2024 And Beyond Video Speculations Thread

[Silver_Dragon]

GA has been giving us great surprises for years with its "beyond" videos... I don't think 2024 will be an exception, we will surely have interesting data.

[Mizzy]

Are we going to have one this year, I really look forward to this one.

I've been forwarded screenshots from an alledged leak of the upcoming 2024 video, and if this is true, there's some fantastic stuff coming. Here's some screenshots of what was forwarded to me.  Some stuff that's going to save my bacon, especially the e-shop update!

Trying to decide if I should hide as trolling. Sadly some will take it seriously.

If you find someone who takes it seriously, please send them my way.

 

I have several cans of genuine F-35 exhaust fumes for sale. Very rare, good price.

I have heard that the F-35 B has the best vintage. 

[Dragon1-1]

Just make sure to get the genuine thing, and not the crap from the lifting fan.

Hi Bignewy,

I'm genuinely sorry. The whole idea of the post was with full-hearted respect for ED and DCS while trying to add a bit of humor in the mix. I get that differences in types of humor can be lost between cultures/borders/etc, but the chances of my post being seen as trolling as opposed to the love for DCS is something I never considered, and a line I have no intention of crossing.

Good banter between family and friends is a sign of endearing respect as well as humor from my area, and it was only with that attitude that I posted this. However, since you've raised a perspective I've never considered about how the post can be perceived, I've voluntarily deleted the contents of my post to take one less thing for you to worry about. Again, please accept my sincere apologies.

Hey dont worry, I left it there as it was funny, some dont have a sense of humour that is all I was saying. 

Hope you had a good new year and enjoy the 2024 and beyond video when it arrives. 

 

[Hiob]

Now I‘m sad I missed it, before he voluntarily deleted it…. 

[Slippa]

Shame, it's the World we live in.

I saw it earlier, thanks for the chuckle, mind you, with a handle like DangerZone you should be in familiar territory.

I'd like to reinforce the idea of our accounts hiding the true nature of our purchases regarding the other half. Also, DCS is most sincerely a Sim in my vocabulary and any other description will be met with excessive derisory laughter so that's that.

Happy New Year all.

Thanks for the clarification BN. Believe it or not, I started it off originally with a disclaimer - this is a meme, not legit, but removed it thinking it was silly to have that for something so obvious and I'm probably being paranoid, but then after your post I thought "Dang - we're in a bad state when my paranoia reflects where we're really at". 

Really looking forward to the real 2024 and beyond release. Thanks for all your hard work.

It wasn't that great, but i was in one of my humorous moods and made up some fake 'screenshot images' from an aledged leak of the 2024 & beyond video.

Basically there was one that said "Soon^tm  framework was getting an overhaul and they would be releasing Soon^tm v2. More details on the new features will be released...  In the future", with a challenge for anyone to read that and not hear Andre Celeste's voice (from How I Play/HIP video's) in their head.

There was another one about Spok functionality being added to the Vulkan framework, ED changing their shop to mask real pricing of history purchases incase spouses are able to access the account, and similar quips.

To be honest I’d be very happy to see a price history masking function in the shop . Not just to mask from my wife but also myself. 
ED has pushed out too many great modules that I’m like a kid in a candy shop sometimes.

I made the mistake once of adding up all the receipts in my profile page. Never again!

It's hobby. Not even the most expensive one (not even close). Try motorcycle track racing if you want to break in tears....... 

(and think of all the hardware you probably bought DCS-related..... )

Oh, trust me... I fly in real life, and also play hockey, so I'm well acquainted with expensive hobbies

Looking at the total amount spent on DCS, surely it eclipses the $$ I've spent on any other software by far... with the possible exception of Adobe Creative Suite products going back about 20 years (which is also not a total amount that I want to be aware of).

Really though, I don't mind. I haven't done the dollar per hour enjoyed calculation but I'm quite sure it's a favorable ratio. I'm just happy that something like DCS exists and I'm eager to support them.

I have to agree. I have quite a few other expensive hobbies too, especially motorbikes! But for all the money I’ve spent on dcs - hardware, software and other bits and bobs, for the amount of sheer enjoyment and time I’ve had out of dcs over the years, it a minuscule price and worth every penny and more. Can’t say the same for everything I spent on my bikes over the years!

Slightly unrelated but what is your favourite 20xx and Beyond video of years past?  I think mine is "2021 and Beyond" that teased the new clouds and the Apache.

Please quote me in your reply so I get a notification.

Honestly, I think they're getting better from year to year. The camera work, directing, editing - one can see, how the people working on them improve their art every year.

I like 2022 slightly better than 2023, though.

(on a side note: in 2021 and 2022, when Nick was talking, I had to check if the replay speed is 1.0x....not .75 by accident....)

It's been exactly one year since the 2023 video was released (Jan 4th, 2023). I hope the wait doesn't last long

[Badger1-1]

Could today be the big day?

[Weasel]

Could today be the big day?

It‘s more likely for tomorrow, as normally they release these 20xx and beyond videos on a Friday. I expect the video for tomorrow or 12th of January. Really looking forward to the 2024 and beyond video.
