DCS World 1.5/2.0/NTTR Map FAQ & Discussion

[NineLine]

With the inclusion of multicrew in the future will the net problems be addressed? Example of this would be for instance an aircraft carrier showing up in different locations for 2 different players? Had this issue yesterday with some fellas in the 229th all launching from a CVN. For two of us the carrier showed up where it was supposed to but the other guy had it a good distance away from where we were seeing it. Thanks

 

Of course improvements with the Net code are going to be on going, stress testing during the beta period will hopefully be done as well.

"We hope to release an Alpha test version within the next couple of months depending how debugging goes."

 

Just a little clarification please Sith,

If I purchase Nevada just now I have to wait until DCS 2.0 comes out before I can play it, so I wouldn't be able to play in November, and it could even be after the new year before I can use it, depending how de-bugging goes?

 

Appreciation in advance, thanks,

 

Mick. :)

Sounds like their intention is to release the alpha in November but I would treat it like any pre purchase and assume that delays are always possible. Of course I'm just assuming.

If you purchase it now, soon as its available in the Open Beta (the plan is currently November) you will be able to access it.

For the multiplayer interface in 1.5, If you decide to host a room will there be options to restrict weapons on the clients that join? For instance if you wanted to have a 5 on 5 match using just guns only or 2 AA missiles and guns, etc.

 

With multiplayer, will we have to create the missions ourselves with the mission editor and then select them with the interface "the current way we do it" or will we now have the ability to select basic mission parameters like time of day, weather, countries, A/C types, AA defenses and airfield locations for players directly from the multiplayer page without creating a custom mission?

 

Can we expect vastly revamped multiplayer interface, that looks nothing like the way it looks now, with many more options aside from the ones i'm inquiring about?

 

 

Cheers

Wag's has touched on some features for the new Multiplayer GUI in his videos, I suggest you check some of those out.

 

For example, Bunyap touches on it here:

Sorry if this has been asked before, will Helo Farps be the same on the NTTR map as they are in the black sea map, ie green grass etc?

 

Will the vehicles have a new desert camo or they are the default ones?

[marques]

As speckfire, sorry If it's been asked before. I know that trees in the Black Sea will remain unchanged but, will the new trees be available as objects for creating a landing zone, for example?

Will the new engine be compatible with 3d vision?

 

The current engine runs almost perfect with 3d vision. It would be a pity to lose it.

 

Yes, it will be and we continue to improve the performance under VR conditions.

Is it possible to build a benchmark option in the game? I know that ARMA 3 has a Benchmark test. This way it is much easier to find the best settings for DCS 1.5

We certainly plan to have one some time in the future, although it won´t appear in 1.5 or 2.0.

The Nevada release goes hand by hand with 2.0

Does this mean that when the neveda map is release then DCS 2 will also be released at the same time? As an open beta?

Short answer? Yes.

Its coming, just no timeline when it will come, if it will be ready for 2.0 beta release or shortly after.

I see recommended specs state 16gb of ram. Does that mean 2.0 will use over 8gb in missions?

Minimum specs for NTTR state 8gb, it would be best to try and meet that.

The last Facebook message is claiming that all trees are now collidable. Does that also mean that AI will not shoot throught them? Was the performance hit resolved?

Collidability is different than how the AI interacts with trees. This has been explained in a previous video.

[SilentGun]

Does that mean missiles guns and bombs will interact with the trees?

@sithspawn I just re-watched wag's September 6th Q&A video and he says the ED is in line for releasing 1.5 later this month. Then he goes on to say the ED is set to release anytime from mid September to late September. Now that it's mid September does that mean Anyday now there will be a update to openbeta?
