PRE-PURCHASE DCS: L-39 ALBATROS Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, bought this sweet plane already. In the russian forum is a statement by Chizh:

 

"Будет DCS 1.5, переходная версия к 2.0.

Рендер будет новый, а земля пока старая - Кавказ"

 

stating that the L-39 will come as DCS 1.5 with a part of the new rendering engine. Could it be X-mas in september?

i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat

Wow this is great news, two L-39 variants along with the new rendering system in September, I was kinda wishing I could pre-order it through steam and take advantage of the discount like some of the other fellas here. I'm guessing that won't be possible though?

Again, there's no advantage to the Steam version, switch to standalone and don't look back.

Yepp, you are right :)

 

Maybe I will be reading both language versions in the future before posting :music_whistling:

About a month to wait though. That's bearable. If you got $40USD in bonus I think you deserve a -80% on the L-39 module.

 

Could be closer to 2 months. They could release it towards the end of September.

Now the wait begins, can't get it til the 1st, looking forward t 1.5:pilotfly::joystick:

 

I cringe when you say that my friend. I really really hope we see it day one of September, but ED left it open. I think it's a safe play on their part to use as much of the month as they need to shore up the release and make it as clean as possible. Not trying to be a negative Nancy, but I just have this feeling. :)

I have been considering it, the only downsides would be that I couldn't take advantage of the Steam sales when it comes to DCS modules, which, admittedly doesn't happen all that often. Moreover I would be missing the auto update feature through steam. I haven't been playing DCS World very long so I'm not sure how often ED has sales on their site.

 

Anyhow I do believe this module is definitely worth the price especially for two variants of the plane.

You can still buy modules on Steam :thumbup: And DCS will auto update when started if there's an update.

Hah, I just realized that after I thought about it for a minute :doh: I'll probably end up doing that then, I didn't know that DCS had an auto-update feature as well. Thanks for the clarification! :thumbup:

I have 86$ in bonus... I will use part of them on this one on day one of launch.

 

Good call on selling C and ZA in same package and at a normal price I might say! In September this will be the most complete trainer in DCS right from day one.

 

2 Cockpits

PFM

great quality from the screenshots

Planned cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft

 

49$ without discounts.

 

GREAT!

I'll wait for more info about ZA variant. With only two hardpoints and no gun, L39C does not interest me much.

Just purchased it. Now, can anyone help me get September here more quickly?

The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

I know what ZA can do, thing is, that's not the one we're going to get initially.

So for me, there's no rush. Esp that I already have more DCS bonus money than I could spend on this order.

The prepurchase news blurb makes no mention of it so Ill ask about it here:

 

Will the DCS: L-39 module feature a campaign of some kind? Perhaps some kind of fighter pilot certification training/test missions or something along those lines? IMO a trainer aircraft module would really be ideal for this kind of campaign.

Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.
