This thing looks amazing.

For the sake of clarity, could everybody here register whether they would support the team by buying a Beta. Say working machine and map and some drone targets for training (and manual!). Pay half the price for that, then the other half when the campaign is released within a finished integrated game. Lets just accept this Beta might be buggy as hell and not complain, just feedback, and let the thing get better and better, because we should be supporting this effort wholeheartedly. After the Cliffs of Dover debacle, I think we should accept that the model for creating these complex flight things might be changed for good.

I've got my first half £15 with these guys name on it right here and now.

Anybody else

I agree. I would put down my dough for it as soon as they announced it

I here ya on the COD thing. Even though a patch is due next week to really help FPS over land, there is a reason they delayed the US release til late April.

Anyway, I officially say I would pay for beta, if for nothing else to help fund this piece of software. It's amazing that such an independent producer could create such a high fidelity yet beatiful YET well performing game.

I feel for ED since they seam to be tied to an engine that's 8 years old(maybe older).

we begged, pleaded, tried sound logic and mild threats in this thread Paid beta thread ..... Flex wouldnt budge.

Good luck and God's speed my son.

Sorry missed that thread Don't go steam for this release - DCS went for straight download - hasn't done them any harm. Payment by Paypal, not even a complex webstore needed.

No concrete decisions have been made yet on release methods, betas, payments etc. It's a thoughtful poll. Looking forward to the response.

Cheers

I'd cough up $50 bucks.

I put that much on AAA, and had to put that down after a week or so- coming straight from Black Shark, I couldn't live with the feel.
