Hey y'all !

Can we expect a potential way to upgrade if we ordered only a standard preorder and want to switch to a founder's edition ?

Best regards

I've tried @Trinakria,  I went through @Snipermanx.   He said he would look into it.   I still haven't heard anything.

Hi there, send me the ID of the support ticket in PM, but it all goes through support manually in case of upgrading the editions, nothing I can hurry up unfortunately.

Maybe today? Would be a great way to spend the weekend!

No, that is a key specific to the standalone version. Steam keys are different and need to be generated from within that platform.

I also haven't seen anyone official state that we get a Steam key if we pre-order the standalone version.

That's understandable but unfortunate if you plan to purchase the Valve frame VR headset. As it will work better if the game launches within steam. I will wait for the steam release. No discount for me 😕

Any news on when EA will launch? 🫡

Half of 2Q is coming soon.

According to the roadmap, EA is "spring 2026"... spring is april, may, june. Rhose are also the months of Q2, which was stated as the full release. That means that release myst he by the end of june, and we can assume that early access is a few weeks before that. 

 

If I wanted to make a bet, maybe they have EA set up to coincide with VE day this weekend? We can hope!

June is not spring.

Correct.

According to the above roadmap EA is Q3, so sometime in either July, August or September. So what the hell is the DLC Presentation?

This is the 3 or 4th version of the roadmap picture. There were previous versions with the tiles "dlc reveal and" early access"

I can' t find the previous version, but the one from april looked like this;

 

And there was a later one where the early access tile was over "spring" 

Which is until the last day of may.

That is the astronomical definition, the meteorological definition is much more widely used. 

Btw, why would they make the distinction in the roadmap between spring and quarter 2  if there were 10 days difference in them? 

From less than 2 months from the end of Q2, there should be an exact release date.

I can no longer figure out when KOREA is coming out. Does anyone have any definite news?

THANKS

[Aapje]

No

Being a fan of the television series Murdoch Mysteries, I have adopted Detective William Murdoch's modus operandi using logic, forensic evidence and mathematical calculations to solve the riddle of the exact release date of the Korea combat flight simulation.

Unfortunately, I am still no closer to the solution. There is something I am missing. I feel sure Detective Murdoch would have solved it within 50 minutes.

Gentlemen, relax.  It will happen when it happens.

Unless it happens before it happens, creating a time paradox, destroying the universe in the process.

So let's hope that it actually happens when it happens.

If it doesn't there's a high probability the earth gets fractured along the 38th parallel. 

Be looking forward to hearing from the Korean sim guys on what they think of the map once it's in their hands.

Я уже не могу понять, когда выйдет KOREA. Есть ли у кого-нибудь точные новости?

СПАСИБО

Корея выйдет в конце весны. Информация взята отсюда.

June 25th, common sense.
