DCS World 1.5 and 2.0 Discussion

[Raven68]

Thanks Raven68. I forgot about that. I'm just restless :)

 

I'm anxious as well my friend. Sometimes I have to go back in some of the updates and search through the list of features and goals to come, for this year especially, to help me reel in my sanity. :D

[dartuil]

Its me or wags stopped update video?

I missed something?

They stopped to give you the weekend updates we are getting now.

[Defos]

Sorry to repeat what may have already been said but im a little confused. Rather than start a new thread ill post here.

 

I played on steam with the free version of DCS world and had the mustang and SU and had options to play, now I downloaded via the main site without steam I added the huey package but those options are greyed out, is the something else I need? Can I not repeat what I had in the steam version?

[BIGNEWY]

Make sure your huey is bound to your ED account here, using the licence check if it is not.

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/order/

 

once that is done login ingame, and use the module manager at the top, you should be prompted to download the huey.

 

If not please make a new thread and we will assist you

I flew the L-39C out of Senaki-Kolkhi for the first time since the Marker frequencies changed and found the F10 Map and in game OUTER MARKER frequency differed from the 17th Feb 1.5.3 patch change log.

 

DCS World

• 
  
• Senaki-Kolhi NDBs. Changed frequency and callsign: Inner NDB from 129 to 688 kHz, "I" to "B". Outer NDB from 156 to 355 kHz, "TI" to "BI"
  

In DCS v1.5.3.51417, Senaki-Kolkhi Outer "BI" NDB frequency is 335 kHz

 

 

Most likely it's just a typo but ED may want to correct the change log before the error gets duplicated.

Anyone has any idea when 2.0 will be updated with the latest updates that came out on open beta a few weeks ago, would love to try the new mirage updates around Nevada, or have I missed an update somewhere?

Have not heard much on Nevada in a while so I am anticipating something major in the next update (fingers crossed). I'm sure ED staff are snowed under right now, especially from what was indicated in last weeks update from Chizh. If not this weekend I do feel it's near and we will pleasantly surprised. :)

DCS:World 1.5 beta and release (1.5.3.52018.61) update in progress (awaiting changelog).

[wolle]

When will the modules in 2.0 get updated??? For weeks now we have been getting weekly updates for 1.5, but none for 2.0:mad:

[Silver_Dragon]

2.0 is only actually the alpha test version to NTTR map, wait to updates with a new NTTR update coming or 2.5 unified version coming in the future.

[Drag0nWIng]

How about that new texture pack for black sea?

Will it adopt with T4 engine?

[S-GERAT]

I don't like the approach that ED is taking whit the dlc's.. New maps.. Yes, Campaigns.. Yes, but textures enhancements ? IMHO I think that ED should buy the Starway work and add it for free in order to get a decent quality in their only free map..

 

If not, what stops ED to make the new maps with bad textures and wait for someone that makes an enhancement and charge for it ( With the gains shared with ED, of course )

 

The problem with Georgia is that this map is used for a lot of campaigns included in payware aircraft ( which developers should use because is the only map that everyone have ) so at my point of view ED should offer a quality map.. and it's not about the money.. is that I don't like DCS becoming a new sort of fsx with hundreds of payware addons..

 

I know that I'm going to buy this dlc at release ( If I can find a notable difference between it and the free mods ) but don't like this approach..

Did they say that the Starway textures will be a payware-DLC? That would be new to me. I thought it will be included in an update for free?

I didn't see anything about a charge for it - and why, when you can download the mod for nix?

[S-GERAT]

Wags neither say that is gonna be free.. so make your bets gentlemen !:D

[BIGNEWY]

We need to wait for the official announcement.

 

Either way as consumers we have the choice.

[StandingCow]

I do get the argument against charging for the texture enhancement for the only free map, but when you compare this against other flight sims that charge for freaking everything...it seems fair.

Charging for "upgraded" textures for the only free map is what I call charging for freaking everything.

We have a free map which is being upgraded to edge T4, giving us a choice to upgrade textures or not is great in my opinion.

[QuiGon]

This discussion is a bit pointless IMHO. No one said the new textures will cost anything. So, unless someone official says that it's just arguing about nothing.

They seem to be probing the community at the moment to see if people are willing to pay or not. So I really don't think it's pointless.

Yes giving the choice to install or not is great but this should remain free of charge. The current stock textures are a little dated. So frankly I wouldn't put that upgrade into the "extra" category.

We will have to wait for that to be announced, we still do not know.

 

I do not know about you, but when I work I like to get paid

[bart]

I thought the textures were very impressive. I think Wags had autumn running last night, so it would be good to see the other 3 season's textures too, which I would think ED would show these in a pre-sales video anyway?

 

As for me, yes...... I would pay for a quality upgrade to the textures. Like Bignewy said, it's good to have a choice.

I'm sure most of us would want some sort of compensation, I know I would, especially with this level of quality being done.
