The material looks pretty similar to the images of EDGE ED has made public so far. I guess it´s a nice approximation / additional showcase of what we might expect short to medium term, but at the same time sad because we might not get all of this. Then again isn´t ED free to release maps from commercial products again for DCS since they own the rights? The only real obstacle is the secrecy concerning military matters, right? Love the videos - I need to start upgrading my PC again ^^ I think I can udnerstand why ED has kept the lid on this for so long - no telling what kind of speculation coupled with all the expectations this would have broken loose around here...

Thanks to RRG and ED for this insight into your work! I personally think this is the best video you have released so far, showing the people and their work in a more direct and up close personal way. Apart from the current DCS: WWII project it is great to see people talk about their projects and individual motivations. :thumbup: I´m by far no expert on software development, but if EDGE is in testing stage as they say, could that mean that it is undergoing last steps (debugging) before being introduced as a (public) beta? Especially if it is true that EDGE is already at Version 4 and that there have been previous working installations in commercial products.

Same here. Steam offers no added funtionality or convenience to DCS as far as I´m concerned. DCS is just fine like this. It would be interesting though to have some statistical data about how many play DCS and when once it´s being tracked properly.

Oh, is it coming out so soon? :music_whistling::D

Some more random SP & MP screenies: Just loving it: (Approaching Senaki from the north east) (Low level flying over tree tops south west of Senaki) The most epic pathfinding ever:

I liked those fluffy clouds. Great to see it´s coming along. Can´t wait...

If the pit of the Su-25T which is F2P-content will be updated, I´m guessing they will be hard at work updating the others which are not F2P, can then be sold separately and will serve to make the FC-brand obsolete. The work they have presented so far visually is absolutely stunning.

DCS needs more RPG elements.

Well, then it would really be a waste of that money. Things are bound to get better. This has happened before and was resolved for the most part. In case they don´t you can always revisit the idea. ;)

It´s high time they get EDGE done...

I think it´s always been like that. All aircraft cast (planar) shadows on the ground and landscape while only the active/observed aircraft will cast shadows on itself and other 3D objects or so... I very much hope that willchange with EDGE as well as the lack of self shading from cockpit view. ;)

At the current point I´d say that´s not even speculation anymore. Eventually we will have stuff like this in DCS. Just look back to BS1 and the release of the A-10C compared to what we have now - who would have guessed?! :) All it takes is (a lot of) time.

Yeah, for years there has been exactly one type of (dynamic) clouds in DCS...

Ok, it was around mid day / afternoon in autumn. I never noticed that difference before.

Ah, there it is. I will try this out right away. Thanks! EDIT: First impression is that I think they are probably a little too dark...? Looking down from above should be white rather than grey.

It most certainly will. ;)

I installed the mod according to your instructions and it gave me weird problems. DCS wouldn´t really crash, but got hung up repeatedly during loading until I Alt+Tab back to the desktop. Loading times were incredibly long. I also use FC3.

Restating all the info here in a new thread would be quite redundant, so there´s a sticky thread with most of the relevant info probably buried in there somwhere. ;) http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80468 It seems that there is going to be another map beside Nevada somewhere down the road - a map on/around Corse of yet unknown size. What´s also interesting is that in the Kickstarter video of DCS WWII Europe 1944 ED officially states a number of 20 new releases in the next 18 months, so there´s that... ^^

Very good idea. Subtle, but very nice improvement. :thumbup:

Did the overhead windows in the UH-H have those subtle scratches that come out in sunlight before 1.2.6?

Oh boy, I think I´m gonna faint. Wish there were at least higher-res images, but the screenshots already look very promising.

Yup...

That´s enough for me. Nice

Is the whole revamped-lights-project going to be complete in "a few days"? :music_whistling:

Didn´t expect that so soon... Anyway, great!
