Chivas Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 The developer has asked the general public not to buy the DK2 prototype as the consumer version will be better in every way. That said it hasn't stopped thousands in the general public, like myself, buying the prototype as the consumer version is atleast a year away. Best guess is a year and half away, the end of 2015. I'm sure I will enjoy more than a few hundred dollars worth of entertainment value with the prototype before I buy the consumer version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnwood Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 this one? Yes, that one that was sent to everybody and I feel a lot less important now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnwood Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I think the largest risk of buying a DK2 if you care to use it for a long time is that there may not be any long term commitment to it. From the day that CV1 is released the DK2 may not be compatible with the SDK's that are released. You may be lumped with a unit that you thought you could use for longer as your backup or on a second pc. As we have found with new DK's there have been new SDK's that are not backwards compatible and I wouldn't have any expectation that when CV1 is released that any new software using the SDK's from that time forward will ever work on the DK2.

Chivas Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I would imagine most everyone that is buying the DK2 now, are fully aware of the prototypes longevity, and feature issues, and are planing to buy the consumer version on release as well. Some will sell their DK2 a few months before the CV1 release too recoup some of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frusheen Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Good news - 1.2.9 should introduce DK2 support and it is nearing release. Hopefully that means not much waiting around for those who are in the first batch of shipments. I hope I'm one of them! __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is using a DK2 SDK then DK1 support may no longer work.

average_pilot Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The SDK does not change current games and demos on your hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frusheen Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The SDK does not change current games and demos on your hard disk. That's not what I meant. If you update DCS to DK2 compatability (1.2.9) then the DK1 may not work in game anymore as DCS will be using the newer SDK. I wasn't t referring to existing DK1 games and demos. I researched it further and it seems DK1 will still work with software compiled for DK2 (just without DK2 exclusive features). The reason I flagged it as a possible issue is that 1.2.9 will likely be available before many of us have our DK2. Anyway it seems to be a non issue so disregard. __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buznee Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just curious, while i wait for my dk2 i decided to run dcs on stereo mode with my 1080p display to see the potential impact of fps as compared to normal 1080p. It is significant. I see about 20 fps drop. I really hope EDGE helps improve fps, if not I may have to upgrade my 680 GTX :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that gets sorted out soon, otherwise I'm guessing it may have a effect on DK2 integration with DCS. Isn't the studio based in Russia??
