Sappo Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 THanks for the update Not 100% sure I like the direction the newsletter is going with the inclusion of 'free' patches and 'paid-for-addons' But heck any news is good news... Just hoping we don't have to start paying for every new skin and feature added (ala modern warfare series) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 @EtherealN: the only Nevada I know of is the one in USA, so are you saying theres a code name being used to make a Nevada map but not Nevada USA? If that's not the map we tested in the A10c beta version what was that? It was a map? It was Nevada, are you saying you have recoded it to work with DCS engine? If that's it, then that's the same Nevada map in a since thats it's Nevada USA. I'm confused already (not the same map):pilotfly: " any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back, " W Forbes "Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts," Winston Churchill " He who never changes his mind, never changes anything," MSI z690MPG DDR4 || i914900k|| ddr4-64gb PC3200 || MSI RTX 4070Ti|Game1300w|Win10x64| |turtle beach elite pro 5.1|| ViRpiL,T50cm2|| MFG Crosswinds|| VT50CM-plus rotor Throttle || G10 RGB EVGA Keyboard/MouseLogitech || PiMax Crystal VR || 32 Samsung|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) DCS: Renault Nevada. I'm sure you know what I mean. :) The Nevada map in the beta used the old terrain engine and began as a 3rd party effort. The Nevada talked about here is using a new and improved terrain engine and is developed directly by the ED office in Minsk, with input from some of the people involved in the original Nevada map.

joey45 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 They remade it from scratch in the new terrain engine The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Jona33 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Can someone enlighten me on combined arms.Will I be able to pilot an A10 or a KA50 against ground units that are being commanded by a real person?That would be most excellent!! Fairly sure of that. As well as being guided in by a real person too. I need this. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shagrat Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 News are... hmm, NEWS? I don't see why people are flaming ED for sending out a Newsletter that simply put, has "news" aka "information" in it. I really like a newsletter that in a compact form puts all updates on the roadmap together, so I don't need to monitor the forum all the time (not that I do it anyway:music_whistling:). At the late months I saw lots of people nagging and asking for information about this and that, complaining about why ED is doing things in parallel rather then focus on their "favorite" Module. Bottom line some people will never be happy or satisfied...:smilewink: Let's face it: Developing Simulations is a huge effort, takes immense ressources from research, to programming, to testing, to bug fixing etc. Everything we get that is bug free, and accurate is x-times better than playstation-controller compatible HAWX-Crap that is "easy accessible" for maximizing revenue. I appreciate two things ED is doing: First they do quality stuff, before pushing obscure release dates to max out sales (e.g. no bugged, quick and dirty Nevada release for Christmas). Second, we may disagree on pricing strategies, but when I compare any ED title or Add-On to "normal" releases, or some cinema tickets, or a MS FlightSim Add-On, the pricing is more than reasonable, don't you think? So calm down and appreciate what we get delivered. Or as is a common phrase on this forum: "It's done when it's done!"

BrumTx Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Let me ummmm re-phrase then Eth and this is not meant to start a flame war or anything it's just a plain and simple comment 18 months just seems like a long time even though we know (95% lol) that it will be worth it. Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11....... Selective memory is a wonderful thing, especially when certain posts simply disappear into the ether never to be seen again, unless I have a copy of the original post copied and pasted into word documents and saved .... just in case :) Am I an abusive idiot ?

element1108 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) I like the news letter format, it's nice getting an email with this info in it. Means you don't have to sift through as many complaints sometimes ;) (sorry complainers, no offense..Merry Christmas). It's nice to know when to expect Nevada now, there are a lot of cool things going on with ED between now and the summer so given I have two of the most complex sims I'm still mastering, there's lots to do between now and summer 2012.

ralfidude Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Summer... Nevada.... summer??? At this point, I am sure that it's taking this long, because they are working on the capability that after long flight hours, we will be able to land on the strip, and hop out of the canopy, and walk to the nearest casino, where we can meet with other pilots on break and have a game of blackjack. Id expect nothing less. :) [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckram Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Does anyone know what the flying legends sim entails?

EtherealN Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I was surprised to find I'm the only complainer on the forum, I feel all alone. Your problem is that you assumed that the newsletter was exclusively meant for people who hang out daily on this forum. It wasn't. In fact, the portion of ED customers who even have an account here is miniscule, and the newsletter is a way to get the word out to that majority.

primus_TR Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'm looking forward to the combined arms add-on. JTAC role will be definetly interesting (I suspect it may become boring after a few sessions tho :music_whistling:), but I'd also appreciate a bit more detail on the particulars of the proposed resource management system. Also, will Combined Arms be a fully external module with a stand-alone .exe, or will it be run from within A10, BS2 or FC3? I'll buy it anyhow but still it'd be nice to know...
