DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

[NineLine]

I have a question about the EDGE engine: will it be able to better support very large battles? because in the current engine, it lags badly when you have a lot of units in the battle

 

Yes, if you look at the first post, higher object count is a feature.

[TaliG]

In my experience the lag comes not from too many stationary units on map, but from too many moving units. This is getting exponentially worse when those moving units encounter obstacles and need to ''develop'' new paths by themselves in order to reach their destination.

This is clearly not a graphics issue and depends on CPU resources.

So EDGE is not going to change this directly.

It will change it though because dx11 will move most of the graphical workings from CPU into the GPU.

 

EDIT: please correct me if im wrong and you have more exp on this :)

3 years later eh.. people still talk about edge and how awesome it going to be.

 

Oh btw, I'm a thread necromancer.

[upupandaway]

Just wanted to point out something I found while browsing the DCS World directory - whilst actually looking for something else this caught my attention since it might hint at a feature that people have been asking for for a long time.

The question is if this really has anything to do with a "new look" for IR imagery within DCS World or when the files were created by an update.

In the folder DCS World\Bazar\Graphics\lma there are several Lua-files of which one is named edge_infrared.lua.

I´m unsure if this has been mentioned or discussed before, but posting can´t hurt I guess. Perhaps it seems a little doubtful that EDGE will really make it into 1.2.8, but apart from that it is nice to see that apprently first clues of the transitional process are already showing up.

[GGTharos]

EDGE is actually quite large as a project, and come parts of it are already in 1.2.7 ... small parts of it.

 

When will it get fully integrated ... who knows?

So can you say that there are certain elements that may not be turned or not necessary to have the NTTR released? Not saying it will come any faster of course. Sounds like it has a lot of potential and the surface has barely been scratched.

[GGTharos]

They're turned on. They have nothing to do with nevada.

What happened to the pinned Nevada/edge topic

 

Is the disappearance of this topic bad news?

[tomcatter]

Look inside the chit-chat section and you will find the truth....

as its in the chit chat section again...

i really cannot wait to have this finally released...i guess im not alone...seeing those screenshots and videos, i believe this is going to be awesome.

 

what i dont really see though, and thats why i dont quite understand their information policy is, people complaining about their updates...

ive seen such things on other forums, where devs really got bashed for handing out information, but honestly, not on this forum...

in my view, people on this forum act rather mature.of course there are a few complains and criticism, but these are coming from a really really small minority, out of the already small vocal minority, where the overwhelming amount appreciates every new bit of information.

 

do i read the wrong forum? :)

anyway, cant be that long anymore to have it released...

No, the moderators are just really busy here ;)

I don't get it.

[Dudester22]

Devs will always get bashed, it happens on the BOS forums, but the devs just ignore them there. Games will always create new bugs, so you will always get someone moaning about something and devs should know this by now. Creating something new like Nevada though is a different story. The main purpose for news here should be to keep people interested and exited about the project.

[TaliG]

THIS IS AN INFORMANTIONAL THREAD!!

NOT A WISH THREAD.

 

PLAEASE!! PLEASE!!!

 

dnt destroy what is already up.

PLEASE!

read the thread and check, if you need something that you cannot find here, go to the wishlist thread...

PLEASE, this is a GEM thread, dnt destroy it because of your greediness to fly something.

BEHAVE.

 

and Im sorry for the capitals ;)

 

EDIT: Its embarasing, but what I wrote was going here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=95985&page=52

but anyway the idea is general enough to touche many threads in this forum so.. :)

The Devs deserve respect just as any other human being on this forum, stating that it is ok (or should be ignored, which is like accepting it) for Devs to get bashed, specially when they are sharing progress on different projects is, well, just wrong. I dont care about any other forums, but attacking, bashing, whatever you want to call it is not accepted here and will be moderated, please feel free to read the forum rules.

 

Creating something new like Nevada and EDGE speaks for itself, if you arent excited about a new Terrain Engine, and a new map with out being spoon fed a couple little updates here and there then I dont know what to say.

 

And if anyone was wondering, stuff like this is why this thread has been moved back to Chit Chat, EDGE & Nevada are fine and progressing along, the movement of this thread doesnt reflect on any projects health or status whatsoever..

[Silver_Dragon]

The Nevada map (NTTR) has no release, need wait some time.

This thread is stickied above your post.

 

EDGE/Nevada Info

[Boberro]

It's been a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time since last update, so it means ED picked something up and put Nevada aside or something went terrible wrong.

Or they want surprise us and release whole new engine together with MiG-21 :D

As DCS WWII is part of the general DCS development environment, a bug introduced on Thursday made the entire environment look off. Very off. Everything is black and shiny.

That was over a week ago, I highly doubt they are still dealing with this issue. As for updates, I wouldnt expect much until release unless Wags is feeling generous, as was stated before, they have gone to more of a Valve type update policy.

Seems that they have shut the valve of information completely off! :music_whistling:
