DCS World Updates Discussion

[Northstar98]

Hmmm, would it be an idea to have an option to say have GPS fitted, not have GPS fitted? Just for those of you who aren't exactly looking forward to it...

Pretty sure that's what was disclosed in the update:

the option to add a Garmin GNS 430 navigation device that can be installed on various aircraft

[NineLine]

Maybe we should start betting pools on missed release dates :)

 

What release dates have you been given?

[NineLine]

Pretty sure that's what was disclosed in the update:

 

And I am certain it will be atleast looked at to make it an option in the ME, at the very least I will ask if its not, so dont everyone get all silly... be happy... its new content.

that's some really cool on board footage :)

[Aginor]

I'd like to ask:

Will the improved clouds block AI line of sight, and will they include thermic effects, or will they just be another graphical improvement?

 

Also: Any word on the new ATC?

Well, Polychop aimed for Q1 release, VEAO claimed they will update Hawk in March and Belsimtek wrote in the newsletter that they will release the F-86 out of beta a week after Mig-15 - which was two weeks ago: http://www.belsimtek.com/news/1628/

Looking forward to the improved terrain, clouds and explosions.

 

And of course the net code!

Whoopsies!!! My bad, I apologise

Remember, the 3rd parties has none control of any version release, They can put estimations, not deadlines. ED need build the appropriate version with a new beta, test them and hunt bugs, resolve them, build the installers and check the installers work properly into DCS: W appropriate version. if something get a delay, we only can take care and wait for news.

From your link:

We are planning to release DCS: MiG-15bis next week and DCS: F-86F Sabre the week after.

Just saying we have been told 1st half 2016 for many things, yet most have no real indication of progress yet, bar the Gazelle. ED used the term will also be launched not may also be launched for those things.

You can stop your panic,

The first Half of 2016 is Through June 30th, 106/107 Days away depending on time Zone.

[FSKRipper]

Since my time to enjoy DCS is very limited by my job and my kids (or future wingmen :music_whistling:) just a short question for the testers if they can tell or make an educated guess...

 

Are 1.5.x and 2.0.x are compatible enough to continue a started Red Flag campaign after the merge into 2.5 by using my current logbook?

[Silver_Dragon]

We can suppose by ED info, 1.5.X and 2.0.X get terminate (and not compatible) with the 2.5 version as release, similar to the old 1.2.X turn on 1.5 version.

I still dont see any firm release dates there. We all have been here long enough to know things happen. They are doing their best to get all this out as soon as they can. But the more you guys take this stuff as written in stone, the less information they are going to want to share. (complaining about the F-86 seems a little silly too... seeing as we can all purchase it today if we havent already)

Ok, so thanks, you havent been given any firm dates. That's all I wanted to know.

 

Guys, the more you complain about supposed missed dates... the thinner the information is gonna get that is released to us. Its as simple as that. You are gonna make the devs scared to even hint at anything, you can see that already.

Not sure I understand... no new version is compatible with older version?

No new info on either.

This isnt exactly true. ED wont build a new version for a new release, if that new release isnt ready and supplied to ED in a state that can be added to the sim. The release of a 3rd Party add-on is up to the 3rd Party getting it ready to be release, it would only take a short time for ED to turn around and add it to the sim as a early access version.

 

Some 3rd Parties rely on ED Testing Team, some do their own (in which case only basic installer level testing is up to ED).

 

SO bottomline is, 3rd Parties dictate their release date, ED might only slow that up by the next available version, which can be done fairly quickly in most cases (things may have slowed with the addition of EDGE and 1.5/2.0 being so complex)

[kontiuka]

And of course the net code!

Maybe I missed this but does someone know exactly what improved terrain means?

That's good info and insight into some of the process Sith. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

[Jumbik]

They havent released any info on it yet.

 

 

Tesselated mountains and new textures for buildings would be great. Caucasus looks great even now so I'm very interested in how they want to improve it even further.
