I would recommend switching to standalone DCS version. There are certain benefits compared to Steam.

I'd agree - I am on standalone, just saying ED will want presales from people who aren't

True, but the thing is Steam requires exact date. Every "release date" that was planned for Fulcrum was not a date, more like a season.

I get that - that's what I was saying, that ED will announce the release date at least four weeks in advance of the date, so that they can start selling it on Steam. We're obviously thinking alike anyhoo

Looks like that

Anyway It appears release date is already 2-4 weeks away judging by Wags' videos rolling out. Not sure how will Steam pre-order fit in.

A new DLC has been added to the Steam database for DCS World. Could the MiG-29A's release be imminent?

The C-130J developers have said that this September update is not their focus.

Steam indicates end-of-offer the 30th. Is the date of release?

No! This is just an estimate requested by Steam. The MiG should arrive in the September update, which could happen at any time. Of course, this is if all goes well with the MiG-29's development.

Our plan is for September, we are hopeful we can meet that, but it will depend on all the QA checks being done currently for the MiG-29A, other modules, all third parties and the DCS core, so we have put the 30th as the date. It could come before or just after. 

thank you

Why it's only 13% off not 30%?

[BIGNEWY]

price should match the Eshop price as close as possible for US dollars 

[quantum97]

Preorder price in EShop is 55.99USD converting USD to PLN shoud give us 204.31 PLN but on steam it is 50 PLN higher. Even if we will take steam conversion where default price is higher 294 PLN -30% it's 205.8 PLN with gives us 56.40 USD.

Full price is $80 which is around 340PLN.

No 1 USD is 3.65 PLN.  3.65 x 80 it's 292.

How did you even get your national currency on Steam? For me it is Euro.

Please, disregard, I was counting in EUR instead

Around 2018-2019 steam changed Polish accounts from EURs to PLN.

Damn. Currency conversions should be avoided as much as possible. I feel like no matter what I try, I loose some money there.

The "Wags videos" should come in thick & fast now. We have a lot to cover.

Navigation, Sensors, A-A, A-G.

If the release doesn’t come before September 30, will you have to offer Steam buyers refunds?

Steam have their own refund policy, we have no control over it.

The general Steam refund policy applies to all DCS products. Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any title that is requested within 14 days of purchase and has been played for less than 2 hours
