DCS World 1.5 and 2 Discussion


Wags

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the best thread for this comment, but if I could have one request, it is when releasing trailers to have them running at 50 or 60fps as youtube now allows. It makes for much more impressive looking sim (especially since a lot of people think sim's are some slow old boring game that only runs at 25fps on a super computer).

 

sorry OT, but since when does youtube allow 60fps?

What about AMD optimization?

That's not ED's job. AMD cards are well known to be badly optimized for dx9.

 

25 fps on takeoff is kinda annoying, especially on min. settings. I can imagine what would happen on EDGE, with all those beautiful details and Dx11

Dx11 is expected to improve performance on AMD cards.

Well is there any screens/videos about those new fire/smoke/explosion effects.. ?

Yes i now they are "WIP" but so far we've seen only the old effects in these videos, when almost everything else is visually changed and become better.

Is the release of DCS2 & Nevada map linked?

 

I see from the 1st post update DCS 2 has been delayed a further 6 months, does this affect Nevada?

 

EDIT: never mind, of course it does.. looking at the wording.. "The first new map being developed for DCS World 2 is the NTTR map."

 

Where was it delayed a further 6 months?

6 months or not doesn't matter , it`ll be out when its out , done or less done.

I for one don't mind the wait anymore, it is obvious plenty is being done to bring this to the market asap.

 

also i`m not in a rush since i`m atleast waiting for EDGE before upgrading my PC and there is no point in upgrading at the moment before new Intel chips are out (Skylake or Broadwell-K) and that could be much closer to 2016

If you get into the habit of waiting around for the hardware that's coming out in a year, you'll never build a new rig.

Actually i made that mistake last year and bought X280 just 4-5 months before 970 GTX came out for the same price , much less wattage and more performance.

i`m not making that mistake again.

 

at the moment the only option for me is 4790K, i`ll wait for 14nm cpu`s

 

waiting 6 months for hardware upgrade that happens once in 4-5 years is fine.

Not sure but it seems to be less shiny then before. Baybe it was just deactivated for better performance or something like that?!

Thanks for the screenshot, showed exactly what i mean. Now compare that to the Sabre trailer, which i think is clearly an early version of DCS World 2:

Last time i saw an update ED talked about winter 2014, now they are saying 1st half of 2015.

 

Sounded like a 6 month push back to me. Maybe you interpret that differently.

 

I think the way Sithspawn read it was a 6-month delay from "now." Heck, that's I took it.

I think the expectation is that it will go all the way until June or up til the end of June considering the trend over the years and queuing that from the December update we had. That's how I took it. :)

I didn't mean from now.. I don't come come to the forums very often. I just check from time to time to see if any progress has been announced on DCS2 and new maps. Last i saw it was winter 2014 now its 1st half of 2015. And yeah Raven68, 1st six months says June to me, just from experience, things in all development tend to get delayed.

 

The answer is simple, they are not giving firm dates anymore, as most can understand "1st half of 2015" is very vague, so assuming that means a 6 month delay is just being negative. Maybe it will take that long, but at this point, who cares... longer they take, the better it will be for us.

Quick question, I know it's WIP. But from the MiG-15 trailer the Sabre don't have the "reflections" from their skin anymore like earlier DCS world 2 videos. Was this feature dropped, or just not currently implemented yet?

 

That is a good question. Although the mirror finish on the early previews was ridiculous (looked more like a fancy modern restoration piece rather than 1950s frontline veteran) I'd love to see a little bit of it on the "EDGE-Sabre".

 

Actually, I'd say the current NM finish on MiG-15 looks pretty good given the limited capabilities of the old renderer.

It's purely the price of seeing pre-Alpha WIP vids and screenshots, you are going to see things change, or perhaps even see some things that are bugged.
