swimbody Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) I paid in May for the new F-18. Got BACK online after many months and found a new version of DCS World (can't keep up with all the new changes honestly) Downloaded that and thought that my order would automatically be there. NOPE. Went to the website for digitalcombactsimulations and looked up my profile and order history. Nope, cannot download even though it says I paid. Can someone please clear up if I have to buy this AGAIN? Or is this once airline pilot ex-Navy dude screwed? yes I started the program and went to the Module Manager and checked and there is no option for the F-18. Thanks.

norbot Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have two installations of DCS on my SSD. One with the stable version 2.5.0 for all the older modules and one with the open beta 2.5.2 - for the F/A-18 and Persian Gulf only. It probably will take a while until the F/A-18 will be available on the stable version and I didn't want to wait that long. :D A-10A, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B, F-5E, F-16C, F/A-18C, F-86F, Yak-52, Nevada, Persian Gulf, Syria, Supercarrier, Combined Arms, FW 190 A-8, FW 190 D-9, Spitfire LF Mk.

I’m also a recreational pilot in Cessna’s and have to say the module is the most realistic to date!! Even a simple circuit, let alone a carrier landing is pretty cool!!

swimbody Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Success. Wow is all I can say. I was literally sweaty after two successful carrier arrests under VR. So flipping real. Great job to the programmers, that was unreal. Edited June 17, 2018 by swimbody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
