Good morning. Well, over here it’s midday already. Hopefully 2.7 will be released before it’s getting tomorrow in Europe.

UK releases usually not until 4/5/6 pm 

[StormBat]

  I'm in Canada, and we usually get new releases by Noon,  Here's hoping, and like dburne I'm getting coffee into me, will go for my daily 10KM walk and by the time I get back it'll be ready to download!

Imagine the virtual pressure that Wags and other devs currently feel. So many fans not to dissapoint...

 

[Lurker]

Is the patch up yet? J\K 

 

First thing Im gonna do is probably a free flight in the L39C in VR on Syria. I just bought the map too, so it's gonna be a double whammy for me. Haven't played it yet, waiting for clouds to drop first. Hopefully my 3090RTX can handle it

Who else transitioned from pressing MiG28 to Ctrl+MiG28 just to make sure there isn't an old page loaded from cache on that patch status thread?

 

I guess ED just shouldn't look here today until the thing is out - but the mods do have to

Surely that’s better than having no fans to disappoint. As a musician I like my audience. Disappointment simply is a compliment in a different form.

Sunny In Copenhagen Denmark.

ED stole the clouds confirmed.

It's 13:42 here, lunch break is over, hit the update switch

[BIGNEWY]

If all goes to plan we will see the patch later today.

 

thank you for your passion and support.

A bit cloudy on the Polish coast, hope to have a similar view in the sim soon!

I can wait to discover for sure, but just out of curiosity, how big will this patch be? (High level figure)

Thx for the jump scare ED

Sounds good! Thanks for the update. At least we know that we are hours or maybe a day or so away at least.

They have already started to release the clouds here in Toronto: See?

 

[Olddog]

I wonder if the clouds will be able to do something like this

Totally underrated comment.

I have to enjoy the clouds before Mi-24 comes out, because then I will only see them from below.

 

I've flown the Ka-50 at 3000m before, challenge accepted. And it dives nicely at up to 500kph if done right. I'm willing to try that in the Mi-24 as well...

They said there will be no significant drop in fps due to the clouds. These are voxel-made and in games like flight simulator or red dead redemption a similar resolution clouds take away not more than 5 fps in ultra quality (smallest voxel) in full HD. The problem starts if you play in resolutions like 4k or VR (like I do) - then I am sure the clouds will have a big impact, since voxel resolution grows in 3 axes instead of only two (as pixels do). So in 4k screen res is 4 times more pixels, but also even more voxels in clouds due to increase in screen resolution. In 4k gaming you have "times 4 times 4 times 4 more" voxels than in HD. Probably some 4k players will have to downgrade to HD resolution, which is a big problem. We will see, hopefully tomorrow...

 

If they're really voxels, I might fear some... voxels are calculated on the CPU and mine is bottlenecking my 1080 already in DCS. But we will see, I'm rather confident

I'm currently in the process of installing Czech and Traditional Chinese Windows keyboard layouts so i have even more keys to press.

 

Someone finally needs to make this, just move it one key left:

 

 

Maybe I should ask Milan Šimundža, this will probably sell like hot cakes 

 

Edit: Think I might have something better to check for the update, just scan the code

Fingers crossed!  Wooooooooo

So, how late is later today? Would like to know as I have to throttle my internet to download. Please and thanks

[dburne]

Gonna need a new forum title (2.7)...

Probably in about 4 or 5 hours from now. That's my guess.

According to "a" source it's a 12GB patch. Don't know how reliable this is but sounds about right...

...if not, we're all seriously f*ck*d...

My graphix is off the motherboard. It handles Syria quite well. In VR, too. My rig? Commodore 64.

[Hiob]

...lazy question:

Apart from clouds and propellers -

are there other not module-specific features, that come with 2.7?

[Napa]

Forums: Everyone's waiting for clouds.

Me: I'm curious to see whether UGRA releases the expansion of Syria map.

Also me: Too busy with work, will spend 5 minutes looking at it and then turn it off
