DCS Nevada

 

Hope they Finish soon. Comes with an FC3 Quality F-18C

 

[Blaze]

All of this is already available to you if you just edit a few files and drop in the beta terrain.

 

Nothing new here folks, move along.

Lol, how long did the code take to upload with the 500 Baud? :geek:

 

Wasnt it 3 lines a minute or something? Or was that with the earliest models? 9 minutes for that code.

At least it was obvious :doh:

This is clearly purposeful misinformation by tweaking a line here and there in DCS World. That isn't an FC3 quality F-18 just the one that is already in DCS World edit one line to make it flyable but you don't get a F-18 specific pit, nor does it have the relevant systems just a SFM model and thats about it.

 

What were you hoping to accomplish by spreading this?

Bigfoot, Loch Ness, Abominable Snowman.. ur more likely to find all of this in a day than see Nevada as a finished product . :)

Gotta love the comment over at YouTube. Was gonna write something, but then I woke up and saw the light. Arguing on YT... umm, no.

Careful now, rule 1.10 applies to you too.

[upupandaway]

The only news we are going to get from now on is either about Nevada or the next jet, as no other products are officially planned for release.

As soon as FC3 and CA betas are done nothing stands in the way of an epic new experience.

Also, I would expect/guess that from now on more resources are gradually going to be available again if needed, since everything else is more or less out of the door.

Any more steampunk cockpits in the work?

[*Rage*]

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

 

Important difference.

 

Key point.

 

I think/hope there will be an Edge-nevada/caucasus/middle east/plains of europe etc

I've bought every ED product and bought TM Warthog HOTAS, combat rudder pedals and TrackIR - despite that I think they have lost me as a loyal beta purchasing customer - their behaviour over the Nevada scenery debacle has been so disappointing - are they seriously saying they can't get this achieved and instead pump resources into other projects? IT's like watching and listening to the delays on the A380 at least that was finally released!

[Gaanalma]

There are no news from 6 months?

 

I'd like to see more scenarios that airplane right now!

Yes but the radios dont work anymore in the latest DCSW uipdates, dunno about the standalone A10C.

[Blaze]

I'll look into it when I have time.

Only Nevada and future maps (if any) from ED will utilize and benefit from EDGE, current maps will not as was stated repeatedly in this thread.

[GeorgeLKMT]

I hope some sort of SDK will be released too, so 3rd parties could make another maps in future.

Nevada looks really great and I look forward to it, but it doesn't feel right to me. I mean, with Middle East or Eastern Bloc (and farther to the east) countries it's much easier to make up some conflict for campaings/missions with reasonable amount of realism, because conflicts happened in there. With Nevada, I can't think of similar east/west confrontation that could happen like in Georgia. Flankers starting from russian base in the middle of USA? Warthog going on mission to destroy Russian SAM in Las Vegas? :pilotfly:

Well, I guess Russia/USSR could invade Canada and then enter the US from the North.

 

Still would not explain why they didn't send Bears to lob cruise missiles from the sea or why nukes weren't involved though.

 

And as far as realism goes, remember that realism and fiction can coexist. That is basically what every mission/campaign not based exactly on a real mission/campaign is. Canada joining the USSR is fiction, but given that situation, you could make a realistic war.

 

I still want an EDGE version of FC1+DCSW+Turkey map more than Nevada though.

YES! You're the first person I've seen saying this. I'm tempted to get into making missions, but the starting scenario I would choose would be very outlandish, to make it interesting and different. What happens from that point onward would be realistic based on the facts supplied by the fiction.

 

Conflicts are rarely similar to conflicts that have gone before, hence hardly any scenario is unrealistic.

[Phantom88]

I believe the basis of making Nevada was it would act as a training ground.It was supposed to be released in 2010 when The A-10C was first launched in pre-purchase open beta,DCS probably wanted to stage all their training missions there similar to real life Red Flag missions which happen through-out the year outside Las Vegas at Nellis AFB.

[112th_Rossi]

I would love to see a Libya/North Africa map. /dreams.

I can sympathize as I did somezthing similar when A-10C came out. Sometimes it´s frustrating, especially the lack of even the smallest update within 6 months, but that´s irrelevant in the end. This time I managed to resist FC3 for 2 whole days - a new record as I usually buy everything within 12h of release ^^

...and I can´t even play anything right now becaue I have no time. :(

 

P.S.: Are there going to be cows in Nevada???

I understand that they are busy and I'm not trying to post just another whine. But, I have to say, honestly, I am worried. Hearing nothing for half a year about a product that is almost 2 years overdue (details on changes aside) just concerns me. I know the answer is just “it is done when it is done" but still, it would be nice to hear some kind of update.

[Rider1]

Back when the beta first came out and I was learning, it would have been great to have Nevada as a training area. But now, I could take it or leave it. I get it for free, so I can't complain too much.. Maybe someone will build an "Invasion USA" styled mission for it.. Wolverine!
