DCS 2.5 Update Thread (2020)

Is the thumbnail for this video teasing new weather system? I didn’t see the clouds looking that in my sim. Currently I’m sitting and waiting for the weather and dynamic campaign update, after they hit I don’t care if not all features of the Viper, Bug, Turkey or the Whistling Sh*tcan modules are completed. I will jump all in.

Maybe new clouds will be a DCS Christmas present to all of us.

The video itself shows regular old 'n busted clouds… I’m not getting my hopes up.

My guess, we won’t get any new effects until they are done migrating to Vulcan.

Time flies!
Next time you blink they’ll add proper clouds or something crazy like lights lighting up water!

Something’s different with those clouds. The modeling is the same but the shape is different. I’ve never seen them that oblong and flattened before. They’re usually shaped like slightly deformed cotton balls.

Logical. Flawlessly logical.

Fascinating.

And what about the KC-130? I’d swear they did “something” to it in the recent past; was pulling away from getting some gas the other day and noticed it just looked, well, “better”. Thought there was an extra antenna on the bottom too. But maybe I just never looked that close before.

Didn’t they say there was going to be some big announcement in Q4, perhaps new weather and the release of the hind is it :grinning: ( really hoping for the hind)

I just saw this over on the ED Huey forums from Big Newy

“Completely different, what we are doing with the new multicrew for the UH-1H is going to lay foundations for future multicrew with more than 2 crew.”

Does this mean Door Gunners ?

DCS: B-25 Mitchell. Oh yeah. Get some!

Heck, let’s dream big: they cracked the lock on multiple engines! DCS: B-17!

I assumed it was the plan all along, the product page states: “Multiplayer coop mode for crew members of the same helicopter under development for a -much- later update.”
