pii Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Well when you come out with that announcement of pre-order, what would you expect. Usually it means you 60-70 days out. PPHHHFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT! 60 to 70 days LOL Autumn is more like 120+ for early Access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Oh boy! I've been waiting for the F-16 to come to DCS. I feel in love with it in Falcon4/BMS. I guess i'll keep playing with the Hornet until the Viper shows up. Same here, since Falcon 3.0 actually! Oh, and Iron Eagle helped too. I have the Hornet and Tomcat...too little time and too many planes. The mighty Fighting Falcon is the greatest of them all, and will be my primary module for sure. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonFox Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Where it says Early Access Release. Will all of those items listed in Phase 1 be available on the release of EA then? Just want to remove any confusion. F/A-18C; A-10C; F-14B; Mirage 2000C; A-4E; F-16C; Flaming Cliffs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 That's the plan but it also says subject to change. So, keep your fingers crossed. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneDust Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Not sure I'm going to purchase early access for the viper. I want it, but I look at the Hornet's slow progress and don't really need another unfinished product; so I'll have to give it some thought. Great to see it being developed though.

rjetster1 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I will purchase early for sure... early access far far far out ways the price! I sure would love to see some exterior shots!

Hummingbird Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Excellent news. This will be the aircraft which DCS will probably earn the most money with, esp. if they do it properly. Hopefully the autumn 2019 early access release date will be met. In the meantime please fix the few FM issues with the F/A-18 :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinK Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 no early access buy for me... as long as the F-18 is in an unfinished state. I don't wanna have spent hundreds of bucks on unfinished products that take years to complete. And if the global politics continue to go like they do at the moment, we're gonna have WW3 even before the F-18 is finished.

Knock-Knock Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I only pre-order if EA is clear. For the Hornet the message was out, end of Sping. For the Viper the current EA message is none ������ The message is: The amazing F-16C is coming to DCS World! Pre-order it next week on 22 May and save 20%. Early access is planned for the beginning of autumn 2019. And for the Hornet it was: Pre-purchase now for $59.99 and save $20 from the Early Access release price of $79.99. We plan Early Access DCS: F/A-18C Hornet to be available for download by the end of Spring 2018. Difference not being release period, but a price. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ercoupe Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The F-16. I really didn't expect that to happen. Well, it hasn't yet, but it does seem as though it might. I haven't bought a high fidelity ED jet since the A-10 came out. And that has been quite a while Not because they aren't good, but because I just don't want to invest in the time that they require. I love my F-86 and F-15. They are easy to get into and remember. I fly them all the time. But I actually don't remember the last time I was in the Warthog. I've even had my finger hovering over the Harrier buy button. But then I think about having to learn it, and I say, "Ah, forget it!" I've become a lazy flight simmer. But I just don't see how I can resist this model. The F-16 has been my favorite "modern" jet fighter since the first time I saw one. I'll have to buy this and "hit the books" I guess! It's going to be a big success for them, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the global politics continue to go like they do at the moment, we're gonna have WW3 even before the F-18 is finished. In full agreement! People are always unsatisfactory. If you get the first thing you like, you will want more! New functions are often urged and asked on F/A18C. So wait for the product to be finished, or at least have enough functionality to meet your needs, and then buy it! Reasonable purchase is a good choice, some developers found this point, so F14 release, the basic functions completed. The JF17 will be released in the future, and CM802akg missiles and laser aiming pods will be available immediately. Both can be purchased in the first place without waiting for a long time to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'll be pre-ordering the F-16 at the first opportunity on May 22nd, and will patiently await it's release when ED is ready to release it, and will be damn glad to have it, knowing it will be well done.

CarbonFox Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 After the lesson I took from the Hornet, it's going to be a long time before I probably buy the F-16. This is more true now after the recent changes by ED to model a slightly less capable version of the F-16C.
