I suspect the first public release will be a massive improvement out of the bat. The early stage you're talking about is happening right now on the developer builds. It won't be out in public before it's polished enough to get out of closed beta. Also, Vulkan is so different that some things are impossible to keep doing exactly as they were. Updating them to Vulkan will necessitate a rework, though ED had stated they had implemented ways to replicate the old functionality. The main problem with Vulkan is that it is a low level API, so it's harder to work with than DX11. 2

I *hope* you're right, but my guess is that we will get more consistent framerates over a much broader range of scenarios instead (MP and huge missions fps will be more like what we see in single payer mode today vs. a large single player fps increase).
KelGun Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 I'd love to have an ability to interface with shooter games like Arma. It would be a blast doing a TIC with a team in a realistic scenario.

Also, it would be great if there was AI atc for Private/Custom missions.
HOKUM52 Posted December 7, 2023 Posted December 7, 2023 i hope a third party does a vulcan bomber. be a novelty i know, but falklands map? iconic AC, return would be good and the legend alone would drag loads of people into the sim. just an opinion though. 1
