silentbob11 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 i've been an old fan of ED's work way back to LOMAC days and admire the outstanding work they've accomplished. But I've been asking myself - isn't it about time lo look into some explosion effects and make them more realistic? I'm mainly talking about ground explosion effects, smoke columns (that are now short and faint) fireballs and such. Most of them haven't change in a long long time and fixing them will greatly improve immersion. SB11 CPU: intel Core i7 9700K ~ 3.6 GHZ , nVidia RTX2060 SUPER, 32GB 3300 Mhz RAM, DELL 24" LED.

Nirvi Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 ED is already working on new explosions and other effects: DCS World 2.0 in 2016 will offer new clouds and weather effects; improved HDR; deferred lighting (more light sources); new FLIR system; an improved Air Traffic Control (ATC) system; enhanced explosions, over-wing vapor, and rain on canopy; procedural grass and vegetation; improved multiplayer with dedicated server support; a new Air Combat Generator with enhanced user control of air-to-air generated missions; new custom overlays option for the Mission Editor, and a new Virtual Reality (VR) tab in Options which will improve the DCS World experience in VR. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2659915&postcount=13 Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos

Aginor Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Yeah, and probably gameplay improvements as well, that would be nice. :) EDIT: Corrected my post to not sound aggressive.

silentbob11 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 I'm glad to hear that these issues are being looked into, since they are rather easy to fix and add a huge amount of immersion. needless to say that IIRC these issues haven't been addressed in years .

Aginor Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah, I really think 2.5 will be a big step for many things in DCSW, probably including effects. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah!, I think that, to be safe, just in 5 or 6 years more they will have new explosions ready but they will look just amazing for sure!!:thumbup: Take a look at my MODS here

NeilWillis Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 anyways, hope we'll get to 2.5 before dementia gets to us :) SB11 Sounds like they're too late in some cases! Releasing EDGE was like a python swallowing an elephant. It'll take time to digest it all. Don't expect miracles just yet, but like the impossible, it just takes time.
