When Is DCS going to be Unified into ONE sim ?

[jaydee]

I spent hours Downloading "Normandy Early Access". (I am a Backer) of Luthier:clown_2:

So after a few hiccups I get "DCS Normandy" running.(And after searching Forums to Find out "What version is Compatible"?...)

So now I see a New DCS GUI. I have to Download all my Modules to It. Fine.

Now I look at the "Options" Menu. I have to do ALL of them Again.

I see ALL my controllers have Already been Bound to Multiple Axes (Again). Well done on that one ED....I know I can Delete them... and Hopefully I wont miss one.

So now I have my Spit, FW ,P51 and Have to Program "EVERYTHING" Again.

I couldnt be bothered . Too much Drama.

ED , As a Simmer, I want to support you.

My opinion is DCS is "All Over the Place". Its 1.5, its 2.0 Alpha and Beta...its 2.5 up and coming.

Why Make it so Hard to FLY DCS ?

PS Don't tell me How to use LUA files. I just want to Program my Options/ Plane Once in DCS and go Flying.

The merging of the three versions of DCS World will come with v2.5.

 

The date for that is still uncertain, but it was stated to happen "soon". It was held up while the Normandy map was finished and released, and awaits the final updating of the Caucasus map to the latest graphics engine.

 

I would suggest that the second half of the year is a realistic time line, but there really is no concrete suggestion as to when.

You don't have to set up all your controls all over again. Just copy the control config files from your c:\Users\[xxx]\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\ folder to the new normandy folder under saved games.

Yeah the merge can't happen soon enough. The first big step will be DCS World 2.1.

 

Normandy + Nevada running under one executable. This is on schedule (fingers crossed) for a late May release. Then we have to wait for Caucassus. Hopefully that will not take as long as Normandy took.

 

It's frustrating, but we have to be patient just for just a little bit longer. Hang in there :)

As with most things in DCS, it takes longer than initially projected. Enjoy the Normandy map. Us lower-tier backers have to wait for the open beta.

When 2.5 comes out I will or rather wait for 3.0 then hopefully all is complete and no bugs and more content released (Modern War Themes + Aircraft + Large Maps/World Map + Theater Dynamic Campaigns + ATC + Civil/Commercial Aviation + Tools for Community Modding as well +++ SIMPLY MORE) another 10 years at this rate and nothing can be done about it.

 

Just enjoy a good Forum Chit-Chat in the mean-time about other interests or hobbies and share stuff and wait patiently.............................

My hunch is not this year, but dont forget you CAN still enjoy DCS 2 if you are willing to put some time in with the mission editor.

At least you got Normandy. I don't have that option.

 

btw Controller bound to several axis is also in 1.56 too. Takes 30sec to fix.

[Mars Exulte]

Wags once told me, every time someone asks when it will be finished, they purposefully delay it one week. Thanks OP, I needed seven more days to save up for the inevitable module sale.

[Buzzles]

Later than expected if the new features (in game skin changes, new GUI, new server browser, etc...) that have been shown off in the custom Normandy early access version are what ED are spending their limited resources working on.

 

I know a lot of the delay is the new Caucasus map and mappers aren't programmers, but it is starting to wear a bit thin now.

[BIGNEWY]

Trust me ED wants it to happen more than anyone else, when ED are ready they will share more information.

2.0 came out on early 2016, now we are at 2.1: at this rate of updates, we have to wait another 3-4 years to see a merged 2.5... unless they decide to jump directly to it

Patience, a great virtue for sure:music_whistling:

Once Normandy is out, I am packing up and leaving 1.5 for good:)

I understand the desire to drop extra installs but keep in mind that Normandy will be released as part of the Open Alpha install. There may still be issues.
