DCS World Weekend News Update Discussion

[Texac]

Did they also added more sounds? At night or dawn I can hear the crickets chirping.

 

Also once you fire a ATGM the cockpit is shaking a little bit. That's what I noticed so far.

Glares off Glass and Reflective objects is a real effect, frequency and intensity depend on the source (ie SUN), the material (Glass/Polished Metal etc), and Size of Material (Small Surface/Large Surface).

 

As for the "Doubters", Dont tell trained snipers Sun Glare off Glass doesnt exit.

if they continue to add things to nevada, my hdd will blow up

The update was ~20GB but... since it was an update it does not mean that DCS size increased the same. 2.0 is quite big though ~58GB.

Regarding reflections, it's kind of strange but I didn't noticed them neither in SP or MP. Are they connected with graphics options?

Oh, it does exist of course, just the effect is a bit overdone from my point of view and we need the cars frontpanes to be a bit more diverse or a bit less precisely parked.

 

I never saw such a "flashstorm" in real life when approaching an airport and Germany is very populated!

 

The effect itself is great, just needs some tweaking. ;)

Seems they're not in the current update, only seen in the video... ;)

wags says in the comments to the video:

An early look WIP look of the new deferred lighting system. One element is light reflections off highly reflective surfaces. I believe this is also part of the PBR system being worked on. Much to still tune though.

 

I agree that the effect is overdone. In that video Nevada sparkles more than a modern vampire in the sun. ;)

I just want you guys to do a simple math question for me, ready?

 

Sneak Peek at WIP features + "that looks *horrible" (*substitute your favorite negative word) = No more Sneak Peeks at WIP features.

Soon I will have some sneak peaks..:thumbup:

SP(WIP+F) + TLH(*SFNW) = NM+SP(WIP+F)

I think we all know this is WIP, and I think we all really appreciate sneak peeks at WIP :thumbup:

So one or two negative Nancy's are spoiling it for the rest of the community? I thought the idea of Alpha/Early release was to get feedback from the community. To be honest I really have not seen any destructive criticism. I guess it depends on the person that is doing the judging...

 

Also FWIW I am enjoying the expanded map with the time I have had with it so far. Kudos to ED and staff.

:doh:

"that looks *horrible"

 

Really? If my (rather tongue in cheek) comment was perceived that way, then I apologize. That was definitely not what I was trying to say. We all know it's WIP and I'm sure the devs will get it tuned perfectly in time.

 

On the other hand looking at your equation are we really only allowed to post enthusiastically about future features or we risk comm lines being cut? I know stuff has happened and your defensiveness doesn't come from nowhere but this seems rather... harsh.

 

Whatever. Loving the new Nevada, spent my whole weekend there. The mission and mulitplayer possibilities now seem endless. :thumbup: Great update!

Holding everyone accountable for a few negative posts creates resentment. This is something they tried in elementary school… hold the individuals accountable.

Has nothing to do with Early Release and Alpha stuff, its about being shown features not even in an open version yet and saying cringe worthy stuff about it. Just asking people to be respectful, and when its in Early release, submit constructive criticism... its very simple.

 

I know how hard ED works on this stuff, and to get dismissed, even if its by a "few" is probably pretty frustrating. Put yourself in their shoes.

 

PS some of the really ridiculous stuff you dont see...

90% of the community can't even begin to fill their shoes. They should not sweat the small minority of the negative here and thrive on the positives they hear and read about which is a very strong majority.

I don't doubt that at all. I thought I might have missed something, but again it's a small minority I am sure.

Dont sweat it too much, I just like to suggest to the minority to try and think before they post. Need a reminder from time to time ;)

 

I know most of you really appreciate it... And I appreciate most of you ;)

You would only be in trouble if its ever against the rules to post F-16 vids ;)

[mvsgas]

lol, so I don't have to think?

win!

Yes indeed!! :thumbup:

[ebabil]

i hope this will be implemented soon or later

 

[shagrat]

You bet we do! This is an awesome feature, as are all the new tweaks and details in the latest patch.

 

Great progress during the last year, and still more to come.

[Aginor]

Couldn't try it out myself yet, but for anyone who did here's a question:

Do lights like the UH-1's search light or the M-2000C's landing light now light up water?

 

With ED working on all that light stuff I just don't want to believe they are doing shining eye-candy and missing out on the important gameplay features again. So anyone who can confirm that works now?

 

EDIT: I noticed this post reads more negative than it is. I like that they expanded the map and I like what I see on most screenshots. But y'all know I am the Gameplay Guy and I want to see gameplay features advancing, which is why I am asking. :)
