Aginor Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I hope it will be either a big Normandy news update (including ground untis and all that stuff) or an update on the Hornet progress today...

OnlyforDCS Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Looks like I came back a year too early for 2.5 :) Normandy is higher priority it seems than unification. As long as we're speculating, I hope a fixed 1.5.6 makes it to release today.

sniperwolfpk5 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I don't know but what I think 2.5 should be the highest priority. As they will get rid of multiple builds and free some resources. Are there any specific reasons? Win10, Intel 3rd Gen.

PicksKing Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The chance for normandy prepurchase or anything about 2.5 just decreased. A new A-10C campaign will be released instead.

If I am correct campaign releases have no bearing on the progress of updates to the core itself. We could see something as far as updates to 1.5 and/or 2.0 in addition to the release/updates to campaigns.

Pikey Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I seem to remember 1.5 OB causing a massive split whilst people were playing happily on 1.2 live with great frames and the other half were on 1.5OB suffering various complaints - or the exact opposite depending on CPU/card drivers etc. Ed haven't followed typical release profiles and versioning to date and there no reason to suspect they will start to do it now either, but I think they would like to not give us four versions of the application, so let's just not worry too much about what the name of the beast will be. Can we remember how they released 1.5? Im not sure maybe like that. Yea i know wishful thinking :) ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Let's be fair, 2.0 unified nothing, it isolated itself and got dated fast. Caucasus doesn't work on it, everything else is in development and not released, it's on it's own. It's intention was to unify. Caucasus 2.0 getting finished to get into the OA stream should simply mean 2.0 going to the live stream, but instead there's a further devlopment stream way down the line with more features and somehow we are all sold on 2.5 before 2.0 even arrives. I understand theres a bunch of light effects and new things to come, but the roadblock to them is Caucasus 2.0 and 2.0 going live. :huh: 2.0 already unified everything except Caucasus which will just be a map like NTTR or Normandy, when it has been upgraded to the new engine. So the unification is already done. Hence why the number changed from 1.x to 2.x. 2.5 (which is a smaller step, reflected by the number change behind the dot) "just" adds some new stuff like new graphic effects, which would probably need some public testing, but more than a few weeks or months at most. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please someone correct me if Im wrong, but as I understand it the Normandy map will predate 2.5. This is how it was stated by Wags, the last time the subject was mentioned in the "news" section of the forums. I know everything is subject to change but this appears to be clear. As far as I can make out from what has been said so far: The Normandy map will be released to some sort of 2.X version, probably in an alpha state. Which will mean that both Nevada and Normandy will share that release branch. Then at a later date the Caucasus map will be integrated from 1.5.X to 2.5 which at that point will have the ability to host all three maps.

I understand theres a bunch of light effects and new things to come, but the roadblock to them is Caucasus 2.0 and 2.0 going live. 2.0 isn't isolated. It is the most advanced branch of DCS and recieved all the framework stuff that is needed to make things like multiple maps possible. I think you underestimate what has been achieved with 2.0, which is not suprising, because most of it works in the background. 1.5 is what is outdated and will be dropped soon.

Then at a later date the Caucasus map will be integrated from 1.5.X to 2.5 which at that point will have the ability to host all three maps. That's correct as well, although not phrased very well, because it gives the impression, that the 2.0 to 2.5 upgrade will provide the ability to incorporate all three maps, which is not quite correct. It is the Caucasus map that needs to be upgraded (to the new terrain engine) to fit into 2.x.

Neldrion Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think most of the hype here in this thread is more of a funny running gag thingy. Most of the comments are so ridiculously funny you can't take them seriously (my posts here for sure are ridiculous :) Quote Vedexent: The technical term for an over ambitious ground attack pilot is "dead". Quote SiThSpAwN: I figure 1.5 will have to buy some roses and chocolates, take 2.0 to a nice restaurant, and if it opens doors and is a gentleman, 1.5 and 2.0 might just get to merge one day.

ApoNOOB Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 one more week of nothing... Sorry I really have to stop myself from saying something mean here... :D Are we looking at the same patch notes? Release of Viggen? New campaign? I am sorry that the very specific thing you want above all (whatever that may be) is not in todays patch notes. But that are your own expectations and since we don't have any announced releases pending they seem pretty misplaced anyway. :) Updating right now, this is a good day! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well I for one am happy. Viggens to hunt and try to catch (they are fast!) in the realase branch, yay! Also great fixes for the M2000C which has become my primary jet lately. It seems to have lost performance, but this is probably a lot more realistic, which is as it should be.
