DCS World 1.5 and 2 Discussion

[rrohde]

i am just ready and excited for 2.0 and haave no problems with having to pay for Nevada map since i wasn't an a10 beta buyer. i will purchase Nevada as soon as 2.0 drops to us in alpha. :)

TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE ED

 

I will do the same.

 

Heck, I'd be glad to pick up mode modules to support ED, but the development of new content is just such a long, drawn out time period... :) From my ignorant, no developer point of view, there needs to be more stuff, sooner.

the very first nevada map development by sim-mod team (with Luckybob-Zach too) started in 2008 (see my join date) - that's what ED taken/carried over

GA-Cato knows as well

I was under the impression that was a mod for FC..... Not PaidDLC

 

Either way Im pretty sure none of those Art assets are being used in EDGE..

 

and development of EDGE and the Rebuild of the map is what delayed NTTR release.

yep, this is how it started

ps. but actually that was something new, an addon not a mod, still looks great, still on my old hard-drive

Oh, now there's a blast from the past.

The nevada terrain on the way looks a couple of generation leaps better than what was showcased there though. :thumbup:

Updates will be given as updates are available. Asking for them are not going to speed the flow of info, and are OT for this thread.

do i have to open a new thread to request informations there? I thought requesting informations about DCS World 2 would be correct in this thread because of the missleading title "DCS World 2 Discussion", my bad :<

Read what I said, you dont need to request info as it will be given when its available. Requesting it is the equivalent of asking Dad if you are there yet in the car while its still moving.

So, can you collide with trees in EDGE?

[GeorgeLKMT]

So, can you collide with trees in EDGE?

 

"More detailed tree models with collision for new maps" in the first post, so yes. Just note "for new maps" meaning probably not for the current map.

[outlawal2]

I think it also said that this feature may not be available immediately..

[NineLine]

That goes for any feature listed, not specifically trees or anything. Tree collisions may very well be in the initial release... but nothing has been stated for sure yet.

[Paganus]

So, can you collide with trees in EDGE?

 

As of now, yes.

 

but...

 

EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

[Dejjvid]

I really hope it stays. Shame to develop an engine for roughly five years and ignore one of the biggest immersion killers, scaling of other aircraft being the biggest immersion killer.

It isn't being ignored, but when looking at actual pilot reports, it becomes obvious that this is much more about people's unrealistic spotting performance expectations. Knowing ED they will try to match real life spotting performance as closely as possible, within the limits imposed by available technology.

To add, it would be beneficial to really wait and pick up the sighting issue again when 2.0 and new maps are out and see where we are at then.

while I was flying under some clouds,I noticed that shadows related to the density of clouds is slightly unsharp on external model surface, besides inside cockpit there is no shadow effect.

I am curious about if the shadow effect will be more clear and if it will be applied on cockpit in Dcs World 2?

this effect is more noticeable on ai aircrafts during formation flight.

do you mean, cloud shadows reflection on aircraft?

but i guess this is about light effect not shadow.

while passing under clouds,i saw some sun flutter effect on aircrafts but not clear and yes we cannot see it in cockpit.

if i am not wrong it is related to dx11 which we'll see on dcs world2

[archer86]

Here is a low flight example under clouds, you can see that light effect all along the video but it is more clear after 3:16

 

I hope to see that on Dcs World 2.

Do anyone have an imformation about that effect?

is this related to dx11?

No one has any information anywhere as detailed as this. Applies to other graphics effects. The only info is the first post here and the available screenshots and videos from DCS 2. That's it.

 

To eager freshmen of DCS:

Pilot's mustache shadow on the hud lenses, exhaust flames visibility from 2 km, plexiglass transparency changing with temperature... Please stop asking such questions. It's of no use.

when curiosity became a guilt? what makes you to do a sarcastic behaviour about that question? if you dont like it,dont answer it. I directed my questions to the ones who have any idea about it.

Since when a reality check became an accusation? :)

And I like sarcasm! :P

[Art-J]

It's not about curiosity, but questions which cannot be answered. The only folks who "have any idea about it" are devs (who share info only by rare, official newsletters/updates) and testers (who cannot write about it because of NDA). The rest is our speculations.

 

First post is all we have and we won't get anything more until the next Wags' announcement.

[=Pedro=]

You took it to personal Archer. Keep cool dude. I have noticed flying under the clouds (coumulus one) that was getting a bit darker than under pure sun. But flying with such a speed, don't expect seeing sharp edge of a cloud on your instruments panel ;) Or if the panel was like 100m2 you would be able to see that efect ;) Lets hope they will improve that in EDGE.

 

Over and out.

 

P.S. What a great exemple of solidarity in here XD
