v44n Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Nice! Amazing opportunity to try the viggen & f14. Which Steam version do I need? 2.5 Open beta or just 2.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOViper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I have both of them, but I love this idea. Hopefully a friend of mine will try out (and buy) the Viggen.

draconus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Nice! Amazing opportunity to try the viggen & f14. Which Steam version do I need? 2.5 Open beta or just 2.5? Both will work but latest Open Beta is better choice atm - contains newest fixes and corrections.

joker62 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Excellent!!! I can't wait to try the F-14B. Surely the trial also concerns the OB, considering that several fixes and tweaked into 2.5.6.50979 were made just yesterday. Thank you Heatblur.

What went wrong guys? Something Steam related? (wants to fly the Tomcat, but only has Steam version of the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 What went wrong guys? Something Steam related? (wants to fly the Tomcat, but only has Steam version of the game) Yes, unfortunately. We are btw still trying to make it happen, but it doesnt look good - suffice to say steam can be a bit complicated at times. In any case a possibility is to just download and install the standalone caucasus and try either Tomcat and Viggen there, and then at the end just uninstall it and get it on steam if you like it. I know it is anything but ideal, however at least you are not left out of the free trial like that. Should anything change regarding steam today, we will let you know of course. Again our apologies, we really wanted to offer both.

kraze Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have no problem temporarily converting Steam DCS installation to standalone to try modules out - but what I really want to know (as a Steam DCS player) - will the discount be available on summer sale on Steam next week? I'd rather not mix the two versions and have my eggs in a single basket so to speak - if I'll like F14 (and I have a STRONG impression I will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 well played Heatblur! You can't try the Viggen and give it back. Thanks for the opportunity to test it for free. Makes it a no brainer for 50% off. :thumbup: one auto-thrust-reverser landing and you look like: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yufighter Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have a problem looking ahead from the Vigen cockpit. It is as if there is a black square plate between the pilot and the HUD. The view to the left and right is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverholt Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Ahhh again whyyyy...I never get to try out modules because I use the steam version. I was really looking forward to trying out the F-14 to see what the hype was about before I bought it. Oh well...maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yufighter Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Beautiful planes. Is it really that easy to break them? Is it really possible to maneuver with such a load that causes wing breakage and such rotation, while AJS37 can be controlled even without wings?

third_man Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Tomcat is very nice, love it. But I won't buy it, because for the money I want to fly a new shiny F-14B from 1987, not from the 2010s junk yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterVince Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Beautiful planes. Is it really that easy to break them? Is it really possible to maneuver with such a load that causes wing breakage and such rotation, while AJS37 can be controlled even without wings? Remember that these aircraft do not have a flight control system. So you can make it do whatever you want. With the F-14 you took up to 30g, which is comparable to the maximum g-load a missile can take. So it is not surprising that the aircraft breaks. With the Viggen you took a sustained 13g, which is already a lot. So i am not surprised again. In fact you say it's easy to break them but it is because you do not feel the g-force in a simulation. IRL with so much g the pilot would be killed or passed out.
