tomcatter Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Late to the party, but this is a very good newsletter, for me at last, as it shows that ED has their goals set a long time ago and, step by step, they are getting there. Wich shows passion, determination, endurance and love for their work. I have a brand new rig waiting for DCS world 2, and I´m engrossed at the moment with the change I get from 16-24 FPS at med-low settings, to 70-80 at high settings, it is not just that I discovered the beauty of the sim, it is like discovering fly with the sim for the first time, the smooth of flying and, well, a lot of details. So take your time ED and give us a polished new World that plays smooth and nice and as impressive as the videos shows. Thanks for the news Wags.

aaron886 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 A big "Bravo Zulu" to whomever worked on the smoke trails. They look incredible, especially the flares! Well done, ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRG-Vampire Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) You're being a bit too liberal with my quote. I've had my share of pitchforks, i don't need you to put a smoking gun in my hand and throw me to the mob. ;) was your quote but just same as my thought: faith (and competence) :) collisions of trees are possible , we know (even on the old map) it's only matter of time before it will be ready ;) smoking gun in your hand ? :D and how many rounds remained in the magazine of that gun ? you are still armed and dangerous, so i dont think you should be worry about the mob :lol: Edited May 1, 2015 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadHunter52 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I can assure you they are very focused on DCS 2, but if you look at what is all involved, you would understand its no small undertaking... No. The scale of it is amazing. I'm going to continue to sit patiently and see what they accomplish. With all the build-up, it will be make or break.

Kal-El Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 With so much projects in the oven, and each of them being such a big change I guess it might be hard even for ED to shell out release dates. Software dev is all so random tbh, one day you go through a huge breakthrough that you thought represented 2 months of work while the next day you stump upon a bug that has your team sitting duck for a few weeks. I'd rather them not giving any date at all than to keep publicly pushing it back 6 months every 6 months. ^^ Amazing work ED, keep it up. :thumbup: Bring that engine+graphics to 2015 levels.:thumbup: Since half of the year is almost gone, I think a more valid question would be: Is DCS:W2 going to be out this year?

nervousenergy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 OK, all other dev work on the NTTR map needs to STOP NOW for a critical fix. It's all just ruined without it.

hannibal Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 i was blown away by the Su25T flares... but the F15 video at 1:15 looks like it has a shadow glitch that the shadow of the ejection seat is casting not only in the cockpit, but also on to the terrain, making it out of proportion~ seems to me the shadow is only supposed to be cast inside the cockpit not on the terrain.

gerd Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Could not help noticing that L-39 has Czech marking, but the cockpit gauges are in Russian. Is there a plan to have also Czech cockpit?

Solty Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Good too see a newsletter. I am looking forward to multicrew, better functioning MP and I realy like how new effects look. I hope every effect will be revamped like that. Especially kinetic energy based weapons like .50cal need a new effect with more of a flash with some sparks and a little bit smoke, instead of fire with dust around it, as we currently have.

Bucic Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I've been bitching about the toilet paper bug and poor particle effects for some time but now I know that I prefer pre-pre-Alpha of DCS2 with >some< particle work rather than DCS1 with all-new particle effects. Thank you for the update! I needed my fix so badly ;) PS.

NRG-Vampire Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Assumed you meant the high roller, roller coaster on the strato tower very strange, they chose the same name "High Roller" for Caesars' new observation wheel The "first" High Roller at 909 ft (277 m) - on the Stratosphere Tower was the second highest ride in the world and the highest roller coaster It was closed on December 30, 2005, and dismantled to make space for a new attraction in DCSW2 NTTR: an experienced 3D model artist needs only couple days to make that model and put into Las Vegas on the NTTR map...so maybe we will see that new observation wheel in the sim as well as the new control tower(s) on the McCarran International Airport (in Wags' video) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I sense Naveda is closer than they let on. Mudslike probably have an article in the making as we speak.
