Officially called "Operation Diver" and the Mosquito also had a role in doing just that :joystick:

Diver being the code word for the V1.

 

 

Thank you for teaching me

 

Looking at the searchlight, I'm also wanting AI Avro Lancaster

Searchlights, parachutes and flak cannons, almost there, almost over the hill, my good old company of heroes!!!! :smoke:

Now there's a great idea for a bit of diversification for ED. Digital Combat Simulator could branch off into naval combat too, what I would give for a DCS level U-boat or Corvette with AI convoy to protect/attack. I can just see the multiplayer servers full of players in U-boats, Corvettes, guy's in Catalina's dropping depth charges on the U-boats. North Atlantic map, Mediterranean map etc. Not just WW2 stuff either.....Russian and US/British Submarines in cold war scenarios .....the list is endless. I know a LOT of Subsim guy's would jump aboard the ED bandwagon in a heartbeat if this ever came to pass.

 

Anyway, getting way off topic now....sorry. Started dreaming there!

 

Off topic - yes.

 

Know where you're coming from/ have the same dream - absolutely!! :thumbup:

 

Realistically - ED probably has more than enough on their plate with their combat aviation side, but it never hurts to dream (DCS: Atlantic 1940 - 45 :) ).

So given DCS 2.5.6 is a major branch release, do we have an indication of which new core game features (other than maps, modules or module updates) will be included with this yet? I know the list won't be finalised yet, but what is likely?

The Ju-88 is looking amazing. Be awesome if it went flyable someday! :pilotfly:

 

 

Absolutely!!

 

 

A Ju-88 was top of my list back when we got asked what we felt was needed.

The new AI version looks great. But, now that the FW190-F8 project has gone silent (*sob*), I'm back longing for a German bomber. Maybe one day?

 

 

Still, the new AI version looks great and I am really looking forward to "bombing off the wing" as we sometimes did back in the old days of a different sim.

New lighting, new damage model for warbirds... of course all is subject to change but that’s what’s expected.

I noticed in the last 2.5.6 screenshots, a significant improvement in quality reflections on sea (ships and hills reflected in 2.5.5 are more blocky). Please ED could you confirm any sort of improvement in this matter?

 

In addition, I like a lot the visble stars during night, nowadays in 2.5.5 the stars are nonexistant.

You know, let some thing be a surprise ... I can't believe some people are so impatient when it's been told it's just around the corner

We ended 2018 with a big video. Unfortunately, there was no time for such a video this december, so it is coming in January instead. :) "2020 And Beyond" :D

 

Any news?

Oooh... Good point !! I didn't noticed that at first sight, but in the first P47 pic, reflexions in the water does seem indeed much improved !

First post on page 14 in the Hornet Mini-Updates.

 

Thanks.

 

That sounds interesting, would be nice to see that come to fruition..that, and would be nice to see 3d ns430 integrated to a few more aircraft, such as yak52 and uh1
