Quick update from the frontlines, 4.36

<p>@justonce01 We’re thinking about it but far from there…</p>

<blockquote>Will there be any changes to the installation process, either in the upcoming version or future releases? What I mean is changing from the current “patch the installer with updates” to a more common “install updates after installing the game”?<br /><br />I don’t know if this has been discussed before or if there have been answers as to why it’s not possible.</blockquote><p><br />when you think about it our installer is just strictly identical to steam<br /><br />you download updates via steam and them stea updates the game<br /><br />the problem we have is that our public installer do not use the « check and doWnload » buttons<br /><br />only our internal installer uses that function<br /><br />that is because this installer does not use torrent and if we use the check and download then we would have to host the file at a unique place which would make our distribution very painfull<br /><br />that is why you find our installer weird , this is because it was designed for internal distribution with a unique source of DL but lacking torrent built in and therefore is useless for you guys. <br /><br />sorry but we have some other priorities than redoing a torrent capable installer for now <br /></p>

<p>Very nice!</p>
-
<p>A new fullscreen User Interface maybe? With integrated WDP? </p>
-
<p>@hiuuz UI isn’t going to be changed according to previous reports IIRC. It is a very hard nut to crack with how it was built.</p>

<blockquote>will the so called link 16 be implemented in 4,36?<br /><br />no<br />you need to face reality<br /><br />it is extremly complex to use and would need major upgrade of AI<br /><br />TBH when I read docs about Link16 I wonder how this would be possible to sue it without proper real training<br /><br /><br /></blockquote><p><br />Could you detail this?<br />I work on Link16 training (on a different platform). One day I tried to analize the possibility of having L16 on BMS, but I thought that it was not done before due to the limitations of the Falcon Bubble. On Link16 the C2 sends a J3.2 for surveillance tracks sending you the position of air hostiles, however on bms if the hostiles are out of the bubble, C2 can only send you what is seen on the 2D screen, right? This would mean that a hostile formation cannot be seen outside the bubble as several aircraft, but as a formtation of Xship aircraft, right?<br />Regarding the implementation of the TN management and network, that could be done automatically by the DTC, as the COMPLAN does now. Briefing page could extract even an OPTASKLINK. Then on the aircraft just power it up and syncro, and ready. <br /></p>

<p>what is falcon bubble can you explain what is does? </p>

<p>3D models and maths disappear outside of the bubble, it turns back to 2D and probabilities (dice). <br /></p>

<p>@LorikEolmin Darnit…! I wanted to answer that question, Lorik, but you went and burst my bubble…!</p>

<p>and i guess they invented bubble for better performance? why you cant have 3d models and units not aggregated and maths all over the map? if i understand correctly<br /></p>

<blockquote>and i guess they invented bubble for better performance? why you cant have 3d models and units not aggregated and maths all over the map? if i understand correctly<br /><br /></blockquote><p>Yes. Get on a DCS MP server/lots of units SP mission and watch the difference in CPU usage (why DCS can be both CPU or GPU bound depending on what you are doing), and you will appreciate the genius of the Falcon bubble.</p>

<p>@Snake122 <br />i aggree with you definetly ,my only objection is campaign, seems that bubble doesnt help a lot <br /></p>

<blockquote>@Snake122 <br />i aggree with you definetly ,my only objection is campaign, seems that bubble doesnt help a lot <br /><br /></blockquote><p>Because you tried without?</p>

<blockquote>@Snake122 <br />i aggree with you definetly ,my only objection is campaign, seems that bubble doesnt help a lot <br /><br /></blockquote><p>Doesn’t help what? <br />Without this we cannot host a campaign on 1024km x 1024km… <br /><br />L16 is a challenge but not impossible… Again will be a lot of work so we’re not really in a hurry to implement it… </p>

<p>@MaxWaldorf @Seifer<br /><br />doesnt help a lot to performance of campaign comparing to tactical engangemet missions.<br />thats what i mean , i believe that this is a wise system i mean the bubble system but i cannont understand why campaign has lower<br />performance or is more demanding since TE and campaign has the bubble system i assume there is more involved to campaign’s lower performance and when i mean performance i mean lower fps . well for sure my pc doesnt help .<br /><br /> and i dont want to be misunderstood i dont criticize the bubble system <br /><br /><br /></p>
