How can I tell What I haven't purchased?

[SAG]

So I try to buy everything that the devs put out but as time passes and more products are released, it gets increasingly harder to tell what i'm missing. Is there an easy way to do this that I don't know about or do I have to cross-check my ever increasing list of keys with the list of pruducts? (which I believe is devided into sections in the store)

Honestly, I wish they could produce enough products a year that that was a problem for me, but unfotunately, they just don't come out that fast.

 

If you try to buy something from the store you already own, it won't let you unless you designate it as a gift. So, that's one way you're protected. Other than that, I think checking your keys is the only sure way.

For me the confusion is between "Premium" and "Collector" aircraft. The store does not distinguish between the two. I once thought I owned all of the aircraft because at the time I owned the premium version of every game. it will only get more confusing with the G6/ G6 Late.

This is a weak area in the store.

 

Perhaps the easiest way is to go into the Quick Mission Builder and see what you don't have access to in the list and cross reference that with what's in the store.

That's some good advice right there. does it work for  campaigns too? (sorry, can't really check until i get back to my gaming pc)

Yes for all of the Scripted Campaigns in the store you'll be able to tell if you've bought them from the in-game interface. If you haven't, there will be a lock icon.

Still better than Epic Store ?

I guess you can automate it with web driver with some script (python, java etc)

Or yeah I agree - wait for devs to add icon near each product if you own it.. ?

It works the same way but it's probably a lot more painful that QMB.  BTW: I'm with you.  I think I own every plane but TBH I'm not positive.

Quickest way I found was to put items in the shopping cart in the store then when I view the cart a wee  appears which the legend says "You can purchase this product set only in the form of gift keys" since I already have them. But of course I don't know if this works out with purchases made from Steam, probably does as the products are registered under your player name.

Yeah, it seems that we have to go through hoops to find out what to buy. perhaps the devs can think of a better way.

 

There's an old saying in marketing. It is not the costumer's  job to know what they want to buy.

Click on the banner at the top to go to the main GB website.  Login using your account details.  Go to profile and there is a list on the right - choose "Purchases".  If what you're looking at isn't in the list, you can buy it.

What Von_Tom said. Simples. Salute

[firdimigdi]

Sort of, that still doesn't tell you directly if you have any collector planes which might be added due to a premium edition which I think is what most people get confused over.

There should be a „buy everything (you don‘t already own)“ in the store, listing what you don‘t have. You could also introduce a rebate if you buy the whole thing. (Get everything, you save ...“)

 

It might be a stupid function but it would make shopping easier, just in case if you want to sell more.

I always Pre-Order, so I get that Gold Icon under my Forum Tag. Compare yours to mine and you should get the Picture of what you are missing. I only count 7 Gold Icons on your Tag, there should be 8.
