...lazy question:

Apart from clouds and propellers -

are there other not module-specific features, that come with 2.7?

 

we will have a long list in the patch notes once we post it.

 

thanks

If you check the patch notes, they're usually posted around 16:00 UTC. So, three hours to go.  

 

Of course, there's no guarantee the pattern will hold for this one, but I'll have to wait for Steam to get on with the program, anyway.

If they're really voxels, I might fear some... voxels are calculated on the CPU and mine is bottlenecking my 1080 already in DCS. But we will see, I'm rather confident

 

Nope, voxels are not calculated on Cpu unless they move within themselves or you stir them (like tornado). The display of voxel is purely GPU, thanks god, and internal movement is usually faked with masking animated textures that say where cloud is transparent and where it's not. You can move a whole cloud with GPU as well. You simply don't want to stir the clouds - that's currently CPU only, but some engines start to support real time fluid animation equations on GPU.

Improved structural damage for the WW2 DM was on the list at one point. Possibly some more improved graphical effects are comming too.

Don't mind me, just posting to see when 2.7 is out.

I haven't started "Update DCS World Open Beta" these many times in a day ever before. I don't know why but it's something special with this patch!

I've dumped mirage 2000 module because of that. Razbam refunded without problems.

According to "a" source it's a 12GB patch. Don't know how reliable this is but sounds about right...

 

I think it depens also on how many modules and maps (they say that The Channel and Sirya goes to relaese so probably they include some changes and when there's a change in a map You redowload pretty all the map.....).
