What's up with those rumors

Hey Hawk!
I was like this as well until I was convinced there is really no reason to stick with win 7. So eventually I upgraded to 10 and there is no looking back. No problems whatsoever.
Especially looking in the future - months or even years ahead, I think Blue is right: Win 7 support should be no constraint.
keep sharp!
I’m on Win10 as well, sure, since 4-5 years now I think (Maybe less? Not sure but I switched pretty fast after it became stable). But the situation is more complicated than just my own choice

I had to laugh at the guy arguing with Mav-JP, saying he couldnt possibly know whether the BMS FM is accurate or made up….

Are way too many idiots which is not a problem as long as they avoid topics which requires knowledge and not only faith.

@I-Hawk, please, do not get provoked by this asshole.

No worries

yeah, hopefully as you might have noticed, i am under XANAX since DCS F16 release

Oh, if only BMS team had some professional engineers or something……
Im laughing so hard right now XD

Wow lots of broken hearts on that reddit. Bad , Bad BMS forum!

I’m curious what you mean exactly about DX11.3? I know some of the 11.3 features, the one I know the most is related to tiled resources, but that is NOT about quality, it is more of a way to handle dynamic loading better and take advantage of HW virtual texturing ability.
AFAIK there is no difference if you render with DX11, DX11.3, DX12, Vulkan etc… API is an API to execute commands on the GPU, eventually it is what you do and how you do it that will make a difference (API along with the HW of course open up more features for you). i.e there is no such thing as - DX11.3 will get you better look of X without you do any change to it.
Problem with DX11.3 is that it sets a must on Windows 10, and that is a no-go.
A few points here,
First, DX11.3 is ok to use on Win 7, 8 and 10. The mention of using DX11.3 is that it would be able to apply on all of those operating systems. DX12 is Win 10 only. The differences between DX11.3 and DX12 are minor. With the exception of “Ray Tracing” (still under development). Very cool feature but “overkill” for BMS IMO. Tessalation is a big leap forward for what BMS could utilize for GFX in sim. Such as fragments and shock waves can be procedurally created. Nice effects! Many other features to utilize with DX11.3 if the team goes that route. And, your right. API is an API. It is what you can do with it that makes the magic happen. So, don’t know where the eventual trail will lead, but I am sure it will lead to a fantastic place!

I spent 5 minutes there … It looks like these guys are in the Pub after 10 beers and there is no pretty dancer there. LOL :director::hat::argue::fencing::loco:

must to do the same after briefly reading….glogloglo

Yeap it’s a mad house there. Things you read are unbelievable.
The fan part is the guy went there like Mama spank them they don’t play with me. And the topic members are bashing him also. [emoji38] poor guy.Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

That reminds me of trying to educate the keyboard warriors on here about, you know, REAL LIFE harriers, and they tried to tell me how they work. HAHA HAHA!!! Go go gadget keyboard.

cool, but how plausible is to code that into bms using dx9? Deejay, RedDog, May you please enlighten me?

Hey,
Maybe there is a “resolution problem” here regarding the DX APIs
DX11 compared to DX9 include new features that the most important I know are:
HW Tessellation
Texture arrays
HW instancing
Geometry shader
Larger texture resolution support (Up to 16K textures supported by the API)
Larget textures slots can be used for a single draw call (Up to 128)DX11 is available from Win7 and possibly even lower windows versions, but it doesn’t really matter as no one really cares about before Win7.
DX11.2 - Supported from Win8.1 and up and include 1 important feature (There are more but less important IMHO)
Tiled Resources Tier1 supportDX11.3 - Supported from Win10 and include 1 important feature (There are more but less relevant IMHO)
Tiled Resources Tier2 supportThat is what I mean. For me DX11 is the key to the most important features, Tiled Resources are a bonus but not that critical, apparently.

some idea for the clouds:
There are ~Zillion samples of many many features everywhere. Stuff related to UE4/Unity or other 3rd party engines cannot be used in BMS as we can’t depend on any 3rd party engine.
Also when looking at cool features implemented in samples and even in other flights sims, you need to remember the following:
- Some features are out of reach for a team of our scale, at least if we expect to see something ready in this lifetime. For example M$ AI 2D to 3D conversion.
- Some samples may be way too heavy to implement in a full live game engine.
- Eventually in a flight sim things need to be backed by physics. Some samples (E.g fractal terrains) may look stunning and infinitely detailed, but creating physics and collision detection on it may be impractical.
