blockheadgreen_ Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 1 minute ago, CanadaOne said: From the site (below). May I ask why this is disingenuous? Not arguing, I just don't understand. The new Damage Model code with all last fixes is uploaded to build to start Open Public tests on the ED servers shortly. The information about how to connect to test servers will be placed on the forum soon. Such an implementation was never mentioned; all communications with the playerbase implied full release for today. Just a bit miffed so I may be overreacting, but their attempts at community relations need a big step up.

Just a bit miffed so I may be overreacting, but their attempts at community relations need a big step up. They do lack communications skills at times, that's for sure. The carrier release showed that clearly. That said, the "everyone is locked in at home with the plague so try all of our stuff free for a month" thing they had last spring went a long, loooong way to them getting my patience and forgiveness. And planes I bought months and years ago are still seeing quality updates. That's not too bad. Steam hasn't downloaded the update yet, but it's bound to be a few GB. 1 2
Lusekofte Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 I will come home friday. I might at least update the game. Its been month since I started up this. I give a damn in their customer treatment. I am not in that forum. I like many aspects of the game itself.
nirvi Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 The new damage model is now active on two testservers: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/dcs-world-war-ii/western-europe-1944-1945/x-ray-damage-model-bugs/7128391-new-wwii-damage-model-test-servers-are-active
CanadaOne Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Damn! I like updates, but they made the Harrier sensor management more complicated. Might take a while to figure it out. That was the one plane I could handle almost all the system in.

kestrel79 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Curious to hear how the new damage model is. From the email I got from ED it sounds pretty solid. Will it decrease fps even more? I have trouble running DCS in VR enough as it is already. But sounds promising.
Rei-sen Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I wonder when the new DM will be available for an open beta?

I wish they had included a helmet HMCS like in the A-10C II and the F-18. And maybe those little laser rockets. Those are fun for annoying tanks.

Tried it on a new installed game in finnish server. While flying level and added some buttons in settings I got shot down. I feel relatively finnished with online fps gaming. And cfs. I am looking forward to mossie in DCS. I hope it is in P 47 P 51 league. I am in a personal cfs crisis. Have not the faintest idea what to do

I'm flying more DCS than FS20 and IL2 combined. But when I do go back to either after putting it away for a bit, like flying the Hurricane today, I find the game tends to look a bit better.
Lusekofte Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I feel I am approaching DCS monopoly. Msfs needs another type of planes to be really interesting for me. I really would be all over a B 24
LLv34_Flanker Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 S! Any comments on the new DM in DCS? Can't fly until next year some time
Lusekofte Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I tried to update but the computer restarted in the process so it seems to be a reinstall. A endeavor I wont bother.

Rei-sen Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I thought that the DM is something in the client side. Why do you need to connect to a server to get it instead of updating your game files?
CanadaOne Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 The F-18 gun sound got an update. It's nice! Sounds angry. Like a mini Brrrrrrtttt! My Harier gun, however, still sounds like someone rattling a stick inside a tin can.

Right now it‘s only available on 2 testservers, so ED can get more data out of the public tests 1 1

CanadaOne Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Oh dear... the humanity. You can lock on to one poor underpaid shmoo from miles away in the A-10C II and give him the good news with one of those little laser rockets. I'm trying to see if I can kill the fuze on the warhead and use it as an impact drill but haven't had any luck. Be interesting if you could use the Assasinator-10C II as a zero collateral damage device. 1
