Also, a lot of people just find steam gauges, iron bombs, and getting up-close and NoE to hit your target more interesting than punching in coordinates and dropping murder bots from 30k ft, 20nm away

Hi all,    we have made it very clear the date is subject to change, internal testing continues and if we need more time we will take it, I think most of you want 2.7 to be the best it can b

I'm sorry to nitpick, but DCS is so much more than a game ... it's the best flight Simulator available to consumers 🙂

We had two new devs join the viper team, they have to get up to speed on the code and learn the vipers systems.

The TGP work is a lot of work on its own, the mavs are in progress but not ready for public.

 

thanks

There's no hate. Some legitimate impatience though. Keep in mind ED told us in April that MAVs are just around the corner. In May they said it wasn't delivered due to one new dev. Now it's August and two new devs. I mean, really?

 

you should ask yourself, was this before or after everyone started working from home due to CoVid ??.

I see, someone probably said the B-Word rdlaugh.png

When the team said they'd be due end of April, the bog roll apocalypse was rolling for almost 3 months already (though about half of that on measures), and the "full" Russian lockdown began early in April IIRC. I wouldn't put this alone as the reason, as there have been many like new devs getting into the stuff (and yes, that takes a lot of time, but eventually will pay up), the 256 performance apocalypse, the "we'll just fix issues first" decision and probably others as well. And TBH, after 4 months, another one doesn't really matter that much anymore. Take your time, I'm sure we'll be getting other interesting things to play with. And yes, I do want those Mavs on the Viper ASAP as well.

Some of you regulars should know by now that we plan and we do our best, but everything is subject to change. 2020 has been a difficult year for many, and teams are working from home still. As soon as the mavs are ready for the viper we will release them, not before.

 

with that said please keep the discussion here for the news letter

 

thanks

I know this isn't the newsletter, but news though, and some very great indeed:

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=283382

 

Thank you guys for making it possible to give us the map tomorrow already. Having the "September 30th" deadline from Growling Sidewinder's Nick Grey interview in mind, this comes very early, surprisingly. A very pleasant surprise.

 

I'm definatly trying out the other sim today, but I'll sure fly over Israel/Syria/Lebanon/Turkey in DCS tomorrow and be amazed of the quality work that's been put in there.

 

Just as a side note: Watched the

just a few hours ago and was wondering how detailled it would be in the other sim. Well, bing maps doesn't have 3D photogrammetry for Haifa, and we can do our mil ops only in DCS... salute.png

That other hypothetical bit of software should finish downloading in time for a few quick fly-overs of a couple locations of interest today. Had to pay top dollar to get the right airports, but what the heck.

 

 

Tomorrow I'll be over Syria, and I'm really looking forward to it. That will become my map of choice for a while.

Definitely!! So am I... Except if it struggles too much in VR, given the very high level of details... Fingers crossed for a proper optimization in that way!!!

Well, in the video description of Monday late evening, probably just a few minutes before the news went up:

 

Coming August/September 2020
But even then rainbowdashwink.png

I guarantee, no matter how much it struggles, it will run better than the other sim, which is worse than the early 2.5.6 versions at least for me, literally a massive stutter-fest even on low settings - reminded me of trying to fly DCS 2.5 on a 3.5Gig video card... I think I get why they didn't include VR in the first place dealwithit.png

 

-------- Edit: -------------------------------------------------

 

Didn't want to kick off an OT discussion about other products here. Sorry for that. Just wanted to emphasize that even with lots of room for improvement, we really should appreciate how well DCS actually runs. Getting the "initial 2.5.6 OpenBeta" experience somewhere else on a released product is kinda... relieving icon_redface.gif

 

Looking forward to flying in the Levant with something that does more than just a few canots rainbowdashwink.png

@Eldur: you mean the new sim that almost sounds like Bright Stipulator? I haven't tried, but I heard VR should come towards the end of the year (prolly after it's been optimized more for X-Box).

It was added to the changelog in error, removed now. New liveries will come in a future patch.

 

thank you
