Great info about the update and tracking of updated files procedure. I personally owe you a beer or a vodka or whatever you drink. THANK YOU! This info should be in a sticky somewhere in my opinion. Cheers!

:shocking:

Please ED, update the map with the new engine and expand it to include some airports from north Turkey in order to have some proper NATO operations... :cry:

Depends on his graphics settings. My current system is ''heavily tuned'' to run DCS and I am only getting 1.5/4 deduction in fps when turning mirrors on. I run DCS on a laptop motherboard that I repaired after customer refused to pay for the repair and left it for spares :). i5 420M cpu, GT420M graphics chip and 4Gb ram. overclocked gpu to 643Mhz from 500Mhz and vram to 973Mhz from 800 plus heavily optimized windows. External 24'' monitor and DCS settings: I get 25-30 fps average. With mirrors on average fps drops to 15-17.

Most of the public servers if not all, are either ''airquakes'' or ''the same tank, at the same spot'' all the time, until you are board and never come back. I am sorry but this is the current situation of public servers at the moment. ATC? :megalol:

Will there be any ''wet runway'' graphic effects during or after rain with the new EDGE engine?

I am well aware of programs saving crap constantly in the : C:\Users\usename\AppData\Local\Temp. I am also aware of C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS folder C:\...\saved games\ is not a temp folder. Any software that wants to write in there anything other than their config files, like saves and autosaves, will give you atleast the option to not let them save anything more than their config files. (disable autosave) from inside the game. This option is already there in SP. It lets you decide whether to save the .trk or not after you exit a mission.

This is a problem not only for servers but also for client PCs. I already have around 20Gb of MP .trks recorded on my harddrive without my permission. All other software that uses this folder to save ''something'' automatically, (autosaves), gives me at least the option to disable this feature and ''save'' whenever I want. So either try to fix this issue please or add a line to the minimum PC specs of DCS world: Minimum hard drive free space for MP: ''unlimited''.

Great thread, it already went in my favorites for later study. It had to be a sticky in my opinion. Thanks for the heads up. EDIT: I was just kidding guys. OK I accept that I hate software in general ( Im an electronics engineer) and the highest level programing language that I understand, is C ansi, and only for microcontrollers :D But because I love my hobby I will definitely learn and try to produce something good for all of us hobbyists :) by the way, I love your 25UB :)

:( Now you made me feel like I am in a PHD conference while I only finished the high school :D I understand that with the use of scripts, a talented individual could build a ''more than perfect'' dynamic campaign. But you really need to become a script programer to accomplish that. i just wished for a simple button and maybe a slider (for radius) integrated in the mission editor :smilewink:

A trigger or an option in the mission editor that will automatically produce a waypoint or a radio call with coordinates towards the downed pilot which can be used from SAR assigned helis. Very immersive for MP and also for SP. Not pinpoint coordinates or waypoints , but an approximation. And when you enter lets say a 300m radius from the downed pilot, an automatic smoke flare ignites..then you go peek him up and return him to airbase and add him back to the airbase supply inventory. (pilots availability in the supply inventory should be added aswell) And then I wake up :cry: Sorry for my bud english, I hope you understand what i mean in general.. :huh:

Take it easy with the smoke guys, there is not enough for everyone... :D I agree with you but this is really a thread for something else. Smoke effect is a step forward and as GGtharos said, it may or may not (in my opinion it needs) need some additional tuning. What I would like to ask is if there is any .lua file which contains the opacity values of smoke for each plane that we can ''play'' with. be safe :smilewink:

That is scary..:sad_2:

What is the new 2.4MB update after 1.2.7 update for? What is the new 2.4MB update after 1.2.7 update for?

In my poor opinion, this ''EDGE'' technology had to be done before the production of individual modules. Like my grandpa said, first you build the ''nice'' house and then you buy the big TV. With all respect. EDIT: Your answer should be at the headline of DCS World advertisements...

How can EDGE technology be free to DCS World if we do not buy the new terrain?

For me, A10c and Ka50 are the best study and over all ''air to ground'' sims. FC3 is not a study sim but it is one of the best ''air combat'' sims. It gives you the opportunity to simulate air to air combat with low systems fidelity. And except from the modern fighters, it also gives you 2 nice CAS planes to A-G with, without having to finish a ''combat pilot university'' first.

:doh: I thought it before, but i did not feel like experimenting and losing time to instal everything from the beginning:D offtopic, I was formatting and installing win98 from scratch at least 3 times a day when i was messing with falcon4 superpack1 when it first came out...but now I am board even to apply a ghost image:D Thank for the help:thumbup:

Cheers mate! :thumbup:

As title says, can we uninstall lock on after 127 update? or is there another procedure that we need to follow? :confused:

When instead of turning your headlights on at night, you roll down your window and ask the ground crew to give you your NVGs :megalol:

It is complicated...especially when we speak among fellow harcore simers.

Please dnt start this... it may backfire..:smilewink: Any way, from what I read, this thread is turning from a ''what we can expect'' to ''WHY its going to be like this'' Like we have it and we know what we are talking about... I mean cmon, we only have acouple of screenshots, and we already started to criticize and compare...:doh:

Because last night ( and many other times ) when I was flying, I went low to avoid some AAA and I flew for 20 or more second through a nice forest like I was a ghost or something and not only that but the superhuman AAA ai was shooting at me like I was sitting on a chair right next to them..Also because I drove an abrams, full speed, through a tree forest without losing any speed (is this possible?) plus receiving fire from all directions like I was a fly into a cup of milk. That is why.

Excellent work The_Flagger! off topic.. As an electrician you should know that Hertz is actually the definition of ''cycles per second''. We ''electricians''use the name Hertz instead of ''cycles per second'' because of Heinrich Hertz, a great German physicist who was the first that actually proved in practice the existence of electromagnetic waves. ''Megacycles'' word, was, and maybe even today, is used when a radio station advertises its frequency.
