The August 2nd Wags Update! Thread

[jctrnacty]

Thx for update Wags, the more people able to fly open beta could result in less bugs in final build. good move.

I'd suggest voting on reported bugs.\

New reported user bugs can be voted in, or out, or rejected.

That could also save on duplicate bug submissions.

 

Only IF;

All in all, very inefficient and time consuming.

 

Could be improved though if every confirmed bug report is edited in the first post to reflect this.

Not up to ED.

 

Valve is a for-profit company, and downloading stuff on their servers is a cost to them. Allowing games to be moved to their platform even though they received no money for the purchase is a bad idea financially; they do allow it for their own games (no surprise), for games that use their own DRM etcetera, and there have been a few exceptions outside of that where it is unknown what kind of deal happened in the background.

 

When was the last time you were able to move a game purchase done on Origin to Steam, for example? ;)

 

There have been some games that you could transfer, off the top of my head I recall Command & Conquer games bought viaSteam transferred to Origin and a few months ago Simbin gave all boxed DVD game owners the option to register their game keys in Steam and enjoy the benefits of that format. It's not the end of the world but I would really like to be able to register my current game keys via Steam perhaps some time in the future if ED could explore the options.

C&C is owned by Electronic Arts.

Origin is owned by Electronic Arts.

As mentioned, there are exceptions, but I am not privy to what was done in the background to make it happen. Hopefully it can be made to happen, but it's not an automatic thing.

Thanks for the update, good news!

Making 1.2.6 open beta might be a good move, but I don't think it changes much. We just had a 2 week open beta of 1.2.5 with bug reports from the community. It's just that it was not branded as open beta and some people was upset by the bugs. The latter part will be avoided by using the term "open beta" for 1.2.6.

 

I think it is a good move. It will make a lot of people happy.

Could the new upk-23-250 model mentioned by Wags in his latest update be legally used in the DCS Mig-21Bis Module?

 

[IonicRipper]

People that do not have FC3, will not have the FC3 manual.

 

These manuals are for the separate Su-25A and A-10A modules.

 

If you have FC3, you can safely ignore the modules and thus their manuals, because you already have everything, including the manual chapters that tell you how to use the aircraft.

 

When I bought the Su-25 module, I got the FC3 manual, not an individual manual specifically for the Su-25. Is this correct?

 

EDIT: Just found this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1829967&postcount=32 which seems like the correct Su-25 manual. That was not the manual I had after the update.
