walker450 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I just get moved into a new place and I'm ready to get back to simming more often. I only have Blackshark 2, P-51D, and A-10C. I really want to try some of these new modules but if I wait for a sale I could buy a few extra! Can someone refresh my memory from years past? Maybe a Memorial day sale coming up?

GeorgeLKMT Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Soon, probably June. Summer is coming ;) ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■
sobek Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Impossible to tell the future is, but they do come around quite frequently, so just hang in there. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
King_Hrothgar Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 My guess is there will be one sometime in the summer. They typically announce sales in the newsletter too, so sign up for that and you'll get a notification.
JPS2K Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I'm waiting for it myself. I just started out 2 weeks ago, but already bought the Huey and FC3. I want all of it, but I'm really not going to spend $500 to get it all. So I looked back over the last couple of years, and there is a pattern in sales. About every 2 months, so... June I hope.
escaner Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Summer sale has historically been on June, you can check the news in DCS site. There are also sales in Steam... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Two weeks, be sure Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
ctguy1955 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I bought everything on sale, but this time I just could not wait for the Mig21 so I just paid full price and its worth every penny ! I really look forward to 2.0 and I just wish that instead of DX 11, that it was going to be DX12.
cichlidfan Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 They usually have one during the Russian Christmas holiday, too! :) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Motokiume Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 All the previous sales are in the News section on the website: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/ Last year, the DCS Summer Sale was from 05 to 18 June 2014. The next DCS sale after that was 04 to 14 September 2014. However, I seem to remember there being a Steam Summer Sale as well at the end of July.
Ramstein Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 good, I keep passing up several aircraft... I really have enough, but then everyone else jumps in something I don't have.. Mig-21 is popular, plus I don't have any German WWII aircraft, yet.. ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR
Roadrunner Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 i had the impression of sales every three month on ED store, + speed sales and those on steam. @Ramstein, it's like collecting postage stamps, and eventualy you want to have all in colour on the DCS main screen :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

Mrgud Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 @Roadrunner - If I remember correct, you can install all the modules for free without activating them and enjoy full color display.
Rapidfire Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I would hazard a guess, June 1st week do to USA Memorial week of May 25th, and June WWII the 6th, :thumbup: :music_whistling:

MemphisBelle Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 @Roadrunner - If I remember correct, you can install all the modules for free without activating them and enjoy full color display. technically its possible...but I wish much fun for aborting the activationprocess for all the Modules that are not yet activated each time you start a Mission, enter MP or start the Mission Editor...I´d rather keep the modules uncolored that are not activated / purchased :noexpression: BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection

SkateZilla Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Activation is not required, nor is it asked for, when starting the ME. It'll ask you to activate installed modules when loading up the sim (after you hit fly and closes the UI).

USA_Recon Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 everyone waits for sales to buy modules... probably means the 'regular' prices are too high :) I know I'm waiting for Sabre! 1
Python Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 everyone waits for sales to buy modules... probably means the 'regular' prices are too high :) I know I'm waiting for Sabre! I don't think the prices are too high at all, not for the work that goes into them. I happily pay full price for stuff I really want like the Hawk, most of the modules in fact. It is just Human nature to want to save money however, we all know sales come around regularly which is why people are happy to wait for the modules they don't want urgently to get them for less money. I got the MI8 in the sale for instance, I probably wouldn't have purchased it otherwise so everybody wins. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I do not have all modules installed and that obsession about colored icons is kinda funny to me.
