MiG-29A Fulcrum Pre-order

[SAM77]

I've been waiting over a decade for this. I really want the S version. Hopefully with enough purchases of MiG29A, ED will develop that as well. Definite buy for me. Now it's time to build a new PC

Even if an extra 10% discount is enticing, this will be my first time ever refusing a dcs pre-order … I wont purchase until I’m sure that configuration and liveries are not encrypted to prevent user mods, no matter how much I like the aircraft, I was badly burned with the F-5E remaster, so won’t be making the same mistake again.

Aaaannd, this begs the question. Will it be encrypted? @NineLine, @BIGNEWY?

I had the same thought.

 

Hope it doesn't become a thing.

Looks amazing - I really don't fly A2A very much anymore, but I might make an exception for this.

 

The little "No planes were harmed in the filming of this video" disclaimer at the end of the trailer cracked me up.

So I assume that Steam version will be available at release, still no pre order?

Hasnt this been asked and told repeatedly its a Steam issue, they dont do pre-order?

Last time I didnt do any skin for F-5 so the problem is present still? Model viewer 2 wasnt updated yet for encrypted skins?

So it seems no R-27T/ET, and maybe only R-27R, no ER.

FC2024 migs are better equipped for MP servers (where im 85% flying) and you'll get 3 versions of the same plane. Yes, they are simplified, but for me, this module is not worth it. I'll pass this one 

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thats interesting, the MP thing.

As far as i know real MIg-29A doesnt have the T/ET, and only the ER was retrofitted years after entering service. So it could be possible some people will use FC3 Mig-29A on MP instead of the FF, because the expanded misiles options. Or maybe ED will "degraded" FC3 Mig-29A to the same weapon choices of the FF one. XDDD

Steam does pre-order all the time. Sometimes with 1-2 years advance before the release. It's ED/DCS that somehow can't get it to work on steam. They could before. But now they can't.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Steam requires a CERTAIN DATE release for pre-orders. So without a date for Early Access release, no pre-order on Steam.
