Screenshots or videos from BS2?

[enigma6584]

that's good to hear. :thumbup:

 

but i meant, if the nvg in bs is now similar to the one in the a10.

i always found the a10 version better to use, but i never was sure, if it is because the engine is better, or it is modelled different, because the nvg in the real hog is better then the one in the shark. bit confusing, eh? :D

 

I did some testing last night... making a night mission and the NVGs give you much better sight at night. You can actually use the Schval and shoot missiles...guiding them with the schval...just cannot lock target since not enough light. Big improvement...more night missions I think are going to be made.:thumbup:

No but that's a cool idea.

I never knew how much I wanted rain on my windshield in games till I saw this. :cry:

It does look quite cool ...

 

Up next: reflections for cockpit guage glass, the final frontier in cockpit realism :D

Some screens from the first three campaign missions of Operation Medvedev II. I love the new engine and it's basically what I've been waiting for. Just wish there was a Shkval-sensor update, because imo it kinda lacks that authentic feel.

 

All in all very very happy now :)... because allthough i enjoy flying A-10C, I feel alot more at home behind the stick and collective of a helicopter :). :joystick:

Those new smoke effects with burning vehicles are really quite good. Very cool to watch while flying around the battlefield. It looks quite literally like armagedon.

Nice shots. If you have not already noticed, as you progress in the campaign you will have SEAD and CAS flights on call to assist you (from Other selection in radio menu).

Amazing! It will make the new Georgian war come alive. I assume you made the campaign Wags? Dying to jump into it.

Now THAT was awesome. Gotta get some rain on the windscreen indeed!!

[Rusty_M]

I love that wind-affected smoke!

[kylania]

I love that wind-affected smoke!

 

For A-10C to practice cross wind landings someone put down an Abrams and a few enemy trucks so that he could judge the wind from the smoke from the vehicles that the tank blew up at mission start. Was pretty cool.

Actually it's a bit surprising ED implemented this but not rain on the canopy. I mean, those splashes are a very nice touch to be sure, but somewhat pointless in a flight sim - rain distortion like in RoF would actually add some gameplay/realism value. Most likely the splashes were simply a lot easier to do, although the DCS engine can already handle refraction (heat blur)?

Raindrops are not cool idea, but VERY old idea....

[sc_morpheus]

i think its very cool, because it would give a very nice feeling :)

It would affect your vision and therefore affect flying the Ka-50/A-10/... It surely affects my vision when I'm driving a car ...

 

Definitely something I'd like to see somewhere in the future. (nice to have)

rain would be nice but very very heavy on the old performance. Im not sure how Railworks did it to be honest, I really like the rain in that however I get only small drop in performance. Nearly every flightsim that has some kind of rain effect has a big penalty to it.

Yes, that's what I meant - the splashes in the sea are a bit pointless as you'll rarely see them during regular play and even then they're little more than a gimmick (albeit admittedly a nice one). Rain water on the canopy however adds quite a bit of realism to flying in inclement weather, so I would have much preferred that effect.

Awesome video's!

 

And, fixed :)

rain effect on canopy would also give the wiper some practical use ;)
