That isn't all that relevant (e.g. Apache has been available on trial for ages). It's a publisher decision as much as anything else as to whether a module goes into the trial programme or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar66 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Likely a decision by the devs given how early stage, but functional, the module is in early access. The F1 was for a long time without a trial option too. All the info that would keep you from buying the Strike Eagle is readable on the internet. Everything that you'll experience in it will make you buy it, anyways. IMO, the trial is a bit pointless with this bird atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkom Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 If I was the publisher I certainly wouldn't let people trial an unfinished product. I'd make sure the product represented as close to the final product as possible first. Right now there's alot of things missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I suggested it isn't is that there are examples of modules that are a long way from being feature complete that have ended up as available on trial. Its Razbam's product though at the end of the day and their commercial decision if they want to offer that option or not (much like they haven't participated in sales much lately, even with mature products like the M2000 and Harrier).

I need to try out how F15E perform in VR per my 3 year old laptop spec and maps I own, I can't get that from internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any other modules? It doesn't perform any different but, unlike other, you have options to adjust that - like how many cores you want to use for radar simulation or the option for older GPU owners.

That's a fair point I certainly missed. As draconus pointed out above, the module doesn't perform too different from others but I need to add that when rendering the A-G radar 80nm out for the first time it stutters strangely on my end. Other than that is a fairly easy going module just like any other one out there. There are options on the special tab for you to fine tweak the radar demands on your CPU as well as a option to render lower cockpit textures for GPUs with low VRAM. I use a RTX 3060 with 12gb and 64gb System Ram and have zero issues with it without using the low res textures option. If you can fly the A-10C with the Mav sensor on one MFD and the TGP on the other MFD without issues, the SE won't be a problem. I've found the F-16C with Mav + TGP active on MFDs to be more demanding than the SE besides its A-G radar. i5 10400 + RTX 3060 12gb + 64gb Ram + DCS on a normal SSD. I hope you can have enough data to be accurate with how your PC will perform before buying and without frustration, for real. Perhaps the Devs should be releasing system requirements for modules too. Happy flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is comparable to all the other non-FC3 modules with the exception of the radar, the ground radar can bog down the CPU depending on your settings. Otherwise, if you fly the Hornet, Viper or Hog, it's not going to perform all that differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
