Don't know if this has been already discussed but let's go: Is DCS World compatible with Windows 8? Normaly it should be. Does anyone ever tried? (with consumer preview) And secondary, do you find changes, improvements in FPS, stability,... ?

Since the first landing, I've never achieved to do a correct one. I always 'bounce' on the runway 2 or 3 times before actually landing. Next time, I'll try to do it 'VVI style' instead of speed.

Great new. Bu, stupid question: what DTAC acronym stands for? Good luck

Agree, but there is much work to do up to synchronize the calculations done between the AI, Gfx, sound, inputs,... There is also a huge pan of code to rework (I'm not dev but I assume the DCS core code was develloped with the antique Lomac code as basis. And I guess it was not intended to be multicore). Anyway, things are going slow (consumer point of view) but in the good direction. Sure, there is a gap between x-plane promo pic shown above and DCS Gfx but the main goal of the sim is to simulate the aircrafts at there best, and eventually to render them well. But things are not that bad, just look in the 'DCS photos / printscreen' thread and you can admire some beautifully rendered aircrafts, with reflexion, sun glare,... But that's right, by night, lighting is a pain...

Actually, the ability to drive an UAZ in DCS A-10c was an easter, not a feature... And, errr, Nevada map was really not ready for release. The developpement of Nevada map is much more complicated since ED is developping a new terrain / gfx engine for it (ED Minsk). So, if you're not interested in, you're not forced to buy. DCS: CA does not interest me, I'll not buy it. It's my decision and I don't complain about this release. Because it's a very good idea, pushing the borders of the game and much people are interested in. But, maybe the reason you're complaining today is that you are actually also interested... But not already aware of it. (Oh, not forget the smiley... :music_whistling: ) (And do you know many games sold at 30$ at this time, when AAA game like the 'Call of' series are sold 60$ for 6 to 8 hours solo gaming?) (Again, :music_whistling::music_whistling::music_whistling: ) Have a nice day. And thank you ED for your work and dedication, even if I would prefer to see the release of Nevada / Edge. There is time for things. I'm patient and I'm sure the day will come...

You're so pessimistic guys! A day, in a near future, we'll get auto-patcher, as true as we'll get EDGE and DCS Modern Jet... ;-)

Is that always valid with the new engine?

:thumbup: What I see is beautiful and it seems to run fast. See the screenshots, upper left corner: between 76 and 114 FPS. Ok, let's see the figures with an higher altitude (greater distance of view), AI (CPU charge),... But I increasingly feel the need. Hope this is for 2012. Oh, and thanks, Wags for the update.

Agreed

Yeap, 15 years old wiskey too. Start pressing cereals now. Come back in 15 years...:smilewink: Edit: since I'm here, can EDGE tester/dev say something about performances of the new engine without breaking NDA?

Looking at various youtube vids, I noticed there is something 'lacking' for russian aircrafts: the smoke out of the burners. Really, have you seen a Mig29 or Su-27/33 taking off? It's smoking like a coal driven power station...

The only way to have ultra realistic reflexions is raytracing but it's a very demanding technique. BTW, I think the focus should remain on FM and AI more than 'eye candy'. But yes, it's always nice to see improvement in that domain. My hopes are going to 'EDGE' and I'm curious to see if the new gfx engine could handle the multiprocessing... That could open possibilities.

Every french speaker knows that an if is a tree' :) :smilewink: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_(genre) And I'm a bit confused, I was wondering a secret sreenshot of Area 51 coming at page 51 but... Nothing. Bah, that my 'naughty' imagination. So, a bit more seriously concerning the performances, does anyone of the team can (or not) give a 'bench' of performance between EDGE and old terrain engine? (OK, guess that'll never happen but I can try...)

Thanks, so I wait...

I'm 'autoquoting' because this question was... Ignored? Or just skipped after a page. Sorry to insist but are those informations already available? If not answered, I'll just wait and see. Thanks anyway.

I've been looking around for news and updates but I can't find many information... My question is: What differences will be between FC2 and FC3 (in appart of DCSW integration)? I already have FC2, what changes between the 2 softs can convice me to invest in FC3?

I had a X-52 (non pro) and I was very satisfied (during 4 or 5 years).

Ah, OK. Anyway, there is still a will to add aircrafts in the 'World'. And this could greatly improve the construction of missions (Imagine an escort mission of B-17 by P-51d to a destination, then Me-109 or FW-190 come to intercept...)

Is that why we should 'center the ball?' :lol: (I was thinking about a joke based on 'call the ball' but that's for another time...):pilotfly:

Thanks for the answer. Good work and courage for the following ;-)

Off topic but... I remember when I was playing Falcon 4, years ago, I used to browse an other forum. Approximately 1 or 2 times per week, somebody came and asked the same question over and over again: 'What is the NWS key?' At a time, there was a sticky thread, titled 'Nose Wheel Steering key!', Only one post: [sHIFT-/] (size 20 and bold).

WTF? Is that a mod in preparation? http://riseofflight.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=27408&start=20 Just three comments: clouds looks strange, not DCS style. The B-17 texture looks blurry or 'inaccurate'. And look at the FRAPS number up right: '4'. Very low, hum?!

Where the %µ:,;)$* have I put my LOMAC disk??? => DCS: 'Archeology' inbound :lol:

Remember ED plan to build DCS: 'Modern railroad' as well... :music_whistling: http://http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86653 :lol:
