Dav IRL

+1 Now you are talking, that would be a great solution and make a massive difference to low and slow flight over forests.

The installer didn't find my 2.2 files (Nevada and Normandy) in particular on my SSD and downloaded them in full again, my advise is to read a nice book and sit back and relax, while we are playing thinking of you frustrated.

Well I agree with you however for the sake of the effort I now have one unified install and it's fresh and done and ready to roll.

Thanks ED, the satisfaction I felt in wiping Alpha off the computer.

I have Alpha with Normandy and Nevada however I couldn't wait so I followed these steps. Downloaded 1.5.8 stable Using Skatezilla's utility software I updated to latest beta (2.5) Booted up 2.5 and downloaded all modules including terrains Copied my missions and controls successfully in saved games folder under users/saved GAMES/DCS Alpha/Input and missions Wiped Alpha Now I am copying the entire install 100 gigs onto my SSD In 30 minutes will take off from Batumi airport

I can confirm that without DS on in the Alha the explosion effects were not there which I think is unfair. I wonder if it is the same in 2.5.

It is pretty but iwithout MSAA it looks off.

To be honest I am not a fan of deferred shading versus smoother gameplay and visuals.

I downloaded 1.5 stable and using Skatezilla's utility program hit 'update to latest beta' and boom i woke up tis morning to 2.5. I was on 2.2.

Lol, and so it begins! :lol:

Would appreciate an update too, I fired her up yesterday and have no idea what has been updated and what I need to study, thank you.

I would have assumed that ED's dimensions are spot on, correct me if I am wrong.

No, The 'h' variant is for day time only the 'd' is for night.

I am sorry OP but most people who play DCS did so for combat roles in relatively modern aircraft.

Wags said 2.2 was a sample of what's to come in 2.5 so I have no doubt and it would make perfect sense to go from 2.2 to 2.5, that's my unofficial opinion.

I can't believe I was so into flying the harrier in 2.2 and mapping controls that I still haven't blown anything up and witnessed the new explosions. Thanks ED for your continued quality.

Whatever it is, it has been there since day one of Black Shark and seriously needs to be fixed.

I agree with all posters reading effects, they add so much immersion, can't be overlooked!

The one thing I notice in your setup is 2gigs of VRAM, which is very little, I play in VR in 2.1 and use 7 gigs. Half the refresh rate and play at 30 fps in 2.1, that's the only solution really. 2.1 EATS VRAM so at some point you may have to save up for a better GPU, there is no other way around it.

I don't mind waiting another four years but I am happy that it is coming sooner then expected :)

I need a nappy after seeing these screenshots.

+1 In VR everything is 3 dimensional, you just can't beat that, so immersive. Get the Rift you will be blown away. Ok its not as crisp but spotting targets is hard in 2D or 3D, so there is very little drawbacks, in fact there are way more positives. 3 Dimensional cockpits & units, one to one tracking, no more bending around the cockpit in Track IR, feeling like you are inside the cockpit and not looking at it, the list goes on.

I can define it for you, there is patience and then there is 'patience', the latter being the true meaning of the word.

Will the carrier be available in November when its released?

Then sales will drop I would imagine, I doubt we will see that kind of price hike.
