wedge_one Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm impressed there's not a single mention about this image on the forums, no speculations and discussions about it. I myself only noticed this image yesterday. So let's fix this: Link to the original facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/eagle.dynamics/photos/a.10152597072140341.966057.441639040340/10157185125575341/?type=3 This is also the same image used on the last Community Update.

Blaze Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 New grass. Still WIP, like the new clouds. I suspect they'll both make an appearance in 2.5, along with what looks like new lighting and model shaders. Very pretty indeed. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

wedge_one Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 In the coming weeks, I think many of you will understand why 2.5 has been taking longer than expected. It will be worth it. 2.5 in two weeks! DCS memes aside well, basically because 2.5 isn't just a graphical upgrade for Caucasus but almost a new game, with new features not even yet available for 2.0 and NTTR. and also because you guys are working on too many things at the same time. what will "eat" every single DCS pilot is this "coming weeks", of what we are getting. an announcement? standalone alpha? update for 2.0? on the speculation side of things, this pic for me means WAR: maybe a dynamic campaign, or just a whole new comm system for AWACS and ATC... good times ahead! ¬ wedge Wishlist: DCS: F-16C wedgeDCS - Modern Custom CSS themes for the Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fri13 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Since Wags made the first video of F-5E II Tiger about take-off, landing etc, I have been waiting to get more info about Caucasus map. I don't care so much for the new modules as the new terrain. What I am looking up to, is just get a new refreshed height-map for DCS, as now the terrain is little too flat. So no cover, no masking etc. And it is just so serious for the helicopters and ground units as you can't hide and get some cover and concealment. Even a nice higher resolution terrain height map for area that would offer more dents, and very small hills and such, so that ground units would not be able see 20km distance and shoot straight etc. That if performance hit would be too high by adding random terrain elements (trees, bushes etc). But anyways, terrain improved and updated is my #1 waiting feature :music_whistling: 1 i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I have been thinking, would it be too much to get the animated ground crew to appear when aircraft is parked correctly on the parking slot? The crew would be positioned to aircraft position, instead the terrain, so if your aircraft is parked in the 20x20m area correctly turned etc but just 15 degree wrong heading, the crew would appear 15 degree as well and be animated to move around aircraft that way, inside that 20x20m area? Sure one day 10-20 years forward we might see animation how crew drives from the hangars, park near and then roll weapons and such as well etc. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
