OperatorJack Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Does this mean yet another .exe for DCS? If so it's kind of a joke at this point /да бойз/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
razo+r Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 no it is not they will update the lighting system for DCS, not release another DCS version (well, they update it, but not give another .exe)
lazduc Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Didn't Edge have a new lighting system? Err several years ago didn't they announce a new graphics engine? I mean a total new engine? They posted several photos of the then, new lighting.... They are planning on releasing another DCS version....2.5. I cannot keep up with all the naming conventions for the patches, releases, T something..graphics, beta, alpha??? When 2.5 arrives, what will it be..early alpha with early access only for those who want to bug hunt or some other alpha/beta 2.5.xxxxx. Is ED planning on releasing a stable foundation (DCS 2.5) so a customer can purchase other titles and know that they will function correctly? I know ED checks that other third party software must meet their strict requirements or are ED planning on the good humor and long enduring patience of their customer base and release a version that is a work in progress that will require much attention.

There are three versions currently, one stable release ( 1.5) an open beta ( 1.5) and an open alpha (2.0 for Nevada). Here lately both versions of 1.5 have been running in parallel. There will be a merge coming where they will all become 2.5 - likely a stable release and open beta I suspect, we shall see hopefully sooner rather than later. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|
Coxy_99 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Lets be patient and lets wait and see....................
Pikey Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 The lighting system will be part of a development branch, how they release the development branch and into what installation - you can assume another development installation woudl be rpelaced and shunted forward into live and I'd suggest it will be part of the 2.5 you keep hearing about which will most likely be part of OA or OB. You can also guess at which installation it will replace. Dunno why there sounds to be push back on DCS development. Seems a bit silly. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
Coxy_99 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I wonder if it will get added into 2.0 alpha under terrains instead of an installer or .exe and 2.0 gets the new lighting before 1.5 or 1.5 OB maybe, So the Normandy map would just be like a module you think?
