Didn't they completely redo the cockpits for Ka-50 and A-10C? How would this texture even work with the new model/UV maps of the new cockpits?

I've been waiting for a rework to the Ka-50 ever since the new detailed Caucasus map was released. Can't wait to do the campaign again! Even more, I wonder if they'll make a new campaign for the updated craft??!

I was just wondering if ED plans on adding any kind of ground clutter (rocks, grass, bushes) with procedural generation not unlike the grass with the new Caucasus map. I thought I remember seeing a vast amount of rocks and boulders in one of Waggs' early videos, but I could be wrong, or it could have been dropped due to performance reasons.

Great stuff.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I'll start looking! :joystick:

I know this is really late but thanks for this review. I've been eyeing this campaign recently as I've been looking to get into the shark again after a few years. I was hoping for a paid campaign like this it would be a lot better than the default campaigns, but it seems that just isn't so. Since this review, has anyone played or found a good campaign for the shark? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I do love my 2500k and it has served me well thus far. I think more than DCS, it's X-Plane 10/11 that is really pushing me to upgrade my CPU. But I've read such great things about the new skylake CPUs that I think I've already made up my mind ;) If I can afford a 1070 or 1080 that would be icing on the cake.

No problem. Hey unrelated, how are you liking the i7 6700k? I'm still on a sandy bridge i5 and have been debating whether or not to upgrade.

Clouds vid: He goes through the clouds at 5:45 L-39 "rain effect" vid: Skip to about 2m40s

I'm curious as to why this was moved to wishlist area when what you asked about was already seen in videos that Matt Wagner made. The new clouds were shown in an early NTTR video and the new rain effect was shown in 1.5 with the L-39 I believe.

I'd love some solid ambient occlusion. I personally think that is the very best way to make 3d objects look like they belong in a scene. I render a lot of 3d stuff for work, and I always hate my test renders before I do the ambient occlusion pass. Also, is DCS getting "PBR" with all these engine updates? Can't wait for 2.5!

Just one of many reasons I don't buy early access games/modules from any developer I don't already know or trust. Why take the chance? Wait till release, or AT LEAST a feature complete product, before you decide if it's worth it or not. :thumbup:

+1

Snoopy, I just love that people who work around the real life aircraft, appreciate DCS for it's fidelity and depth. Have you ever shown any of your squad members the sim? What have they said about it?
