I have enjoyed the forums for 9 months now
and Ive read a lot of great info. No where did
I ever see anything that no re-broadcast
was to be published and with all of the
crashes that occurred and audio problems
some were having, I uploaded my captured
video to youtube. I then shared on ED Forums.
Well I got a message from a moderator that I
was not supposed to do so, and I immediately
deleted the two videos off of youtube and
when I went back to the forums to let the
moderator know I was sorry, but had
deleted them, I found that I was banned for life.
This made me feel very bad, and now im sad
that I can no longer chat with friends for
making a mistake unaware.
I have pointed this out the them, that a random person popping in to the Livestream would have no idea about the prohibition on rebroadcast or any of the other rules that might have been buried in the ED forums. I do feel that the restrictions don’t reflect the reality of what you are doing when you Livestream. Shrug…I’d encourage you to reach out to ED and try to explain that to them in a way that makes them reconsider their ban. My opinion.

Thanks to all who tuned in! This was more a test than anything else and we learned a few valuable lessons for the next stream. Once we iron out a few of the most visible issues, I’m sure we will do a new stream which will be archived for later viewing.
Thanks again,
Matt
@wagmatt - I think the stream was extremely successful. The narration, choice of platforms, the tour, were all very interesting. The comments and moderation in the sidebar were perfect. No developer will ever be satisfied with anything other than perfection…but take it from fans of the series, that was really, really awesome.

It was great fun, and very impressive. More please!
So I only got to watch half of the stream (why oh why did I have to have two children and they wanted me to celebrate Father’s Day with them, the monsters! ;)) but here’s my recap impressions:
-
Really nice lighting. Has been a common theme with DCS 2 for me, a nice haze like effect that gets it into more a photo-realistic type domain.
-
Consider the screen recording and twitch etc, the performance looked good for pre-alpha stuff. An impressive amount of stuff moving around the screen.
-
The high / medium density map looks a good compromise, in that a highly detailed core with less ‘fly-over’ stuff is an ok compromise. It sounds like other areas will get fleshed out overtime as well, which is good to hear. I can picture maps being like modules, in that they will evolve over time as things get updated.
-
Such good low-level speed impression - the trees/clutter/bushes give a great sense of shifting as a huge speed.
-
Missile contrails and flares look very much improved.
-
The ‘enlarged model’ is a great idea, and something I’ll be using. Allowing us to see a bit clearer with larger models is a good concession and will make things more enjoyable (for me - you can turn it off if you like
)
What did I miss?
Sith is going to send you his recorded stream to show you… 
No, funny that I missed the first half and you missed the second. The landing in the Su-27 was awesome. The runway and taxiway textures at Indian Springs were awesome. And we determined an Su-27 can (barely) fit in a revetment. LOL…
The F-15 looks great leaving Nellis. They left the half nekid girls out of Treasure Island (darn), but the strip and surrounding areas look great. Ditto on the low level speed…and I love those bombed out cratery looking areas in the Nellis ranges. Just phenomenal all around. Will be interesting to see what clouds they cook up.
Oops. Forgot to come back to this, but what about that F-5E icon?
The Tiger II would make a great addition to the DCS set.
Perfect for NTTR Aggressor Squadrons.
Great for Iran in the Straits of Hormuz.
Good speed, nice set of hard-points.
Thanks for the stream @wagmatt! It was great to see the engine in action and to see the Nevada map! Waiting patiently for more 
Collide-able trees! We can run into them with helicopters!
Matt mentioned something about that for a future stream
Hey mate I missed the stream all together as I was working and in New Zealand it was at 8am is there any chance you or someone you know has a recording. My email is [email protected] and i will not share with anyone. Thanks
I did not record it, but can understand why those around the world would love to see it that didn’t have the opportunity to see it (lots of Dads doing Dad things on Father’s Day, plus the whole “it’s 4am in Timbuktu” thing…) Hopefully someone at ED has the stream and will put together the highlights and post it up.
