Offical DCS Patreon page?

simple really

would you spare some money every month and contribute to an official DCS Patreon page if you knew it would help speed up development or of issues, physics and aircraft in DCS?

for those who don't know. Patreon is a site where you agree to contribute some money to a specific person to help support them. you choose the amount and the receiver can give something back by allowing access to exclusive content. this could be anything that Eagle Dynamics decides like pictures, videos, sales or competitions.

so what do you think?

Have some problems about them. ED has a company dedicate not only of the entertainment market, he move on professional / military market, and your products has under restricted / secret law, with license requirements and a great quantity of scope outside of a game studio.

by exclusive, I mean just normal stuff like the early reveal of an aircraft or pictures, not exclusive military information

but still. wouldn't be nice if we helped them hire another few members to the games section

Don't you think it would be a good idea to ask ED first? Not that I think this is a good idea, at all, because it isn't.

It's up to them, I'm just throwing the idea out there.

it's completely optional so it shouldn't matter if you don't:music_whistling:

If I wanted to support a charity, I would donate to Red Cross or MSF, not a game developer. Why some people act like ED is a bunch of indie devs coding in basement? They've been around for 25 years and are a part of The Fighter Collection that operates warbirds worth several million dollars, not to mention very lucrative military contracts that surely ain't cheap.

It's not just about throwing money at development to get more done.

ED creates it's own technology and their way of doing (Coding) things to build the best Filghtsim,

Coders need to be brought up to speed, this would take quite some time i'm guessing?

DCS is on the verge of standardizing their system with version 2.5 on the way new game engine,

new map build tools and so forth. Once all the teething is done (Few years perhaps in the coding world?)

You will then see a lot of great content getting done in amazing efficiency by ED and 3rd parties,

at the moment it's like 2 steps froward 1 step back and I'm happy for this to happen as ED is

trying to keep their quality very high as usual and if you don't get the direction right for the future it's going to be a lot of code to rewrite down the track! :noexpression:
