More news - the WWII Normandy project has fallen flat on its backside (as many predicted, due to the waster who was running the thing) but the bits have been picked up by DCS.
Now the aircraft wiill be released individually and cost $40 each. There is a deal for anyone who pledged over $20 on the Kickstarter campaign to get their aircraft at half price, depending on how much was pledged (each plane being $20 instead of $40 and any odd payments tough luck - the $10 is lost!) along with the Normandy terrain for free.
Anyone who pledged less than $20 (ahem... never trusted the guy anyway) has lost their money as far as the aircraft are concerned, but has just been given $20 worth of bonus points on their DCS account. So my $2 pledge just got raised by 10x!
We also get our names in the credits in the manual.
W00T!! (see - I can do it now, too!
)
The predicted release dates are:
August 2014 – Fw 190 D-9 Dora
October 2014 - BF-109K
December 2014- Spitfire IX
March 2015 - P-47D-30
May 2015 - Normandy Map with period AI units
Other features like the Me.262A-1 and AI-only B-17G are also in development we but do not have a delivery data estimate at this time until these other features are further along.
