C-130J Pre-purchase

[Tom Kazansky]

Would it be helpful if @Someone from the ASC guys (pun intended) clarified whether they signed contracts that prevent them from being another VEAO or RB in the worst case?

See this statement:

I understand some concerns, but I believe they are unfounded. This is a completely different publisher than Razbam, with its aspirations. Yes, there's always a certain risk, and that can't be ignored. Perhaps ED should provide greater protection for users, for example, by ensuring their product is supported for at least six years from release, and if such support isn't provided, a refund in ED miles is offered as standard procedure? It might be worth thinking about it for modules of 3rd party devs, because I see that some people have some concerns.

Thank you. This statement covers 50% of my point.

No, thanks.

Two years ago I'd have probably bought it just to support the developers, but now after Razbam debacle I'm much less enthusiastic about spending money on DCS.

 

Your enthusiasm is yours to manage as you please, of course. My enthusiasm, however, remains enthusiastic.

 

I want all the fancy flightsim enjoyment I can have. And a DCS C-130, for me certainly, is top of the list. And I'll pre-order, twice, to get my hands on that kind of flying fun. Actually I will pre-order twice, I'm getting one for me and one for a content creator. As stated, I'm very enthusiastic. I think this is a great step forward for the sim.

A bit strange. When you visit the Main Website, you don't see any information or Pictures of the C-130J.  Poor Marketing Department.

This German site doesn't even mention the C-130J in the NEWS on the left. The English site does.

If you check other sites, you'll notice that some haven't been updated for some time. It's best to follow the English version.

I see the German Language is not actual.  But in English there is no Fotos from C-130J

Looking forward to the release date.  I just purchased it.  I know it will be a great airplane.

[draconus]

What about first person pilot body and of other crew?

Will there be new explosion effect for the MOAB?

Very promising module. Looking forward to it

[Red_Dragon]

What about AI co-pilot or AI navigator? Who know is it in plans?

It was in pre order video, but small, first part only:

but in reality it is quite a large mushroom:

I hope so. If its that ridiculous brown smudge effect used for the MIG 21 “nukes” or the MOAB in the AC-130 original mod, forget it. I’m not purchasing it.

 Now I just have to wait for the launch of the C-130J that I always dreamed of at DCS!

[ThorBrasil]

 

[G.J.S]

Pretty sure I’ll purchase, it will be interesting to say the least.
Somewhere waaaayy down the line, I would actually like to see a ‘H’ model (UK equivalent being the ‘K’). Good ‘ol’ steam gauge cockpit! 

Bring it on!

Love to see HALO jumps for Special Ops.

Oh, I like how those guys make teaser videos. Exactly my thing. Show us how things work in practice. Not more not less. That's the stuff. Keep them coming! Thanks!

Hmm, while this sounds very exciting, I probably won't pick this up. I've purchased the M-2000C earlier this year for 55€. Now I learn that the module will be defunct past version 2.9xx (and it's already buggy btw) --- so I basically threw 55€ out the window. I am not sure why I should bother to invest in a new module from an external developer other than Heatblur.

I hope your point simply is you are frustrated by the ED/RB issue, like a lot of us are, because if you really compare that with buying the C-130J, I guess it takes more guts buying the M-2000C earlier this year than going in for the C-130J, imho.

You got a point there. But both the F-15E and the M-2000 just sounded too good to pass. I also put some weight into both parties saying (one more than the other) that they are working in all earnesty to resolve the issue. There were also official words from ED that they were intending to make the modules work for a long time.

So maybe let me rephrase my point: since there is no recompensation for a module suddenly becoming defunct, I am wary on buying more stuff from external devs.

Thanks for clarifying. Let's hope for the best.

Is it me or did I miss the propellor reverse blade angle on the landing?  Way to lame, no they don't use brakes to slow down, not the ones I crewed in.

That video answers it

I've seen it and it looks like big old boom, no new effects.

They said "brakes arm, all 4"? Maybe that was it?
