The book is only coming with EA. It was never part of the pre-order. It will be in the F-15E docs folder along with the manual when installed Edited February 17, 2023 by AdrianL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offers nothing other than making ED less profitable which isn't good for them or us. I would have switched a long time ago, but I live in the middle of nowhere and have a 10mb connection and would need another SSD to allow the transfer so I could still play for the month it would take to download the 400gb I got DCS on steam with out even knowing there was a standalone.

Steve Gee Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Are we not getting Miles with the pre-order because Razbam isn't participating in that program? I ask because I got Miles with the Falklands/SA order and it's a Razbam project. 1 "These are NOT 1 to 1 replicas of the real aircraft, there are countless compromises made on each of them" - Senior ED Member Modules - Damn near all of them (no Christian Eagle or Yak) System - i7-12700K, 64Gig DDR4 3200 RAM, RTX-3080, 3 32" monitors at 5760 x 1080, default settings of High (minor tweaks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they decided it is not worth it/ In my opinion (I stress it's my own, and pure speculation on my part) the developer knows they have a 'golden goose' with the Eagle and want to reap as much income as possible from it. Hence the 'pre-order' as well. Incidentally, that isn't a criticism as such, it's obviously just basic economics. It just understandably leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth.

I get why they decide to not allow miles to be used in the purchase but at least let us accrue miles for the full pre order pricing. Not even allowing miles to accrue is a D punch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscotsman Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Got my order in, man it was log jammed earlier, could'nt even get connected , So went and had a mug of tea, chilled, and it's all sorted on the next attempt. Wonder how many have sold? In two minds on this one, I worked with RAF Lakenheath from RAF Honington, on various things, had a monthly visit to the North Sea range control and watched a few live and a few recorded 'fights', always interesting to see the RAF'V USAF methods and then off to the burger bar....but don't get run over by a trundling Strike Eagle. Noisy objects. I think this wlll be a few screens too many for me, but as long as it has LN on the tail, I'll be happy ....its what retirement is for, wheeeee!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Would that be possible to, at least, provide a Steam key to those who preorder through ED store? I suppose I could do that, but I'm not going to move off Steam just because of one module. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for it to be 30% off on a sale. No skin off my nose, it'll probably take a while for singleplayer content to be made, anyway. This Steam user does not appreciate the middle finger, thank you very much. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagHond Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Preordered just a few minutes ago. We are happy now. My wallet isn't available to comment.

Valve takes a large margin, it wouldn't make sense to sell a module at 30% off on a store that takes 30%; a little math shows a return of 49% of the full price. My advice is to move to standalone, because you can bring any steam purchased modules over to the standalone client, which gives you 2 stores to buy from.
