Tonci87 163 Posted January 21, 2015 Did they fix the trees that everybody can fly, and the AI see through? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
negah 26 Posted January 21, 2015 Did they fix the trees that everybody can fly, and the AI see through? Thats what I wonder too. Playing as NATO in Combined Arms against AI is incredibly hard without air support because your force usually gets "Reflexed" even while flanking the enemy behind a treeline. Russian side is on the other hand quite easy as soon as you spot the enemy. I also wish that they improve the AI controlled units, so that they try to get into cover if under fire or close in and engage the attackers instead of just standing idle and dying.

ACPL Jon 68 Posted January 22, 2015 Ahhh, beat me to it. Generally, If You're wondering "what's up with that new DCS"... http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2256929&postcount=1 <- click it. That should give at least few answers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
negah 26 Posted January 22, 2015 Ah the most important info is that it will be a FREE update :D was kind of worried about that, seeing how everyone charges 15€ for a weapon DLC nowadays. The improved performance, unified front end and simulation .exe, more detailed tree models with collision for new maps, and the existance of new maps at all sounds especially great. That the Black Sea map wont get new trees apparently is not that great though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derbysieger 11 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) New ED Newsletter is out. EDGE is coming along quite nicely, mostly bug fixing and implementation of the new MP client & browser - lots of new features there, including dedicated servers, favourites and filters (much needed!). New video of the old Map in DCSW 2.0: New video of the NTTR Terrain (Las Vegas). Video is in real time! The L-39 Albatros is looking good as well, both cockpits almost finished, completely new external model on the way, avionics and flight dynamics are being implemented and refined and the development of multiplayer multi-seat capability is a big focus right now. If the Beta release will feature multi-seat capability is tbd. Video: Work on P-47D and Spitfire MkIX is ongoing but nothing new to show. Work on the F/A-18C is continuing as well, mostly focusing on the implementation of the A-G radar atm. Strait of Hormuz map is also being worked on but focus is on NTTR and EDGE right now. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=142724 Edited April 30, 2015 by Derbysieger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
