Today is the day? I will take extra F5 keys to my home from the office today.

My guestimate 1800 GMT.

According to the 'clouds', I didn't use to excite with something that I haven't touched (excepting the photos of beutiful aircraft, women and motorbikes). After I run it on my PC and check if it is working nearly well as on ED-youtube, I will be able to admire anything. As some wise guys said above, I am also (or mainly) waitiing for many fixes and I hope that another updates will focus on polishing actual and old problems, not polishing new clouds for another half of year, leaving whole the rest behind.

 

Apart of those words, I love you - ED and the work you are doing 

 

I am joining you all in waiting, wish you patience and fast transfers for next 24h

Perhaps you'll share some of these photos of beautiful aircraft, women and motorbikes whilst we wait

Ohh, there are millions of that along Insta and whole the internet, so I think you can find them very easly

Looking forward to…

[Miro]

Also, I can't wait to test the new clouds to see if they will work as well on my PC

 

[Sajarov]

Today is the end or the beginning...we will see.

Hopefully they work intensively on performance.

Wheels up today with 2.7 !!!! LETS DO THIS !

[Miro]

I have to enjoy the clouds before Mi-24 comes out, because then I will only see them from below.

[Hiob]

...but you will probably get more FPS above the clouds...

[PLUTON]

I think if ED should postpone the update
he would have already warned like 03/31 and 04/07
month I am convinced that the update is for today.

[normanleto]

They said there will be no significant drop in fps due to the clouds. These are voxel-made and in games like flight simulator or red dead redemption a similar resolution clouds take away not more than 5 fps in ultra quality (smallest voxel) in full HD. The problem starts if you play in resolutions like 4k or VR (like I do) - then I am sure the clouds will have a big impact, since voxel resolution grows in 3 axes instead of only two (as pixels do). So in 4k screen res is 4 times more pixels, but also even more voxels in clouds due to increase in screen resolution. In 4k gaming you have "times 4 times 4 times 4 more" voxels than in HD. Probably some 4k players will have to downgrade to HD resolution, which is a big problem. We will see, hopefully tomorrow...

I don't think so. We need to find another way to moisturize our butts

Good morning. Well, over here it’s midday already. Hopefully 2.7 will be released before it’s getting tomorrow in Europe.
