Mattressi Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Originally there were going to be 3 free planes, but it was changed to one free plane. I never ended up seeing a statement which said which plane would b the free one. Has there been any announcement about which plane will be the free plane for DCS WWII? If not, does anyone know and could say? Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed any announcement on it and I'm curious to find out which one it will be.

Mattressi Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Confusion? Huh? I'm not sure that answers my question...I didn't realise backers voted for the free plane though. Has the vote already happened? If not, does anyone know when it will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiplash Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think it makes sense if you don't think about... Actually, where I think it gets confusing is for the backers at the $1 to under $40 level who have less then six flyables. For example, if you pledged $1 you get three flyables. And based off the new backer site you can choose any three of the six. But if one is given away free of charge then technically a $1 backer would get four flyables if they choose their three wisely. Not sure if this is how it will work. I think those at the $1 should really only have two choices and one given for the whole system to make sense to me.

For me, I'm just wondering because I have some friends who are moderately interested, but they both only want to fly the P-47. I was hoping to find out what the free aircraft is (but it seems it's not yet known) so that if it's not the P-47, I can choose 3 P-47s and give my friends the keys (the things you do to make friends fly with you...). But if it is the P-47, I'd hate to have essentially wasted 3 of my choices by picking the free aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyre Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well, there was this poll that had the P-47 in the lead for the free flyable: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114805&page=3 Maybe, when he gets the time, luther1 can pop in and let us know what plane was chosen to be the freebee.

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 well, iirc then Luthier said once, that eventually the free flyable will be selected by the backers...so i guess there will be another backers-only poll at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin-27 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Which plane is the free plane? I think this will be answered during the Alpha, if not sooner. I'd imagine the alpha will include the one free flyable plane that is included with DCS:WWII. That still gives everyone plenty of time to adjust their selections before DCS:WWII is officially released and licenses for the six aircraft are sent. But it does raise one big question... Why is the "free" aircraft even listed for us if it is included with the main sim. Licenses for that free aircraft would basically be worthless. Do you get to choose your one free plane from the six upon download of DCS:WWII? I think I just tied my brain in a knot. EDIT: I guess it was officially stated that the free a/c would be either the 47, Spit or 109. So that narrows it down, but my other question remains.

This is the table that showed rewards and $1 just got those people a backer medal. There will be one free flyable that anyone can get to try out DCS WW2. After that, as a backer you had to put in $20 to get 1 of the non-free flyables, $30 for 2 and $40 or more for all of the non-free flyables.

felthat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Bounder, check out kickstarter updates $1 backers get 3 planes (im one of em so i can check), it was mentioned in news on kickstarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abburo Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 There will be only one free plane for WWII engine. Like the SU-25T for World will be P-47 for 1944. At least this is the poll result. Initially it was discussed about 3 free planes, but this plan has been reworked to only one.

Bounder Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 As Merlin and Abburo said, it was decided that there would only be 1 free-flyable. This was after feedback from the backers - Luither made a post about the outcome here The rest would have to be paid for as why back the kickstarter otherwise? The table was published in the kickstarter in update number 2 and also makes no mention of the $1 backer level, nor the $10 level getting any paid-for flyables. The $1 backer level describes "Our heartfelt thanks, access to the backer section with weekly development updates, videos, and more, and a special BACKER medal on our official forums."

Azref Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I was under the impression that backers pledging less that $20 only got the free flyable and access to the forums and updates like Bounder mentioned above. I've read through all of the project updates and nowhere does it say $1 backers would get 3 aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounder Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Ahhhh - I see where this is coming from - on the kickstarter main page under flyables it said: If you back the project at any time before the funding period ends on October 5th, your rewards will be as previously stated. Here's what you'll be able to fly: $0 (non-backer): ONE aircraft (either P-47, Spitfire, or Bf.109, to be voted for by backers) $1: THREE aircraft (P-47, Spitfire, and Bf.109) $20: FOUR aircraft (P-47, Spitfire, Bf.109, plus one more of your choice) $30: FIVE aircraft (P-47, Spitfire, Bf.109, plus two more of your choice) $40: ALL aircraft (all aircraft in the initial release) This was then changed after the feedback but it states that those who backed under the old tier level would get three flyables as promised: Free version of DCS WWII contains ONE free aircraft (to be voted for by backers). We have new rewards: $1 NEW and $10 NEW: rewards as before, but no additional aircraft (one flyable total) $20 NEW: access to one additional release aircraft (two total) $30 NEW: access to two additional release aircraft (three total) $40 NEW: access to three additional release aircraft (four total) $60 NEW: access to ALL additional release aircraft (six total if we get the Me.262) We'll lock down the old rewards of the same level. Anyone who's already in those OLD rewards tiers, i.e. those who backed the project on the promise of three flyable aircraft, WILL receive the three previously promised planes on release. To get the thread back on topic, there was a poll about which of the the Spit, 109 or P47 should be the one free flyable but not sure if it was official http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114805 Edited March 27, 2014 by Bounder My PC specs: Win10 64 Pro, CPU i7-3820 4.4GHz, 16GB RAM, GPU Nvidia 1070 (8gb vram).
