In this video, today we have a look at McCarran International Airport. This video was recorded using pre-alpha builds of DCS World 2 and the NTTR map. As such, this may not represent the final products. As the ever present "when" question... we estimate between March and June. !!! i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Suchacz Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I imagine that is for the Alpha release, to A-10C beta purchasers, only. DCS 2 open alpha will be free and accessible for everyone, NTTR should come with it free for A-10C beta purchasers and everybody else should be able to buy it for unspecified amount of $$$ Per aspera ad astra!

As to the when questions: we are projecting sometime between March and June 2015 based on the current blocking bugs. We realize that this is taking a very long time, but building a new graphics engine from the ground up is a massive task, but we think that you are starting to see the the time and effort has been worth it.

T_A Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Whats the fuss all about , there is nothing new in the time-frame here , they said they were aiming for public alpha first half of 2015 that means, if not this month then sometime in March till June, so if anything they are still on schedule set in the Mudspike interview last month. People need to relax. p.s after that thread someone opened in bug report section about stuff in Waggs`s video not being exactly 1-1 to RL then i get why they delay this.

TIMBER SOUR Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 What's wrong with pointing out errors in a forum that's dedicated to...pointing out errors? Why wait until things are set in stone before pointing out an error? Why not say something early while it's more easily dealt with? Why the need to bash anyone and everyone who is anything other than mesmerized by what they see? It's entirely possible to love something, but still want it to be better. Sometimes its just as easy to model something correctly as it is to do incorrectly, if only the developer is made aware of the error.
upupandaway Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Oh you negative nancy's.... From Wag's YouTube account... Is it negativity or the fact that every estimate up to this point has proven to be wrong? I don´t mean to bicker or complain, but that´s the way it is. To end on a different note - in the latest video, I really love how low-level flying looks and the immense amount of detail that has been put into 3D models. EDGE is only showing half of it´s potential in a barren landscape like NTTR or the Strait of Hormuz. I´m really dying to see how EDGE will render more temperate zones with green forests and rolling hills such as you would find on a channel map for example. The promo videos for commercial products featuring earlier versions of EDGE were quite impressive. Edited February 15, 2015 by upupandaway [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!

Sometimes its just as easy to model something correctly as it is to do incorrectly, if only the developer is made aware of the error. Because there will be a long Alpha period I am sure, nothing is "set in stone" and the video likely contains a few errors, many of which are already known. You cant judge or do any sort of true bug reporting based off a video... you will have plenty of chances to do that with the alpha release.

rrohde Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Stunning video. We've seen a lot of good detail so far, and the amazing scalability of EDGE, from ground level all the way to high altitudes, with super smooth transitions. The only thing we haven't seen are special effects and convective weather. I am out of words that could describe how much I am looking forward to DCS 2.0! :) EDIT: The March - June time frame allows me to save up on a second video card for SLI and another 32GB of RAM.

Flagrum Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 What I'd like to know is, will there be substancial updates/bugfixes in the meantime? I realize that certain fixes for various modules are scheduled to be included in 2.0 to limit the need to maintain two development branches. Also, I am not complaining that 2.0 and EDGE as such is coming late®, but I have a feeling that there is a backlog of more or less important fixes building up with this approach ...
MacEwan Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 EDGE is looking pretty damn good. All the little details are starting to come together to give life to the environment. The city feels like a city; the airport feels like an airport. I'm also excited about how the new engine will handle lighting (do we have a night video yet? I haven't seen one). Hopefully no nasty bugs reveal themselves and we can get our hands on 2.0 relatively soon.

Flagrum Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Most are going to wait till 2.0 is released as they have said previously... And that is what worries me a bit. It will probably rather be June than March when 2.0 hits the download servers.... I just hope, that they (they as in all devs concerned) reconsider this policy - on a case-by-case basis as well as they (as in "ED") reconsider(ed/ing) their 2.0 schedule as whole ... :o)

Boberro Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Video is not bad, finally city looks better, closer to real city. Airport also :) I hope in the final not everything will be shining, example concrete. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...
