DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

[SkateZilla]

The "Landscape" editor in the WWII Video Update looked pretty spiffy.

It changed a lot, though with the new channel-map released.

 

The channel map was/is only $20, less at this very moment. So it appears that any new map, that isn't free, is the root of the problem.

 

In that case the map may as well, be $100, since price is not the issue.

Yes, and something tells me they wont be just handing out those tools for joe blow to create their own neighborhood to bomb :)

 

But if they do, I am totally making my neighborhood and bombing the crap out of it :)

Since I know that were talking about the new IG here and that I saw the videos of some commercial sim products employing it I can finally ask what's bugging me for some time:

So the ridiculous sky colors won't go away with just the introduction of the IG?

Which sky colours do you not like ?

 

I know up there in Poland you don't get to see the actual sky very often - just snow, rain, clouds and smog, but down here in the sunny South Pacific, that's what sky's look like :)

 

Seriously though - there is quite an impact from where you are on what the sky looks like. The first time I went to Europe I was surprised at how gray the sky was and how short the visible range was compared to here - but I suspect that's not what you're talking about...

I didn't ask the question to stir up any feathers and I don't see the point to substantiate the need to completely rework the looks of the sky in DCS. Also - see my sig.

I've been tweaking some sky and cloud based stuff, not perfect but I like they way it looks :)

No feathers ruffled :)

[Bucic]

If one doesn't see what's wrong with the DCS sky and by how much it's off he won't change his mind after a discussion. That's why I avoid it and can only point to RoF and Il-2 team fusion.

Good -workaround-. The current sky still needs to go so we could make it -better looking- instead of -bearable-. Please check your PM.

 

OK, i guess there's no info regarding sky in EDGE. Please drop a line if you stumble upon something in the subject.

One of the first things I noticed when I landed in New Zealand a few years ago was the crisp blue sky...ahhh brings pack memories :)

 

There was definitely a noticeable difference (for me) between the UK and NZ skies. Each to their own I suppose; the colour of the sky in DCS World isn't something I've really paid too much attention to so far.

Why are all these EDGE video's appearing all of a sudden ? I mean i can understand if we the DCS community could use them but this is just showing things we cant even buy or use because its made by another company for a different market. I cant help feeling confused right now.

I dont think any of the Dev team here are posting them, so dont be confused, its just hungry users digging stuff up :)

[EagleEye]

...its just hungry users digging stuff up :)

Yes, because ED is so damn silent about these things (EDGE).:) (Few pics from Nevada every now and then...mehhh) Thanks to Luthier`s EDGE video we are more in the know at the least.

The tools for the older terrain engine weren't the best and they stopped supporting it a while ago. You can find them here: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Editing_and_modding A few projects were started but never finished, I believe the anticipation for "EDGE" caused some to halt work until they can have the EDGE tools. Hell I even investigated what all would be needed to create a terrain and gathered some terrain data, but that fell through. The tools for EDGE aren't publicly available. When or even IF they become available is unknown at this time.

 

Thanks for that reply, it answered a question I was about to ask. I would like to get into map development eventually if the tools are released.

Awesome! :thumbup:

I think, we really get Nevada this year, like Wags wrote ...

[NineLine]

I've already booked a room at the OMG Grand. :D

[VincentLaw]

Looks excellent. Assuming my computer can handle the city on high density, I see myself doing a lot more night flying in the future.

I want to know if the runways will be flat or have "slope" like on X-Plane X.

Ooh yeah. I've got my 2 weeks work leave ready at the push of a button.

 

Map looks great; I cant wait to see some video action of EDGE running!
