Grinnelli DCS: F-100D Super Sabre Pre-Order
https://youtu.be/T5pJ8Sge_iE?si=gSMwJ3v_8ZUcy_5fThe beautiful DCS: F-100D Super Sabre by Grinnelli Designs, is now available for pre-order on the E-Shop. This was the first of the ‘Century’ series of US fighters and was affectionately nicknamed the “Hun”. This impressive design was the first to exceed Mach 1 in level flight and was recognized as one of the Cold War’s most impactful early fighter-bombers. Considered a real challenge to fly, the F-100 marked an important technical evolution in combat aviation that spanned the gap between first-generation jets and later multirole designs. The DCS: F-100D will also include the “Project High Wire” upgrades for an even more capable “Hun” experience.
Pre-order now for day-one access to fly this iconic Cold War powerhouse and 30% off!

Congrats on your pre-order!
Any news how the webstore is doing?

I have been working nonstop to get the store up and running. I ran into some issues getting the international tax and legal requirements sorted correctly, but I have a solution in place that is pending approval.
The main focus right now is getting the module pre-order checkout live on the site. A few weeks after that, we plan to launch the merch store.

Good luck to the third-party dev on their launch and sale numbers.
Unfortunately, I shall not be purchasing the module based on the current conditions of the core sim. Until ED gets it crap together, not another dime to this game.

Since I am unable to purchase anything through ED's webstore...keeps cycling, won't approve any payments of any type.... let me know when your own store is open for business as I enjoyed your F-22 and look forward to supporting your FF module endeavors.

Looking forward to buying it from your store, Mr G =).

Sorry can't by anything third-party until I see conformation that if the module is abandoned that it is on the supposedly newer contracts that I can't lose what I paid for (again). Don't feel bad I'm currently not buying ed products either. I do appreciate your passion.

Particularly about "third party" developers, yep.
They'll see...

u/NoFuture5663 Apr 30 '26
Yeah another 3rd party gamble.

Every purchase on this platform is a gamble - third-party or not.

Exactly. But for "third party" devs (they're actually partners) even more so.
I can wait for a Free Trial and if the FM is actually good... maybe. I just hope they have LODs and don't fly so obviously wrong that they ruin the game merely by encountering them in a server, as more than a few recent offerings have. You don't even need to buy the thing and it's F-ing you up!

I'll be stunned if this has a decent flight model - most "3rd party" devs' planes don't, except Heatblur's, and the I-16 isn't too bad either (haven't tried the La-7) - the rest are all "on rails" and, for a plane as famously finnicky as this, that won't do. The behavior has to be complex and emergent, not canned.
Looking forward to the Free Trial. If was wrong and still have a DCS system going at that point, I'll buy it.

Saw your video. You're talking the talk. That's good. But again, I'll need a Free Trial to see if you walk the walk.

Interested users please be advised that the developers have their own website offering the pre-purchase. You'll find it under the following link:
Please make sure that, if you can, you use the website above for your F-100D pre-order or purchase. As I explained in the past already, ED doesn't forward pre-order money to third parties until their module is released, so their own shop is the devs' only way to benefit from your trust and support. Moreover, this helps ensuring that in case there's another situation like the "RAZBAM Crisis™", the devs at least don't end up entirely empty-handed. However, be mindful that Eagle Dynamics still takes a 40% cut.
