Confused

[killerwhale]

Hi everyone, so I'm wondering why is the caucuses map not available on DCS 2. I mean I dont know which to stick with. I have to switch in between the steam version and the standalone to play what I want. that is quiet frustrating. I hear there will be a merger, shouldnt that be a priority # 1 instead of working on other projects and is this merger nearing at all?

They are upgrading that map to be compatible with 2.1, when they merge it, it will become 2.5

Merger well more like incorporating 1.5 type content in some new to be version.;)

 

Porting the map to 2.x.x.x priority no! Given the improvements in the alpha development for VR and that VR tech is likely due an upgrade soon and hardware improvements in the pipeline why potentially add more workload to the Devs modding an already stable and known 1.5 map?.

 

My thoughts YMMV. :thumbup:

Thanks for the replies, a bit off topic but is it possible to trade modules.

No you can't (and why should you?)

I don't want Nevada anymore, quiet useless for a map or a theatre

Try flying the viggen in VR low over vegas, amazing experience!

I fly 1.5 on steam and 2.1 standalone. Works without issue. I purchased everything i own on steam. From now on I'll be using the ED store. All steam keys worked on 2.1 without issues. I can't wait for the merger and the updated 1.5 map. It will look even better than it does with terrain mods.

I also think that the Caucasus map should be a priority above any module or terrain, not just because its very old and basic compared with Nevada or Normandy, but because it´s incomprehensible that this simulator needs different installers for different maps and is not unified in one product, it´s a mess and the main reason I didn´t buy Nevada or Normandy jet.

The usual complaints.

 

2.x is alpha code, as is Normandy.

 

1.5 is the only supported release version of DCS.

 

Technically, DCS is one product. The additional installers for 2.x are for people who are willing to take a look at the future of DCS, and by doing so, accept all the hassle that comes with it.

 

With respect, you need to reset your expectations.

Well, when ED tells you things like 2.5 will come at end of last year, and it doesn´t, it´s easy to have some expectations:music_whistling:

Yes, and that creates expectation, intended or not, so better say nothing.

Indeed, from some time now they are not giving dates anymore to avoid those expectations that the community can't handle.

Because of that, and also because they never hit those dates, ever. So keep showing progress and how things are going behind the scenes, that´s very good, but please, no more date guessing.

Thanks for the advice I will pass it on to ED
