Then maybe better weather effects and proper atc. I think that's probably due to the technological dept that DCS has and what the large core projects like Vulkan rendered are supposed to improve. On that note, I think I'll adjust my own wishes and say that I want to see core features mentioned in the video. Also high memory usage isn't a memory leak in the traditional sense because that would mean alocating more and more RAM before an unavoidable crash. It's just the game core working properly but working with content that it wasn't particulary designed for. 1
Hegemon12 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 It would be nice if DCS World 3.0 included all these elements: - Dynamic campaign - "Realistic" ATC - Vulkan engine - 3D Mission editor - Fully dynamic weather 8
Beirut Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I thought about it and there is only on possible worthwhile reveal... Illuminated dials in the Yak-52! 5 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Or rather so the devs start closing long-standing graphical issues. Shimmering shadows on external models, shimmering of other type, sky color banding, lighting inconsistencies. Before Vulkan gets at least "hooked in" I don't blame ED for keeping those issues at a low priority. 2 F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Beirut Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Tomorrow seems as good a day as any for the "2025 and Beyond" video. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
ngreenaway Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Maybe we'll get some of the long overdue "15th anniversary Q&A" mixed in. No? Didn't think so. Maybe we'll get it before the 20th anniversary, at least.

norman99 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if ED are just delaying the pain, and push it out as long as they think they can. Lets face it, whatever they show, there's a larger part of the user base than ever, that are disenfranchised and ready to attack ED. If they show the same assets/modules as last year, the complaints will be "nothing new?", and if they announce new assets/modules, the cry's will be "what about all the unfinished/broken ones". ED will struggle get out of this video release without any heat, no matter what it includes. 6

Vram and ram consumption is insane compared to other simulators. Then maybe better weather effects and proper atc. Yup: just yesterday I had my PC hard crash because the ME made my video card run out of VRAM (I got a prompt saying I need to check whether my system meets the minimum requirements - apparently 16GB of VRAM is not enough). If you use the unit icons on the ME to place units properly, it also loads in their liveries (which is utter insanity imo). Have enough units in your mission and your PC will hard crash (nothing I could do except press the restart-button on my case...

Not to mention lots of high quality updates. 2025 might be very good indeed. There is no way I could talk ED out of glass cockpit monstrosities on my own so at least I appreciate the work on THE CORE: 1. The fog. This is big. I didn't realize at first. What made me a believer? I recently bought Nevada map and did a few flights. Man. This map is in bad shape. But even on Nevada that fog/haze made it all look so realisitc at times. 2. The Iraq map. This is not just another patch of sand. I'm still going to avoid desert maps but on this one you can clearly see some core work goodies. It seems like ED has started working on terrain material rendering so, for example, we will no longer see a sea of green plastic where a green mooshy field should be. 3. The Phantom. Again, the core. Well, according to my own categorization. We can clearly see a greater emphasis is put on the in-cockpit immersion by what has been demonstrated with the F-5E remaster. Cockpit audio and vibrations of actual parts in the cockpit, the alive pilot model (it literally has a breathing animation loop) and others. The pace is slow but steady. The only thing I wish for 2025 is for ED to never flarify* the graphics engine. The tree performance hit and the F-5E model (?) performance hit cases being under high-priority investigation can be read as sign of ED not wanting that to happen, fortunately. Edit: And yes, I don't see the module-release crowd being satisfied with the new announcement video either. Just another argument for ED to focus on the core *DCS flarification - unacceptable performance drops due to poor implementation of a single graphical effect as seen in early DCS / late lock on years with flare trails Edited January 3 by Bucic 3 F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close

And the big surprise was the Kiowa, well made. And finally a Helicopter that doesn't kill you out of spite when you go in for a landing. I was personally very disappointed by Afghanistan, but Iraq looks quite good. And they have spent a long time on the next Afghanistan update.

Iraq looks so good and Afghanistan looks so meh!, and given that they are both ED maps, I'm certain the Afghan map will get some Iraqi-style love. Who knows, maybe that will be the secret reveal: Afghanistan 2.0 3 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
