DW2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Shame DCS doesnt have trials of the various aircraft modules so U could try one for say 7 days and decide on which one you want before laying out the cash for it...
probad Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 lmao why would i buy if i could just keep making accounts and cycle trials
DW2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 lmao why would i buy if i could just keep making accounts and cycle trialsBecause most of us are honest and happy to pay for a product.
Nodak Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 They do exactly that on occasion over a weekend, but it will be one select module.

draconus Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 So far it only happened for F/A-18C in 2018 and F-14B in 2019. For trial you have 2 free aircraft. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Beirut Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I think it has some benefit. I never would have bought the F-14 pre-trial, now at least I'm considering it. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
DW2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Posted March 1, 2020 I think its going to be either the F16 or F18 for me next and am now just trying to decide which. 90% of my missions are Air to Air with just a small amount of Air to Ground.

I'd love to have a trial with either of those planes. I'm 99% A2G. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
mrmat01 Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 lmao why would i buy if i could just keep making accounts and cycle trials It would be IP address based so you couldn't take the piss :rolleyes:
mrmat01 Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I think a try before you buy would be great. Say 4-7 days. Single player only & limited weapon types & limited clickable buttons just the essentials. Just enough to know if the aircraft is reight for you. Just my opinion.:):thumbup:
BlackLightning Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 It would be IP address based so you couldn't take the piss :rolleyes: AFAIK in most houses there are dynamic IP addresses; mine is dynamic and changes from time to time. I’ve never tried but I think you can change it if you have a VPN or maybe even without it. It would still be better than using only the account as an identifier, though. Another possibility could be to limit the usable time of each session to something like 10 minutes until the user buys the module. Planes: FC3, Spitfire, Harrier, F-14, F-18, MiG-21, Edge 540 - Helicopters: UH-1H, Mi-8 - Environments: Persian Gulf, Supercarrier PC specs in the spoiler I run DCS 2.7 using: MasterWatt 550 semi-fanless and semi-modular, core i7-3770 (4 cores @ 3.8 GHz) with 8 GB DDR3, GTX1050 Ti (768 cores @ 1.8 GHz) with 4 GB GDDR5, 5.1 sound card, 240 GB SSD, Windows 8.1, T.16000M FCS Flight Pack (i. e. stick+throttle+rudder pedals), opentrack head trakcer
pszuch Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 It took me a week to learn how to cold start the F-18C, so I am not sure I would gain much insight from a one weekend (or week) trial Lol.
