Many thanks to ED for such generosity. This might be because this sounds like it has only been arranged in the past few days and Cobra (Heatblur's lead) is currently away dealing with serious family illness.

spacefox Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Lol - I already bought the planes I want in the sale time. Lol. But I guess I will get to play with Shark and Mig-21. And more time on p51 + Spitfire. This is excellent news. I am still learning FC3 - so I dunno what I can learn so fast but will enjoy all the modules that I have not tried in VR. Thank You PS - Shark reminds me bit of Blue Thunder (just realized the Blue Thunder was actually a Gazelle - looks like I am gonna try that too) Is there Airwolf mod in DCS? That would be so cool.

SpitFlyer Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Well that's a generous gesture - good on yer :-) The shame of it is that the F-14 is the only one I'm really interested in and that's not included!

S. Low Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I noticed Nick also said there would be another 50% sale. Does this extend to steam users? Oh and how does one actually try the products for free - Do you have to download standalone versions or something from the e shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macedk Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This might be because this sounds like it has only been arranged in the past few days and Cobra (Heatblur's lead) is currently away dealing with serious family illness. Sad to hear that. This is from the dcs page. I speculate that heatblur were in the loop, reading this. Quote" *Exclusions and comments: All campaigns, F-14B and AJS-37 Viggen will not take part.

Kang Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That is quite a surprise, ED. Thank you very much! Not only is a full month quite a considerable amount of time to test out a thing or two, having the option to try out virtually all of the modules is definitely a tremendous gift to the whole community. And please, folks, there is no need for any hatred because a few things are not part of this. Appreciate that more than ever before is and dig how beautiful it is out here!

WolfcatVader Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Steam only gets it for two weeks and i believe it doesnt start right away. Does anyone know why that is? Us steam guys kinda get the short end of the stick it seems on these things. i9-12900K - EVGA 3090 FTW - 64GB DDR5 5600 - HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 because Steam make their own rules and a 2-week trial window is apparently all they will allow. You could always install a temporary freestanding version of DCS and try the modules out in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 As Greyman said, there are some rules that Steam itself requires to adhere to. That's why in the last month both the free trials and the sale items have been different from the ED shop ones, and also at least in part why sales generally are a bit later and different in Steam.

WolfcatVader Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Bummer, feel like I should have gotten the standalone version from the beginning, but I have hundreds of dollars into the steam version now. Seems like a big hassle to install two versions of the same thing. It’s too bad ED isn’t allowed to sell steam codes to their own products. i9-12900K - EVGA 3090 FTW - 64GB DDR5 5600 - HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WA Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thanks ED! I never get the time to fully try out your modules when you give weekend trials, so this is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizav Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thanks ED! I never get the time to fully try out your modules when you give weekend trials, so this is great! Also you can't try full fidelity module in 2 days except maybe flight model. It takes at least few days to learn basics etc..
