jejsus Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 This will be the first aircraft that made me so excited that I'll prepurchase if needed. No question about early access.
some1 Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Can anyone explain the value of a pre-sale other than it allowing time for ED and/or 3rd party to polish whatever is needed to get it close to perfect? I say put it out there with the "regular" pricing and let them maximize their profits. The hardcore followers will get it regardless and those that are on the fence will likely get it during one of the many sales that ED has. :) Presale in software is a way for the devs to get your money early without giving you anything back at that moment. Useful if the dev is short on money and the product is still not in a state that would justify release. Or "early access" in case of DCS. The extra time is rarely used for polishing, more often it's needed to make the software at least usable for the brave early customers and impatient kids (aren't we all ;) ).

jejsus Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Well they did polish Mirage after, didn't they?
Harry.R Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 be patient guys, I havn't finished with it yet :) Being serious now, ED and RAZBAM will give us plenty or warning before it is in early access so don't worry. I hope that's what they've already been doing. This 'announce then release several weeks later' is a killer. Why not just release into early access, we've caught the hype train already.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 13, 2017 ED Team Posted October 13, 2017 I hope that's what they've already been doing. This 'announce then release several weeks later' is a killer. Why not just release into early access, we've caught the hype train already. All modules go through internal testing with ED, RAZBAM have been pretty open about what is going on and I like that. The alternative is not to say anything at all, and then users get frustrated with lack of communication. Either way someone is never happy :) Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

grunf Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) From today's newsletter: DCS: AV-8B N/A Update Testing of the AV-8B N/A is well underway and RAZBAM has been doing a great job of fixing bugs as they are identified by our internal and external test teams. Both Eagle Dynamics and RAZBAM are committed to releasing a quality Early Access product. Unlike other DCS aircraft that relied on a three-point landing gear system (tricycle or tail dragger), the AV-8B N/A has a unique four-point landing gear system. As such, Eagle Dynamics has created a new landing gear system to support this aircraft. This and other items are being carefully tested. Edited October 13, 2017 by grunf

TomCatMucDe Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 good to know that ED is upping their quality requirements from Razbam. Things are going in the right direction IMHO

Nero.ger Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 you can be sure they will NOT release any form of Beta/preOrder while a sale is going on. Because then you wouldnt be tempted to buy all the old modules ;) 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.
