Hopefully, since $2000 will only get a texture pack that won't work in the future (v2.5).

What a mess. Apart from being critical of making something as simple as this a DLC, I must say that ED demonstrated extreme carelessness in arranging with him and approving of him making it as a DLC without even verifying they could protect the content. Amateurish in the extreme.
And really? Donating, not pledging? Really fun for everyone who's donated if the donations stop at $1900 and no one gets anything. Or maybe $2800, so people get the first version, but get shafted when 2.5 comes around. yes maybe! you can spend 10$ for a great Modder or you can drink Bier for 10$ it is your judgment

I'd have no problem buying this DLC for $10 (it actually looks REALLY good), but there is no way I'm donating on the hope that it get's released.

Seriously, donating instead of pledging + no transparency = Good luck with that, I'd rather literally speaking burn money before sending it his way.

I meant providing free advertising, posting in our front page - I'll probably buy it when DCS 2.0 gets merged and is stable. It isn't going to work that way. If the donation goal is reached, the product will be free to all. If it is not reached it will not be available to anyone.

Either way, whether you choose to donate or not, when you get it I can guarantee you'll like very much what he's produced. Nate

I'm happy to support such an ambitious project, from what I've seen this is well worth the price of 3 beers in a pub over here.

Tom, I'm not sure If I understand Your post correctly. You can donate directly via link on his blog, without even getting close to ED website. I bought it - I don't quite understand why not make this the price, this way we are paying for others to get it free. IMO he should make this donation-ware with a minimum price.

Well, it's either a high-quality beer in an expensive setting ( Paulaner at XinTianDi) or a crate and a half of beer with my brother-in-law ( Hans Beer)... but in my opinion it's worth it. Donationware would've been better yes. And I didn't see a progress bar or something, I think people that are still doubting will have it easier if they realise the goal has almost been met. Looking at the thread at the ED forums it should not be too difficult to reach 2 and even 3k.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
