Just to make things clear: RoF are not involved in this Ilya/Oleg/DCS project.

(RoF are involved with the Battle of Stalingrad project, which is completely different).

I think this statement sums up the problem with the flight siming community perfectly.

Also, a little clarification since a lot of people seem to be writing about this.
Here's what happens if we hit our base goal, but no stretch goals.
The final product that is released will have the following content:
FREE Flyable P-47
FREE Flyable Spitfire
FREE Flyable Bf.109
FREE Non-Flyable P-51 (can be made flyable for an additional fee)
FREE Non-Flyable FW.190D (can be made flyable for an additional fee)
FREE Non-Flyable B-17 (cannot be made flyable)
FREE Non-Flyable Me.262 (cannot be made flyable)
If you back the project at a $20 level, you will receive either the FW.190D or the P-51 as a flyable.
If you back the project at a $40 level, you will receive BOTH the FW.190D and the P-51 as flyables.
Now, if we hit stretch goals, then all additional aircraft will be seen by everyone as non-flyables, but will be available as a flyable for a fee. If you back at a $20 level, you will choose any ONE of the paid flyables. If you back at a $40 level, you will still receive ALL the paid flyables on release.
If we end up meeting our ultimate $1million stretch goal, that means you will receive 13 aircraft for backing at a $40 level or above.
And yes, all aircraft will be made to the same level of quality and high standards as the DCS P-51.

So what happens if you already own the DCS P-51 in DCS world? Does that mena you would have to buy it again for the WWII world? I am asking a hypothetical question I realize no one here may have the answer yet.. I will ask the same quation over there..

The question has already been asked, and AFAIK they are trying to sort something out.No idea how they will approach this though. I bought the P51 in the steam sale, and so far all I've done is sit in the cockpit and wondered how young kids coped with all that complexity and managed to fight in the thing!
I thought CoD was realistic, but DCS is a whole new level.

OK, thanks. I'd seen that. I misunderstood what you wrote, and thought you meant that they would be included if the first goal was reached. I'm still not really sure what they mean by 'stretch goals', but I presume that these will be included if 375, 000 dolars is raised..which seems uncertain.

Each "stretch goal" requires higher total pledge amounts and includes more and more aircraft/features. More money/pledges allows them to hire more people to create these items for the release next year. Of course there are "always" delays in this type of work.
