KUDOS to the DCS World 2.2 update !!!

[Anatoli-Kagari9]

Apart from overall performance increase in my rather old i5 2500, some new effects ( explosions! ), sounds update ported from 1.5.8 and also fine tunning at least of the Spitfire rudder, I can now play the Epsom Campaign with fps 40+, where I used to get down to single digit!

 

Really glad with this update!

+1, great job guys.

[Wags]

Thanks. In several ways, 2.2 is an early look at 2.5.

[schurem]

I cant wait. 2.2 truly is the dogs gonads (English colloquial for very good indeed)

[Esac_mirmidon]

For me 2.2 in Normandy is a complete surprise in perfomance. Much much better. Even with my 1060 is running great now. Overall this update is one of the best, because the new content and changes-features,

 

So, yes, a big THANKS to ED.

[OttoPus]

Great update indeed!

[Mad Dog 7.62]

Agreed, very nice update!! Good framerates in the Rift over downtown Vegas at low altitude!

[Zimmerdylan]

Thanks. In several ways, 2.2 is an early look at 2.5.

 

 

That's exactly what I was thinking when I checked it out yesterday. Awesome update!!! Thanks all of the ED team for this. You guys made my year.....................:smilewink:

Greetings from Tucson by the way, I didn't know that you were in Phoenix.

[Sephyrius]

Agree, absolutely love it.

 

My trusty old AMD 8320 is still powering through well in 2.2 (1.5 is another story...), and my newly acquired 1070 is pushing hard and still getting pretty good framerates even at near-4k res and many maxed out settings.

 

It's absolutely gorgeous and smooth! Great work ED, can't wait for 2.5 so that everyone can submit to its buttery goodness!

[Bullitthead]

The new explosions are great!!! Thanks ED! :pilotfly:

The new explosions are great!!! Thanks ED! :pilotfly:

I like the addition of shrapnel flying around. I must have hit an underground meth lab. Also added was a camera shake on bomb impact in weapon view.

Can only echo what the other posts said. ED have outdone themselves with 2.2. Really, really nice!:thumbup:

Also in F2 view when a plane get hit by a missile :thumbup:

[Reflected]

Special kudos for the new WW2 enigne and gun sounds. A real game changer!

[Dav IRL]

I can't believe I was so into flying the harrier in 2.2 and mapping controls that I still haven't blown anything up and witnessed the new explosions. Thanks ED for your continued quality.

[Xordus]

Special kudos for the new WW2 enigne and gun sounds. A real game changer!

 

Agreed. The gun sounds were so weak before. I just watched Dunkirk and was wishing the guns sounded like that in DCS. When I logged in I was surprised to find that they now do!

 

The explosions are something I've been wanting for a looong time. Can't wait till they work for bombs.

 

I REALLY hope FLIR is the next up for a makeover.

[MileHiRyder]

I too have noticed a significant improvement in performance with this update. More fluid game play. They also finally fixed the too dark HUD with the bright green dot in the middle on the F15 when differed shading is selected. :thumbup:

[rrohde]

:thumbup: for the ED team. 2.2 is a really brilliant release and springs hope for 2.5 in the very near future!

[firmek]

I had setup a training mission on Nevada for Harrier with a few F-5 flights taking off just to add some life to the airbase while I'm starting up. The new sound is so amazing that I ended up just watching the planes making run on the runway and taking off.

The blue tint may be a personal preference but I like it as it makes the air more atmospheric. Explosion effects are really refreshing.

There is also a noticeable performance boost.

 

Many great things in one update and overall an extremely positive surprise :thumbup: Thanks ED !!!

 

EDIT:

Thanks. In several ways, 2.2 is an early look at 2.5.

I'm more than happy with 2.2. It already makes the 1.5 feel dated. If 2.5 is going to be even better than it'll be a huge step forward. More of a new version of DCS rather than "just" an extensive update.

Throwing my hat in the ring too :)... 2.2 is great :).

[Vitormouraa]

Agreed. 2.2 is DAMN beautiful! And performance is great.

[kraszus]

Haven't had a chance to update yet - Does the performance increase apply equally to Oculus Rift?

[TaxmanTom]

Agreed, it has been fantastic!

[dburne]

Certainly appears to be an improvement for me in VR.

[Aries]

Yup! Kudos for 2.2 regarding VR...

For me (i7 4790K@4.6GHz 16GB GTX970 Rift CV1 PD 1.5, 388.00 Nvidia drivers) it jumped from stutteringish 10-15 FPS to fluentish 25-45FPS (ASW)...

 

...the GTX970 simply doesn't cut it any more VR DCS-wise and a GPU upgrade is needed, but the card served me well for two years and it's actually time to say goodbye...
