Questions for next DCS Stream

[S3NTRY11]

Will it be possible to adjust controls during a multiplayer session?

Pretty sure this one was answered in a stream. The answer was no, because there would need to be a pause-state for all clients, which would lead to interesting (to say the least) situations.

 

Having said that, it would be good if individuals could 'do it anyway', and if they're in a bad spot while the simulation keeps running in the background, well...

Any plans to allow the VR support to use NVIDIA's VR SLI?

 

And in particular, its broadcast mode (described on page 8 here) that allows a single stream of draw calls to be sent to both GPUs? This feature seems ideally suited to DCS with its large number of objects.

Could we have all the questions that were answered in the first post quoted and answered?

[NineLine]

This is more of a wishlist item, these Q&A's are meant for things we know, features coming to DCS, features for the L-39. They are not to promote your favorite issue or a feature you would really like to have. Wags will not use these Q&A's to announce new features, modules, etc (atleast most likely wont).

 

So again, keep the questions on what we know, but would like more info on, not one what we would like to see.

 

Pretty sure i already posted this but for whatever reason it got deleted, so please allow me to repost;

 

"Is there a specific reason why different keys are used for the same command across different aircraft? And if not, wouldn't it be a good idea to standardize certain key assignments?"

Examples are different keys for multiplayer chat, open and closing canopy, landing gear and flaps.

 

Please see the following thread for more details and discussion;

@ moderators, if this post needs to be deleted as well, could you please PM me as to why?

Cause i absolutely have no idea why the original has been deleted.

Dear Wags,

 

Will there still be a difference in the way exhaust smoke is rendered between AMD and Nvidia cards with 1.5? In your recent videos it seems the exhaust trail is rendered much better than is currently the case for Nvidia users in DCS 1.2.

 

Thanks.

Q. Will it be better for 4k users overall? not sure if its been brought up.

[NineLine]

Questions only guys. Its been stated many times already.

[NineLine]

Q: Will the new over wing vapor effects be available in DCS 1.5?

 

Chances are Wags wont answer questions about when anything will be ready, or what version it might make it in to. Its possible it wont be ready for the first release of 1.5, but might make it into a following release, or it might wait till 2.0... nothing is for sure right now, depends on how things progress.

[FraserNZL]

Hey my question is with 2.0 will we see waves and the like affected by weather at sea (i.e bigger rolling seas with bad weather) on maps such as SOH? I understand that it might not happen with release but is it planned. Sorry if this has been asked but I only get about an hour to the computer a night during the week.

[Solty]

Are DM and FM changes for already existing modules planned for 2.0 or later versions?

[RNeves]

With the NTTR map and EDGE close to release, are there any plans to start working on a dynamic campaign? Or at least does ED plan to give this task to 3rd party developers?

Please ask about know items and features, nothing has been said about Dynamic Campaigns, so they wont answer questions about unannounced items and features, I have asked this repeatedly...

[Shadow KT]

Q: Will there be new features in the ME (trigger section) as: Respawnable groups ? A way of detecting hits(or misses).

Q: Will the SAMs units try to work together and will they try to go "defensive" when fired upon with a ARM ?

[Slipp]

Will there be a visual wet runway effect and will a wet runway affect the ground handling?

 

Any chance for rain droplets on the canopies in DCS 2?

Wet runways effect the braking even in the current DCS for a long time now

[Shadow KT]

Q: Will the runways be destroyed by bombs runs (with visual effect for that)

[sniperwolfpk5]

Q: Will you tell us about infantry animation. Shad some light on animation.

 

Congrats :thumbup: what you have achieved with 1.5/2.0. It looks really promising

[Phantom453]

Can we please see a demo of the weather effects for each season by day and by night. Thanks.

[Anatoli-Kagari9]

- What can we expect from weather modeling and effects, different from what we have today ?

 

I've read somewhere that terrain effects on winds will be modeled, but, what about turbulence and wind variability ? Presently the turbulence is almost not felt, even at the highest scales..

 

- Will the navaids, and the algorithm which supposedly even implements "line of sight" for VORs be fixed in 1.5 / 2.0. Will mountains hide the signal from a distant VOR station, instead of what happens presently with some modules, where the mask effect is reversed?

Corsica map

 

Hi Matt,

 

Q: Will the Corsica map (found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz_yVmaqfAw) be integrated at DCS 2.0 at some point?

[Liger Zero]

Hi Matt,

Will the older dcs airfields be upgraded in dcs 1.5. Sutch as nowadays situationeel. Example SOCHI-ADLER that airfield has been highly modded if you look via Google maps.

[S3NTRY11]

Moddable ATC

 

With the upcoming updates to the ATC system, will it be possible for the community to create add-on sound-mod packs for localisation and variety purposes? By extension, I imagine a script would need to be released?

 

Loving the Q&As, really appreciate the time and effort that goes into them.

 

Thanks again.

[Keshman]

*Video with Combined Arms on the new map Nevada will be someday ?

CA vehicles, roads, trees, grass, buildings and civilian traffic in the direct vicinity.

 

*CA vehicles will be painted in the desert skins ?

Hi

 

Hi Matt,

I have only one question at the moment : when do you plan to show the work in progress on the normandie map ?

[Avatar72]

Matt,

What are your thoughts of using much higher quality audio for the external aircraft engine sounds. For fly by, takeoffs or just stationary.

As in any game including dcs, the engine sounds are muffled. As we all know, these engines screech when heard in person.

Perhaps this is achievable using a much higher bit and kHz quality if possible.

 

Seems like a lot of work but I want my aircraft in game to sound like the real thing.
