The search feature of this forum doesn't seem to like my use of the words "buy" and "DVD" since they are only 3 letters long... :wallbash:

 

Has ED said anything about releasing Black Shark on CDs or a DVD, in the same way they released Flaming Cliffs? If someone could kindly point me in the right direction to find this, I'd appreciate it! :)

Hmm...I don't think I was totally clear.

 

I don't care about them using DVD vs CD!

 

I just want to know if ED has said that they'll be releasing BS on disk as opposed to download only. No Starforce bashing here, I just vastly prefer having CDs or a DVD in a box rather than a downloaded file.

Same here - never have and never will purchase Downloads. Need the Box :)

Ahh, in that case, I remember someone from ED said it will be both Disc and Download available.

Yea I would prefer a cd, also, if DCS do decide to use starforce, could the time limit for the cd version be expanded to like a month. That would be great, I don't have to carry around the cd anymore.

No decision has been made. It will either be two CDs (game is around 1.2 GB) or a single DVD.

 

1 DVD, 2 CDs, 1000 1.44 MB floppies...as long as you release a hard copy of it I can buy, I'll be a happy vPilot. :thumbup: A collector's edition would be cool too.

Yeah. That what I meant. See how Team can earn extra money. We love such things like limited editions. Also can help getting mark more attractive for supporters and then vice-versa. Look on ED support with Saitek and that wasn't even wide open. How many of us own x52 now?

It would be nice ED release also example a movie how did you Ka-50, simple ED from "kitchen", or one day from ED's life :D

Well, honestly - I know I am old fashioned - but for me a printed (and included) manual is still an essential part of a software. Everything else is customer unfriendly ...

Posted

I would imagine that if a printed Manual be made available then the cost of the product would be Prohibitive......cannot be cheap to print a 600+ page manual :)

Indeed. It is not cheap. It would rise a cost dramatically. I wouldn't count on printed manual.

depends on how many will be printed ... most expensive part is to configure the printing machines ... the higher the edition the lesser the price per copy

You wouldn't need to have everything printed, only the fun parts and things that will not change with patches and addons, you don't want the manual to become useless after the first patch ;)

 

Tactics and general info and such things would work well in paper, key bindings and feature lists is not so good as they are subject to change, a quick reference card would be good though to get started.

Then when a new flyable is released a paper manual for that could be released to be put in the same binder as the regular manual.

Maybe they'll go with the same solution as for Lomac - pay extra for paper manual.

Yes it is true but still cost of minimum 600 hundred pages of paper (plus we ED must choose a paper quality, color or black-white ect). still will be high...

Do they really need to print 600 pages?

I don't think so .... depends on many parameters ... format, type of printing machines, number of colors, type of paper and and and ...

 

edit: or did you mean that the manual itself has to have a minimum of 600 pages?

Posted

Hmmm, ED could print the most important things on 200 (?) pages example, we don't need a missle presentation, or "how to play in multiplayer" ect.
