Fastpants Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Wags, Many thanks for the update. Having been in and out of ED's Sims from the very beginning with Flanker 1.0, (Who else here was part of Adamski's original Flanker Ladder? :D ) it has been encouraging to see how the original vision has persisted and continues to broaden in outlook. Great stuff.. :thumbup: FP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfK33 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Dang, with the maintenance today and then the letter I have to admit I was hoping for a bit that tomorrow would not only bring the Harrier but also 2.5 But "the following weeks" sounds good enough :thumbup: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkateZilla Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The letter is great and all, but it didn't answer the questions asked, it was just sounding off about how great the WW2 aspects are, which is fine, not my cup of tea, but each to there own. We got a handful of sentences about 2.5, which didn't answer anything beyond "reaching a milestone". That doesn't answer anything, there are a LOT of milestones in engine development and game design, from what I know of the process. For all we know from the letter, it could be this time next year before they even announce a release date. I know a fair few people that would be interested in playing DCS, if it didn't look like a game from 2009. I understand that there is a separate team working on the Normandy and WW2 stuff, but as it stands, Caucasus, in my opinion, should be top priority, so much so that it pulls all teams and manpower available to working on it. Is it going to happen in 3 months? 6? A year? Or at least give us more info rather than a "reach a milestone". Ending on a more positive not, It was very interesting to learn more about the history of ED that I didn't know about. The Letter Stated 2.5 Will be released in a Matter of Weeks.

SkateZilla Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 the mentioning of Vulkan has me all excited....

_e10 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thank you so much! Hoping that implementing the Vulcan API makes it possible to create a native linux build (someday) :))) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmaclauchlan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The DCS team and associated 3rd party developers are making dreams come true for people who cannot, for whatever reason, step into these aircraft and be military aviators for real. Keep up the amazing work; I know of a LOT of loyal DCS users that are happy with how things are and the current progress.
