DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

[Rangi]

Is there any way to check when the purchase was made? I purchased the A10C ages ago, not sure if it was in beta though or not.

 

Yes, if you go to your ED account/personal section/my orders, it has all the dates of your purchases. Not 100% sure if it says beta for A-10C as I missed out on that one, but all the purchases I made that were in beta at the time are named as such on that page.

Yes you can there is a page in personal settings. Where you can give your product key and check all of it's status

Ok thanks for that.

 

In my case it states DCS-A10C (download Version) Completed 16.02.2011

 

Would that qualify me for a copy of the Nevada test range or will I need to purchase the map?

[VincentLaw]

In my case it states DCS-A10C (download Version)

That is also what mine says, but I know I purchased it during the beta. I don't remember what the cutoff date for that was.

 

it will be free to those that Purchased DCS:A-10C in Spring 2011;

 

Everyone else will have to purchase a license, Pricing has not been announced.

Unlucky me. I purchased mine in December 2010. ;)

Thanks mwd2. Heh managed to beat the cutoff date by five days (tbh completely unknowingly) :)

[Milli]

Well i bought mine on the 21st feb 2011. Typical.

07.10.2010 oh the days...

Now add a year of waiting patiently :music_whistling:

Back then we had Nevada, it was taken down with a patch and here we are :D

It will be really nice once we have more maps

[Lucky]

I bought the English Download Beta version on 10/4/10

[cichlidfan]

it will be free to those that Purchased DCS:A-10C in Spring 2011;

 

No, it won't.

[NineLine]

Will EDGE/ Nevada cost anything?

EDGE is rendering engine, so no. It has been stated that the plan is still for the Nevada map to be free for users who pre-ordered DCS: A-10C Warthog beta.

.....are there any preliminary videos of edge in the forum?....been looking but haven't found yet.....did find one done back in July on youtube.... just wondered if there is more in the forum somewhere....thanks

Questions about DCS World 2

 

I have DCS World and the following modules: DCS Huey, FC3 and DCS A-10C Warthog.

 

1. Will I need to pay for DCS world 2?

 

2. In the updates/announcements section, I read that the NTTR map will only be free for those who had bought A-10 when it was in beta. I bought it afterwards so will I have to pay for it?

 

3. What are the recommended and minimum requirements for the E.D.G.E.?

 

4. The new SU-27, wasn't this already a part of FC3? (I haven't touched FC3 yet. I'm still trying to learn the Huey). Are there any new improvements? Does the Su-27 have mid-air refueling capability?

[cichlidfan]

1. No.

 

2. Yes.

 

3. As yet unknown.

 

4. Yes, it is part of FC3 but can now be purchased separately.

The PFM would be considered a new improvement.

IDK.

Yes.

 

3. What are the recommended and minimum requirements for the E.D.G.E.?

TBA. EDGE is planned to be less demanding and also more reliant on the GPU than the the current engine.

 

4. The new SU-27, wasn't this already a part of FC3? (I haven't touched FC3 yet. I'm still trying to learn the Huey). Are there any new improvements? Does the Su-27 have mid-air refueling capability?

The Su-27 is part of FC3. The FC3 version and the stand alone version are the same, if you own FC3, do not buy the stand alone. All versions are being updated to PFM and are also getting minor avionics changes.

[Beagle One]

4. The Su-27S has no in flight refueling capability.

[Devrim]

...Does the Su-27 have mid-air refueling capability?

No it has not (in DCS World). Su-33 has.

What is PFM?

 

As stated by Wags here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2039947

 

 

 

Professional Flight Model (PFM). This is generations beyond an AFM/AFM+ and is based upon:

• Use a wider array of wind tunnel tests CFD methods for aerodynamics parameters calculations.

• A higher level of aircraft construction details for forces calculations. For example: our landing gear model includes individual kinematics of retracting/extending is used to calculate its movement, servo-piston forces, etc. In such cases, we truly use real lengths, arms, etc. This also includes such items as a realistic simulation of airflow along the airframe due to the propeller or helicopter rotor thrust.

• Realistic simulation of Flight Control, CAS and Autopilot systems.

• Realistic simulation of Hydraulics, Fuel, Electrical, Engine and other systems influence flight characteristics.

• Unprecedented access to test data packs.

This is combined with much more detailed and accurate accounting of the physical forces on the aircraft and airfoils. DCS examples of the PFM include the A-10C, Ka-50, P-51D, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, F-15C and Su-27 (in development) for DCS Flaming Cliffs, and the Fw190-D9 (in development).<br />

Will you plan on adding Mccaran, North Las Vegas Airport, Henderson executive airport, and Boulder city airport?
