Doc3908 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 I'm very tempted to buy the new P-47. I don't mind paying to support quality software development. However, after purchasing a few mods (e.g. FW190-A8, L-39) that I don't really enjoy, I'm very hesitant to buy anything else unless I try it first. The free trial period back in April and May allowed to me to figure out exactly which mods I want to add to my collection. But the P-47 wasn't out at the time... I wonder if ED would consider allowing customers a limited (say 24 hours) trial period before buying. Or perhaps, you pay $5 to fly the plane for a couple of days - if you like it, you pay the rest and the plane is yours, otherwise all you lost was $5 (and had fun in the meantime). Just my 2 cents...

G.J.S Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Seems a quite reasonable suggestion. $5 like you say for 24hrs, SP only. Could be very worthwhile, and ED or others get a little extra cash should the prospective buyer decide to not procure in full, and the buyer doesn’t buy a hanger queen. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
Mars Exulte Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 They already do free fly days... They literally JUST concluded a free flight for every module in the game. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
G.J.S Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 They already do free fly days... They literally JUST concluded a free flight for every module in the game. But instead of waiting for these to come around, the idea presented could be run continuously, and have the added benefit of a little extra cash to the developers/ED. Its a win/win. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
MAXsenna Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Like the idea! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Kang Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 I like the idea, but perhaps it's easier if the concept of 'trial days' just catches on a bit.
G.J.S Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I like the idea, but perhaps it's easier if the concept of 'trial days' just catches on a bit. Maybe. But surely instead of waiting maybe a few months to try that module you have your eye on, going with the OP's suggestion, you pay a few bucks, try it, if you like and want to keep it, you pay the remainder. If however you don't actually like whichever module, all you have lost is just a few bucks (which is a good little boost in the pot for ED/devs) instead of for example a 50 - 70 bucks loss. Or you can just wait a few months and hope that your module will be on offer . . . .

JonathanRL Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 I agree with this. A limit like 2 hours flight time should be sufficient to get a grasp if the module is for you. I can however sympathize with ED because it may have the opposite effect as well. During the free month, I flew a lot of WW2 Birds and realized it was not for me. Same with the C-101 - this after pining for both that one and the Spitfire. That said, considering that the free trial periods increased ED Sales by four times, I would guess we will see more of them.
