Pacific WW2 sim - COMBAT PILOT

[FlyinCoffin]

is the team a bunch of american or japanese? or just american?

 

I know how high the euphoric feelings for the country can be. XDD

(I seldom flying in the past something else than for the worst evil psychopath "ever" which is part of my history and family and heritage)

(but I cant wait for carrier landings) a old machine. And flying a zero at the beginning of the war versus the usa.

 

 

And I really like the carrier landings if its windy and stormy.

 

There was the name "Jason" who seems to be a hero for the community.

But the team isnt just Jason.

 

Youll have to say the flight simming community can be proud for it pre alpha footage releases and happy like Iam.

 

Its just about this disgusting war and we face it this time somewhere else. We should not glorify that to much. And I also hope we do get a realistic flight model and damage model. Hmm

The sound is 50% to being where the sound engineer says wants it, so is WIP...and is already far superior to anything we've seen in a flight sim.

Outstanding.

What have I to do exactly to get access to the pre Alpha?

I suppose I have to register in Patreon?

For free?

They seem to have set it so that only the highest tier has access - so the pre-alpha tech demo costs a subscription of a bit over 32 USD / 25 GBP per month (about 390 USD per year). Personally, I'll be waiting for the full release to try it.

It’s an “Ace” tier membership thing. I did it as soon as announced because I want to support this team. The pre-Alpha access is nice (and impressive IMO) and will be iterated/improved as they go.

I might consider joining if it could be done with a single payment. I don't want to have CP billing me monthly😒

If you don't use Steam, you are out of luck. Pre-alpha only through Steam. Glad I waited before signing up for this.

I don't use Steam for anything else generally, but was no trouble utilizing for this purpose.

I believe the longer terms plans for any full release does include direct dowload.

For those asking if it’s worth it🤣

No it’s not, it is purely for supporting the development. 
I urge those who can afford it to join the Patreon there are affordable options. 
I went all in, because I kind of like to walk the walk not talk the talk and yes I find it expensive, but I find it worth it. Told missus not to spend money on Christmas gifts because I save up to a big one.

Fortunately I don't need any extra funds or help to deliver a big one.

That was too easy. You get no kudos for that one. I served it on a silver platter for you. 
But I can see now why I write myself into trouble all the time

And the article confirms the B-24D and J variants 😁👌

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Thank you for pointing out, Mysticpuma.

 

Didn't expect the B24, especially several versions.

 

Have a nice day.

They have their own forum where they post their news. I'm not trying to be snarky here, but we're not in the business here of posting links to competitors' announcements and websites, and the information is easy enough to find with a Google search. 

[BrotKasting]

No links allowed? Got it. There is even a complete thread about it here though...?

[LukeFF]

It's fine to discuss it, but no full reposts of their dev updates, hyperlinks, etc.
