Two-Six Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I have un-installed my old version of DCS world...what ever that was..I installed it a while ago but updated it until about 4 or 5 weeks ago then un-installed it and bought DCS world 2. Then I thought I would go back to the "old" DCS world and installed 1.5.2.48. The thing is...it might be my imagination but it looks different from what I had. The scenery is much more colourful and nice looking and smoother than I remember.... Is it just my imagination or am I looking at something different? Sorry for being thick :-) Somebody please explain.
SkateZilla Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 DCS 1.2.x was DX9 and old DCS 1.5.x is DX11 and uses higher res textures.

dburne Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 You probably uninstalled the old 1.2 version which is no more as of this week. 1.5 is the updated Edge graphics version, which uses DX11 and does indeed look a lot nicer, and in most cases performance is better. All of this is leading up to eventually DCSW 2. Currently 2.0 is in Open Alpha testing and only has the NTTR terrain. At some point it will all become one.

grunf Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 DCS 1.5 introduced better graphics and better performance, something you don't get very often. :D
Two-Six Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 Oooh very nice indeed! Its loads better. I just bought the new campaign to, now I need to practice actually making the bombs and weapons come of the wings. Its a bit random at the moment. I am sure I will loose the war pretty fast
