Yeah, the radar elevation on axis is a deal breaker for me. JF 17 is grounded until further notice. I hope you get it sorted soon so I can have fun with it. There is probably more than what I saw while trying to setup keybinds. Com 1, Com 2 is not bindable to hotas? Gear lever (not a big deal to start with) Canopy (same) Congratulations on your release.

You know what, me 2. Break even and how much a developer need to actually grow and be able to produce another module. One thing is for sure, if they were in it for pure bank they would not be making modules for DCS. They have to be passionate about this as well. I mean say what you want about ED, EA model etc. But I believe they are passionate about this as well. So are we as customers.

It's 69.99 and that's a fair price. I'm not going to argue to much about it but as far as I know you will have to pay extra for that super carrier. Won't the JF-17 come with any campaign? Edit:looked it up you are correct, I was thinking about EDs carrier. Fair price is subjective I hope you understand that? Also I don't think you really understand what I was saying earlier. Customer base is small for modules. It's not like a AAA title or big games where they have millions of customers. So since you did some math I'll do some as well. You set customer limit to 200 (this is almost their maximum customer count). 50% would not buy at 80 and they make 8000, but after 12 months they have a sale at 65 and make another 6500. Now they made 14500 instead of 13000. As I said, it's all about return on investment and how fast you need/want your money. It's also based on how much it cost to develop it, the quality and their reputation. I hope the module is good and as complete as it seems, good luck Deka

Thanks Matt, there's some confusion because that's not what you said in your video.

Wait, you're pretty much saying I'm not entitled to my opinion of that 80 might be a fair price but you saying it should be cheaper and that's okay? I didn't say it must be 80. I also said only Deka knows what a fair price is because they know how much time and energy that had been spent on it. Return on investment you know. I also think you are unfair when comparing it to the Harrier. What if the JF-17 is almost complete. They made their own ground radar, it has datalink and radar. That in itself makes it a fair bit more complicated than the Harrier. Compare it to the F16 or hornet instead, the level of detail and systems seems similar. But as of yet we don't know, thye can charge 80, but it better not be another F-16 half baked release or the Harrier mid baked with not much happening efter release. Because if that is the case 80 is to much, but atm we don't know.

Aaah, I haven't worked in marketing but I will tell you this. Your reasoning is flawed, only Deka knows what they should charge, but it has to be in proportion to complexity and time invested into the module. Quality and complexity wins over popular model in my opinion. Also your unknown module/maker point is not a good one. If it is bad it will sell badly 80 or 40 doesn't matter, word will spread quickly and there will be YouTube reviews etc. As for JF-17 not being as popular as F-16, true it's not iconic, but it's not like we sim pilots have hundreds of modules to choose from. This will be the most modern we have in the game. But here's some good bussiness for you. If they charge 40-50 for it, they have to sell 2x to make the same or a little bit more than one for 80. That means they can sell almost 50% less copies for the same amount of profit and still have potential to make more when and if they drop to a lower pricepoint. If they start at a lower pricepoint they will saturate the market faster, faster profit but less gain and 80 is not an unreasonable price, many other modules have sold for that price and from what I have seen in a far less completed state than this one is, makes sense right.
