Yea, context in which the comments are made.

 

Additionally, we are all pretty much treading water, so to speak, till there are new patch notes to discuss

It is.

 

A reminder for all, please keep discussion here for patch notes, I will delete off topic posts.

 

We are still planning for a patch at the end of the week, however we have some issues to resolve before we can. We will let you know more soon.

 

thanks

update

 

2.5.6 when to update. I'm putting it off right now

2.5.6 when to update. I'm putting it off right now

 

You will know when 2.5.6 is released, by either an Eagle Dynamics newsletter, official update statement, or when you open DCS it will pop a message up on the main menu stating that 2.5.6 is available for update (most likely if you are using OpenBeta). Or lastly, if you have the updater check each time you boot DCS, then it will ask you. Other than that - everything else will be conjecture.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Hi all,

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Being on the east coast of Australia that will probably mean 3-4am Saturday morning here. I am so looking forward to what ED brings to the core features of DCS World in 2020. Bring it on. :cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc:

hardworking devs

 

DEVELOPERS AND THE REST OF THE ED STAFF!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!

 

What is ridiculous is the people who are not appreciative of the hard work and dedication you all are putting into this SIM. Each month the sim experience gets better and better. Sure, there are a few bugs that get missed here and there. However, when they're critical - you guys are on point and quickly get the resolution out to the community.

 

ED/DCS World has given me the opportunity to create a fun YouTube channel with content that I enjoy and have an extreme interest in. The complexity and realism the sim provides is so awe inspiring when you stop to think that this is still only a small glimpse into the world of real aviators and military operators. Without your efforts, we'd still be on "the other guys simulators" which simply don't make par.

 

I have said it before and I will say it again. You all are doing a fantastic job. I can't imagine what a pain in the ass some of these features are to develop and then listening to 'some people' complain that your efforts aren't good enough. That has to get hard to read/hear after awhile. I'm pretty sure I speak for the MAJORITY of the DCS World community when I say Thank You for all that you do! Keep up the great work and we'll continue to be patient and appreciative.

 

We are all very excited about the features that we have been made aware of. Have a great week guys/gals!!

Patience of a saint.

"Gents, it's been nice knowing you...", picks up rifle, salutes and earns medals.

 

Does this mean there is terrain updates because that's normally the reason for size?

Yes we have some terrain updates, including those cheeky flying cranes :)

I am a software developer, so believe me, the release day is hell for everyone involved, including people who have to deal with the angry mob that does not comprehend nor appreciate the work involved.

 

 

By "big" he means that the patch has many changes and not its size in MB :) (It can still be big in size but that is not the cause that ED is delaying the release, unless ED has bad internet :D).

[Eldur]

Valentines DCS update :cheer3nc:

... thats better then 100 cards in the post !

 

My uneducated guess is that quite some wives will appreciate that a lot today...

 

Well, I've got that covered

 

 

 

 

So I can spend some time flying after the cake'n'cuddles and see what the update brings

[Belphe]

Great news! Thank you for your hard work!

[BIGNEWY]

Dont worry I have valentines day covered :)

 

Patch is going to be a large one, so will be a little later in the day than usual, as soon as we are ready we will post the patch notes.

 

thanks

Ah but you didnt know that, big is a very generic word, I was fishing. Size with a DCS patch means terrain because all of the texture files. Generally code is tiny in comparison, the bible is <1MB. But one texture will be more in size, so, hence the guess was on.

 

And I'm aware how software is compiled and that process will take longer if there are more files to pack in size purely. as the rate is based on disk speed as a bottleneck before the CPU.

Oh yeah, I did encounter those cranes. Good news :thumbup:
