Thank you

@Someone I originally said I was not purchasing this bird, even though I wanted it, due to ED's lack of updated ground units and features, but after listening to your Enigma interview and being a Software Engineer myself, I can hear the devotion you have in your product. Also, the details you provided on the process was insightful. So I just added the Herc to my collection on pre-order. Keep up the great work.

I also really enjoyed the interview, and it was this interview that made me buy the C-130J. I'm more excited to fly the C-130J than the MiG-29A.

This bird looks nice and promising! But hardly I have to say "no" to any purchase from a3rd party developer after the second loss of developer (first VEAO, now Razbam).

IMHO, it is very nice that ASC developer/owner has made comments this thread even though this is just a pre-order.

Ok, so idiot question. If I purchase from ASC directly will I be able to bind the key I get immediately to my account, or not until the module is released?

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. From the ASC website:

"Upon purchase, you'll receive your license code via email within minutes. You'll use this code to instantly activate your C-130J when it's released."

You can prove anything with facts! Fair point, well made. Cheers

You can actually bind it immediately after purchase- so it activates the license on your ED account. The discord FAQ has instructions, i already bound mine to my account

of course it can't be accessed until release, but the wording there is a little confusing since it gives the impression that you have to wait until release to redeem the code, which is not the case..
