DCS F-4E Phantom II on Steam, Merchandise and Keys - News

[IronMike]

Dear all,

Due to unfortunately being unable to offer a pre-order on Steam this time around, we'll be offering DCS: F-4E at pre-order pricing ($59.99) on Steam for the first week of sales.

We hope in this way we can make up for our promise to partake in the pre-order on Steam and give you a chance to grab the F-4 for the same discount. We sincerely hope to see you flying the Phantom with us regardless of your chosen platform.

Come next Monday, May 13th, we will also discontinue the merchandise and special edition packs on the Heatblur Store. If you still wanted to grab a t-shirt or vinyl for yourself, or one of the special edition packages, we kindly suggest you do it before then.

The pre-order discount will of course continue for both the Lone Wolf and Crew Pack Standard Editions until release day, May 21st. The same goes for the ED E-shop of course.

Regarding keys bought on our store: do not worry, we will send out instructions on how to redeem them on the DCS website shortly prior release. Your keys are always safe with us, should you have lost them, and we will be more than happy to assist you through the process.

Thank you for all of the wonderful support and we hope to see you all soon in the Phantom Skies!

Sincerely,
Heatblur Simulations & Eagle Dynamics

Just for clarity as an intended Steam purchaser- Are the shirts only available through a key purchase for ED's store?

They’re only available through the Heatblur store, but if you buy through that store the module is only compatible with the stand alone version of DCS, not the steam version.

Thanks for thinking of us Steam users Heatblur!  Appreciate it!

I only wish it was a bit longer, I'll have a very narrow window to get it because I'll be gone for most of the month.

But can I buy a shirt without a module? I didn't see an option for that.

No Crew Pack option for Steam users?

You can set up funds on Steam wallet beforehand on your safe device and make the purchase via the Steam cellphone app wherever you are away from home, without any hassle with payment methods. Given you have internet connection ofc...

Yep https://store.heatblur.com/collections/apparel but it will cost $25 but if my interpretation of the above announcement is correct you only have until 13th May to order.  Although having said that they still have F14 and viggen t-shirts for sale so maybe the 13th May only applies to the pre-order bundle where you get the t-shirt for an extra $5

Can't you buy it from your phone?

I often do thatcas I'm not that much by the PC. Simply log in on steam on your phone and buy it.

My $59.99 is burning a hole through my pocket!

Hard to get a connection in the middle of the Irish Sea.

Climb the topgallant and you should get good signal.

Give the money to a friend and get them to buy it for you as a gift on steam?

Wait, does this mean that the keys were already send out? Was that the redemption code I received per mail? Or are those separate keys you will send out after release?

Bummers! That's why I couldn't find it on the store page anymore two days ago... guess it's the regular version then. Probably missed it by just a few hours, if not minutes.

Please make it possible to get a bundle with all the vinyls (so, hopefully three then) with the next module and I'm fine. Can wait. And I'd love some bigger sizes for the shirts as well in the future. Thx!

Thank you for thinking of us steam users @Heatblur. I purchased the F-4E yesterday and benefited from the 20 % discount.
