And now we are all going to know what itā€™s like to have a back seat flyer.

LOL @DeadMeat - ED is going to have to implement a first-person shooter component so we can kneecap particularly aggravating multi-crewā€¦ So is there a command ejection sequence we can initiate?

Cue longest ejection scene everā€¦(Iā€™m not so jaded that I didnā€™t actually like the movie thoughā€¦it was entertainingā€¦)

I donā€™t know many people who did like the movie. Still not as terrible as Pearl Harbor, but definitely not good.

@wagmatt and ED. Awesome job on 1.5!! Iā€™m seeing 40-50 FPS better than I saw on 1.2. And I got my setting a bit higher!!! Great job guys and gals!! Cant wait to really dive head first into 1.5!

67

Yeahā€¦that movie is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. I know it wasnā€™t realisticā€¦but I rather enjoyed the way it was filmed (the gritty scenes, the slow mo explosions). I rank it up there with some of the not so celebrated movies like Spy Game and Lord of War as a film that most people probably wouldnā€™t even rememberā€¦but I enjoyedā€¦

I am finally downloading 1.5 and @SiThSpAwN is like

Due to heavy traffic and the torrents not being ready updates to 1.5 are currently suspended.

can you believe it !!? :scream:

Full installers will come tomorrow and once things calm a little, updates will resume.

I am so calmā€¦ :grimacing:

Ah man, thatā€™s a shame :frowning:

If bandwidth isnā€™t a problem you could always download the Steam DCS 1.5 openbeta temporarily - you wonā€™t have all your paid modules, but it would at least allow you to take a look at the new renderer and the Su25T & TF-51.

Note: if you do, just start the base download from the link above, but then pause it, find DCS World in your library and then right mouse button ā€˜Propertiesā€™ and choose ā€˜Betaā€™ (tab) and then select ā€˜openbetaā€™. Itā€™ll download 1.5.

OK, I am giving up on this, updater together with repair telling me the same

web-installs are temporarily suspended

I have better things to do to waste timeā€¦ :unamused:

Why donā€™t you try the torrent? That link seems to be working for me: DCS World 2.8 Open Beta

EDIT: I am also able to download the open beta from the web links noted in the page above. If you can, give that a try.
