Caucasus Texture DLC by Starway - Donation page is online


Recommended Posts

but it just seems a really strange way to distribute a DLC.

 

I think it's come about 'due to unforeseen difficulties' of which both parties involved are royally fed up.

 

As I see it, this emergency method of release is a way for the community to pay for Starway's 12 months of work. You could say he's holding folks to ransom but on the other hand he's put in a big effort and deserves some reward.

 

I've donated too.

So what do the people who have donated the $10 get that the people who didn't donate don't? I am not sure about the donation method.

 

I suppose this is why it's called a 'donation' and done in this way since there seems to be no simple way of protecting these files and selling them.

 

Ideally, the ED would ask for approval to incorporate these textures into their stock Caucasus map once the target donation amount is reached (depending also on their supposed upgrade plans for the theater).

Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!

Donated.

 

Starway. If we don't meet the $3000 target, what happens when 2.5 is released? Your texture pack won't work and we'll be stuck having paid for an obsolete product?

 

Dont worry. 2000$ reached after less than one day. 3000$ shouldn't be a problem.

Is the mod out already? That was quick.

 

Not yet. Last update by starway 1890,85 $ two hours ago. So I bet the target will be reached within the next few hours.

Why should I donate (which I have done BTW) when eventually everyone is going to get the map anyway (If the total amount is reached)? What happens if the $3000 target isn't reached we get the caucasus map that will be next to useless when DCSW 2.5 is released.

I have donated as I said, and I am looking forward to seeing these new textures in action, but it just seems a really strange way to distribute a DLC.

I can understand your concern but i really think the $3000 mark shouldnt be a problem. Im willing to donate again if we come short.

 

Regarding your question about what about the people that did not donate and are still be able to play with the DLC you paid for. I can only speak for myself but at the moment i can miss the $10 Starway is asking for his work and i really like what he made so far and is about to release to this community. Sure some people will think "heck why should i pay when others are doing this" but in the end i think by heart most of the people in the DCS community are fair and honest. I cant speak for everyone but i donate for the community and not just for me. I want this Sim to move forward and achieve great things. People sometimes have to make sacrifices to reach bigger goals.

(But please lets refrain from discussion whether you should or should not donate)

Ideally, they would have done so once it become known they couldn't offer the textures in the store after having Starway work on them for a year, and forced him to do this.

 

The polite thing to do, would have been to pay him for it and offer it up as a complementary update for the 10+ year old textures they sell with brand new $60 planes. :pilotfly:

This is beginning to look like the last thread, so let's not venture further in the speculation territory.

 

The old thread is still there so if you have any actual arguments regarding this, I'd be very interested to read more.

I'm in. Here's to meeting those goals!

 

So how does this shake out in purely practical terms? Does it become a new button in the "theater" section of everyone's module manager with a future update, or a .zip hosted online that anyone can install manually, or are we not crossing that bridge yet?

This might be a stupid question - these textures will work in both 1.5x and 2.x versions, right ? ( I was right, stupid question ;) ) Donated :)
