Oh I'm pretty sure you'll get your money's worth out of it, my friend. And I'm very certain I will.

I think a lot of it just has to do with the fun factor. You're jumping in, getting your slice of the (admittedly unlimited) pie, feeling that little extra bit of expectation. There's also the idea of showing support to the developer and the sim in general. And the savings of course.

Best post ever!

I'm looking at that picture very closely but I'm not seeing any RCAF markings.

Pretty sure it is. That's the whole reason I stay with those heartless bas... I mean, with Nvidia. But I'm sure one the tech wizards here will have the low down.

That's my general outlook on many modules. Some modules I learn in depth (kind of) and some it's very superficial. The C-130 will be an in-depth module for me. It's right up my alley of what and how I want to fly.

I just fail to see how a $15 asset pack would split or fragment anything. We all have to pay for our toys. And if "the community" don't want to be split, fragmented, rent asunder, folded, bent, or discombobulated, they'll simply have to cough up the 15 dollar-e-doos like the rest of us. Also, and I'll end it here, I've had this discussion before. The end result was I posted that I had two free WWII assets packs to give away. And another guy had one to offer after my two were taken. Three free WWII asset packs total were offered. The exact amount of people who asked for the free WWII assets packs after a few days was... none at all. That was the cherry on the cake of my views of "the split community". That said, I wish you a good day and happy flying.

If "the community" can be split by an assets pack that costs little in the first place and also comes with a 30% discount, then the community isn't worth very much. This endless song and dance about how this, that, and everything else, "splits the community" is getting very old and very tired.

It's called "Digital Combat Simulator" but that doesn't mean you have to fly combat all the time. The quality of the planes and maps allows not only for great combat flights, but just flights period. It's a sandbox after all, it's what you make of it. And I make a lot of great non-combat flights. For my part, I'm here first and foremost for the flying. And DCS, certainly for me, has the best flightsim characteristics of them all. For sure I'm gonna blow **** up, but that's secondary to the quality of the flying. If it was just about the "pew pew" I'd be over with the Blore Blunder crowd flying from an exterior view. Barf! But that's not my thing. DCS gives me the tighest rightest flgithsim and the ability to blow **** up. My choice. And my choice regarding the C-130, is a great big "Yes please!"

I buy everything off Steam and always get the discounts. It's just that often they only kick in for a short time, maybe a week or so IIRC, and right at release.

As long as there is an RCAF skin all will be fine.

"Into The Blue Simulations" would be great. He's a pilot and knows his stuff big time. He does great reviews. Love to hear what he thinks of the C-130.

Your enthusiasm is yours to manage as you please, of course. My enthusiasm, however, remains enthusiastic. I want all the fancy flightsim enjoyment I can have. And a DCS C-130, for me certainly, is top of the list. And I'll pre-order, twice, to get my hands on that kind of flying fun. Actually I will pre-order twice, I'm getting one for me and one for a content creator. As stated, I'm very enthusiastic. I think this is a great step forward for the sim.

Seems to be the case that Steam always gets the discount.

I've got my Steam wallet loaded up for this. Just have to wait now. Probably going to be a Top 3 module for me right away. I spend a lot of time in DCS just flying for fun, and this will take it to the next level. I pop into the civy sim sometimes, spend ten-minutes, be unamused, and then get right back into DCS just to fly around and enjoy the planes. With the C-130 the deal is sealed. One sim fits all.
