DCS WWII: Europe 1944: Kickstarter Video 3: EDGE Terrain Engine

[NineLine]

Heh! I had the exact same thought. Hopefully it's just unlit, uncorrected assets in the editor.

 

Fingers crossed they'll take a peek at what Team Fusion have been up to recently. :)

 

You guys realize that much of what we have been seeing is basically in a model viewer, where they build the terrain, all the effects and shaders that make it feel more alive probably arent shown yet...

Yep. Totally aware of that.

Thx luthier for the vid !

[upupandaway]

Thanks to RRG and ED for this insight into your work! I personally think this is the best video you have released so far, showing the people and their work in a more direct and up close personal way. Apart from the current DCS: WWII project it is great to see people talk about their projects and individual motivations.

:thumbup:

I´m by far no expert on software development, but if EDGE is in testing stage as they say, could that mean that it is undergoing last steps (debugging) before being introduced as a (public) beta?

Especially if it is true that EDGE is already at Version 4 and that there have been previous working installations in commercial products.

It´s made with EDGE I guess and this screenshot from Kickstarter is captured from the vid above.

 

Oh, there is a thread by signalman about this vid...

Comercial / professional products videos use EDGE technology. Take a look to Alabama FortRucker Cairns, I/ITSEC 2012 presentation video.

All those videos are impressive!!You can even see birds flying.

Taking the risk of sounding nerdy ;) I like the look of the forrests in the Alabama scenery. Many sims have forests that look very regular, too many of the trees look the same. ED (or whoever) seem to have taken time to place different trees making the forests look very natural.

 

It reminds me of the very best FSX payware scenery but with much more advanced lighting than FSX can manage. Now we just need some improved weather effects.

Wow, those videos of EDGE look unbelievable! Funny, I haven't seen them here before.

 

Also explains why it's taking so long for Nevada to come out... They've been making maps for more lucrative commercial ventures instead :D

 

Too bad we'll never fly on these maps.

Why are they flying an Mi-8 over Alabama?

Great find - and that Alabama video looks awesome - even though I agree with Sith that it has a bit of Red Dawn feeling over it with that Mi-8 :)

[Mogster]

A US or UK special forces campaign with the Mi8 would be quite fun.

[elchacal]

WOW .. EDGE engine looks great!

True, its not like we were told we would have access to the Nevada map for free if we bought A-10c Beta, but they never said anything about taking two years....:music_whistling:

I've upped my backing! Dig deep guys and spread the word!
