A long wait, a long time downloading but was it worth it ???

[XeNoise]

I am overwhelmed with NTTR and have merely scratched the surface of it's potential. I have been waiting over 15 years for this and look forward to the future developments already in the pipeline. Bravo ED and thanks.:notworthy:

 

9 years here (yes i was waiting for an expantion with a new map for lock on), and yes! Totally worth it. The best thing is that sometimes when i fly i get the same feeling which i had when i was flying the f-22 over the desert in the 90s (did f-22)

 

I really missed it, feels nice and somehow like home

[Mizzy]

Yep, on the download train... another few hrs. Getting excited reading all the fantastic experiences from the many of you that are up and flying. Question, the AI passenger jets at McCarran airport... can they be placed as static objects, or are they fixed?

 

I would like to know that !

Wish I could answer. I've been trying to DL for over 24 hours now. I finally got 2.0 installed after 4 failed updates and trying torrents and regular downloads. Now NTTR can't seem to DL. I know there are a lot of folks bottlenecking the servers and I'm trying to be patient...but geez. Best case scenario I'm flying the SU-25 around tomorrow night because I'll still be trying to download one of my modules other than NTTR.

 

I found downloading all my modules very quick, I think the reason is that the installer used the 1.5 install, copies the files and only downloads the new files. It took me less than 10 minutes to download and install 9 modules. Very quick once you are up and running.

Gryphon.. are your speeds better now? I just switched the server over to greg's torrent about 10 minutes ago. It's on a 10gig connection.

 

Not yet. I did wind up cancelling the NTTR DL and downloading four of my modules last night and those went lickitty split like normal. Then before bed I started NTTR. The torrent wasn't moving at all so I cancelled that and went to the normal DL. After about 9 hours it was 20% done so at this rate it will finally finish Friday at 03:30 central. Assuming no power outages or errors.

 

Oh well. My friend told me he's not going to bother downloading it at all until a week has gone by at least. I still think it is going to be worth it.

[Mizzy]

You will love it when you get it...mind blowingly good !

I'm a total ED fanboy and knew Nevada would be great but even I am completely blown away by how incredible it looks.

 

I need to put in for some time off work.

 

If you need a note from the ED Community Manager, I will be happy to send you one ;)

LOL, so very glad I recently retired. Timing could not have been better.

 

And yes, I am very much blown away as well, it is just gorgeous!

 

I so now need to take some time, and learn how to use the editor to create some missions lol.

I am not only retired but I have no wife. It just doesn't get any better than that. :megalol:

Only when you also have a dog that doesn't chew cables, like me! :P

You have a dog? I would never have guessed LOL.

:thumbup:

 

Now that I am retired that is next on my hit list, we may be moving to FL before too long though so I may wait until afterwards.

 

I traveled for a living for many years, and did not have a dog as I did not want to saddle my wife with that responsibility since I was gone so much. Really looking forward to getting one.

Just do some research about breeds to find what will suit your lifestyle and please make an effort to adopt! :)

Bart was getting rid of his wife as soon as he got 2.0

 

 

Anyone want a wife for a month or two?? :lol:

 

:megalol::D

I certainly will, thanks. My wife would be all about adopting.

dcs update

 

any idear when dcs gets updated guys

[BimC]

I would like to contribute to this thread and emphasize my gratitude for what the team has put together.. It is very impressive and worth the wait!

Have you updated to the latest downloader? DCS didn't find it automatically for me so I ran it from the command line:

 

In the /bin/ folder LShift + Right mouse click. Chose "Open command prompt here" (or something along those lines - I am on Swedish OS). Type: DCS_updater update and then hit Enter.

 

I had some modules taking forever with the first updater but with the new one it was blazing fast. Perhaps that will be the case for NTTR as well.

[Runibl]

Having finally finished installing nevada, and looked around. Consider me amazingly impressed. Wow.

Good job on the terrain, it is gorgeous.

[Ganesh]

YES it was worth all the years to wait for.

 

My first flight was in my Huey at Groom. In a square about 500x500 meters,

go around every house, Tower and Antenna. Slide thru every alley and hover over each truck and was immense satisfied with what i saw.

 

:clap_2:THANKs to the whole ED Team :clap:

[GriffonBR]

Every masterpiece takes time to be created and this is what happened with the DCS Nevada Map. It was a long time waiting, but at the end (well, not the end, it's the beginning of the Alpha:lol:) you guys did a superb job.

 

Thanks for all the days and nights of hard work Eagle Dynamics, the Nevada map rocks!:thumbup:

 

Now unfortunately I have a lot of extra work to do, so no joy today!:cry:

[LuSi_6]

No. Not here. Nevada has not convinced me yet. I'm a Rift user, and I can only fly way outside of Vegas. 2.0 alpha and Nevada needs massive optimisation. And where I can fly, it's empty desert... For me, old Caucasus map looks better (I can play with mch higher settings in my Rift) works better.

 

Btw, why do we need swimmingpools and stuff? I don't see any reason why ED should have wasted time on details like this. Well, I'll stick to the Black Sea, I'll check Nevada in some weeks again.

 

ED: go and implement time wrap for VR and we can cruise in Vegas like our 2D friends!

I am more disappointed there is no bikini clad women by the pools... its all about immersion you get better speed sensation with all those bits and pieces as well... more details the better.

THAT and camera pods to do some serious aereol... I mean aerial recon would be a neat feature! :thumbup:

[mjmorrow]

This map is so cool! I love all the details. Vegas is a real hoot. The map looks great, at any altitude, any where I go, just fantastic sites, everywhere. I am very happy with the NTTR. Thank you to everyone behind the development and testing of this map. You all did an amazing job! :thumbup: MJ

Each time it looks for an update it acts like it downloads a new updater. I can't pretend to know how it works. almost 24 hours after I started I'm not halfway through. Is there a solid answer for making it go faster? I don't want to cancel the DL if I start it again and it goes this slow. This is the second time I've tried, first with the torrent and now with HTTP. Both were creeping.

[Ranger79]

Very impressed and taken back. Been to Nellis and Indian Springs many times, brings back alot of memories, great job ED!
