DCS World 2.0 and New Maps Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

On a sidenote, I was expecting it written as "M2000" :) (or any other version :D)

 

Quick question: Will Nevada be a free update or a module that has to be bought? I do not remember any information about it. But I have not really active either so...

 

As far as I know, it will be a module that has to be bought. Unless you had prepurchased the A-10C beta, in which case you still will get Nevada for free.

That's fine with me. With the amount of work they've put into it, it should be pay ware.

When is this Map supposed to be released? The last I heard about a release date it was going to be December just gone, that's if they could get it done by then. Now when I look in the forums some people are talking about June this year and even longer. I am not sure if these people are just predicting release dates but it doesn't help if they are.

curious what type of system is required to run Edge/Nevada Map

 

There's no information available right now. Best to wait until EDGE is in the open so you can be sure.

This has been discussed to death, here is the official word on it:

 

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1906401&postcount=2753

 

This map was originally started as a third party effort that we (Eagle) decided to assist, and later lead, in order to provide a location for US aircraft training missions (A-10C originally) and Red Flag type missions. The focus of all content for this map is in regards to this. This has not changed nor will it.

 

Interestingly enough this quote is from this thread, unfortunately they are hard to find with people discussing what they would rather have than this or that. SO try and keep the post on topic, this is the initial map for the release of EDGE, like it or not, thats it.

 

The sharped eyed of you...

 

Predator MQ-1 (or is it RQ-1??)

 

I would like to know the logic behind Nevada in context of mission creation and realism. I know that it is proving grounds in real life but do I expect historic accuracy to fall in with Nevada? Has there been any conflict on the grounds of Nevada? No.

 

So instead of developing a full 6DOF pitted craft for us to enjoy in Georgia which saw conflict (albeit 3 or 4 days), you go ahead and create Nevada.

 

Since I'm Arab, I'd like to know if I expect major conflicts to be represented in Nevada (now that Mig-21 Bis is on final, can one expect F4 phantom vs. Bis occuring in Nevada?)

 

Oh, and what happened to AT-802 (air tractor) module? is it nerfed??

Why develop a map centered on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR)?

 

The map originally started as a third party project with no input from Eagle Dynamics. However, as we started to develop DCS: A-10C, we realized that this map could serve as a great location for the A-10C training missions. To make this happen, we officially partnered with the third party team to help make this happen. We were so confident in this endeavor that we included a very early version as part of the original A-10C beta.

 

Unfortunately, due to several reasons, the third party team dissolved and Eagle was left holding the bag of a promised NTTR map to customers that had purchased it as part of A-10C. After taking over the project, it soon became apparent that the current TFCSE engine was incapable of running the map at the desired quality levels vs. performance. In order to realize this map as first envisioned, an entirely new image generator would be required... this later became a key element of the Eagle Dynamics Graphics Engine (EDGE).

 

Building a new IG is never an easy or fast task and EDGE has proved no different. However, the NTTR map as provided an excellent test bed for the new map rendering technologies of EDGE. So, all that being said, the NTTR was developed for the following reasons:

 

1- For training missions of western aircraft.

2- To honor A-10C beta purchases.

3- Allow creation of Red Flag type missions centered on the NTTR.

4- EDGE technology test bed.

Also, as a backer of DCS: WWII, I believe we get access to the Alpha early and the final product release in September this year. Does it not mean that we will see EDGE in that prior to it being released with NTTR?

 

As Wags has mentioned, NTTR is just about done, so it is at present the most complete theater for EDGE.

I would also like to know - as I currently have 6 spare cpu cores having a snooze :)

 

Pretty sure somewhere is stated that it supports up to 4 GPUs but other than that everything should remain same. It means it should take everything (most) graphic related off from CPU and calculate it on the GPU instead.

It's multi CPU and GPU.

 

I believe that you are incorrect with regards to the CPU. At minimum, I do not think this has been stated anywhere.

After EDGE is incorporated.

 

No offence, but I already gathered that. I just get distracted by so many people saying different things in here sometimes that it's hard to know what to believe anymore. I did see that ED mentioned December, 2013 as a possible date at some point, so I was merely asking for anymore info. I then see that people are mentioning June and wanted to know if there was any truth in this.

I don't think that's an estimate from ED, and if it was, it would still be an estimate.

 

All I can tell you is that integration of EDGE is actively being worked on.

Its always best to wait for Official Word from The Producers... the rest is just noise, conjecture, impatience doing the typing, people sounding knowledgeable and others stirring the pot, misinterpreting or just plain confused.

I dont recall seeing 6 month estimation. I think it MAY have came from some in the community reacting to Matts announcement of NTTR not being ready before the end of the year and thus throwing out their own random numbers.

 

This post 11-22-2013. For what it is worth I dont see 6 months, maybe 2 or 3 the most, but thats pure speculation

It's always that last 10%...

 

Over the last few months, the team has made tremendous progress on both the NTTR art assets and getting EDGE working in DCS. Although we had hoped to have this wrapped up by the end of the year (never promised), I don't see that happening. There are half a dozen art issues that need to be resolved, EDGE integration into DCS will probably not be completed until Mid-December, and beta testing of the map within DCS has of course not been able to start yet.

 

Nevertheless, progress is being made... just not as fast as we all would like.
