Comstedt86 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Will you be working on / improving the FSR implementation? From my understanding FSR 3 offers DLAA alternative for AMD, Intel & non nVidia RTX cards along with better upscaler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been stated many many times before that Steam requires a solid release date (or at least very accurate release window) before it allows listing. ED doesn't have anything to do with that. As long as HeatBlur doesn't have a pretty good idea when their Phantom will be ready, it won't be listed on Steam. 1 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorback Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 News from ED : New units will be available in 2024 that will range from World War II to modern day. Each unit requires thousands of man-hours to create and will be provided as optional packs at their highest levels of detail. I understand that if I want the new 3D models I will have to pay for it, like for the WWII assets pack? This one shot will become a standard in DCS ? We're moving towards a game with two levels of modeling... What can be expext in the future ? You want a better vegetation : you have to pay for ? You want nice new buildings : you have to pay for ? Sorry, and this is my personal opinion, but if confirmed, I'm very disappointed by this kind of policy (even if I totally understand that ED need money to continue the development of our favourite simulation game). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) ^ How else do you want them to finance further development, though? Subscription is off limits, increasing cost of all the modules globally is not great too. Selling individual packs sounds like the best compromise to me. I don't care about modern units, so will settle with lower detail ones just fine, but at the same time I'm OK with paying for more vintage units, as this is where my main interest is. Everyone will purchase strictly what he's after. Edited January 12 by Art-J 8 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Qiou87 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I would be interested to know if the planned system for the high res assets will also make its way to the WW2 assets pack, with low def versions in game by default and paying customers seeing high res ones. It would be a game changer for WW2 if the assets weren’t a barrier to entry anymore. 6 AMD R7 5800X3D | 64GB DDR4 3200MHz | RTX 4080S 16GB | Varjo Aero | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk3 + STECS + pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, people can tryout allmost everything for free 28 days a year Heck, if you plan well, you can pretty much fly FF modules the entire year, for free I know, ED knows best how to run their business and I'm certainly all for paying for work. I however strongly agree with @Razorback that asset packs, in order to be able to see better quality models (or maybe even see models at all) are not a good way forward. I think I'd rather even see that "out of the question" monthly subscription (I know that's not going to happen).

Sincerely, the last fixes to the replay system left it completely useful for my needs, allowing me to refly a mission from external view for recording videos, so further refinements are not really critical for me. This will be a great feature, looking forward to them. This is great news, I will of course purchase every optional pack that you release, both to enjoy the more detailed assets, and to show up my support to DCS, but its nice that the MP crowd will not have grounds to complain about the optional packs "splitting up the community" I look forward to this, but my dearest wish is if it would be possible to have different weather over different map areas. This is not really an important aspect for my kind of DCs flying, so I don't really care about its schedule. looking forward to any ATC improvement, as it is an important aspect of solo flight. I actually enjoy the current GUI, and would just like some polishing up, like adding an illustration to the mission list, like its done with the campaigns. Lets hope the new GUI doesn't sacrifice power for increasing its appeal to newcomers. looking forwards to trying these, as I enjoy the training aspect of DCS I'm really looking forward to the MiG-29, hopefully all this missile tuning won't delay it. Honestly, I don't really care that much about ECM, or crypto-comms ... but I'd love to have a working IFF system, as it has a much more important effect on simulating actual aerial combats.

Schlingel mit Kringel Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Great to see lots of work planned on core and assets apparently. This is very much needed and appreciated. I am super okay with what seems to be low-poly free assets with optional high-poly update packs for sale - core and assets do not grow on trees and do not develop themselves, so i find this a good solution. Maybe also think about delivering new modules with only a default livery (maybe one per operator country, with only appropriate base colors and without any squadron insignias nose/tail art) and produce livery packs for sale. Those could be themed for a certain nation and time frame and include all the different historically accurate squadron paint jobs. I would totally get some of these if they were historically accurate and come without any fictional ballast.
