Blech Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hi, DCS: F/A-18C Hornet FAQ Q: Will the Hornet also be available on Steam? A: Certainly, but Steam does NOT allow Early Access of DLC products (like all of our paid-for products on Steam). It will come to Steam once it is out of Early Access. :dunno: I`m a little confused Normandy, Assets Pack, Viggen, Spitfire, ... are available on Steam Does this mean they are no longer "Early Access" and are now "Release" and the E-Shop needs an update in this cases ?

This means that steam access delayed from weeks to months in relation too the early access who purchase on ED page. Early access means that not all features are there and tested when the plane comes in early access. All features in Viggen and Spitfire are there. That's my opinion, maybe someone else has another answer. Maybe this helps.

some1 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think there was a time when only modules with released status were available on Steam, but that's not the case any more. Don't know if that's a change in Steam policy, or ED. Early access means that not all features are there and tested when the plane comes in early access. All features in Viggen and Spitfire are there. Sptifire doesn't have bombs, droptanks, there are still pending changes in the graphics and fm department. Viggen doesn't have the promised campaign, pilot in cockpit, the manual is incomplete and hasn't been touched since February, and there are still plenty of bugs to fix.

It looks like they do release certain modules now on Steam even before they reach formal release status, as long as they are in a good enough shape to not cause negative steam reviews.

some1 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Well, I just read what Wags posted in the other thread and I think it's a grey area really. They don't mark those modules as "Early Access" on Steam, so they can sell to wider audience, yet they keep them in early access here, so we can't really complain that stuff doesn't work or is unfinished. Because hey, it's a beta!

some1 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yes, to be precise, he said Steam doesn't allow Early access DLCs. But it looks like it doesn't prevent ED from selling modules still in early access.

Blech Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hi, Thx for response It seems that something has changed and "It will come to Steam once it is out of Early Access" is no longer valid and confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patersonski Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hi, Thx for response It seems that something has changed and "It will come to Steam once it is out of Early Access" is no longer valid and confusing My interpretation of what’s changed is that, starting with the Mirage, keys for Steam modules could no longer activate the same modules on the standalone platform. Since that time modules have popped up on Steam at a noticeably faster clip. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Rig: i7-6850K, Sapphire 6900XT, 32GB RAM, Asus X99-Pro board.
