No, you require the release of the beta of 2.0 to get NTTR.

Afaik NTTR will work only with DCS 2.0 - which will be released shortly before or together with NTTR. Then 1.2.x and 1.5.x will be obsolete.

 

What I don't know is, if 1.2 and/or 1.5 will be updatable (with the DCS updater) to 2.0 or if 2.0 will be a separate and fresh install.

Hi,

 

I hope we will have some information in advance for DCS World 2

e.g.

 

* don´t copy settings (in game joystick-settings, ???) from 1.2 to 2.0

* don´t copy settings (in game joystick-settings, ???) from 1.5 Beta to 2.0

* we can copy settings (in game joystick-settings, ???) from 1.5 Beta to 2.0

* ???

Correct, 1.5 can not handle the new map assets. Only 2.0 can do that.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Yes, but will we be able to automatically update to 2.0 from the 1.5 open beta version once it is released? (Like it was possible from 1.2.X to 1.5.) or will 2.0 require a completely new install?

My understanding was that 1.5 was to test EDGE and 2.0 is for map compatibility.

Hi,

 

Why release 1.5, why not just 2.0?

As optimization and refinement of NTTR and the addition of new theatres is completed ED wanted to get public testing started on EDGE and other new features coming with 2.0. As new theatres is one of the biggest features of 2.0, the thought was to give this initial release a lesser number as it didnt have one of the biggest features.

Most likely yes on the update. They wouldn't have put so much effort in the auto-updater just to distribute NTTR strictly via http now, would they?

The 1.5B version is, from what I can tell is basically 2.0 with some things still a WIP, some things disabled etc.

 

Without the Beta stage, who would test for bugs? You can't just jump from a stable version to an untested version and release it. Espeically one with such a jump in development that 2.0 brings with EDGE.

 

All the bugs that are being found and squashed in the Beta right now would be there in the stable release without this Beta stage. No one wants that.

That's why it's an Open Beta. So people that want to can test it and help iron out all the wrinkles prior to release as DCS 2.0 Edge.

 

Essentially, the only real difference between 1.5B and 2.0 Stable is a version number - as far as I understand it anyway.

 

 

Regarding 1.5 Beta updating to 2.0 Stable:

 

So long as we can import our controller profiles from 1.5B over to the 2.0 Stable version I don't mind removing the beta and installing the stable version. With 1.5B being so similar to version 2.0 stable I can't see it being an issue like it was importing from 1.2.6 which is radically different to 1.5b. I hated having to manually remap everything hehe.

No, the version of EDGE in 1.5 can't deal with the new map assets. It's not something being disabled, it's using a legacy "interface" with the assets. Only in 2.0 is there an "interface" that can deal with both the old and the new assets.

You seem to have a very common misconception about how controller profiles work. Since quite a few versions back the profiles don't hold all the bindings, instead they are patchfiles that are applied to the files that hold the bindings, therefore performing only the modifications that you made. You can apply such a patch file to any future keybinding file and it will come out intact with your changes and the changes made by the devs.

 

The reason why you are not supposed to copy over any files is one of bugreporting. If you don't know *exactly* what you are doing, there is the potential of screwing with your install when you copy files over. Nobody wants these user snafus to end up as beta bug reports that a dev has got to spend precious time on to debunk.

1.5 Beta Introduced EDGE/DX11, and several fixes and features to be tested on a broader spectrum hardware set.

 

NTTR map assets use a different formatting/interface, which is NOT a feature of 1.5 and will be integrared as a major feature in 2.0.

1.5 was only released as an interim step while the NTTR map was being integrated so we could all give the EDGE engine a try and to lessen the wait. ED have always stated that NTTR was dependent upon 2.0, and wouldn't work on 1.2.16. We can only assume that it will not work in 1.5.1 either.

 

As is normal with all beta releases, you can expect 2.0 Beta to overwrite your current Beta install and won't affect the full release install. What will happen with the current full release hasn't been stated. It might jump to 1.5.*, or it might just go straight to 2.* when that reaches final release status.

 

The updates were naturally a part of the Beta refinement process. We report bugs, they fix them, and we see if the fixes raise new issues.

 

Rocket science it isn't.
