DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

[leafer]

Guessing it's the Channel Map at $16-99 for ROF?

 

I was talking about that one time when fighter ops developer took a water demo from some university project and tried to pass it as their own in-game engine. They were posted in their area51 and someone leaked it here around the time when ED announced DCS Black Shark. As faith would have it, a savvy dcs forum member recognized it and posted a link to the water demo which I downloaded and voila, they were one and the same.

Aaaah yes I remember that :megalol:

I still have that demo file saved in one of the CDs. :D

They need to get EDGE in place, then they can place the new map, least that is how I understand the order of all things EDGE.

[howie87]

I hope the new cloud settings in EDGE allow more of a gradient to be set.

 

For example, at the moment if the clouds are set to 8 in the mission editor, they cover about 30% of the sky. When you set them to 9 they cover 100%!

 

It seems that they are rendered differently and just go to 'blanket mode'.

 

I'd also like to be able to set cloud cover in Oktas from the mission editor.

How did you get that about that?? well, except for the plural :)

[cichlidfan]

Can anybody add Nevada and Normandy together and get 'maps'?

I was thinking that but I have my doubts we'll see Normandy in 2014. Ready to be proven wrong though.

It always said that, the change made to the F-86 Announcement was removal of a few words that caused confusion regarding Korea,

Which was mentioned as the area where the F-86 and MIG-15 did battle, and everyone assumed it meant a Korea map was coming.

 

Both announcements always said "Maps".

Maybe the just mean the "updated" Georgia map and NTTR?

[Winfield_Gold]

With the news that RRG has folded and ED is going to pick up the slack, does this mean we will see EDGE before this century ends?

 

Glad EDGE wasn't a kickstarter project, otherwise it would be just a pipe dream

EDGE will debut with DCSW 1.3.0

 

Until there is an announcement saying otherwise, nothing has changed.

 

The Doomsday attitude and sarcastic comments regarding release days is starting to get stupid.

[Kuky]

I'll second that... EDGE is indeed looking to be released with 1.3.0

EDGE is already in Testers build (with bugs of course) and WIP but it is getting there, so relax, its definitely not a pipe-dream :)

It seems to be happening quite a bit on the F-18C thread too....

[Pepec9124]

Question:

 

Since EDGE is (probably) managing all terrain loading stuff, will it be able to preload objects/textures more efficiently. I would like it to be able to detect if player is having TGP and preload some terrain to memory, just in case. No one likes when it's racing for data on HDD with high latency (stuttering). RAM is cheap, just add a slider or something in settings.

[upupandaway]

Можно узнать будут ли столкновения с деревьями?

 

You can find out wether a collision with trees?

 

В инкарнации 1.3.0 - нет.

 

In incarnation 1.3.0 - no.

 

incarnation = release???

 

Just saw this over in a russian EDGE thread. If I´m not misreading the google oracle the statement seems to leave the question unanswered if this will or will not be implemented in the future.

[NineLine]

Well I dont know but I would imagine tree collisions would be dependant on new maps as well as EDGE, they havent said if we are getting anything but EDGE in 1.3.0 have they? I cant see EDGE adding tree collisions to the Black Sea map.

[guitarxe]

Actually the question is "Will there be collision with trees?" And the answer is "Not in 1.3.0"

[upupandaway]

Thought the same, it´s just the renderer. So we´ll have to see what the change log includes upon release. The last statement about collision before today left it very unclear wether it would be feasible at all.

I thought that was the idea of having a beta run alongside of the Sim. The beta is work in progress everybody knows that, so how come we don't get to try it and squash the bugs a bit quicker? When is 1.3.0 patch going to be released, is this the next patch or do we have some other patches to come before this 1.3.0?

 

How long have people been anticipating this Edge stuff now, it must be years for some.

Who said there wouldnt be an open beta period like 1.2.7 and 1.2.8?
