Northstar98 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 2.5 most definitely, if ED can deliver what's been set-up DCS will be amazing, it will be slightly easier for the third parties not having to deal with 3 versions (2 running slightly different engines). Most of all is the updated Caucasus map. I'm quite excited for the future of naval combat with the new carriers and what they'll hopefully bring - maritime aviation is really my key interest - which is why I love the Viggen as an aircraft which thrives in an anti-ship role.

iVVChewy9141VVi Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 I cant wait for 2.5 either but also the SOH. I have been big on the Hornet in FSX mostly the VRS f-18e. Can't wait for Legacy Horney

Fri13 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 What are you excited about in 2018? Fairly few things: 2.5 to offer the concealment and some cover (with some better terrain altitude map) for helicopter pilots and ground vehicles and lots of improvements to performance! Mi-24P to get released (as already teased by Wags in the F/A-18C first live video). Combined Arms -module to get lots of love (as mentioned by Wags, the old terrain was holding back it) The findings of possible Vulkan implementation to DCS (as mentioned in the December 2017 newsletter) Lots of polishing here and there for Caucasus map, like add there some randomly generated (randomly brushed) ground jitter (small bushes, rocks) and if engine supports, add some smaller elevation changes in couple meter height so rivers and such get river banks and the terrain otherwise wouldn't look so flat from low level, so that vehicles can find some high/low ground to hide, some helicopter sneaking around 10-15m height hills etc. Just adding more stuff to "open areas". i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I wonder why nobody mentioned all the new stuff we're getting along with the Hornets armament :huh: That's all lumped in to "The Hornet" for me. Same as over wing and LEX vapor, canopy rain drops, etc is all lumped in with "2.5". Tried to keep the list short and sweet.

NeilWillis Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 2nd Gen VR, 2.5 and all that will follow in it's wake, definitely the Hornet and Tomcat. And just any kind of year that's better than 2017 - boy was that year awful for everything outside DCS World!
some1 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 It wasn't a great year for DCS either. But if we get at least half of the things that we expected in DCS in 2017 which got postponed to 2018, this year will be quite good. I'm mostly waiting for 2.5.
