I wonder. The negativity towards ED and DCS world over the last 5 or so years? The reputation they have garnered over that period. Now this? They are hemorrhaging good will and customers.

Not trying to put fires out at all - just attempting to separate the wheat from the chaff and get real concerns put forward to the Devs which would otherwise be drowned out by the illogical, unconstructive rants of the vocal few as is usually the case when change is contemplated.
Viper Are you officially associated with Eagle Dynamics in any role? e.g. a beta tester, a mod, etc?

I think viper has missed the point. Its not so much the system its the selling of a product then 2 days later changing the "terms of use" I dont know what car you drive but how would your opinion of the manufacturer change if they told you you have to now turn up at the dealership every 3 weeks or you wont be able to drive it? Im pretty sure your next car would be made by a totaly different company.

Just LOL at Sith and Viper (not even a mod there I think) trying to put the multiple fires out on the DCS forum. It's a terrible drm system, and a bait and switch bringing it in after people had bought the AV8. Not trying to put fires out at all - just attempting to separate the wheat from the chaff and get real concerns put forward to the Devs which would otherwise be drowned out by the illogical, unconstructive rants of the vocal few as is usually the case when change is contemplated. Are you officially associated with Eagle Dynamics in any role? e.g. a beta tester, a mod, etc? No. Not associated at all, apart from being a satisfied consumer, that is.

Viper,
Thank you for the reply.
I can now ignore all your nonconstructive vocal rants against paying customers since you are a nonofficial spokesperson. Of course you can - that’s your prerogative.

I wonder. The negativity towards ED and DCS world over the last 5 or so years? The reputation they have garnered over that period. Now this? They are hemorrhaging good will and customers. What reputation? This is literally the only place that is throwing a hissy fit over this. And this place has stopped being relevant to DCS since the trolls took over.

Unsure if you are aware or not of this thread at Eagle Dynamics Forums that is up to 348 posts at the time of this reply. Thanks to that thread the time period is already under review. A couple of other considerations have also been forwarded to ED for further contemplation.

The "can't meet a deadline, unfinished for years, glacial development, abysmal customer service, abysmal customer relations, liars, unresponsive to feedback etc, etc" reputation. Oh they're throwing a "hissy fit" over on the ED forums too. Maybe all y'all need to collectively get your heads out of your backsides before its too late. the clock is ticking. Tick tock Edit Beaten to it

27 years of history and no indication of any hiccups so no reason to worry now.
