Did ED thought about ''demo'' mode?

With now 9 modules out, and over 20 from ED and different 3rd parties that are comming, if you look at this from a ca$h perspective it's starting to make a lot.

 

When it was the beginning of DCS World I know that some(me included) bought every module to support ED, even if we were not flying them all. But in 3-4 years, it will be over 1000$ of add-ons and I don't know if people will buy them all(I know I wont).

 

So I was wondering if ED tought of making some kind of trial mode for the comming planes.

Seeing vids are great and all, but it's nothing like having the feel of the plane though your HOTAS and testing it the way you want.

 

Some games are doing it(like Euro Truck Simulator): Something like having the full plane for 1 hour, than you have the choice to buy it or uninstall it.

They could probably do that for STEAM's weekend thingys.

even on steam, DRM Activation is still Starforce Proactive.

 

Unless Starforce Proactive supports 3-day trial keys... I dunno if they do or not.

I dont think SF Proactive even supports "Free for a Time Period",

Most things on Steam, use Steam's DRM, which makes a big difference with what they can do.

trust me, DCS on Steam still uses Starforce Pro-Active.... which is why you can goto "View CD Keys" and copy the Key to the Clipboard, then paste it in Standalone DCSW's Activation Window and hit OK and it activates.

 

Infact, when it installs a module on Steam, the Starforce Proactive Activation window will come up briefly, as the process through steam is automated (Box pops up with key entered already, activates, and closes with no user input).
