And now we are all going to know what it’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-crew
 So is there a command ejection sequence we can initiate?

Cue longest ejection scene ever
(I’m not so jaded that I didn’t actually like the movie though
it was entertaining
)

I don’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!! I’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

Yeah
that movie is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. I know it wasn’t realistic
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 wouldn’t even remember
but I enjoyed

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 calm
 :grimacing:

Ah man, that’s a shame :frowning:

If bandwidth isn’t a problem you could always download the Steam DCS 1.5 openbeta temporarily - you won’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 ‘Properties’ and choose ‘Beta’ (tab) and then select ‘openbeta’. It’ll download 1.5.

web-installs are temporarily suspended

I have better things to do to waste time
 :unamused:

Why don’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.
