DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

[Hunden Ynk]

What's the meaning of this:

3- Uses clip maps.

Google just handed me a bunch of research papers - making me feel super stupid - is it some kind of LOD-thingy, but for the terrain?

Looking really good,nice update.Thank you.

And what happened to the pictures on Facebook?

 

Matt giveth, and Matt taketh away...:cry:

And what happened to the pictures on Facebook?

 

They re-posted them. I think the original gallery was simply called "Nevada Map" and they re-named it "Nevada Map Work In Progress"

The day Win 8.0 will be the gamers op-sys of choice, I'll shoot myself!

That day will never come ... since 8.1 is about to be released (with DirectX 11.2) :D

Aldega, thanks... you point it out flawlessly.

 

@Offlinepilot: don't say that, you'll have not too much to live :D

I'm glad ED has finally got to work on the sky. But some of you sure are easily impressed :)

EDIT: (Cliffs of Dover with Team Fusion patches, unknown version)

The clouds are amazing. I can see myself flying around them just for the heck of it!

 

Win8: I've been using it on my Surface Pro tablet since Feb and I just don't understand the negative vibes towards it. IMO it's just a better Win7...

Wow Bucic, is that ... What is that screen from? Cliffs of Dover?

Probably BoS, but let's not get carried away here.

I hope people like the ones responsible for the wingtip and smoke effects have the most saying in the dev-t of the EDGE. I forgot one of the guys nickname again but you can clearly see that he's after something that replicates real-life effect, not after just an effect or, excusemah, an eye-candy. That said I hope the non-DCS-looking skyboxes are from higher revisions and are to stay/indicate the direction of development.

BTW, I've edited my previous post to include the source of the screenshot.

I dont think there are Spits in BoS, but I agree... lets not get carried away :)

Not that it's causing any problems whatsoever running DCS on 8.0... don't expect 8.1 will change that either. What part of the crappy new not-called-metro-anymore interface do you use when playing DCS that causes it to be a problem?

 

Oh look an icon for DCS World. Click. I'm in the game. What OS am I using again? Right. Who cares.

I like to be in control of my op-sys .. not controlled by it, by shiny squares and idiotic interface! :mad:

 

I don't 'just click an icon' I control my Win 7 as I want it! Same with my phone, custom op-sys, perfected for my needs, and modified by me, not any crap at all left on it.

 

But lets not derail this thread with operating system whining!

[SkateZilla]

is this a typo, since dx 11 is supported by win7 or did i just understand it wrong?

 

DirectX 11 is Windows 7+

DirectX 11.2 is Windows 8 only, not sure if that's what he means.

[SkateZilla]

check Eagle Dynamics Facebook Nevada.... MORE PICS :)

I've had a number of customers say the same thing. I put it down to the fact it is made for a touch screen device. Anything else and it's shite. We still have customers struggling with Windows 7 and some of their legacy applications.
