Krippz Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Are you going to use the Tesselator in DX11? I always thought it was the potential holy grail for LODs in flight simulators... You mean tessellation? Well if they are indeed going to the DX11 API then yes I would assume that you will see tessellation in action if you have a DX11 card.

Toadster Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) I've had my ATI 5870 for a few months now and I absolutely love it! This DX11 news makes me even happier about DCS A-10C, just when I thought that I couldn't be more ecstatic about it! Top that glee filled joy off with the soon to be released TM Warthog, and "By the Power of GreySkull", I will be in my own version of heaven...

TKMR Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Glad to hear about the upgrade to DX11, and the shots look great!

Aeroscout Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well, this helps me justify the money spent on some new parts for my rig! (i7 870, Radeon HD 5770, ect.) This is looking quite amazing, loving the soft shadows. The lighting looks great too. Don't know much about DirectX11, but so long as it's backward compatible, I'm happy (not that I have anything to worry about) This has me much more excited than the shark did. fingers crossed for a release this year. Aero DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71st_Mastiff Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I concur I feel opengl is far more 3-D'ish than DX. At least I see distance more easily in opengl then DX.

leafer Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We are currently in the process of converting to DX11, so aspects of the game are not looking so great during this transition. Huh. So my good looking is actually not looking so good? Just thinking out loud because those screenshots are yummy but Matt doesn't think so. :pilotfly: I wasn't surprised about DX11. I didn't know but I wasn't surprised because ED have a habit about springing unannounced features on you. We hound them and critizise them then BOOM we get Flank 2.5 free. Been like this forever. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smoke charge is so you can see where it lands not so you know where to recover it from. You can't reuse them, they deform after most impacts. Very cool wags, thanks for the update.

Distiler Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Very nice! -Wich specific features of dx11 are you going to use? tessellation for terrain? multithreading? physics calculated through shaders? -Will this dx11 engine bring any kind of optimization (quality and/or perfomance) for dx9 and/or dx10 graphic cards?

Sticky Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Wags wrote when the game is looking good again. Note the word "again". I think there will be no dramatic visual updates, and the reason Matt doesnt want to post videos yet isnt because the game will look much better in DX11 but because some graphical effects are broken right now and it looks not so good anymore right now. And them switching to dx11 does not mean they will use this or that dx11 feature, for example it doesnt guarantee they will use tesselation, so until they tell us what dx11 features the dx11 version will use, dont assume anything about particular dx11 features. My point is the dx11 version will probably look and perform almost exactly like the dx9 version, and im saying this even though I have a dx11 graphics card, im just trying to be realistic. An engine switch this late in development has the risk of being just symbolic + bugs + instability. But hopefully someone at ED will tell us more about the changes, but until then realise this switch doesnt have to mean much at all for this release of DCSWH. In a couple of other dx11 releases I have tried the dx11 version is so unstable I had to switch back to dx10 to be able to run it without crashes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Sim/Game CV: Falcon 1,3,4.
