C-130 Pre-Order ???


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I may be stupid, in fact, my mom thinks I may very well be the dumbest person currently inhabiting the planet.

Despite visiting the DCS homepage several times, I cannot figure out how to pre-order the C-130.  There's a little thumbnail that says "C-130J Pre-Order", but clicking it just goes to a preview video.  It doesn't actually take me to a page to pre-order the thing.  The end of the video just says "Pre-Order Now with 30% Discount".

Okay, I'm sold!  Now, how do I ... you know, pre-order now with 30% discount?

Given my cognitive limitations, can someone explain to me how to make this transaction?  If you could explain it like I'm five years old, I would appreciate it.  I'll likely still not understand the instructions, but I have people who can help me from there.

Thank you!

Nevermind, I finally found it, on the Thanksgiving Sale page.

Yeah, I first thought it had been released based in the changelog.  So I went to the planes section of the main site, had it show 'all', searched for 130, and paged through but could not find the plane.  The only thing the main DCS homepage was the "Pre-Order" thumbnail so I figured "I guess it's still in pre-order".   Talk about confusing.

I did manage to buy it, from the Thanksgiving Sale page.  I got a 20% discount, which is still good (cost $63.99), but speaking as someone who owns 100% of the maps and around 80% of all of the planes/helos in DCS ... this was the most confusing item I have ever purchased.

Awesome release, though.

In case others don't find it. 

Select EShop, then modules. It's not listed in the first page. And, it's actually a few modules down, since it entered pre-orders, and have not been updated to Early Access release. Yes, the site can be quite confusing.

That's quite funny, as it is technically not part of the sale. The discount is for Early Access. 😉 

Well, you're happy camper, so congratulations. I believe it's a great module, that will get even greater later in development! 🥂
