DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
I distinctly remember forum posts stating those who purchased the original beta will get the Nevada terrain free when it was finished. If this is not the case then frankly i am going to be as annoyed as all others who purchased the early A10 beta.

 

You might remember that one:

3- Nevada map. This will be compatible with A-10C, Black Shark 2, and FC3. Users that purchased the A-10C beta will get this map for free.

 

which you find here

Memphis, you keep rambling that Nevada was NOT a pre-purchase feature. Nate, a member of ED testing team, clearly stated the opposite.

You keep saying that prepurchasers are NOT entitled to a free Nevada map. Nate said that prepurchasers WILL get a free Nevada map.

 

And Nate posted this yesterday.

 

THAT.

 

this is not true.

 

I said that Nevada is free for purchasers, as Wags has stated in his roadmap...I didnt ever said somethings else.

And Nate by the way is saying the same as I do. Navada is free for those who bought A-10C while it was in beta...but Nevada nontheless was never part of the product itself (and the final product is the one that matters here)...this is a huge different

No. It was originally a feature of the A-10 product. It was removed from A-10 feature list when A-10 was released. But people had already pre-purchased A-10 with the expectation of Nevada. As such their expectation of getting Nevada will be honoured. People who did not pre-purchase A-10, will not get Nevada for free.

 

Why should you get Nevada for free?

 

Nate

 

What have I said over all the posts? have I said somethings else than he did? No!

 

by the way...only official announcements are things that count...

Wags wants to be fair to all of you, but those decisions are not made by Wags AFAIK.

I assume Wags (and Nate) does not write something on a public forum which wouldn't already be agreed upon within ED.

So, if Wags writes that prepurchasers will get Nevada for free, I assume this is an official ED opinion on this matter.

 

It would be quite problematic for ED's public relations, maybe even devastating for ED's reputation, if an official team member would give public promises which ED does not intend to keep.

Where is everybody getting the idea that things have changed in this regard?

 

Nate

 

Time is running, so as the memory... And fear increases because ignorance gains terrain.

I assume, of course, that outsourcing 3D engine (I.E. Frostbite 2 or Outerra) is not cost-effective for ED business plans.

 

It is not practicable.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Probably too much processing overhead for a flight simulator.

 

In any case, too much work overhead for the devs. They'd work ED into bankruptcy

To be exact: it is not "part of" EDGE. It is implemented using EDGE.

 

Important difference.

Sorry, I don't want to read all 100 pages of messages - but what is that nevada map / terrain?

 

Is it an complete new terrain for DCS, are there any other terrains currently under construction?

 

Desert would be great, but also a more detailed mountain / canyon area.

It's new the Nevada map/terrain in a new engine called EDGE currently in development.

 

Is it an complete new terrain for DCS?

No and yes.

 

Are there any other terrains currently under construction?

Officialy no.

 

You might be able to invade Las Vegas, zigzag a cactusfield with a jeep or crash yourself in the atombomb testinggrounds near Groom Lake yes.

those are 3 pages and you can see something interesting about Nevada.

The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Come on ED, teeny tiny, little information, please!

Multitasking, 64-bit, Whole earth WGS-84 model (no more flat coordinate system)?

There is no update about EDGE in Official Updates since 05-12-2012!

Let's fly together for the sake of peace :)

yeah, but the thread is closed - I assume they stopped working on it.

agreed, this is very strange. I dont understand why they keep us uninformed.I really think that EDGE was a little too much, or they droped it because of all the DCS World improvements they made.

 

ED, is it really too much expected if we want to know whats going on there? Come on, say somethings!!!

I think they still have it on the agenda, but theres other stuff on the list more important most likely. But insiders said that alot already in many words, the only method left is to bring the news like Hanibal Lector would do.

Work continues on EDGE. When updates are sufficient enough announce you should see something...no timeline though.
