Summer Sale Extended | DCS Update | F-16C and F/A-18C New Features
Beirut replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
Nobody has a sense of humour. I was just having fun with the wording. I mean, c'mon, everyone want to be extra special. Need Nick Grey to pop in with that magnificent voice: "Everything is fine... you're awllll extra special pilots to us." -

I am an ED customer. Eight-years and four-digits worth. Just a shame we Steam folk aren't extra special pilots too. Oh well. -
Summer Sale Extended | DCS Update | F-16C and F/A-18C New Features
Beirut replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
The heading on the first page says: Extra special savings for extra special pilots! But there are no extra special savings for the Steam crowd. That means we're not extra special pilots. Now I'm sad again. -
Agreed. It's an excellent map with insane detail, but I tend to use it more for sightseeing, and takeoffs and landings, than anything else. I find it a bit... busy and flat. That's not a bad thing, it's just personal taste. I'm more of a Kola and South Atlantic kind of flyer. But that's the great thing about a variety of map styles, there's something for everyone. I'm sure there are a lot of people who think the Germany map is the cat's ass for their flying style. And it is an amazing map, but I wouldn't put it in my top three. Not because of a lack of quality, but geographic preferences.

The stars have aligned and I have a few days of crossover between my free trial period for a module I'm interested in at and a sale. Me I like dat.
-
Very cool!
-
Some Sinai love. Very nice!
-
And don't forget that there are several(!) sales every year. Except for the newest modules, you can always get a solid deal if you wait a bit.

DCS Summer Sale 2025 | MiG-29A Preview | Virtual Weapons Academy
Beirut replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
Gotta love all the sales. Might bite on the Mig-21. -
Yep, this is a great map. And as it's hotter than hell here today, I'm gonna put on the fan and fly over the winter textures later.
-
I hope someone makes a video soon. I want to see how it works.
-
Is that BAT bomb included with the release, because I'm seeing zero info or videos about it?
-
Can't imagine I'm the only person who loaded up a Huey, put on CCR, and went treetop over this map and went "Ooooohhhh!"
-
I will buy the Hellcat once we have a Hellcat.
-
Still no videos with the Bat bomb. I'm jonesing.

Kola Development Report | Bat Bomb Progress | F4U-1D on Finals
Beirut replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
I don't get all the complaining about the Kola map. It's quite a little hobby group of people whining about it. All I can say is if ya don't like it - don't buy it. That's simple enough. I bought the Kola map and I love it. All the maps have their own charm and uses. -
Oh yeah - thank you for the nice new map. Downloading now.
-
Looks great! And reinforces the truth that Kola is still being well maintained by ORBX. Love me some Kola map. For me it's a 65GB update. And I don't think that includes the new Marianas map. Glad I just put in a 2TB DCS-only NVME drive. .

Kola Development Report | Bat Bomb Progress | F4U-1D on Finals
Beirut replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
I feel like a bit of a cheesebag, but I can buy it on Steam and try it out for two-hours and return it if I don't like it. I usually don't do that intentionally as a "free trial", but I might this time. I've returned four or five modules I've bought over the years, but then rebought all but one. I find with the WWII planes it's more hit and miss with first impressions than with the jets and choppers. -

It might get me to buy the Corsair if the implementation is cool enough. 'Cause I mean... it has to be cool. -

If there is a Pacific Assets Pack and it's payware it's fine by me. As long as the toys are high quality I don't mind paying for them. -
Kola Development Report | Bat Bomb Progress | F4U-1D on Finals
Beirut replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
I don't see that at all. I think it's a very enjoyable map and ORBX isn't "retreating" from it at all. -
