I had been telling Hitler for over a year, since my first flight in an Me-262, that only Focke Wulf Fw-190 fighter production should continue in conventional aircraft, to discontinue the Me-109, which was outdated, and to focus on building a massive jet-fighter force. - Galland

Hi chaps.

As the ww2 kickstarter was ages ago and it seems some people have forgotten, remember if you backed the original kickstarter project to a level that gave aircraft rewards you can claim your Spit IX serial number through the backers rewards!

- To do so, go to the DCS main page. It can be accessed from the DCS forums by clicking on the DCS icon/banner in the top left of the screen. Alternatively use this link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/

- Log in with you DCS account details. This is not your DCS forum username and password but your actual DCS game account.

- Go to Profile (top right beside "logout")

- Under personal information on the left you should see "DCS WWII: Europe 1944 backers support" - click on it:

- You should now see a list of the rewards you are entitled. Request a serial number for any available aircraft e.g. the Spitfire IX. When the Spit is released we can use this serial number to activate the module.

You don't need to panic and rush to do this as it won’t expire on release, just thought I'd pop a reminder as it's been a while!

Obviously, like all DCS products this will work for those running DCS world downloaded from ED (i.e. not through Steam). If for whatever (mad) reason you still run the game through Steam and are intent on continuing this practice you will have problems either claiming your rewards or buying early access as Steam won’t accept ED issued product keys. ED recognise the other way around, so my personal advice is to run the game downloaded from ED and transfer any Steam bought licences and get the best of both worlds.

If you are having problems accessing your backer rewards, try contacting ED via the details in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=124949

(Yes, I'm pre-ordering it as well. Why not. Looks like a great "balance" to the 109 and 190). Woot!

I have a pile of tissues ready and I have even bought the Spit but I have not even played DCS! Shocking but true. Can someone please post to this thread and let me know how the Spit training is, flying her and if I need more tissues.

Ok, I made the bit about tissues up, it's toilet roll.
Cheers,

Paddy

Read the info on the new damage model and you'll advance to paper towels (rolls of 'em) as I already have oh sacred DSC.

I hope the flight model of VEAO Mk.XIV will match with Ed's Spit Mk.IX ...

As lovely as the Merlin Spitfires look, I think the Mk IX will struggle against the 109K-4 and 190 D-9; slower by 40 mph at 0-30k ft is a massive difference. However, the XIV that VEAO are working on is another beast altogether...
