I havent been able to play alot. Ive revamped all the key default layouts to custom key layouts to free up commonly used keys in combo with a 3-bank joystick layout. This system needs a clickable cockpit unfortunately as some shortcuts simply dont exist anymore.
The Toad hasnt anything clickable. I could memorise and create a sticklayout too, however that going back to 2D and feels like a step back in evolution. So i most likely wait untill it will be clickable. If not, then i most likely wont fly it anytime soon. Is there a systemsmanual somewhere btw? Do i need to learn 'stick 'n' stone' russian for it?
Giving something away for free is always good to keep a community happy. Props on that and thank u very much.
However more people come to the conclusion that they need to save their money to be able to better handle recessions. They spend their money more wisely.
Something good, fully working and free might pursue those people to bring their money to your products in slightly more difficult times. Im not attacking DCS in any way, but some development is, without being somebodys fault, somewhat behind scedual. Something free is often a good glue to buy more time so people will stick around. When looking at the number of multiplayer servers available currently you get a good view on how many time people invest in DCS. I know, DCS is working on it. Thus far DCS has managed to make me wait for their upgrades instead of the 'kapitalism' premium upgrade that comes with Battlefield 3 or the everlasting resturning pay-subscription of World of Tanks and Eve Online for instance.
