upupandaway Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 True, they may take the Hollywood approach and reboot the series and start at 1.0.0. next patch. You mean where A-10s make bomb runs on alien invaders with full afterburner like in Crysis 2 for example?! ED has one considerable advantage over all those mediocre cash grabbing schemes: DCS is not in need of a reboot/remake because they suffer no lack of original ideas and fresh content. Which is not say that it won´t benefit from a visual overhaul. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!

KaspeR32 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 IIRC..the black sea map was the one pictured in recent edge screenshots that hinted a spherical earth. So... hold on to that thought. I wonder if these are laid on a spherical earth... will eventually all maps be linked over the whole globe with empty spaces in between waiting to be filled.... aka more xplane, fsx style. I am still curious about this as well. Wags did mention there would be an option to map terrain onto a spherical earth, but I wonder if ED is doing that with their stuff, including Black Sea.

Wags did mention there would be an option to map terrain onto a spherical earth, but I wonder if ED is doing that with their stuff, including Black Sea. I am pretty sure any changes like that wont be able to be done to the Black Sea map without recreating it. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
WRAITH Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 hi all any news on Nevada EDGE Project.............. some nice progress pics at least and maybe an estimate release say 6 months or more? I log in when I can here looking for new stuff would be kool to have regular monthly updates if at all possible for us poor longing folks......... I'm sure DCS is working and aim to please :thumbup:
Witchking Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I suspect that when the new engine is released, it'll be version 2.0 Honestly, I thought ED would do this too... jump up to version 2.0 as EDGE is a major update. I find it hard to believe they would rather slog through 1.0 in increments. If anything, EDGE would warrant atleast a jump to 1.5. Whatever it is...here's hoping that its sooner rather than later. :p WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA|
Bedouin Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Will the Edge update be a free or paided like a DLC...? I am fine with both, just nice to know if there has been any info about it, revealed...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 well depends-edge itself is only the engine, so this will be free...the new maps which will be rendered in edge are a different cup of tea... the nevada map is supposed to be payware except for those who purchased the a10c when it was still in beta state... the announced normandy map for dcs wwii is probably free.... as for others unanounced maps,...nobody knows.

I'm actually a little more curious about something else.the hosting vs non hosting difference; can one fly on the Nevada map if one doesn't own it?
ED Team NineLine Posted May 23, 2014 ED Team Posted May 23, 2014 well, my guess is no Yeah, I would assume that the answer would be no as well. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**

Although the whole DCS WWII thing still confuses me, I thought that the base sim would be free, which would have to include at least one map, presumably Normandy, the announced map is quite small, similar to Nevada so it would make sense to be a free offering.

Yes RRG wants it to be standalone. If they want it then it needs map to fly on. Or they will give us huge ocean without any objects...

Witchking Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Alright...i didn't realise one plane is free.
