EDGE aka DCS 2.0 [megathread]

Post by Royraiden » Mon Sep 16, 2013 1:22 pm

From what I've read this map is from a project unrelated to DCS but anyways it shows what can be done on the EDGE engine.


And here it is in action:

Just checking out some of the mods on ED forums. Apparently there are a few texture packs out there that make a difference with the current DCS engine. Problem ist, you either get a texture pack for high alt > 4k or for low < 4k.

Nice cloud / smoke / fire / long distance etc. mods are also available. Guess I'll be tinkering the next couple of days and will report findings as I go.

Wish me luck......

EDGE: Nevada Test Terrain Update

Post by Vlerkies » Wed Nov 27, 2013 10:25 am

from Wags
It's always that last 10%...

Over the last few months, the team has made tremendous progress on both the NTTR art assets and getting EDGE working in DCS. Although we had hoped to have this wrapped up by the end of the year (never promised), I don't see that happening. There are half a dozen art issues that need to be resolved, EDGE integration into DCS will probably not be completed until Mid-December, and beta testing of the map within DCS has of course not been able to start yet.

Nevertheless, progress is being made... just not as fast as we all would like.

I've attached a short video showing some of the areas outside the airbases and downtown Las Vegas.

I have a copy of the original (not very good looking) Nevada map from the A10 beta if anyone wants it to derp around in.
It's fairly easy adding it into World.
