Pues en otro hilo comentamos...., la supuesta salida en Septiembre del famoso EDGE para DCSW....., que es la actualización "clave" de DCSW que lo deja listo para añadir nuevos mapas. La versión 1.5 aún no trae Nevada......
Aquí más o menos están la diferencias o características entre DCSW2 y DCSW 1.5......
DCS World 2
DCS World 2 is the next iteration of the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) series that will include a new graphics engine (developed in our Eagle Dynamics Graphics Engine development environment). It will be a FREE update and all of your DCS World module keys will work with it. In addition to the new graphics engine, DCS World 2 will also usher in the ability to have multiple maps integrated into DCS (both developed by Eagle Dynamics and our 3rd party partners). Maps currently in developed include the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), Strait of Hormuz, and Europe 1944. The Map SDK is available to qualified 3rd party development teams. Interested parties can PM me with detailed proposals.
Some features we plan to include in DCS World 2 include:
Direct X 11 support
Improved performance
Dynamic shadowing of the terrain and mountains
Improved weather
Improved lighting
Clipmap support for new maps
Higher object counts
Higher resolution ground terrain mesh and textures for new maps (between 1 and 64 meters per pixel depending on area of map and clipmap level)
More detailed tree models with collision for new maps
Better graphical effects
High resolution road textures for new maps
Ability for road signs and light signals for new maps
Additional ground clutter (rocks, cactuses, etc.) for new maps
Skeleton animation for infantry
Better use of multiple GPUs (CPU multi-threading is not being pursued as it will provide little if any gain)
Ability to create dedicated servers in the future
Unified front end and simulation .exe
Improved API sound support
Improved Oculus Rift support
The Black Sea map will see several benefits of this including better lighting, improved grass, effects and weather.
DCS World 1.5
Prior to the release of DCS World 2, DCS World 1.5 will be released. This version will be the exact same as described above for DCS World 2 but will NOT include the ability to use new maps. We plan to release DCS World 1.5 along side DCS: L-39 Albatros in September 2015.
NOTA: al parecer para que ED "libere" las herramientas de creación de mapas "oficiales" te tienes que dar de alta como tercera parte oficial (o sea pagar a ED y firmar un contrato).
