Raven68 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I dont think anyone can comment on performance yet, if your purchase is solely for DCS I would wait, I am sure it will be more better... but I dont know...

Vampyre Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Now, as I understand it, the Nevada map will be able to be expanded upon in the future. Is this a correct statement? NTTR is fine but I would also like to have northern Nevada and California included as well to include the Navy and Marine Corp and Army bases and training ranges as well (China Lake, NAS Fallon, Twentynine Palms, Ft Irwin, Edwards AFB). Basically, all of the R-2508 MOA, MCAGTC and the FRTC. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Map expansion really hasnt been discussed, I think the RRG guys hinted at the possibility, but until we see the tools and such we wont really know. It stands to reason that you could either expand or import the assets from this map to a new larger one, but again, thats all guessing.

Wakkaman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Edge engine, looks amazing! Can somebody confirm that this is also the edge engine? Somebody replied at one of the youtube movies this is the edge engine. It looks alot like it.

VanjaB Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Im worried about weather. It all looks very pretty on the ground, but Id really like to see an improvement to the weather rendering system. The clouds and assorted weather systems look exactly the same as what we have right now. And what we have right now is not impressive at all....

jib Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Any conformation on what engine this simulator is running on? Edit: it looks like it is this company: http://udcusa.com/aeronautics/mi-17mi-171-helicopter-flight-simulator/ I think it has nothing to do with DCS it just looks similar because it is set in the same region as the current campaign map. Edit 2: actually it is this company: http://www.avia-ts.ua/ How many differnet companies make mi-17 simulators , you would think they would only need one! It does look to run very smoothly considering the amazing detail of the environments but these simulators cost £500,000+ so they will be running some very high end hardware that I wouldn't be able to get my hands on.

It has for sure nothing to do with DCS but in this videoclip Anthony Echavarria replies "this is EDGE. It is just running in a different IG, not DCSW". So i guess it's possibly the same engine.

The clouds and assorted weather systems look exactly the same as what we have right now. And what we have right now is not impressive at all.... Most likely this is earlier version of EDGE with basic weather systems in fact I believe that they are just showing off the map with nice weather. What I have heard from Yo-Yo, they have been making "realistic" high and low pressure simulation which generates the weather. They have made as well few different kind of cloud types that we have in real life. High and medium altitude clouds, variations of alto and cirrus clouds. Sorry can't find the link, maybe somewhere... And that information is just from my memory so don't quote me there. :) Another problem is that mission designers, especially in the multiplayer, normally just pick up the totally fine weather with no clouds.

ENO Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That's because of frequent complaints that clouds (density >7) hurt performance and dynamic weather destroys it.

Haukka81 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) EDGE is being worked into the sim right now, and it will take advantage of our systems much better than what the current engine does, there is no reason to believe any of your opinion is remotely correct.

quyes Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It does look to run very smoothly considering the amazing detail of the environments but these simulators cost £500,000+ so they will be running some very high end hardware that I wouldn't be able to get my hands on. The price of a professional training simulator has actually very little to do with the spec of the computers they run on, the above is not an accurate or relative assumption to be applied to EDGE's performance. My last job was maintaining flight simulators for a small aviation school that had a 4 year degree for professional pilots. They had four different model simulators that ranged in purchase prices from $150,000 to $300,000 including one that was a 737 version of this turboprop sim: https://flypfc.com/?/training-systems/mfd-turboprop/ While I don't remember the specific graphics cards that they ran, the highest level system was a P4 (not an i3/5/7 or core-duo) system that could be built for around $600 7-8 years ago. The cost of those simulators are tied up in the development of the proprietary software and all of the hardware that plugs into the computers (switches, gauges, displays, etc).

GPU was A Mid-Range ATi Card. The Units werent even in "PC Cases" they were Mainboards inside of Metal Boxes Bolted to the Inside Wall of the Housing Unit with just an I/O Plate on the back, No CD Rom to Restore Data, to Repair Anything, We had to remove the HDD and Put it into a repair unit of the same spec w/ a CD Rom, Floppy and Keyboard/Mouse input. then move the HDD Back into the main unit. The most expensive thing being the RamBUS RAM.

Dudester22 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I am not sure why there is such a huge demand for tree damage. I mean, it's not often a pilot hits a tree unless he is going to crash in anycase and even then he does all he can to avoid them. But if you still want to crash your chopper on purpose there is always the nearest building or hill. Edited January 16, 2014 by Dudester22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you still want to crash your chopper on purpose there is always the nearest building or hill. Because last night ( and many other times ) when I was flying, I went low to avoid some AAA and I flew for 20 or more second through a nice forest like I was a ghost or something and not only that but the superhuman AAA ai was shooting at me like I was sitting on a chair right next to them..Also because I drove an abrams, full speed, through a tree forest without losing any speed (is this possible?) plus receiving fire from all directions like I was a fly into a cup of milk. That is why.
