You DCS people are a sad joke of immaturity
Your not the Baby Jesus Supper Star Savior of Aces High and Some days you just don't know when to keep your pie hole shut.
All things end and people move on. Without a new game engine if AH stays the way it is IT WILL DIE!
Other than Hitech, there isn't a damned thing anyone, especially not you, can do about it!
When it DIES people will simply move on ... JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH AIR WARRIOR!
People play other games and we talk about other games.
DCS is not like AH.
The only way DCS really completes with AH ls when it comes to customer that can ONLY DO ONE Game and AH has a Monthly Subscription Fee you pay whether or not you play that month.
Even in that case, DCS is still pretty much for the people that want exceptional simulation reality. If they are in it for the pretty pictures they will jump over to Warblunder or the like.
Notice no one really talks about Warblunder? I think Warblunder is closer to AH than DCS is and I'm willing to bet AH bleeds more players to Warblunder than it does to DCS.
Unfortunately when people burn out on Warblunder and move on, Aces High Can't seem to catch them on the way to IL2/DCS, mostly due to the older graphics and subscription fee.
One year of AH is $179.88
WarBlunder is a Free to play/Freemuim Game.
DCS is Free It comes with 3 free maps (Modern Caucasus and Marianas Plus WWII Marianas) 2 Free Aircraft (The unarmed TF51d and the SU25T frogfoot) and you have a bunch of very good free community made aircraft mods (A-4e Skyhawk and UH-60 Black hawk come to mind). Multi Player is Free.
So new players, once they decide they like DCS, typically buy Flaming Cliffs first + 1 full fidelity aircraft. Flaming Cliff goes for $59.99 but right now it's on Sale for $14.99 That is a month of AH right there. With DCS Paid mods you generally only pay once, However, Sometimes upgrades have a cost which are generally $5-$15 and the upgrades are not mandatory to play, without the upgrade your mod just isn't going to be as pretty as an updated one. Full Fidelity Modules typically run around $30-$70 bucks. Campaigns typically run $5-15, Smart players only buy modules when they are sale.
The Biggest mistake DCS customers make (Other than buying mods at full price) is they buy more modules than they will ever get around to playing.
Now I'm here unintentionally pitching DCS because you just made out like some Karen whining like a school girl at an HOA meeting because you got your panties in bunch over some one's Gadsden flag flying over their garage. (Notice how I also pitch the bad with the good .... I'm not going to sugar coat it or lie to the community DCS has it's ISSUES and it is NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR ACES HIGH)
I'm putting you back on ignore .... Maybe that is something you should do ... Take all us Unfaithful Pagan gentile heathens that play other games and just put us on Ignore!
