Gunny Highway Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Is it safe to assume there will be no more 1.5/1.5 OB updates? Seems a little counterproductive, especially for third party modules.

Buzzles Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 2.0 went without updates for months, while 1.5 kept receiving updates. ED have just changed focus for now. Personally, I'd rather they focus the effort on 2.1 -> 2.5 and get the unified branch out. It can't come soon enough, as ED themselves know. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

Sverre Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 In the newsletter: "In parallel to DCS World 2.1, we are also creating the next update for DCS World 1.5." https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/newsletters/newsletter02062017.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny Highway Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 So fixes/changes/updates are being created as we speak for 1.5 despite its nearing obsolescence? Seems like a fool's errand, unless ED realizes that 2.5 is further away than we all thought/hoped.

OnlyforDCS Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 1.5 will still be maintained until 2.5 takes over. This. It's still the official release version, and the only way to currently play on the Caucassus map. Even if it's coming out soontm Eagle Dynamics need to maintain it. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

Art-J Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We know that 2.5 will come after reworked Caucasus is ready, and that one was put a bit on hold lately with all the Normandy project. So the merge is most likely months rather than weeks away. Although I'd like them to spend most of resources on improving 2.1 and preparing for the merge, it would be a bummer to have 1.5.6 without at least WWII asset pack and aircraft fixes for a couple of upcoming months, especially when 2.1 is a bit too rough around the edges to become the most popular version - for the time being at least. So roll on any updates for 1.5.x, I'm looking forward to these as well. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

mkiii Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think it may be a very long time before I delete my install of 1.5. In a way, I hope it doesn't get updated too much, since it works pretty well atm. Of course, some of the newer "alpha/beta" modules need work, but DCS World 1.5 is ticking along nicely, whereas 2.1 is still in need of a lot of attention, and has done since 2.0 first came out, and no doubt once we get 2.5 (alpha) it will take an equal amount of time to perfect it. By that time of course, we will begin the whole cycle again, with new aircraft and more updates. The problem really is that with certain paid modules only working on 2.x, people expect to be able to use them, even though the whole thing is in Alpha. This has muddied the waters, and skewed peoples expectations a little I think. Remember the confusion caused when the Viggen was only available on the Beta release...
