I'm guessing someone at steam stepped on their dick. Even still, I hope we get to "free play" more than this list.

Beirut Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 I get the sale prices, but I don't see a "free to play" option. I don't really mind DL the DCS stand alone to fly the planes, but I would use my Steam install first if possible. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

baylor703 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It will be nice to have access to the modules so we can pick our favorites and buy before the sale ends. Hopefully they will be up soon, but on my end I don't have the option as of yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirut Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 I think during the last free trial period some of the planes, like the F-14, weren't free to play on Steam, you had to have the stand alone. Which in all truth is no great horror. I just did a second install. Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the F-14 wasn't free to play on Steam. The Steam DCS page is still a bit wonky. Maybe it will just take a bit of time to sort itself out. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

5ephir0th Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Of course, Heatblur said they don´t participate, so it´s obvious that, neither Steam or Standalone, you couldn´t play the Tomcat and Grippen for free NZXT H9 Flow Black | Intel Core i5 13600KF OCed P5.6 E4.4 | Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 32GB C30 OCed 6600 C32 | nVidia GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition | Western Digital SN770 2TB | Gigabyte GP-UD1000GM PG5 ATX 3.0 1000W | SteelSeries Apex 7 | Razer Viper Mini | SteelSeries Artics Nova 7 | LG OLED42C2 | Xiaomi P1 55" Virpil T-50 CM2 Base + Thrustmaster Warthog Stick | WinWing Orion 2 F16EX Viper Throttle | WinWing ICP | 3 x Thrustmaster MFD | Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals | Oculus Quest 2 DCS World | Persian Gulf | Syria | Flaming Cliff 3 | P-51D Mustang | Spitfire LF Mk.

I do not really mind either, however i do think it is a shame because i really prefer the steam version and 250 gigs on my limited m.2 is not optimal.

Dragon1-1 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Looks great, seems to have gone more smoothly than the first one. While we're on the topic of Steam, is Tomcat supposed to be 20% off? The newsletter says 25% off. Edited December 22, 2020 by Dragon1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 22, 2020 ED Team Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi Unfortunately steam are unable to correct the discount for the tomcat, so for steam it will be 20% off apologies Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

tickybat Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 @BIGNEWY Any chance you can fix the A10C II not being included in free to play on steam. For some reason only the upgrade is free to play. Maybe a leftover issue from the discount being applied incorrectly at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 23, 2020 ED Team Share Posted December 23, 2020 We have asked steam to sort it out, but no luck yet.
