shift611 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 I have just reinstalled DCS and now have the Persian Gulf map when I haven't bought it, is it being given away free or have I been given it by mistake, any help please, thank you. :huh:
dahlgren Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 If you are on Steam many modules are free to try at the moment, including the Persian Gulf map. See the newsletter a couple of weeks back for the free trial schedule. Note that there is one separate for Steam and one for the standalone version.
shift611 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 I am on Steam but not for DCS, I don't have any DCS content with Steam, is that the Steam newsletter or a DCS newsletter, thanks for your reply.
dahlgren Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 It's in the weekend news thread on this forum, see below link. The Persian Gulf map is not supposed to be on free trial until 9-10 april though. I can't check myself since I already own the module. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4248521&postcount=243

shift611 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Well just to be on the safe side I have deleted it as I do not want to buy it yet at least, thanks for the tip "Chillybean"

shift611 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 Yes I have just found the message from DCS which says that free trial modules etc if not wanted should be deleted otherwise if you use them up to the end of the trial period you will be deemed to have bought them and will be charged as "Chillybean" above, so beware of DCS bearing gifts.
draconus Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Never heard of such practice. I'm pretty sure that's illegal and they can't charge you just like that. Free trials are free for the trial period. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Chillybean Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Hi Guys Sorry, when i say i brought it, I mean i tried the module on trial then brought it, not that ED forced me to buy it, although i guess that the sales technique! I do have a bit of a soft spot for new modules though :-) i7-9700K, 32GB Corsair 3000Ghz RAM, Geforce 1660Ti, Samsung Evo970 M.2 SSD x 2 drives, Trackir5, SRS, Voiceattack
