Those screens look amazing! Actually a few months ago I noticed there were folders for the ready room. I was not saying that ED hasn't been working on the module, simply that the SC community is hungry for updates I understand the balance that BIGNEWY was talking about, but I think an update or some more news from time to time would make the wait easier. This is pure speculation on my side and I'm not saying I think this.... but maybe the delay of Top Gun Maverick is also delaying development or release of updates of this module, since that movie is going to boost interest in naval aviation and sales of the supercarrier, so ED is holding new features until then

Even if stuff is not ready for release, at lease show some progress in the newsletter, so that we Supercarrier fans don't feel abandoned

We got the new clouds earlier this year and I'm guessing that later in the year we will get a second environmental update with the new fog and water effects as shown in the Marianas videos. Maybe even thunderstorms... Anyway, this is just speculation on my side, but I think we will get the new fog and other effects later this year, not individually in small updates, but in a big update like when we got the clouds.

Are there any updates coming soon for the supercarrier, even as some info in the Newsletter? Lately there are only news about the Mossie and the Apache and it's been months since the last update on new features for our beloved boat...

I think there are several updates to weather coming soon. If you see the Marianas trailier there is rain, fog and new water render with more details. Must be coming very soon.

Yes, I can confirm it. Just tested the patch after finally downloading the Marianas map and the new water effects are still not included. We will have to wait a bit more... (I think the tralier also features the upcoming new fog effects compatible with the 2.7 clouds)

Thanks! I saw it now However it seems the cool water effects from the video are still not in this version....

I can't see the map. got a 700mb update on Steam, but no Marianas

That's the thing that I'm expecting with more anticipation, since I fly most of the time over water. We will find out soon...

If you look at the latest videos Matt has been posting and yesterday's sale trailer you will see that changes are coming to water rendering. This one is particularly revealing. I think the new water will come with the Marianas and the new fog...

Sorry, I can't post any screenshots ATM, but just did a quick test and based on my memories from flying on wednesday, they look as good s then.

I'll try it later today, but I'm going to buy a module to say thanks to the Team just in case :))

I'm okay with that. Now you can trade cloud quality with other factors to get your fps, where before it was not an option.

Can't wait to try ULTRA clouds in VR later today!!! Thanks for this ED!!

I created a thread about that particular question At some point BN said that the issue has been reported to the team, but so far no word about if it's been worked or not. I'm 100% possitive the cloud jitter issue is going to be fixed soon as stated many times by the team, but the issue of scalable quality settings to get the same detail in VR as in 2D (even at the price of lower fps), remains a bit of a mystery... maybe it's roots are in the jitter issue and both will be fixed together...

From today's newsletter: "The Clouds jitter effects in VR are being worked on and will be fixed soon, we are not there yet but we feel confident in early tests that good progress has been made. Work on the fog is very promising and this is the next step in enhancing our dynamic weather engine. Check out the screenshots below." Great news! at least now we know that the fix should be coming soon, thanks for the update!

I think today we might get some kind of report on the progress of the cloud jitter/lack of detail in VR. I saw there is going to be a screenshot of the new fog for 2.7 (currently fog is incompatible with the new clouds) , so probably they will mention what's the status of the fixes for clouds as well. Other than that the patch is amazing, from a Hornet guy's perspective like me

Oh... I was kind of optimistic with this one. I really hope it's not an issue that is built in the foundations of the cloud tech...

They have stated that dynamic weather and more control is coming later after the initial implementation of new presets in 2.7.

No, that setting is for the VR screen that is shown on your monitor while you use your headset.

Yeah, definitely on the mirrors clouds have more local contrast and volume than outside. It's not only they look more detailed (one might think the reason of that is that they are rendered in a smaller surface and so they look more detailed), they also have more occlusion and internal volume than ouside the mirrors and look less over exposed.

That's exactly right. I'm fully aware that overall in VR these days it's hard to get the same quality that you can get in 2D. The point of this thread was simply to notify as a bug that quality options in the settings menu don't have any effect in VR, so you can't adjust them accordingly with your hardware at the moment.

From the latest newsletter, it's very encouraging: "DCS World 2.7 Open Beta is now running at full power and feedback is coming in fast from the community. Thank you all for helping us with bug reports and suggestions, it is highly appreciated. We are currently also working to improve clouds, water and wave issues and enhance certain terrain features before moving 2.7 to Stable. "

I hope it's solved sooner than that, after all in the patch notes they stated that it's a priority issue to be fixed

Not really, I understand what you say, but there is an issue with detail levels of clouds in VR. Changing settings from LOW to ULTRA in VR has no result and clouds look identical in both cases.
