wilbur81 Posted Saturday at 02:52 PM Posted Saturday at 02:52 PM My friends. It just must be said, so I'll say it: DCS has never looked more beautiful and run so well on my modest (by DCS standards) system! Well done to the whole team! With so many modules and features, both current and upcoming, it's easy to miss the incredible progress they've made over the past several years. Seriously, I was flying around the Iraq map on a mission at sunset the other day... Absolutely stunning! Thanks for all the work, team! You are the golden age of military flight sim, PERIOD. 8 i7 8700K @ Stock - Win10 64 - 32 RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC - 55 inch 4k Display
Czar66 Posted Saturday at 02:56 PM Posted Saturday at 02:56 PM True. I often have breathtaking moments through the visuals and immersion. It is an experience like no other I can have with any game. The maps are also looking better and better. 3

ARM505 Posted Sunday at 04:06 PM Posted Sunday at 04:06 PM (edited) I was describing DCS to a colleague today, who has some knowledge of commercial flight simulators. He was seriously impressed by the breadth and detail of what he heard. I think we sometimes forget the amount of work and detail that's been crafted into this over what by now is many years of work. Sure, we all have our pet bugs that bother us, but it's incredible how far it has come, and how much is on offer. Congrats to ED. Edit to add: I checked my forum joining date to remind myself: November 2004. It's come a long, long way. Edited Sunday at 04:08 PM by ARM505 4

I fully agree, and I'm reminded of this forgetfulnes each time someone complaints on this forum about "dated looks" or "when such and such module will get a facelift?" or "that asset looks like it came straight from Lo-Mac" 4 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Dragon1-1 Posted yesterday at 10:00 AM Posted yesterday at 10:00 AM That might be because quite a few notable assets still look like they came from LOMAC (because they did). It's being worked on, at least, I'm really glad the S-3D got new visuals. DCS is a wonderful sim, but consistent it's not. That said, if you set up your missions with new stuff only, on one of the latest maps, it does look properly stunning, and replacements for the old stuff are trickling in. 1
Weta43 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago It truly is a work of art (science, mathematics and organisation) Easy to forget & focus on the gripes, but it's come so far since the LOMAC days in all regards 1 Cheers.
