DCS: "In This Together" - Sale - some 50% off

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2020-03-18/

The mighty I-16 for $19.99!!

And others. Yet the F-14 is not that cheap. Though when reading the news, it all appears kinda complex to me - then again, it's DCS, so ... yeah ...

 

[DD_Arthur]

You can try the F16 for free today and tomorrow.  Then the F/A18 for a couple of dys, etc.

I'm a sucker for this sort of thing so I'm staying well away in case I blow the loo roll budget on DCS

[Kira]

DERP!  Nevermind...  How do the trials work?  All I'm seeing is the 50% sale.
 

Yeah, not an F-16 fan, but... oh hum.  Gee, lets see.  Well.  I see why pilots like it.

[fruitbat]

Its because its the mutts nuts👍

[Kira]

The mutts nuts, huh?  The bee feels insulted, what with its knees and all.

I'm thinking it's not going on another 50% sale for a while, so now might be the time to get it.

[Kira]

Just tried the F-16.  Must say, I agree with Jabbers.  I am NOT impressed, and think that Heatblur completely dropped the ball on this one.  The release is simply not in even a usuable alpha state, never mind early access ready.

Heatblur?

It's an ED release old boy... and it's come a long way in the months since October of last year.

 

[fruitbat]

I seem to be able to use it pretty effectively 😇

Ah, yes.  Well.  That explains much.  I would definitely expect better of Heatblur.

[DD_Arthur]

Quite enjoying DCS's free for a month deal.  The F16 is sublime and everything you'd expect it to be.  

Except fast.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Throttle seems to go to it's full travel and 'burner lights up but.....

Meanwhile, at the other end of the speed-spectrum, this thing is just delightful.

Welcome to aerobatic tractor club! One of my favourite modules for a bimble, throw about and inverted tree dodging.

And the sounds are just fantastic, that is really what I think. By the way, which one's Pink? Oop, got carried away there, 'wishing I was there'. b'dum tisch.

You know, we could do this for Dogzford....we could....kinda....

Thats two of us.  A few more?  The Yak52 is available NOW for a princely $19.99 or sixteen squid, takes about ten minutes to set up the controls and is an authentic delight to fly

ooops

I will very probably buy the F-16, Persian Gulf and the super carrier. I managed to cold start the A-10C, take off and sort of land.

[Crash]

I will have to get this mmmmm

 

[Crash]

Just bought it, along with Persian Gulf and F-16. Viacom looks like it would be worth it https://www.vaicompro.com/

 

 

[Crash]

Ooooops, just bought an F-18 to go with the carrier

[DD_Arthur]

After watching this I have succumbed😎

 

[Crash]

Just been watching some Viacom Pro on youtube and have bought it.

 

[T_O_A_D]

I grabbed the I-16 and the F-16 still have to download the latter, but the I-16 is a treat

[Kira]

50% sale and "free to fly" is on for 11 more days right now.
