Same here it is just almost beyond belief what ED has created here. I just came back from my first dogfight in 2.0, Mig-15 versus F-86. Oh man the thrills! It just looks so real it is incredible..

 

Als just made a flight with a mustang around hoover dam. OMG!! It was dawn, the lights looked amazing and the detail is so sick. You can see the cars driving up to and over the bridge, really truly amazing!!

 

Thank you and congratulations ED!

Agreed, it is absolutely incredible!

 

I have been enjoying just flying the free flight instant action in the Ka-50 around Vegas and admiring the scenery. Breathtaking.

its absolutely incredible and worth the wait. I too like some others have flown FSX and X-plane and always found those Vegas sceneries to be very cartoonish and the mesh was not very convincing at all. To see all the pools, golf course, street signs, all the small details...and a fluid 60 FPS (on my machine at least) is absolutely amazing.

 

I thought I was in love with 1.5.1. This is beyond amazing. I cant wait to see how Caucus will look with the new 2.0 engine. Man this is just beautiful.

Just wanted to chime in. The instant action missions wouldn't start for me at first, but a restart of DCS solved that and.....wow...just wow. It's even better than I imagined it would be. Flew around with the L39 over Vegas and was totally blown away by the visuals. Everything on High, Visibility on Ultra, only dropped CIV traffic to medium. Lowest frames Im getting is 40ish. Mostly smooth sailing capped at 60 FPS.....

 

Im looking forward to spending some more time in Nevada :thumbup:

Still can't get this to download faster than 300k per second on a 50Mb line :(

 

DCS Updater 2.6.4.30

I'm getting 25 Kbit per second on a 1.3 gig file...later for this will have to wait for the rush to be over.

 

edit:

now up to 144 KBytes per second, looking better!

Clouds need a bit of work and modding. Once I get used to where everything is, this will be one of the first things I will work on as long as it's not hard coded of course.

Clouds are still the old ones, the new ones are still being worked on.

I feel your pain. 15 KB per second... since yesterday. The anticipation is unbearable - its like driving to Vegas from Toronto, Canada. With my luck there will be a lineup at the casinos by the time I get there and I wont have anywhere to park my Huey.

Yea, the DL speeds are absolutely horrendous. I'm bopping between 10kb and 1 meg every now and then. Wish it was released on Steam, wouldn't have this issue.

 

Oh well...got a Christmas party tonight, so probably can't fly until tomorrow anyhow.

 

Good luck guys,

I just finished up an A10C mission in the NTTR map with my buddy, Blooze. There really are no words to describe my reaction to the desert scenery. This map was well worth the wait and well worth the download. 1.5 blew me away....but this is just truly awesome. I've been into flight sims for more years than I care to remember and this is what I've always hoped it would someday become. I can't tell you how excited I am for what's coming in the future. THANK-YOU ED!!!! Bravo!!!

Wish I could answer. I've been trying to DL for over 24 hours now. I finally got 2.0 installed after 4 failed updates and trying torrents and regular downloads. Now NTTR can't seem to DL. I know there are a lot of folks bottlenecking the servers and I'm trying to be patient...but geez. Best case scenario I'm flying the SU-25 around tomorrow night because I'll still be trying to download one of my modules other than NTTR.

Yep, on the download train... another few hrs. Getting excited reading all the fantastic experiences from the many of you that are up and flying. Question, the AI passenger jets at McCarran airport... can they be placed as static objects, or are they fixed?
