oh well.... I guess I have to wait for the release on steam. No worries. I don't mind buying them at full price. Will be worth the hours and hours of entertainment it will provide. :) Been waiting on 1.5 for buying the Mig 15 as well. So got to be prepared for a big DCS purchase. ;) Just excited that it is finally almost here. :D Can't wait to check out that new eye candy. First thing I am doing is dropping a CBU 87. :p

That is a fantastic video. Nice touch showing the cockpit in the correct camera view that we are familiar with in the sim. It shows how much attention leatherneck has put in to model this amazing aircraft. :D thanks for sharing.

maybe new effects? weather? that would make me super happy. :D

Fantastic vid. Great trip down memory lane indeed. I remember only having played Janes IAF in my grade 8. I remember playing a demo in india included on one of the magazines for flanker 2. Then...completely forgot about it until I found flanker 2.5 another two years later while trying to buy a game for my Bday at a games store. Bought it right away. Couldn't handle it too well on a Pentium 3 with S3 graphics 64MB. Then moved to canada and got to play flanker 2.5 relatively better on a Pentium 4 and Geforce Ti 4200. Next year realized that LOMAC was in development and since then followed ED and their products along. I still want to re-create that old school first LOMAC trailer in DCS 2 engine. Would be fantastic to do a side by side of that. :D

lol...just watched office space recently. nice!!

YAY!! Bring it on. Looking forward to it. Will buy it with the L-39. :D

Haha! That would be awesome. But unlikely though...unless they model a power grid system.. ---- Fantastic to see the new water. Thanks for showing it and clarifying it Wags. :) --- Q for next time:: Wags.... are the trains now editable objects? Can they be manually placed and scheduled as mission objects that can be destroyed as part of missions? As object transport etc??

Thanks for posting. Man!! When I saw the Kh25 missile with its dual smoke outputs....I was stunned. That smoke looks damn good. :D

Looking forward to seeing how the black sea map looks now. :) Very excited. I am hoping we can see some of the clouds. Also, can you please go down low to the water and show us how it looks? Is it a flat plane of animated water? or do we get that "experimental water" that was tried a while back which had 3D waves, foam etc? Or is this still WIP?

How will the buildings in the new map work in terms of damage model??? Can u place objects in building...let's say an igla...then can u basically bomb it ...damaging the building...and then once it gets damaged...will it slowly crumble with the current fixed animation?? Or will it break into pieces. Will the unit falling from that height kill the igla?

Feedback for live stream Awesome stream. Looking forward to seeing the A-10C next time with some attack runs...using cbu 97s , gun and Mavericks?? :) hopefully once the fx are done. :)

OMG! I can't get over how freaking fantastic the missile exhaust/smoke looks/animates. Watch at 26:45 for the last stream./// the bellowing smoke...the way it shapes...the way it appears to disperse is just freaking brilliant. wow!!! You do take ur own time ED...but damn u do one hell of a fantastic job. Can't wait to see how the weather engine/graphics further develop. I know explosion/smoke fx are still wip. Here's hoping ED's fantastic team puts in similar attention to detail for wind/velocity effects on aircraft/object trajectory/direction. Looking forward to seeing more on this end for the upcoming streams. Is this something under consideration?

Got to keep in mind that some of that stuff may be experiments that may or may not ever see the public release. If I recall correctly, the mustang was being worked on by ED way before DCS 1 was even released (according to Dima's AFM video during the WWII kickstarter series)... so whether or not it will be finished anytime soon is anyone's guess. But yes...the F-15 was already mentioned to being considered as a full fidelity module.. My interest is in knowing how will they differentiate the FC3 version to the DCS version (if and when it happens) for multiplayer etc.

Can we also perhaps get a view of how the depth of field/heat haze/blur/lens flare+dust effects will work? Thank u so much for leaving it as an option for graphicophiles like myself. I know purists may despise them. But I am glad these are being considered for the mainstream graphics appeal.

damn! missed it. Please enable it to be available as a past broadcast. Would be awesome to see it if u can't make it during the stream time.

I am just pleased that we "may" get Su-33 PFM relatively soonish. It's really hard to fly with canned sSFM when the jet itself is so beautiful inside and out.

oh wait,,,, did Wags just announce Su-33 PFM? and Mig 29 update with PFM.. OMG!!! Damn!! Thats it... I have to hibernate DCS till 2.0 and those updates now. I can't deal with the Su33 dipping into the deck on the Kuznetsov after reading this. :) But hey... great update though. A lot of fantastic new features. Only disappointment is the wait. I guess now it is at a really "Its done when its done". Fair enough...lets just hope its soon. :)

This was my first flight sim. :p also this at the same time. a lot easier than flanker though

Keep in mind that apparently almost 90% of DCS players (myself included) just play solo. So, fragmentation isn't an issue. Not to mention, its crazy to demand everything for free. It takes a lot of work to make something like this...and it deserves to be paid content. DCSworld free will still have the current terrain with EDGE for free. Not to mention, ED's history with frequent and huge sales, it is unreasonable to demand them to give everything away for free. If you don't want to pay what it costs (when it is actually revealed), wait for a sale or something. But, don't demand them to give stuff away just because you don't want to spend $40. Btw..regarding comparison to FSX.... look at the number of terrain paid mods for FSX. A lot of them are in the $40 range. That just includes a certain region/city with its airports at ultra high details.

I think $49.99 is more likely and more reasonable for the work involved. But we will know when it's out.

Since we are still waiting for EDGE, my PC is currently being worked with Witcher 3. Spectacular game. Its insane on how much attention to detail was given for this game. And it runs beautifully at 1080p with everything maxed...a true treat to the eyes.

Hard to say. Don't get me wrong...I am waiting just for the release of 2.0. Stopped playing DCS until then...lol... refuse to play it having seen how amazing 2.0 looks. But, time has shown again and again that ED will not release anything early...so be prepared for a delay if they don't feel 100% confident.

did u try running driver install in admin mode? Right click run as administrator

man! I love those flares. They look amazing. not to mention the nice looking smooth smoke .... finally coming to DCS 2 :D :thumbup:

I don't think we are getting collisions with trees for old map. Only new maps have that possibility. Most of the trees in the current map are a single forest model...so that means its hard to make a collision model for the forests of trees without doing a sloppy job...not to mention AI is unable to navigate through them effectively.
