How about finishing some previous product, before releasing new ones? Sorry ED but no purchase this time. We want FINISHED AND WORKING products.

[OrionRox]

ED products that still in early access:
CH-47F: Early access.
AH-64D: Early access.
F-16C: Early access.
Supercarrier: Early access.
Mosquito FB VI: Early access.
Mi-24P: Early access.
Yak-52: Early access.
WWII Assets Pack: Early access.
Southwest Afghanistan Map: Early access.
Afghanistran Map: Early access.

I'm not including any 3rd party addons, if so the list will be longer.
I bought all modules I listed above expect CH-47F, because I had enough, I don't want to pay almost full price to support a product that might remains in the early access phase for over 4 years, or even longer.
I'd rater spend full price to buy OH-58D because Polychop was able to deliver a finished product on the release date, for somehow this became a rare virtue in DCS.
I'm a software dev, when companies start releasing unfinished products like this, especially at this pace, it's usually means 2 things:
1) The company has huge technical debt.
2) The company has huge financial issues.
Often this two things come hand-in-hand.

How about you actually finish a module instead of releasing more

[Potatotron]

I've literally been waiting for you to fix grond AI for years. In that time you've added a number of helicopters and maps. Most of which is still in early access.

It's taken you longer to stop the AI from having laser accuracy than it takes companies to develop entire games. Why would you think I trust you to finish this map, or any of the other items still in early access?

[anakletor]

Sorry, I have enough modules, campains and maps. I just need them to get finished before I purchase even more.

[BradyBaseball]

How about you fix the problems first before releasing new maps?

[Savage--]

The amount of disdain of comments is giving me hope.

[mattboggs]

Nope, I'm done. Not buying anymore partially developed products until you give me more reason to actually play the game. Like a dynamic campaign might be nice.

[RikkiSan]

We need more focus on fixing aircraft and gameplay ED, not maps.

[uglyigor]

too many unfinished projects...too little completed modules and terrains. Pass for now. thx.

[somecallmetim]

OK the map looks pretty nice and will be a good area for missions but I'm not dropping any more money any early access modules until the F-15E situation is resolved and the other maps get properly finished.

[guybrushthreepwood]

Nope, another half finished product, that may or may not get finished... Eventually.

[FilipeFibra]

Sorry guys, I gave enough passion and support, I’ll pass this time.

[blindflug]

Afghanistan didn’t meet my expectations. Trailer looked very promising like this one… Same with Kola map from
Orbx.. I never buy a map anymore without seeing it on twitch and YouTube before.

[farawayseal]

using the mirage 2000 and av-8 in the trailers when the future of those modules is not publicly known, great

[Aids]

There is so much more that needs to be improved upon within core DCS, I just don't understand the focus on pumping out half baked maps, I guess its the most cost effective way to raise funds.

There are still some hideous looking AI assets within the game, the AI itself needs a lot more work, the Dynamic Campaign seems to be a long way off, the ATC system is really outdated, the list goes on and

I really love DCS and my comments come from a yearning for it to improve and live up to its potential. I feel like maybe what we really need is a modern competitor to DCS that forces ED to focus on the more important stuff.

[JoeTheSpaceGuy]

I’ve stopped purchasing new aircraft or terrains until we get some proper news on the dynamic campaign and open world map.

[joneill]

No thanks - finish the existing promised stuff first. For example, the Super Carrier that is in early access for many years and still doesn’t handle the iconic F14 properly. Too much new stuff being pushed while existing stuff hanging with little progress for way too long. No more early access for ED modules for me.

[mepizzasmangled]

Guys look, I've supported this company since the early 2000s, the recent complications amongst partners and general instability are concerning and for obvious reasons ED can't speak openly about the true reality of these situations. It's just safer for me (and most) to just avoid modules for now until the partners situation is resolved publically. Map looks great though!

[generic_luke]

Map looks nice, but its always a little dissapointing to see another EA product added to a pile. Would be great to see one thing finished before another is put out, or at least have fewer in EA at any given time.
