Feedback and General Questions for Video Updates

[piXel496]

Great initiative.

 

Compliments for all who took the time to make this stream happen. The few random imperfections during the live presentation where perfect and made it better then edited.

 

I like the professional desaturated graphic style ED uses and find it nice to see it still does. just one comment.. The feel of soft edges in the landscapes are they due to coarse structured tesselation or low contrast textures?

 

Thanks and I hope you will stream again!

It´s not about the stream having on youtube, but why not having the stream recorded and officially posted on youtube by ED. By reading through the Thread here I recognize that really every single person who complains about not having had the possibility to watch this stream due to Internetspeed limitations, has been ignored. Should´nt the WHOLE Community have the opportunity to see this content? Or is it just for those who deserve this because they got a highspeed Internet?

 

Thats not my point, you are able to record and upload Videos to Youtube if you use Twitch, its actually very easy to do, it wasnt uploaded because ED only did this as a test and has been stated many times by them (different resoultions for the stream will be possible once they are partnered), all I'm saying is just that they should stick to twitch for streaming instead of going to youtube blocking out a part of the audience.

Very enjoyable and am very excited by the new ME features, the nanosecond load times and the feature rich MP interface:thumbup:

 

BTW I have a 2MB rural internet but still managed to stream, don't know if I was lucky but doubt very much there are many ppl with a worse internet connection

My feedback is can you please record it so those not able to present can view it?

[Aginor]

I hope Wags does not forget that the reaction of the majority here and even in that awful twitch chat (thanks to the moderators for trying to keep it clean btw.) was and is positive. This should encourage ED to keep up with the updates. Please don't let a few a******* ruin the communication of ED with the community again. :)

Load times looked pretty nice in DSCW2

thats true for sure and according the streaming process itself you´re right...I have used your post to highlight or introduce the Internetspeed limitation issue that kept many people out of the show...thats sad and unnecessary. Thats why I hope that the next stream will be available on youtube later on for those who dont have the opportunity to watch it life

Agreed, could not believe the chat last night like free weekend on counterstrike:P

:music_whistling:He uses a ssd. The load times are now explained.

The twitch chat window had every troll possible trying to cause problems.

 

I was impressed, missile smoke was great, when Wags popped flares the first time I about crapped myself they look so good. Different sounds for the various stages of AB on the 15.

 

Sure some things need tweaking but overall very impressed. Now to get back to writing operating instructions for US airfield symbology:D.

 

Looking forward to the next one, don't late the trolls impact future streams. If I had to guess out of the various people watching (over 1500 at one point) I'd say the negative people (or those that repeated over and over again about needing an F-16) was less than 2%. I eventually just stopped watching the chat window.

Even with SSD, loading times in DCS 1.x are much longer than what we saw in the stream.

[WildBillKelsoe]

Well, its better to record then upload to youtube. Last night it was impossible to get a decent information. Oh, and disable chat to improve uptime.

[Rangi]

Agreed, could not believe the chat last night like free weekend on counterstrike:P

 

I'm surprised anyone posted or read the chat, I just fullscreened and watched the feed intently.

Good job ED. It seemed to go very positively, I wasn't paying much attention to chat but the response seemed good. The crashes were to be expected from an pre-Alpha build. It has to be this year though, please :)

[xoxen]

I believe the crashes have not been DCSW 2.0 related. Everytime when the stream continued he did not start from the beginning. It seems that the stream itself caused the issues, respectively TwitchTV.

Just my 2 Cents.

By the way, in my opinion the Live Stream was amazing and I hope this will be continued the same way soon and frequently. Good job Wags and ED.

Don't hold your breathe.... After watching it, I am now not expecting it this year...oh well..

Hi Matt thank you and ED for the stream.

 

Besides the new graphics engine is ED also working on a new sound engine?

I ask this question because alot of the sounds during the stream are the same as the current ones. Are they just placeholders or will they be carried over. To be honest i think alot of current sounds are much better by using mods that replace them. Sounds are a big part of the immersion and it would be so nice to get better sounds aswell.

 

The new graphics looks absolute stunning and i like the fact ED has made options for model visibilty. Satellite view in the editor is really great ! Is 3d editing an option for the future with this engine?

 

Shaping up greatly:thumbup:The future of my beloved flightsim looks great:pilotfly:

[Pikey]

Hi ED,

 

The stream was world class, i'm grateful you invited me, thanks!

Long time customer and remain a very active user. Matt did ask for feedback generally on DCS World 2.0.

 

I'd like to see;

How the A-10C tgp camera handles the magnification effect when searching on the new terrain

Night time lighting

CA units, down low, making use of the improved terrain resolution including some of those delicious gulleys and infantry if it is ready.

AI and line of sight

Cloud penetration and thick cloud with perhaps weather effects (and if these can be changed)

Any changes to the ME?

Specifically, any more resource management for campaign builders. warehouses were a step in the right direction but incomplete we need to measure resources at mission end correctly.

 

Much of the feature set has developed whilst we all waited, really all I would like to know on a development level is how scalable is the new design, is it extensible generally speaking, how can we consider the evolution of graphics and hardware to keep pace without a long update wait - and that sort of consideration.

I'd be happy to provide in depth feedback, I can put aside time for that.

After sitting through the err, umm (not to be mentioned), that someone very naughtily took upon themself to "cough" not mention "cough" and not 'cough" mention... I can fully appreciate what exactly it is you guys (DCS Team) are trying to achieve.

I could watch almost whole stream and I have to say it looked very good. On the other hand it looked sim crashed twice only so for me it is ready for open alpha.:thumbup:

[remi]

Next time, do a youtube stream.

[Pepec9124]

Wags did a great job yesterday.

Things to improve:

1. More bitrate options, it was lagging on ~8Mbps connection

 

Overall it was pleasing to watch, commentary was top notch, DCS 2 looks promising to say the least.

[Mizzy]

I liked the Fender Stratocaster in the background :-)

After the success of the Twitch Stream yesterday, we are going to attempt to do a weekly Twitch stream (when the software is cooperating and I am not traveling). Currently, I am thinking that it will be on Sundays at 1800 UTC time. With the kinks worked out, the streams will be archived for later viewing and users are free to re-broadcast.

 

It’s my hope that the first weekly stream will be this Sunday, 28 June.

 

I will also be doing an open Q&A on the channel chat the half hour prior to the stream starting.

 

More details to follow…

[Etirion]

Awesome news, thanks very much!
