DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

[Huckle]

I'm excited for Edge/Nevada, but I am concerned about how they will affect performance. I run DCS on my laptop and it runs well right now but I don't know how much more she can take. Would be a shame to lose a smooth-running DCS for an overhaul upgrade.

 

I was under the impression that Edge will run faster, taking full advantage of all cores in a CPU. If it runs even slower than 1.26, I will officially be giving up on DCS World. :cry:

Why would it run slower? Unsubstantiated speculation is just random angst. :smilewink:

I hope it will run slower. I got so much reserve in FPS, so there's enough space for brighter graphics and more effects. I hope this desolate, gray and dead scenery like in the actual engine will be gone with EDGE!

 

Nevertheless there should be scalable graphic options for low-end-systems, but I think even with minimum details it will look better than now...couldn't be much more worse :lol:

[TZeer]

Come to think of something. Since this is a new engine , will the image from our TGP look different?

It will be more efficient and will also require a relatively modern computer.

 

 

How demanding the game ends up depends entirely on how much detail is in the new maps.

It should run faster as current rendering engine is causing bottlenecks when many objects are being rendered simultaneously.

 

My question is, will be able to use pre DX11 GPUs ?

Should do, just not be able to use DX11 features.

[Huckle]

So more efficient, and detail should be scalable still - good, I need my 60 fps.

[howie87]

This is all speculative of course. The truth is that we just don't know until we get our hands on it.

[Aginor]

Yeah, it's funny in some way: 302 pages of discussion about something we actually don't know all that much about. But it's fun! :D

Your GTX550ti is a DX 11 GPU.

Exactly, everybody should know, that the truth is out there :megalol:

DX 10 GPU's Will Run on DX10 Libraries usually.

 

 

However, 400 Series And Newer is DX11

In the latest video, the Las Vegas sign is on the wrong side of the street. Looking northbound, the southbound lanes of Las Vegas Blvd should be on the left. :music_whistling:

This is my own photo, so there is no copyright infringement by me.

[NRG-Vampire]

not a scoff but is that the only one "welcome to fabulous las vegas nevada" sign in the city ?

i really dont know :dunno:

[Merlin-27]

The strip is missing some important stuff details to really sell it...

 

Civilian traffic was not drag racing light to light

Civilian traffic was not drunkenly swerving around

There were no stretch limos with drunk people flailing out the windows/sunroof

And most egregious was the utter lack of call-girl adverts littering the streets.

 

:D

 

And we thought tracking every .50 casing was a taxing job on the CPU!

 

The real question: Is Ed going to add a C-123 so we can crash land on the strip a la "Con Air"?

No scoff, it's a legitimate question. Yes, it is the only sign with that wording in Las Vegas. There is a similar one in Downtown that says Welcome to Downtown Las Vegas.

EDGE had better handle night lighting really well!

Exist the Aliens?....see Aliens in DCS Nevada? ... lol

Or maybe that car is just driving the wrong way on that road ;)

[SkateZilla]

maybe they had to move it.

That would never happen in Vegas. ;)

I know it was there in June, but the way they tear things down and rebuild, anything is possible. :smilewink:

 

Across the street from there, a large Observation wheel is being built.
