DCS 2.7 Discussion

Getting a supper variant of the Forrest fire would be a great synergy: you’d sell tomcats to those want tiny old boats and you’d sell suppercarriers to those who want people on their boats. It’s a win-win!

Of course getting in such a complicated yet desirable deal is a surefire recipe for stomach ulchers. Poor cobra.

Still on for 14th. Slightly more optimistic even.

Big patch in two days?

God help us all.

:sweat_smile:

I’m excited about the clouds, but remember that the Viggen and Tomcat basically became day only fighters with the new night lighting and (temporarily) incompatible cockpits. Plus the huge VR performance loss (that eventually seemed to recover). Hopefully 2.7 is a smoother transition. We certainly live in exciting times, and are lucky to have ED (weird to say that!) as a developer, they’re doing awesome stuff.

Last night I dreamed about the Mi24. My brain hasn’t been bugged by that level of anticipation since Black Shark.

This time they gave 3rd parties a grace period , it seems. At least it sounded like the 2 week pushback happened to enable adequate quality assurance for 3rd parties. That isn’t a lot of time, but let’s hope it was enough.

My dreams are frequently invaded by Antonov 225’s. Its nothing to be ashamed of. At least your excited by an aircraft you can learn how to operate and enjoy. I just want to photograph the bloody white whale

Here’s something on 2.7 from a source I’m not familiar with; clips I’ve not seen before to include the helo, and of course clouds.

Wow, that military assets pack at the end of the vid came out of nowhere. It’s really well done. Thanks for sharing the vid jross!

Those assets look awesome! Hopefully they’re animated and can be used in making an airfield feel more alive.

Can anyone clue me in on what the LHD deck is for?

The LHD deck is called “training deck” no sure what it’s for exactly.

The objects arent animated/mobile tho, they’re under “fortification” in the ME.

Just so there’s no confusion, it’s a mod, it’s not from ED.

Was anyone able to successful make a Naval Outlying Field mod with the mobile carrier IFLOS thingy?

Oh, well interesting too, I’m picking up it’s a paid mod?

Also has there been any talk about Crete being added with this update? I’ve been away from the sim for a couple months here.

Edit: thanks for the link!

It’s a donationware (is that a word?) You can chose to donate $0

Cyprus will be added to the Syria map, not sure if it’s with this update tho

I’ll check it out…! Thanks!

Oh wait, it’s this mod, sorry.

Ah, I see. That’s too bad, I wish ED would work out a deal to incorporate some these really excellent mods into the base game. Maybe throw a couple of bucks to the authors for their hard work. There is some great stuff out there that hardly sees any use because mods aren’t prevalent in the public MP servers.
