DCS World 1.5 and 2 Discussion

[Rotorhead]

LOL

 

Try that in real life and "you would be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog $hit out of Hong kong!"

 

Wow what a ride...

:thumbup:

 

Yep. I thought the only place where you can see jets flying this low above highways is Russia. ;)

[rrohde]

I think I've watched that video about 10 times already. :shocking::notworthy::thumbsup:The map looks WWAAAYYYY better than I thought. You can even see lake mead out in the distance a couple times.

 

living here in Las Vegas, this is something I'm looking forward to more than any modules!!!!

 

The wait is destroying me mentally. But I'm all for bug squashing now, instead of 1+ years after it's released.

 

 

Yep... that wait is killing me, too. Come to think of it -- it's quite stunning how many meaningless Call of Duty games have been released since we're waiting on EDGE. :)

 

And the video... I am speechless. This is top notch modeling, from low alt to high alt. This is really the first time any simulated environment I saw "felt" real -- from taxiing all the way to cruising altitude. The visualization of the environment is totally believable, in every aspect. I guess I am out of words to describe this. :)

I gota say so far my favorite part of the new videos is the detail of the airbases. Datparkinglottho,Beautiful. Looking forward to some vids that include some effects; weapons, explosions and maybe a few ground units.

 

Edit: a few screenshots of ground units in the Q&A

That video is amazing! Great stuff ED. Even the taxi out at the start looked brilliant.

Totally agree :thumbup:

this video is simply amazing and the fact that lately we are having all such videos makes me think world 2.0 and nttr edge release date is getting closer.. can't wait!:pilotfly:

 

Please Matt release it as it is....:D

[mwd2]

In this last video, is this Nellis AFB?

[rrohde]

Please Matt release it as it is....:D

 

Yes, please do so, Matt. ED -- If you ever thought about a buy-your-way-into-an-alpha-release, I would pay for access right now. :music_whistling:

[rjetster1]

In this last video, is this Nellis AFB?

 

Yes

[cichlidfan]

In this last video, is this Nellis AFB?

 

Since it is described as going up highway 15, I would guess that he took off from Nellis.

[Raven68]

Yes, please do so, Matt. ED -- If you ever thought about a buy-your-way-into-an-alpha-release, I would pay for access right now. :music_whistling:

 

 

AGREED!!! I would pay double the A-10C beta price!! :D It does really look awesome!

[T_A]

Yes all nice, but would be a problem since they already said they wont sell early access.

[Python]

Any idea on how much HD space we're going to need for these maps? I have DCS on an SSD which is already almost full, I guess I'd best invest in another...

Wags-Matt: I can assure you that no one wants to release DCS World 2 to the world more than the Eagle Dynamics team. However, we see no point in doing so if there are blocking-level bugs that make it unplayable.

:cry:

:cry:

These "release it now, we dont care about bugs" responses are silly, this is a milestone in ED's time in the flight sim world, dont think for a minute they arent going to do their damn best to release a nice polished experience for NTTR.... can you imagine the uproar if it released after all this time with an obvious blocking issue?

No info yet on that.

DCS2 is great; marvellous video; fantastic flying of Matt, for sure; nice music also!! :thumbup:

 

edit: but: how could Matt manage that: looking back while flying with about topspeed under those high voltages wires?????????

i feel the pain, however a propitiator "dx11-dcsw2-tech-demo" would be great (due to the delay), even with those blocking-level bugs (even if that tech-demo crashes in every 10 minutes), even with/for the caucasus map only, because what we seen in the latest NTTR videos is more than promising and exciting: the sim runs very smooth, there are no visible bugs

 

so ED doesnt need to release DCSW2/NTTR now, they need to release a demo/preview only :)

No one really talking about these, I cant wait to play "Find the BMP" :D

I was really impressed with the NTTR F-15 video… took my breath away!

Already got some cool looking spots for some missions

This is a really good stuff definitely.

Very informaytive is the Q&A, thanks ED.

 

The video of the F15 is really good, the improvements are huge compared with what we have now, the last minutes are quite impressive and it seems to me that is quite a bit done¡¡¡¡

Also the interview is very interesting as it looks like that a lot of work is been done under the deck and it will come to the surface very soon, so really exited to see how far ED can go.

 

Personally I don´t care if we get DCS 2 next month or in two or three, whatever, what is more important for me is that when we get all this new features, they will work as designed.

And from what I read, it seems ED is taking good care of this.

[Slipp]

New F-5 model?

 

[leafer]

2015 the year of Combined Arms! YaaeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwooohOOOOOO!!!

Amen to that :thumbup:
