Basically the same as in the Heatblur store then. Very good of them with that heads up!
Friday's on my mind! Bring it on!

Interestingly, the price in the ORBX Store is $55.99 but as I know know ORBX store VAT is appied on the basket only. 

However this is probably the final price, because in EA it simply cannot be more expensive (including VAT).

Pricing says:

"The early access release comes with a special 20% discount, priced at (USD 55.99), but only for a limited time. As the map evolves with further content the purchase price may also increase."

[YoYo]

Btw. mistake?

"You will need Orbx Central to download and install this product." I think you buy the licence code only which should be added on DCS store (profile).

Is that $55.99 -20% or is the 55.99 already at 20% discount?

Did you buy something in ORBX store? If not see this example from his store, so the question is fundamental:

Just quoting what it says on the ORBX site.

I think its after -20% discount (looks like we dont know the final price yet):

"priced at (USD 55.99), but only for a limited time. As the map evolves with further content the purchase price may also increase."

I think you are right. That means the final price would be $69.99.

For me, the basis is how it will work in VR at low altitude. This is their debut in DCS market. I expect that it will not be such a performance problem as with Razbam South Atlantic map at low alt, so user opinions will be very important to me.

That would seems correct and be on par with other prices.

It's a bit more than most other maps, but it's a big map so about right.

Not going to lie; these new screengrabs look FAR superior to what we've been seeing, literally up until this point. I guess someone higher up at Orbx realized some low quality stuff was being sent out and souring the mood (or I'd hope).

I still have concerns about the lack of any form of contact being here on the forum in terms of bug reports etc.

Once the winter textures come into play though this will be a must have.

Although; after seeing these new images on their website, I actually just might consider it in the EA phase...

[Backwards]

Some of the screenshots we've seen so far have been from outside the blurb on the orbx website, so it might be how that part of the maps looks now.

Yup, me, too.  I get up early, so I'll consider waiting until I've been awake for at least fifteen minutes before serial reloading the store page.  The more I see of this map the more likely it becomes my go-to, and the only concern is if they've accurately modeled the mosquitos for a summer map.  If so that makes low-level flying far more dangerous.

Maybe they're waiting for ED to add the little blood suckers to the weather tab in the ME.  It would be like 'fog', with sliders for visibility range, density (up to ten billion per cubic meter), ceiling, and dB level on the noise, which can almost drown out a jet engine...

Of course the downside is I'm also getting Afghanistan, but I can see that sitting on a shelf while I wring this one out.  Central Europe is the only map in the works (I know about) that might knock this off the pole position.

Color me surprised, doesn't look like Luleå Airport is on the map? Odd given that it's home to one of Sweden's air force wings.

Got it, thanks for the heads up.

Btw. I see that they changed some of descriptions on his webstore, now its more clear.

[Hawke81]

Will it be a normal purchase and download through the DCS page or will it be through Orbx Central only?
