Who can honestly say that a MiG-17 or F-8 Crusader would not be a first day purchase?
I hope all of you would buy these...

What is a first day purchase?
Buying a pre-order with a small discount months in advance ?
Buying when the "Beta" is released (available to download) ?
Buying when the aircraft is feature complete and not Beta anymore ?

Those 2 would bring me back to DCS. But I'd only buy when they were "finished" no more beta buys for me. Not buying a promise anymore. Some folks promises I don't trust.
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

To me it used to be beta release. Nowadays it's the last option, when leaving beta status.

The 1.5 Mig21 also have a cascade of bugs that only aggravates by patches instead of clearing out. As for VEAO... hilarious. They had 100 modules in plans (made on napkins I think), the maps are scrapped, the helicopters are scrapped, the remaining odd franken planes scrapped or in limbo, military bragged contract... not come to fruition, Hawk feature frozen (can't wait to see the new altitude and speed records people will show after the so called AFM is launched), P-40 announced ready for beta for September is comatose, good they have MoD tap on the back on how perfect the Typhoon 3D model is (rofl). They have some believers that keep spamming their subforums with "prayer like posts" ( example: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2596973#post2596973 ) but other than that... they look doomed. I am curious how they will solve the P-40 prepay money problem when their fail will be obvious even for their most stubborn believers...

VEAO = Very Eminent Aircraft Occlusions. We have not seen a keeper from these guys yet. It Is likely we never will. I would not be surprised if DCS did not just drop them like a hot potato. The Hawk has been a disaster and a disappointment. It rattled me out of "I will buy whatever DCS puts out". All the promises of new aircraft died in the wind. zaelu is right. They had more aircraft planned than the late Luftwaffe lol.
To address the "first day purchase". When I bought the MiG-15, F-86 and MiG-21 I knew they would be in Beta forever. They are, and I am having a lot of fun with the '15. The 21, in spite of LN's problems continues to be a favorite. They are wonderful aircraft that I really Love to fly. I am sure I will enjoy the Sabre when the fever to fly it hits me. So, I guess if you don't want to fly Betas, you don't fly DCS anymore. I hope that the quality of DCS is never again compromised by companies that do not deliver. NTTR is absolutely Great! Lets hope we continue to get aircraft worthy of this map. FC3 types LoD is fine by me and I actually prefer this sometimes. Simple flight models and bugs that go on forever is unacceptable. I like a signature I from Leaf in the wind....Finishing a product (that has already been paid for) shouldn't be a priority but an obligation. Faith in the product is paramount.
So let me correct myself. A MiG-17 or F-8 from LN, Belsimtek or DCS would be a first day purchase.
