sirrah Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Wouldn't be smart if ED announced sales in advance, would it :smilewink: If your friend doesn't want to pay full price, he'll just have to be patient. There's usually a couple of sales a year, so if you are patient enough, you never have to pay full price.

Rudel_chw Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 ... No one buys at normal price :D Yes, but many times I purchase items not on sale if their initial discount is reasonable, like the supercarrier, the p- 47 and the syria map.

Waxer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Have a friend who wants the F-16 but is only just starting his DCS adventure. Are any DCS sales coming up soon? Also let your friend know that F-16 is early in early access and explain what that means. I got the module and it is great, but there is a lot of work still needing to be done and it might be frustrating to someone new to DCS that is just expecting everything to work.

stormrider Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Also let your friend know that F-16 is early in early access and explain what that means. I got the module and it is great, but there is a lot of work still needing to be done and it might be frustrating to someone new to DCS that is just expecting everything to work. Not exactly. This open-beta argument is bs. There is a difference between expecting everything to work and expecting what little is there to work. If what is there is modeled wrong, you're doing negative training, therefore wasting time and getting frustrated. That is more counterproductive than non-constructive feedback. If on the other hand, feature wise, limited, but it's few features work as expected or advertised then the open beta argument would be valid. Right now, each feature is released piecemeal and fixes or further implementations are spaced by months apart leaving the module in a constant half-broken state. That's not open-beta.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted August 31, 2020 ED Team Share Posted August 31, 2020 Right now, each feature is released piecemeal and fixes or further implementations are spaced by months apart leaving the module in a constant half-broken state. That's not open-beta. It is early access wether you like it or not. I know you are very disheartened but please this constant belief that we are not meeting some expectation is wrong and unconstructive. Early access takes a lot of time, you made the choice to participate when you purchased early access F-16, it is clearly marked on our store page as early access. If you don't want the ups and downs of early development don't purchase early access, we will be grateful for the purchase when we release as completed. thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted August 31, 2020 ED Team Share Posted August 31, 2020 Have a friend who wants the F-16 but is only just starting his DCS adventure. Are any DCS sales coming up soon? Best guess for a sale is Autumn sales, late October, this is going by steams general dates ( we always participate in steam sales ), I don't have an official date for the next sale yet. thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Thinder Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Have a friend who wants the F-16 but is only just starting his DCS adventure. Are any DCS sales coming up soon? If he starts, I'd advise him to start with the A4 and wait until the F-16 price comes down, plus the A4 is a good plane to start with, plus its free. I started with the Mirage 2000C which is simpler than F-16 and it is already a complex system to manage, even with 1000 of slight sim hours under the belt... ...... Win 11Pro. Corsair RM1000X PSU.
