Boosterdog Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The 8500 miles would seem to indicate an ultimate release price of $85 despite the 79.99 currently advertised. Still very fair for a complex module and quite an incentive to do the pre-order thing with an rough 50% total package discount if you take into account the air miles. 1 MSI Tomahawk X570 Mobo, Ryzen 5600X undervolted on Artic Freezer E34 Cooler, RTX3080 FE, 32GB (2x16GB Dual Ranked) GSkil 3600 CL16 Trident Neo RAM, 2X 4th Gen M2 SSDs, Corsair RM850x PSU, Lancool 215 Case.

Steam honoured my refund request in about three-hours but I won't see the cash back in my Steam wallet for a few days. They say they don't usually refund after 14 days, but my pre-order was from October. This one of the reasons I like Steam, it does offer certain conveniences. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Digitalvole Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This is great news for me, I’d spent all my money on Lego for me and my daughter (including a £650 Millennium Falcon) so was broke till January. In my excitement at having fun things to do with my daughter I’d completely forgot about the AH64, so though I’m probably in the minority I’m very thankful.

CaptJodan Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Earlier in the year when ED seemed to be suggesting it'd be done by the end of this year I just couldn't believe it. But then I got a little belief in me in these later months when it seemed it was all steam ahead and vids were coming out and release months were announced. Ah well. Truth is, ED tries to be ambitious with their releases and often misses the mark, but if you go in knowing that, you can stave off disappointment. I'm a bit disappointed cause I didn't listen to myself, but not angry at them. I always thought this was a complex module and getting it done in the time they were saying definitely felt like record time. Better a delayed release than having to hear from the pitchfork crowd after the F-16. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiob Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have a pretty big steam collection myself and no general problem with it - and I also started with DCS on steam. Anyhow, the moment I learned there was a standalone version of it and I could transfer my modules, it was a split second decision to do so. Never ever did I regret it since. I would highly recommend it to anybody. Only advantages, no downsides IMHO! On Topic! Thanks for the extra miles, much appreciated, and whilst I'm disappointed that I won't be able to tinker with it during the holidays, I 100% support the decision! 3 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

Sure, it sucks that I won't be blowing tanks up from 8mi away, but at least the Apache is still coming, and will work on day one. As others have said, ED learned the hard way with the F-16 with it being too buggy and having few of the announced features. As for the collecting money part.... well.... artists and programmers need to eat too ya know... they can't just work on good faith alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
