So just counting the profit from one individual customer is not the full picture of it. We players also get benefit from it since more buddies will fly with us.

Pikey Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I always did preorder and found it made no difference to the end price other than the timing. The discounts come in later, the EA preorder discount until release are usually the same. I'm mainly interested about this sim bringing in new DCS blood from a fractured section of the very same community we love, that excites me the most. New technically talented people are already asking questions about DCS Mission Editor. The plane is legendary, but I'm not excited for the actual release or EA. There's been so much development time spent on the bleeding edge of DCS I'm pretty numb to it. Can happily wait before parting with my money, which I will do, for sure. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscstaylor Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've been waiting for this for a long time! Let see.... "F-16 Combat Pilot" and "Falcon" on my Commodore Amiga 500, "Strike Commander", "Falcon 3.0/4.0", "Allied Force". Pre-order DCS F-16C? Oh hell yeah! :thumbup: You and me both, its the only plane that will bring me back to DCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtail Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) You and me both, its the only plane that will bring me back to DCS Welcome back then, lol. I enjoy the A-10C, Huey and Hornet the most, especially in VR. I pre-order a lot if it's something that I'm particularly interested in. I have the F-14 but haven't had much time to get into it yet, however, the Hornet is a real dream to fly and learn the systems, in VR! Give her a try. I don't think you'll have any regrets. She's a real beauty in every since of the word. Edited May 31, 2019 by redtail ~Redtail~ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you're talking to me? The price sure changes when pre-order is over. It goes to full price even though it's EA. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Jockey Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 After the stupid amount of time I've put into the F/A-18C and the F-14, I can only jump on board to support ED with the Viper project. The Tomcat is my real baby, but I remember flying the Viper in Strike Commander and loving it. I think I also played Falcon 3.0 once upon a time. Anyway, I've Pre-ordered. Looking forward to it ED :) I do think the same way ! Never played Strike Commander (unfortunatelly many sims like that and Fleet Defender were scarce at Portugal in the 90's), but I understand you.

Mad-Mex Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) After following this thread and re-reading most of it, In my humble opinion there three options about this release: A) Buy it B) Don't buy it C) Buy it Later Edited June 3, 2019 by Mad-Mex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Jockey Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have tried forever to have it work on Windows 10, finally gave up,,, even have the hard bound book,,, wonder if it will help with this module? That's why I keep with Windows 7, and couldn't care less if they end its support next year. I suppose DCS F-16 would be much less prone to that kind of trouble, but meanwhile let's see if they do finish the Hornet also.

Steam requires a date to be able to do a pre-purchase like this. In the past they've allowed "fall" or something, but I think they revised it to require a specific date. It's likely to change.

GumidekCZ Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Great plane with awesome history, wish to have it. But I will NOT buy, untill the Hornet is complete. Development of Hornet features is so slow (TGP, TWS, Ground radar, Harpoon,...), I will never support other projects, till the current projects are complete. We learned from history, not only the ED one. With this politics, Viper get its all features at 2022. At that time the Phantom will be in process.

Have fun not flying it then I guess ;) I'm not sure what you expect, development of these modules takes a lot of time. I don't think the Hornet development has been especially slow, considering how much work a lot of these complex systems require to get working. They only have a limited number of people who can work on each system thats in development and they are trying to model them in the most realistic way possible that they can do. This is not an insignificant task.
