Jumbik Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 To be honest I'm quite interested in what we will see first, F-18C or 2.5. Both are equally appealing. :) Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm really looking forward to 2.5, but I hope they make 2.1 run as smooth as 1.5 before they merge everything. I'm not entirely happy with the Normandy performance at the moment. 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely happy with the Normandy performance at the moment. You do realize that the Normandy was just released to Alpha Early Access? ED will tweak its performance a lot in the coming weeks and months. It isn't supoosed to run perfectly yet, hence Early Access.

From what Wags said, works on other maps were on hold until Normandy was ready for Early access. We can only guess how much was done for Caucasus before they decided to finish Normandy first. I do remember that there were images of how the new map will look. Ultimately it was decided to not only upgrade the map to new engine but also build it up to a new standard from a quality level too. Personally I would not expect 2.5 before next summer.

OnlyforDCS Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Next year sounds, I hate to say it, realistic. I keep repeating myself, but the Merge can't get here soon enough, this splitting of DCS World into different branches is a nightmare and has slowed development of improvements to a crawl. I hope Im wrong though, I hope they decide to keep it simple with the Caucassus upgrade, to get to the merge sooner and to keep it performing at an adequate level.

AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 ED have people working back on the Caucasus map already, afer Normandy is finished, they will have even more. This is from a Wags video he made two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator363 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The merge couldn't come soon enough. The split between different versions maps and betas must be a nightmare for developers. Happy Bug Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm quite optimistic, I've already removed 1.5 ob and the caucasus is gone... making room for the future updates on my tiny SSD. I'm enjoying a new flight experience in Nevada, the only issue is the chronic lack of players in MP.

Witchking Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Yup! Deleted 1.5 as well. Cannot go back to the old engine. Bring on the caucasus in 2.5.

zero Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Is it only me that like 1.5 better? Stable. Much shorter loading time. Better aircraft physics. In 1.5 you have to work rudder hard during TO (FW190 - P51). In Nevada and Normandy no rudder input needed. (Have checked that help is disabled). Please keep the 1.5 alive. In addition to 2.0 :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knock-Knock Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I prefer 1.5 atm too, and its silky smooth. Too many issues in 2.1. Very unpolished. Ton of potential, so looking forward to a more polished state. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The devs need feedback by the users to squash bugs and go on with development: if all we remain playing with 1.5, who will report bugs? After all 2.1 is Alpha (a step near internal developing version), I think that use it to discover bugs is an approach to go faster versus 2.5 Stable release...

JiveMiguel Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I am coming back to DCS after a long break. Those training missions are great for getting back into startup/shutdown etc. Is it reasonable to figure that when Caucasus is on the new engine that all those tuts/missions/campaigns will be there too?
