USAF-Falcon87 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 OK, I know I've been able to get through this in the past, but i'm drawing a blank. How do I access the modules for the free-to-play period? Only option I have on-screen is to buy the module. Took it until it was asking me for a credit card without seeing a trial button. Thanks for the help! Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) First, they have to announce such a free-to-play-period again before you can participate. Edited December 21, 2020 by razo+r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapRoll Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) From the newsletter: Our Winter Sale 2020 has started and will run until the 11th of January. On Steam, the sale will start on the 22nd of December and end on the 5th of January. We are pleased to announce an additional ‘Free to Play’ period starting on the 22nd of December, giving you access to all aircraft and terrains from our e-Shop and Steam for two weeks. The modules will just appear in the module manager for download when you start DCS sometime tomorrow. There is no need to do anything on the webpage.

USAF-Falcon87 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ok, thanks. I thought the post on Facebook mentioned the 21st, not the 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troye Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I suppose this works in US pacific time, not Russia time and that it will activate at the same time on Steam and standalone DCS version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilio_Ger Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It doesn`t work for me, I just enable the module in the Installed section, and the it should start the download right? In my case DCS just asks for a serival code to activate the module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my first plane was the F14 and a XBOX Controller, which can also be very challenging. Without any knowledge of airplanes or sim. But that’s the great about Free for All, if it’s to hard or no fun to learn it, I will skip that part of DCS. Or I will try it again next year. 12700k | 3090 | 64GB DDR4 | WD SN850X | Quest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just pick it up at half price if it ticks a box or 3 for me during the shake-down.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] A tale of 2 hogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baylor703 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Playing through the steam version, in the store you only have the option to buy. Does anyone know how we access free to play? I'd like to try several modules and buy a couple before the sale ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daemon1808 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 No, they are right. In STEAM store there is not any option to play them for free. Maybe the free trial will not be applied to steam users? (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awe-sk Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Well...i will try. But for now i am not sure how to download modules in DCS. I am using steam version. There is no module manager as in standanlone version. Right now i am downloading some update so i will try in cca 20 minutes if i works somehow.
