First Order Discount.

[Tengah]

Hello to all,

First off, please forgive me if this has been brought up and resolved somewhere else in this forum.

Problem:  I gifted a friend the YAK-52 a few weeks ago to entice him into flying DCS.  He is now hooked and would like to progress deeper into this wonderful sim.  However, we told him to hold off buying modules and save up his money to buy as many as he could afford in one go to receive and make the most of the 50% discount.  When he goes to the module manager within DCS World the 50% discount pop-up window is not appearing, is this because he was gifted the YAK-52?  The gentleman in question has made no purchases, it is a new account as he had never flown DCS previously until he was gifted the YAK.

 

Any help, advice, etc would be gratefully received, and thank you all for your time in reading this post.

 

Edit: This is not a Steam account.  The account was created through the DCS Website.

That's unfortunate....

However  - there is most likely a summer sale around the corner. So advice your friend to be patient and wait for the sale. It won't be exactly 50% on all modules, but at least around 30% (except for the newest/just released) modules.

Another advice (that I myself ain't following) - don't get to many modules at once if you want to deep dive into any one of them.....

Sales frequently offer 50% discounts on many modules.

Pretty sure sure Hiob just covered his bases.
In any case, I agree. Most ED modules should be 50% off, except for the latest releases. Same for most 3rd party modules.

OP, make sure he gets as many maps as needed, and maybe the WWII asset pack. That one will be 50%.

Cheers!

Thank you, Hiob and MAXsenna for your replies, as for the other... Well.

Your friend has already contacted support. This is some kind of local error, the presence of a gift should not affect the appearance of a pop-up. In any case, we will help your friend get a discount for the first order.
