Hi, I sent you an email on 29 July, as I'm having trouble with my MiG-21 key, too. Maybe you have overlooked it, so I sent the email again today. If you could take a look at it, I would be very grateful. Best regards

It's been a long time, so correct me if I'm wrong. :) As far as I can remember in regard to certain engines at least: Leaner mixture burns faster (unless it becomes too lean). So the combustion is faster and maximum pressure of ignited mixture occurs earlier relative to the movement of the piston. As a result this happens when the combustion chamber volume is smaller (due to piston position) which causes higher pressure and higher temperatures, especially at the cylinder head.

Kickstarter and PayPal tally - Thursday October 2nd

Official ED-Email-Newsletter would achieve most, I think - if that's possible. :helpsmilie: Other than that, I would focus on getting existing backers to move up. - You could add some more extras, like a printed A3 aircraft recognition chart, a printed A3 Normandy map, ... that people could choose from + MATRIX Tier 9, 10, 11 ... 99 :smilewink: - And some goodies for the lower tiers, like for example rendered digital desktop wallpapers of all the aircraft at $10, a digital aircraft recognition chart at $20, a digital Normandy map at $50, ... I guess people here have a lot of ideas regarding both physical and digital extras they would pay for if you ask. Just look at the tiers where you currently have a lot of backers and think about how to get them to move upward at least one tier. -
Best option for the free plane imo would be the plane that's most beginner friendly (relatively easy to fly) and still useful and fun in dogfights.

Both $0 and $1 for three full-DCS aircraft is way too cheap, it makes people feel those planes are almost worthless, like in World of Tanks or War Thunder.

ED-Newsletter: If Eagle would do you the big favour of sending out an official email-newsletter about the Kickstarter, you coud reach the many DCS-players who don't read forums. 1. A killer video: All that really counts for getting media coverage is an impressive MAIN-Kickstarter-video + screenshots + good project description. Screenshots and description for DCS WWII 1944 are good, the main-video is the problem. Impressive video = good in-game-graphics (maybe with a little bit of post-processing added) + good music / sound effects + a short story that immediately captures the interest of the guy who's watching. Of course this can't be done in just a few days as it's expensive and time consuming, but you may want to have something similar at hands for further pre-sales of WWII 1944 through your own website. Examples: a) b) 2. New rewards: Main focus now should be to get existing backers to spend more. So maybe it would make sense to introduce a new tier / tiers that gets you any future content / aircraft for DCS:WWII for free. At a high price tag you wouldn't give away much future sales because people willing to give that much for your Kickstarter are going to spend anyway, I guess. You could also split this up at different price tags: - All future aircraft for DCS:WWII free - All future aircraft and maps for DCS:WWII free - All future aircraft and maps for DCS:WWII free + Alpha and Beta access Just meant as an example, but don't make it to cheap if you go for it. 3. Taking PayPal: A must-have if it's possible. 4. Changes to project features: Only one flyable aircraft at DCS-level for free - if you sell your product too cheap people are going to think it's low quality. Sounds good, but makes the pledges a bit more complicated (we already have quite a few ;)) I definitely wouldn't give 3 full-DCS aircraft away for $1 - that's way too cheap. 5. Stretch goals: - A flyable Me.262 as first stretch goal is optimal in my opinion as it is cost-efficient to do, maybe appeals more to the modern-plane/jet-people and adds more variation than another prop-plane. - Next best thing would be a flyable B-17, but too costly at the moment. 6. Future training / fun plane: Maybe something like the Fieseler Storch? :) Most Kickstarters get most of their money during the first and the last few days - so keep up your good work! :thumbup:

Works now, thank you! Purchased one module using the discount code and a few other things at regular price directly from Eagle's website (instead of the steam sale) to make sure you guys get some money for making this great sim. :thumbup:
-
I prefer to directly buy from Eagle's website, they get more of the money this way, I guess.

Last two Fridays have already been lots of fun - attending. :)

Hi Merlin, Just tested it on your sever. When choosing an air-start-slot I get the Training Staffel skin on the red side P-51s. But for the ground-start-slots on red side I still get the US default skin.

Hi, 1. Download / Install the Modules from DCS-Website 2. Start singleplayer or multiplayer mission 3. Enter Gamefly key for the module you started when prompted by the game (for the Black Shark 2 - Upgrade you have to install BS1 to some folder on you harddrive first, I think) Hope that helps, good luck!

Not yet. I missed the summer sale by 1 day (perfect! ;) ), so I'm waiting on this one, too.

They are currently searching for flight model testers for War Thunder, who "will receive a payment for your time and effort". http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/50374-fm-testers-required/
