DCS World 1.5 and 2 Discussion

Wrong quote sorry Sith was the guy above ya.

 

No worries... bottomline is ED knows how important this release is, the extra time shouldnt be mistaken for anything but them trying to get it as good as they can.

I won't lie I keep watching the recent videos of Dcs 2.0 and am amazed by how many objects are on screen and the detail of those objects. Combat in these environments will be epic.

No doubt... I cant wait to play 'Find the BMP' :)

[Chief1942]

Piece of cake!

 

Sith,

 

It's easy to find the BMP. Put a big red label on it!:music_whistling:

Will label LODs be improved in 2.0?:D

Just fly low, they'll find you since they're expert marksman ;)

You don't need to fly low for that, they'll get you anywhere.

Thinking of which, I've read a few places on AI being improved. Anyone know what kinds of improvements?

I dont think they have gone into details about what improvements/changes they have made or are going to make, maybe it will make it into the next newsletter. Until they are in the sim and working (in internal test version) as desired, they probably wont say anything.

Am i the only one that is excited for destructible buildings and A/G? They do list skeleton models, so all in due time it will come.

[HiJack]

As Wags said they are doing this in baby steps but I also hope it will be good performance. And if we will have collidable threes I hope we also in the future can have a selection in mission designer for permanent damage done to bombed out runways. Would make it more important to protect the homebase and in sircumstanses use the alternate airport for takeoff and landings. :)

permanent damage done to bombed out runways

Maybe we could get a destruction paintbrush of sorts? A sim from back in the day had that. You could "paint" areas wrecked and adjust the level of damage for each. Came in handy :)

ED hasn't mentioned anything about damage to the ground/runway mesh, etc. I think there are new things with Dx11 that could make this happen, but until ED says its implementing such, its all just wishlisting...

 

Now if I understand how runways are built, its very possible it could be done (if I understand the process right), but unless its listed in the first post, its just spitballing right now :)

What is the most recent "release date" they put up for DCS 2.0?

There isnt a "release date" yet. They are still hopeful for the first half of this year, that is all we really have heard. You can reference the first post for this info.

Hi,

Of the blow that means 2.0 it is close! You think that this time it is the good ?

Or it is possible that still be that to new delay ?

I am so impatient !

 

Sorry for my bad English :P

[rjetster1]

Hi terence44,

We have about six weeks left to the end of the first half of the year. So hopefully if everything goes as planned, we might see it at any point in the next six weeks.

Hard to say. Don't get me wrong...I am waiting just for the release of 2.0. Stopped playing DCS until then...lol... refuse to play it having seen how amazing 2.0 looks. But, time has shown again and again that ED will not release anything early...so be prepared for a delay if they don't feel 100% confident.

The good news with that is... we should be getting an update before too long.

[Cibit]

Well we did just have the April Newsletter which contains a lot of information.

The 2 things that stick out for me are

We are burning the midnight oil and we will release an alpha of Nevada Test and Training Range map once we feel it is ready. Before we can do so though, there are still several items that need to be addressed. These will also include: completing the new multiplayer interface, performance optimization, various unified .exe issues, remaining crashes, and some night lighting issues.

 

I can see the new MP interface taking a lot of time, patience and some very clever people on top of everything else in the list like getting unified .exes to work

 

And the rider from Wags at the bottom of the newsletter

 

Future Newsletters

When there is sufficient new news to justify a newsletter, they will be provided. However, there is no set schedule.

 

However I take comfort in the fact that ED wants this released more than we do:)

[whitehot]

does dcs 2 get released along with nevada or we'll have to wait some more for the new map?

Agreed........

 

But what concerns me is... it was just before last Christmas (2014) they said they were "still striving" for a holiday release http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135321 and they were burning the midnight oil to get it ready for that too. Judging by the last newsletter and the list of things that are left to do, it was nowhere near releasing around Christmas! Like Cibit said the MP interface is a big task left, so this makes me wonder how they could have even been talking about a release 5 months ago knowing well all this stuff still needed doing?

 

I'm not griping here at all, just my take on it. At the end of the day it takes however long it takes, but for me I don't expect DCS 2.0 anytime within the next year........

NTTR need DCS World 2.0, but DCS World don`t need NTTR! So until ED get DCS World 2.0 ready, we will not see any new map!

Thank you for your answers :)
