Beirut Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I'd happily trade the Mosquito and the Mi-24 for the new clouds. But then I might end up with all three. Love me some DCS! Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Lurker Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I'm getting real impatient. I wasn't this excited for an update since EDGE and DCS 2.0 came out. Where are our new clouds?

I can only speculate about the gaming industry, but I'm part of an engineering team which delivers software to commercial customers and if there is a Q1 deadline for a test/final release version, this usually means the end of March. Of course, internally you plan for unforeseen circumstances so it is usually more or less ready by mid-March, but we'll have to wait and see. I'm also hoping they release the clouds on March 1 1

I'm also hoping they release the clouds on March 1 I do believe that it has been stated the new clouds are already complete in their first phase. Also when all the new vids come out showcasing the new product, it usually means that they are in a more a ore or less fit state to release. So I am guessing early March. 1
Hoirtel Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Going on the news released, the clouds are part of a larger update (2.7?) and is planned for release in Q1, so by the end of march is their plan. I guess it could slip. It happens.

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 They are hoping for "end of march" now. Don't hold your breath fellas. It will be awesome when it comes, but we are in for many, many weeks of waiting still.
JABO2009 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Has ED mentioned anything about the performance impact we can expect from the new clouds / weather ? would be really interesting to hear a few words on that topic .. Intel I7 - 10700 K @ 3,80GHz / 64 GB DDR3 / RTX 3090 / Win 10 Home 64 bit / Logitech X56 HOTAS / HP Reverb G2 Running DCS on latest OB version
REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 It has been commented a few times yes. 1: The are "optimized and do not... require a "monster pc" (Kate) 2: The DCS requirements will NOT change, save for the fact that Win 7 will not be supported (Big Newy) It is worth noting that modern games very often have volumetric clouds and still good performance. In DCS competitor in the civial aviation (no names named), the clouds are not the biggest performance hitters (textures, polygons etc are much worse). 3
Jafergon Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) The more I see the more I'm impressed by how realistic the new clouds are looking. However, we still haven't seen any night time pictures. I wonder how will they look under the light of the moon for example. Edited February 28, 2021 by Jafergon 2

gdotts Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 EVERY UPCOMING MODULE from DCS and all the other developers are waiting to release their modules contingent on seeing just how clouds are going to affect their product. Which means tons of waiting on our part and no insight. Especially from DCS..... so the whole hold up is DCS!!!

Shazzer Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 I am concerned that VR performance will tank with the new clouds.....Any graphics performance improvements to help offset this? New clouds look amazing btw! Not complaining
