Robli Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Wags's demo video from yesterday brought up multiple ATFLIR-related bug reports from viewers, so I guess they are trying to fix these before releasing 2.7.

dburne Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Sounds like they apparently need to do some more bug squashing on the new ATFLIR targeting pod for the Hornet.
Archie Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Oh mannnnnn. Another thing I'll buy that will hardly ever get used! Always been my favourite heli. Edited March 26, 2021 by Archie
DBFlyguy Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 They definitely make some catchy cool videos! I'm sure its gonna sale well for those inclined to jump on that early access hype train again.... I'll maybe throw some cash their way in 1-2 years time when its 50% off and a finished product.

And done, forgot I had some 'miles' sitting there so even better. 2
CanadaOne Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Still on the fence with the Hind, kinda leaning towards no. Obviously it's really cool, but I like the way the Ka-50 flies so much that going back to an ordinary helo flight style might not be fun. Not up on Steam yet for pre-order, and if it doesn't come up, and is only full price later, the Hind might run close to $100 (tx incld). At that point I'd wait for a sale in a year. I'm not $100 worth of interested. The Mosquito, on the other hand, is an instant purchase.

Tbh by the time the Hind is released I will have forgotten about the money. 1
unlikely_spider Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 It seems like the Hind is pretty speedy, as far as older helo's are concerned. I've learned to operate the essentials in the Huey and Mi-8, but the transit times in those get kind of boring after a few repetitive missions. Also I do love those weird blue old school Russian cockpits.
Blooddawn1942 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 That's the chopper I'm waiting for so long! Can't wait to put that beast into battle! Urra!

Every single module they release goes into deep discount prior to being fully complete and months before they initially claim it will, the only ones that haven't to date have been the Heatblur F-14 and Deka JF-17. Unless someone is trying to find new ways to burn money or just loves financing Nick Grey's warbird flying hobby... there isn't a reason not to wait a few months, you'll even get a more complete and polished product by then. But to each their own, I'd rather waste the extra cash on beer and grub On a somewhat related note since "Mover" is kinda a DCS "celebrity" now, have yall heard about this TV pilot him and "Gonky" are working on? Evidently they are doing a dogfight competition using real jet trainers and featuring two fairly large DCS gaminig personalities, "Operator Drewski" and "Jeff Favignano". Should be pretty interesting! Edited March 26, 2021 by DBFlyguy 1

Tyberan Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 how did you get $100 CAD for that? Its $48 USD so thats what $60 CAD? Does Canadian Gov charge you GST on digital purchases?

The Tomcat is starting to make more sense to me as a future time investment than the Hornet. My hang up is Jester - and how he handles an intercept, or a ground attack. TBD I guess. I love the Tomcat though - I’ll get to fly it if I ever get this damn new computer built.
Bremspropeller Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Jester is a bit of a Union man. "Nope, can't do that." "Unable." An then hes's giving you sheet for not plugging in on the tanker on the first try.... 1

Does Canadian Gov charge you GST on digital purchases? If there is no Steam pre-order discount - which there might not be - then the $70US price becomes $90Cdn. Sometimes digital purchases get taxed, if so, add a few bucks. So we're in the $100 ballpark either way. Edit - On Steam Canada: F-14, F-16, F-18, A-10C II are $101. Most jets and props are $60 to $80 Maps are $50 to $60 Carrier is $50 Combined Arms is $50 Edited March 27, 2021 by CanadaOne

I've got the stand alone version, transferred from steam years ago. To everyone else I'm thinking of getting Syria map, is it worth it? the last map i bought was NTTR and its a disappointment.
