DCS A-10C Screen Shots - 16 Aug 2010

[Glowing_Amraam]

Just a minor info regarding my promo (which i was planning on releasing this month), i am going to have to delay the promo, due to these changes. Nothing major, just want the movie to be all it can be, without glitches etc. :)

[Nate--IRL--]

That is understandable GA, still looking forward to it.

Oh man I hope you dont have to re-shoot it all in DX11... I am sure the wait will be worth it though. Keep up the good work.

let's get some leavu2 or going, who is running this show :D

[Glowing_Amraam]

Thanks for understanding guys, and no, i dont have re-shoot everything ;)

Some of the scenes are "too awesome" to re-shoot anyway :D

[Rodney]

Wow the screenshots look awesome, can't wait for this one. :pilotfly:

No worries man; you do a hell of a job and the screenshots are doing enough marketing.

 

The old addige "All good things come in time" applies.

Those are not hog studs in the A-10 pipeline. They are UAV weenies. They use the desktop trainer for familiarization purposes (HUDs, sensors, etc.)

DX11?! What? Who? When? :huh:

[diveplane]

DX11?! What? Who? When? :huh:

 

LMAO AM STILL ON DX9 not many games took advantage of dx 10

 

hope the sim still covers older cards.

[sobek]

I don't know of any DX11 game that is not backwards compatible with DX9, so this would be quite a bold move to let down DX9 users.

[MTFDarkEagle]

dx11 is backwards compatible to dx10/9. So no worries ;)

[topdog]

Depends what the software asks for, and requires. If it requires feature 'X' and it's not available, then it's up to the software (not DX) to choose whether to provide some fallback capacity or not, it won't happen for you.

 

Sometimes these missing features just get supressed and the software will carry on, albeit with some likely anomaly or glitch.

 

This was evidenced recently in BS1.0.2 upgrading some of its code from being DirectX9.0 compatible, to DirectX9.0c, without a fall-back for an older card that isn't supporting all of its features.

 

Until we're told (or find out) just what use of DX11 is going to be taken advantage of -and/or- required, it's just speculation for now though either way.

 

 

Edit:

I guess I should state, that the backwards compatibility that DX does (mostly) provide, and without ISV developer interventions, is that using DX11 and/or a card with these features, will still be able to play a DX9 game, because the DX9 interfaces will still be present and provided when the game asks for them.

 

There was just a slight 'oops' in this area when Vista came out, and its own DX10 didn't have a FULL DX9.0c set of interfaces and needed patching. But still, that's the direction the backwards compatibility is provided in from MS/DX itself, it's not to let cards that are DX9 compatible 'work' with DX11 feature sets and software. That's entirely up to the ISV developer as mentioned, ED in this case.

OMG!!! Can't wait... I am a huge fan of free fall bombs and seeing some of those payloads. LGB's paveways, JDAMS, Mk 82 3 packs oh my.

 

Dropping bombs are like pooping droplets of bad days on someone.

[kingneptune117]

man, i just wish someone would offer us a good, deep explanation of this Dx11 thing. All of the sudden they just hopped onto the Dx11 scene, which barely anyone is on yet. Not that im complaining, im gonna take advantage of dx11, just want to know how it will affect gameplay, what kind of graphical additions are made possible my it, etc.

"DirectX 11! What to expect?"

[Sticky]

"DirectX 11! What to expect?"

 

That is very misleading. Kingneptune is more right, we dont know anything until someone at ED tells us a little more about what new features the dx11 version of DCS:WH will have, which is not the same thing as what new features dx11 is capable of.

[sweinhart3]

Even with DX11 it may look almost exactly the same as the DX9 version. It opens up more possibilities for ED to enhance the visuals but unless they add those features, it could just be functionality upgrade for future development. There was a lot of talk awhile back that DCS:WH would use the same engine as BS, but with them moving to DX11 and 64bit, seems to me its more new than the same, or at least headed in that direction.

[Callsign.Vega]

Going to DX11 is a good thing. DX11 cards will be going on two years on the market soon, not like it's a huge surprise.

[RipKirby]

Two thumbs up for DX11 and 64 bits. We will be using the sim for years to come and it's a great start.

off topic, but has there been any word, release, news, or even rumors on a directx 12?

[topdog]

I haven't yet heard of it, but I don't doubt it'll come unless MS get twitchy about using numbers and just call it a different name. Sometimes they do, and then you get things like 'XP' and 'Vista' before the twitchiness wears off again :)

[Silent Warrior]

DX11 or not, that looks like my 9600GT just ain't gonna hack it... And when I get a new plank, I'll be able to play Dragon Age at full tilt! Yay!

 

... Uh, right, this is DCS. Um... :D
