Hi All

 

it bugs me to ask this question as I feel bad for asking it, but I've searched before hand on the forums and can't find it.

 

When is the Mirage expected to be released on Steam? when the campaign is released? soon tm? in a few weeks? on Bastille day? ;)

 

its been released on DCS awhile, and I want to buy it, but only through Steam.

thanks guys :)

The Steam and Non steam accounts are seperate (to some extent).

 

So if someone has all of their aircraft on a STEAM DCS and they buy a non steam Mirage 2000 they would likely need two different DCS Clients to fly all of their aircraft (since they could not fly the Mirage 2000 through the Steam client and they could not use their other aircraft through the non steam client)

 

Since the CD keys for the modules might not fit.

 

And as such those who have all of their aircraft through Steam they need to wait for the steam release to have the mirage 2000 on the same DCS Client/account as their other Aircraft.

The stand-alone client can use ALL keys no matter where they are bought from.

 

Steam client can only use keys bought from the steam store.

You can use the steam key on the stand alone but not the other way round.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

They - and all the other 3rd party devs - have consistently said that the module will be released on Steam once it's "released", i.e. out of beta, finished, complete. There's no date given for when that will occur because it's not yet known.

ED CHANGED there releases stance about the time steam started offering Returns for under 2 hr's game play 2 weeks or what ever it was for australian lawsuit.

 

They changed because steam changed.

Some bad info in here.

 

STEAM keys will work anywhere.

 

DCS keys will work only in the standalone version of DCS, because Valve is no longer supporting porting keys over; this has nothing to do with ED.

 

 

There is no reason to have the Steam version of DCS; download the standalone, all your controls and modules will automatically be copied. It will use all of your same user files from your Steam installation.

 

You will have access to any early access planes you might want to fly (like the Viggen, Mirage, and hopefully soon Hornet) and patches will come sooner.

 

You lose absolutely nothing by moving to standalone, and gain significantly.

 

If you want the Steam overlay in Standalone DCS, open Steam and click Games -> Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library

Just one point to this adding standalone into the steam library by non steam game, When your in DCS stamdalone through steam DCS will crash when steam tries to update.

The aircraft is under review for Steam release. We don't have a release date, we will advise you accordingly.

We are working to get this bird released on Steam soon. I wish we could give you a date but since this is out of our hands we cannot.
