I have high hopes - long time coming - a very long time - nice ED. But.......................... it's 2021 - we've been on the hype train before. Manage your expectations troops.

Old friend here of this bird......................... top work as ever Devrim. Crikey, I remember when you appeared on the scene here. Thank you.

25 gb update - jesus - no wonder i stopped.

How?

Awesome - great to see you guys going from strength to strength!!

Lesson in fair marketing ED. Don't offer a loyalty reward system and allow your customer base to accrue, only to cancel it and not allow any forward worth. It is unfair and your customer base deserves far......far better - for loyalty alone. Thanks.

it has been reported yes, in multiple forum threads. Hopefully someone from ED will see it , but.................. a bug report is the way forward for this. Same for me btw. here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=222553 and here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=222098

same!

Eagle Dynamics is an International business with a conglomerate of Influences from The Fighter Collection. Their Business Strategy is their own with this particular piece of the market being fairly small in comparison. To suggest or even imply that we should somehow canvass view, influence or bully Devs and EDs Business Strategy into meeting our 'deamnds', is not only laughable, it's downright insulting. If I haven't read it myself, I would have called bull on the idea.

Seems to me like DCS world with a few bundled aircraft and terrains - aka 'Modern Air Combat'. Where is the confusion?

Any official quote / response from ED regarding frame rate issues?

Sadly, I have to agree with the OP. Whilst I'm certainly not as much on the scene since the days of the 74th, I still enjoy to fly DCS every now n then with former members who like me, prefer the quiet corner - hell why not, I have thousands of pounds invested in hardware and modules and DCS is never going to be pipped...........well......................not quite yet in my view. But, it has to be said, that it is the time for ED to respond to the very valid points raised by the community (ultimately EDs clients - it is a long term relationship and constantly developing), regarding deferred shading, poor VR and low FPS. I have an i7 7700k, 32GB DDR4@3000mhz (not that it makes 'any' difference in my view) and a GTX 1080, it is 'unfair' to say that it runs like a dawg. As for VR? nope...............nope...............nope. It seems that perhaps, the deferred shading problem we are all suffering with may be down to just the map - ie, caucasus?? It seems that Wags has no such framerate issues on his videos, when flying the Persian gulf?? What I do know is that pre-purchse for a map or a module that up until now, will be pushed out on the current graphics framework which is clearly 'broken', is a little disappointing. But...............we may be presently surprised? A word from ED themselves, instead of posts being slamdunked by the notorious ED forum methodologies, may go some way to re-engage those watching from the wings, those lightly disappointed and those that have just 'had enough'. Time is a commodity nowadays. Hell you can buy time off work so it literally is a commodity - of sorts. The amount of time spent finetuning, tweaking, searching forum posts for answers and tips on system performance is out of parity to the enjoyment felt when you actually get to fly. Imagine at that point, that the best you can pump out with a home PC that's akin to a mini power plant with the computing power that trumps every game on the market, only 40 fps and no VR? I'm not dissing DCS here, or ED, or anyone to be frank, but I am saying where we are now, considering our long journey (for me since 2005) is disappointing and 'unfair'. Is it ok to say 'unfair' nowadays without looking for a special corner? Regular updates are great, the concept of the content is wonderful, the graphics work is sublime, DCS 'IS' the best there is, but one has to wonder how on every update so much is broken and that exponential bugs are not quashed before release. Almost a 'cottage industry' of patch releases............ 'Fix - Build - Grow'. Now if only.............................

the update streams with open alpha and open betas are too complex ED. 2.5 is now released, yet it is not clear, even after forum diving, if this is the RC and if the current open beta will update itself and become the RC. with the current install path for open beta including 'open beta' in the install directory, i doubt it. Great product as always and, i fully support although a little quieter nowadays but, this really needs addressing. Please....................be clear.

Man....................Gosp! no words.....................

Can't wait to do another comparator video with this Chris.

Mustangs in my view

Just a point of accuracy - Starways was donateware. Mustang's was not.

Yep, all understood - just a view you understand. Personally, I think Mustangs is right up there from my own 'delving', but good job on your own. Good to see you too - I pop in every now n then but life man......hell RL is super busy. Wishing you well now

Starways is donateware. Credit has been made - all good. Like I said, just my view.

Agreed. Doesn't make it right though does it? or does it? Undoubtedly, as i know Myth, he would have gained a form of agreed use or 'permission' per sae from the originators of the terrain mods. Especially when you consider that one of them is donateware. just my view. Don't mean nuthin by it. 'T'
