Lurker Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hopefully this includes a rework of the atmospheric boundary layers and turbulence in particular at some point. Looking forward to getting knocked about while flying in bad weather. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mizzy Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Will the new clouds be available before 2.7 or do we have to wait for the said ? Mizzy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I think it's fair to say they will come with 2.7. They initially announced we would get them with 2.6, then they said they'd skip 2.6 altogether and go straight to 2.7. That doesn't leave much room for misinterpretation, I'd say.

Lurker Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 We even have a tentative date. It says March 2021 under the video description. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hoirtel Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 There does seem to be a bit of a worry from some people that the new clouds are going to cause a massive fps penalty. Am I right in thinking that as they are launching with 2.7 we are also due the first version of DCS on Vulkan at the same time? Link to post Share on other sites
Etirion Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 No, Vulkan isnt part of the 2.7 plans, thats expected for the 3rd quarter: Official News 2021 - Official Updates - ED Forums (eagle.ru) 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Am I right in thinking that as they are launching with 2.7 we are also due the first version of DCS on Vulkan at the same time? Vulkan might not be planned for 2.7, but there is no reason to think that there might be some much needed optimization done to the base core engine and the DirectX runtimes in that particular patch. So far what we've heard from Eagle Dynamics is that the FPS drop should be pretty negligible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hoirtel Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Ah yeah. I should have checked the letters on the forum. I wasn't too worried about any fps drop, just seem that some of the streamers are expecting it. I'm just looking forward to cloud surfing in VR for the first time! Can't decide what a/c to use.

Reaper2 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Have the new clouds been delayed? The video used to say it's coming in March but they changed it to "We are excited to bring this to you later this year." Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit I didn't see the original message, but I did find it odd that this seemed to be the only place where a timeframe was mentioned. However having said that I do remember the F16 launch the date was provided in the YT description and not mentioned in the video! Link to post Share on other sites
BIGNEWY Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The video is correct, clouds are planned for later in the year, planned for Q1 2021 we made this clear in the newsletter. It is a plan, if it changes we will let you know. So far on track. thanks 2 3 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Lurker Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Yeah, everything with ED is subject to change. Delays should not surprise anyone by now, unless they are really new, although disappointment seems to always lurk just around the corner with regards to time-frames and eagle dyanmics. In this case, it was probably a case of my big mouth mentioning "March" as a tentative date, so admins removed it, just in case this "date" was missed so people wouldn't cry about it. Still if they are not coming in March, and they are not coming sooner, then they are not coming in Q1.... Edited February 10 by Lurker 1 Link to post Share on other sites
