a crew of two, three or more. It's significantly less appealing if you're an antisocial, friendless introvert like me. :)

The combination of this change in strategy and the (from my perspective) really shoddy and half-thought-through Kickstarter made me cancel my $112 pledge on Thursday night...

...but then my romance and desire to see this succeed got the better of me and I re-pledged the same amount on Friday afternoon.

I retain very serious doubts and misgivings about this project's management and timelines, but I am more than happy to be proven horribly, horribly wrong in the long term. :)

Actually, the B17 could be a wonderful plane to fly if proper AI is implemented for the empty seats, so that you have a full complement crew when flying, and you just switch between seats when needed.

Say you're flying on a bombing run... You fly there doing all the main piloting. You get attacked and you man the gunner stations to fight the baddies. When you ward off the attack, you get back in the pilot's seat and fly to the target. You switch seats and take the bombardier seat to deliver the payload.

A long mission would be pretty boring if you'd be constantly sitting in the same seat... Gunners in turrets only have work when the plane is under attack, the bombardier actually only works for the short time of the bombing run.

Also, what'd be really awesome: an opportunity to stand up from the pilot's seat and walk around the airplane unhindered, check systems, take a seat in one of the other stations etc... I guess I've been spoiled by Star Citizen's approach to multicrew vessels.

If we fail to get the B-17 flyable we will still have it in game which is nice, but will depend on how good are the AI.

Yes indeed , it helps a bunch! Thanks for taking the time to type all of this out!

I upped mine to 150, and elected to go with the second 150 dollar option. I already have the P-51 now, and as far as the FW190, I will be flying on the Allied side so probably would not be flying it much anyway, just trying to shoot it down I guess...

Thanks again,

well, my ADD kicked in a blast - i see ton of pledging options but i don't get which one is supposed to peek my interest. sorry for the inconvenience but can anyone explain what pledge is the "yeah! thats the stuff!" , because they all look the same to me. mustang i already own, alfa or gift planes i don't care for (as i rather see more finished product and don't have friends playing DCS )

I'd say that the $85 level is probably a good one as you'll get the FW-190 once ED release that into beta in DCS World.

I agree with Ron, ..would be a good choice

I'd say that the $85 level is probably a good one as you'll get the FW-190 once ED release that into beta in DCS World.

Can you please explain how that one makes more sence then just buying the FW for 50$ whenever it gets released ?. there has to be some sort of incentive of substance to pledge (like in SC ) but i seem to be missing it.

The incentive is that you're helping to get a game you're interested in made with the other $35. Or you can just wait until next Sept and get your 3 free flyables and buy the FW190 when it's released. From a purely economic point of view that's the way to go but if you feel like chipping in to the KS given how much entertainment you'll get from DCS WW2 then $35 doesn't seem like much of a stretch. All up to you.

I'd say that the $85 level is probably a good one as you'll get the FW-190 once ED release that into beta in DCS World.

Agree - that's the one I have selected. And then it seems impossible to just pledge 85 and skip the T-shirt mail costs so 85 becomes 97 :)

Or is there a way to skip the T-shirt? I would rather let the team have those last few bucks instead as I'm not interested in a T-shirt anyway...
