Magic Zach Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Vulcan will allow DCS to use more CPU cores. DCS already uses two.

Does Vulcan do more than allow DCS to run on more than two cores?

hannibal Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The clouds pictured in the more recent 2.5 images are simply updated versions of the current cloud system. We think this intermediate version looks much better than what we have now, and will serve nicely as a the new cloud technology is developed. Thanks next to the release of 2.5, i am excited for a new cloud tech in the future!! 1.5 / 2.1 clear sky is getting so old. defered shading has brought life in to the DCS, i truly look forward to improved atmosphere environment, where just the simulation of a basic take off/ landing would be realistically awe inspiring. who knows, maybe we will get canopy rain, like in the cars such as project cars. it sub-conciously pains me to see all the DCS user cinematic videos made, and most video are a clear skies, then to watch real life aviation videos such as aireal refueling, and you can see relatively insignificant puff clouds, all over, which to me is part of real life! but have to say, the 2.5 screenshots running around look amazing! find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk6201 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Those pictures look great but I have GTX 750ti 2gb. will I be still able to play on medium/low settings, or at all? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Pedro= Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Those pictures look great but I have GTX 750ti 2gb. will I be still able to play on medium/low settings, or at all? Go and check Nevada or Normandy. It should be almost the same performance as it use the same technology ;) Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X | i7 9700K@5.0GHz | Asus TUF OC RTX 4090 | 32GB DDR4@3200MHz | HP Reverb G2 | TrackIR 5 | TM Warthog HOTAS | MFG Croswinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_No32 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I do have an even older Gainward GeForce GTX 680 (2GB) purchased in December 2012. Nevada works fine for me with medium settings and the Mirage 2000 or A-10C. But I also do have some concerns looking at the screenshots with the sheer amount of trees in the Caucasus map... Nevertheless, my experience tells me that DCS with either Nevada (2.0) or Caucasus (1.5) is way less demanding on the rig performance compared to other flight simulators (FSX, Prepar3D). Kudos to Eagle Dynamics! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted December 5, 2017 ED Team Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) New Images! For the updated Caucasus map for DCS World 2.5, we’ve spent a LOT of time and effort to add a lot more detail to the world. In fact, we are right against the edge of what our system memory specification can handle. This is particularly true from lower altitudes where it is more easy to see these details. This is why most of our updated Caucasus map images to date have been from lower altitudes. For today, we’d like to show off how the map looks from a nose-bleed altitudes of 20,000 feet. The biggest changes from the 1.5 map you may note are the terrain projected shadows, realistic haze, view distances, forest rendering distances and coverage, and the improved elevation mesh resolution (no more pyramid mountains).
