-TBC-AeroAce Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) The thing that gets my goat is that they took away the Leppard 109 skin and gave it to only the people that ordered BoS before there was any content. I ordered BOS in Dec 2013 when there was only Lagg and Lapino map FFS. Edited May 30, 2018 by AeroAce

I seem to remember it got axed for being wrong in one of the updates. What the early birds did get is the Diamonds - you should have that as you pre-ordered, although why anyone would want it I have no idea.

I like it much better than any bonus in game content since it doesn't affect the game in any way and doesn't force anyone to pre-order. Very honest and much needed practice these days. Hmm - I actually see the spit IX and G14 as bonus in game content for early purchasers currently. Soon they will be included in many MP maps (FNBF has them this week, berloga will follow, wings of laggerty and the official servers too). No Bobp - no flyee - dodge my giro sight assisted cannon non pre purchaser! No problem at all with this BTW - its a great way of a) rewarding early backers with something good (and it is good) quickly b) driving the desire for pre orders to generate ongoing income. Having stuff there also enables the community to bring forth missions and campaigns. Its a good strategy and one I wholly agree with given the pace this sim develops and the dedication of 777 to it. Its also not as if 777 are asking us to throw are hard earned at them every month to keep up (WT).. $100 every 12-14 months is more than fair for what you get in return. BUT whilst it may not force someone to pre-order it does affect the game (at least online) to a certain extent. Moreover the amount of threads it generates and the on-line videos further act as fantastic marketing increasing the "want" factor.

I am offline player and was unaware of online availability of BP planes. And frankly speaking the decision to add BP planes to online now looks really strange to me but demand brings supply I suppose, especially considering the fact that all servers in the game are owned by community and not devs. In offline these planes are just nice preview since no one can use them in campaign without mods.

Apart from the marketing value of early release of individual planes, the other benefit of having them out there is that they get an intense round of testing one or two at a time. Then various small bugs or quirks get noticed by the people who like testing and reading PNs etc and the team can make small changes if they think necessary. If they all came out at once I think this testing effect would be more diffuse. I like the way the team handles the releases: it allows the enthusiasm and feedback to be directed at one increment to the game at a time. Hence the cunning upgrade to the gold bars in between releases of aircraft, not simultaneously. 2
