Discount on purchasing 2nd Module of Multi-Crew aircraft?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Actually, I was hoping there could be a 'generous' discount$ for customers who want to buy a 2nd copy of any Muti-crew aircraft.  Or any aircraft really..

I have a 2nd pc and have thought about setting up another rig so I can have friends over(who don't know what DCS is, ...)  and fly with them, or train with them?  I know they could purchase a copy and buy a good pc, but many of them have shown interest, but getting started, and purchasing all the controllers, and setting up DCS settings, and assigning controller buttons, etc....  well, that's quite a deterrent..  

With a second rig and copy of a module all setup and ready to go, they could just hop in and fly with a friend immediately.  Being someone's co-pilot, gunner, or RIO is less intimidating and more fun I think, when getting started.

And since I would not be using that 2nd copy very often, hence the discount..   What do you think??

Trust me, I'm 65, and my friends are not trying to be cheap.  Most have only heard me talk about DCS, but only 1 has ever come over to see it.  And he couldn't do anything except fly around because learning takes time.

Plus, ED could easily see the modules tied to my account coming from different IPs.  So, it's not a buy 2nd one cheap and give/sell it to a friend.

Well... Have you thought this through? Are you going to have multiple ED accounts? Or are you planning to bind the second copy to your existing account? If that's the case you still need to log into both computers with the same account. It's not like it locks one of modules on one computer and the second on the other you know.
Cheers!

EDIT: If you plan on binding the second module to your friends account, assuming he's a first time purchaser. He'll get a 50% discount with (most) ED modules , or even you can use the current sale.

See the post above yours.. I just replied.  

I hadn't thought about ED not allow a second login on the other rig?  Have you tried that?  Do they block that?  DCS is free, so I would think they would only be blocking at the module level.  Which is why I asked for this suggestion..

You can have DCS installed on multiple computers at your home, but yes, you are allowed to login and use purchased modules only on one PC at a time

I don't find you asking cheap at all. There's a reason for the first time 50% off, and if you can draw more users into DCS it's a win win for all!
As for concurrently logging into multiple computers with the same ED account, it might be a violation of the EULA. Haven't tried it myself. They will probably see you on different public IPs if your not in the same house. If you're sharing the same connection/same building you'll still use the one public IP provided to you by your ISP. Unless you have several, AND have correctly on purpose configured your router/FW to do so.
