ED: How DARE you put this much effort and love into your products! It’s truly unmatched by anyone. As someone who regularly works with some of these aircraft in the real world, thank you for putting in the effort you do. It’s truly a love letter to military aviation. In all honesty my eyes began to water with the emotion I felt with the amount of love poured into DCS. Thank you.
At 4:27, did you seriously animate a mechanical Poljot, down to the chrono hand and with a fully lumed dial, on a KA-52 pilot's wrist? That's just insane. Well done, ED. This looks amazing!
@@FordSierraIS So MSFS didn't literally raise the bar for Flight Simulators and bring it to a much broader, non-niche audience? What's the point of denying that?
@@charlie7mason fs is the original flightsim, (first version i played was flightsim 4.0) but it doesnt change the fact that its aimed towards casuals and more of a bing maps simulator than a flightsim in my eyes. i get bored with it real fast. talking about msfs on the release video of 2.9 is as disrespectful as bragging about a mcdonalds burger you had on a kobe steak cooking video
You guys have knocked it out of the park man. It is beautiful to see this sim/game come to life every update. Definitely proud to be apart of this commumity.
Lots of great changes. Its obvious that youve been listening to your player base. I'm especially happy about the easier payload saving and in game radio.
The only thing missing is terrain deformation, more realistic particles, therefore much more dense and abundant, to touch reality. excellent job guys, keep it up!
It will be interesting to see how the DLSS looks in VR. In any case, what a time to be alive when we can get this close to the experience of flying combat aircraft! Thanks for all your hard work.
Can't wait to see how it performs. In No Man's Sky going from no AA whatsoever to DLSS Quality Mode makes a difference of 25 to 90fps flat on my 3070 without any too noticable visual impact. It's literally Black Magic. I should probably expect less here, just not to expect too much, but that's a perfect example of how much of a difference it _can_ make.
@@CakePrincessCelestia Let me know if it works for you. For me the options are grayed out. I have a rtx 4090 and I use DLAA on MSFS regularly and it's amazing
@@CakePrincessCelestia I look forward trying it. Problem: On my 4090 the limit mostly wasnt graphics anymore, but CPU on Multiplayer Servers. I love they added TAA because it usually has the best graphic quality.
I've stopped playing until VR is better, hopefully this brings the fps up, a 3090 and reverb should be enough, I'm not blowing 6k to play a game, better use of money is to buy an actual aircraft.
I have been supporting ED for more than a decade. All their products are made with passion, top notch quality, always being transparent with the community. Congrats on this milestone ED.
Well, I´m playing DCS since it was in Version 1.5. There was just the Caucasus Map, the A-10C, MiG-21, Blackshark and some other full fidelity modules like the warbirds when i started playing this wonderfull Simulation. Then, the NTTR Map was released, this map was nearly unplayable, when it came out. In all those years between then and today, so many things have changed. The Sim is looking totally different now. It also feels totally different to play it today. It is really great to see, how DCS evolved in all those years! Thank you ED! Thanks to your work, socially hard times (pandemic) as well as personally very hard times have been much more bearable. Thanks to you, people have found each other, become a team and in the end even friends. See you in the Skies! Bullshark
Man Its mind blowing how Eagle Dynamics can keep out doing themselves. The team there must really love what they do. We benefit with an amazing simulator! So excited.
Wow amazing, the vegetation moving from downdraft and detonations is amazing. Beautiful camera shots are amazing! You've outdone yourselves again! Well done! So impressed with how DCS continues to improve!
Finally got home to watch this properly. Round of applause, round of applause. I almost had a religious moment as some of my prayers were answered. I suspect there are a few more believers out there based on the comments in the comments section.
Thank you Eagle Dynamics for making your products better and better. And today, we celebrate the release of version 2.9! I wish I could spend more time in DCS World than in the real world!
It amazes me how much this game has evolved over the years and they still manage to improve and suprise me! Really good joob everyone at eagle dynamics.
DCS in 10 years OMG 15years of DCS already is crazy, like last year I bought modules for like 300$, tbh I just want to buy more for 200$ just to support the game, I dont have a VR headset yet, so its not good playing without yet, but I really want this game to have a bright future u guys are awesome!
Dear Sir, many thanks for your kind words. You are so correct, all these things take time, way too much time. I wish we could do things faster but it seems this is the reality of complex software. We will continue to do our very best for you and the community. Yours aye, Nick
Looks great. I've never played it but I want to. Looks good enough for the military to use it as a legit training tool. Waaaay better than the crappy sims we used when I was in. Bravo👏
Wow, what a huge array of QoL improvement and additional options for users. While things like the rotor downwash visuals is super cool and much appreciate, I am most excited to see base game fundamental changes like the spotting dots on high resolution and the built in voice chat. You folks at ED have obviously been very busy with all the performance updates as well as the updated graphical options and new models! Haven't seen that amount of NEWs in the changelog in quite some time, definitely worth of a major version number! Thank you all for your hard work, even if a lot of it is behind the scenes and only brought to light in more major updates
Thank You devs, we get verbally loud sometimes, but that is because we’re passionate, and dreamers about the potential of DCS. Keep up the great work to the core engine. If you ask for my feedback, doing great!! Don’t be the last to adopt new technologies to make the game better. Keep up the great work, WWII enthusiast here. Love the modern stuff too.
As someone who has been into DCS since 2016, its absolutely insane how far it has come since then. Its practically an ENTIRELY different game, in literally every single way. Its almost unrecognizable in a side by side comparison :D I never would've thought back then that DCS would eventually become pretty much mainstream in terms of popularity. It was a pipe dream back then. Boy am I damn happy one of my all time favourite feats of software engineering has gotten the attention it deserves. You guys are legends for sticking with this project ^__^
Glad to see a company take pride in what they do and deliver incredible treasures to your fans, supporters, and customers; DCS sets the bar each time they release new versions. Great work!!!
This update is so good. Download took some time, but well and truly worth it. 3:37 - I have wanted this for over a decade. So glad it has been added!!! Cheers ED ❤️
I am particularly thankful for the new voice chat/radio functions, the new optimization, and the loadout saver. Thank you guys very much for the updates.
Wow ! Thank you guys for your dedication to military aviation, at the moment you have virtually no real competition for what you do, because what you do is an old dream for a lot of us aviation enthusiast, although you are no there yet, nobody can't say you are not trying! Can't wait for the day when we will have a world map and official Rafale, Su 30 full fidelity modules :) and a low fidelity F22. Matt, if you can see this message, you know that many of us would pay a lot even for a low fidelity official Raptor! Make it happen!
Oh my! Thanks to everyone at ED and their partners for all the hard work. It is very much appreciated!
Thank you too!
The work can’t be too hard with ED
DCS become better each year, thanks ED
Ingame voice chat and radio is such a nice addition. The new wind effects and camera additions are going to be really nice for video makers.
Genuinely amazing to see how far DCS has come. Incredible work by everyone at ED!

B52 looked beautiful I thought it was flyable for a second.
I don't know how but ED manages to outdo themselves on this beautiful game every time! ❤
Thank you for the kind words!
Too bad it never looks this nice without a supercomputer running it. Let alone in multiplayer servers
@@untrust20332080 runs it just fine and that’s a 5 years old GPU.
@@untrust2033I have a decent pc from Alienware and mine looks like this.
@@untrust2033mine looks this nice on a 3070.
Impressive rotor wash effects. Glad to see the bounds of the engine are being pushed. Work of art.
At 4:27, did you seriously animate a mechanical Poljot, down to the chrono hand and with a fully lumed dial, on a KA-52 pilot's wrist? That's just insane. Well done, ED. This looks amazing!
Its MI-24P pilot's hand
@@littlesparr Fair point. I realized that later but never edited it. Thank you for the correction.
Amazing
DCS and MSFS both make this a glorious time for flight simulation. Congratulations!
msfs pffft! lol
@@FordSierraIS So MSFS didn't literally raise the bar for Flight Simulators and bring it to a much broader, non-niche audience? What's the point of denying that?
@@charlie7masonMSFS is the reason every flight sim upgraded their clouds as well =)
Something to keep us busy with until TWS finally gets released !!! !!!
Great video ❤️

Lots of great changes. Its obvious that youve been listening to your player base. I'm especially happy about the easier payload saving and in game radio.
You guys are why we do this, so of course we try and listen to everything.
@@EagleDynamicsTV thanks. I just wish my graphics card wasn't so potato.
Ar least you now can squeeze a little more juice of of the card with the implementation of DLSS 😊@@major_kukri2430
The only thing missing is terrain deformation, more realistic particles, therefore much more dense and abundant, to touch reality. excellent job guys, keep it up!
I wonder if current engine is inherently unable to handle 1x1m terrain grids, or it is just a lack of digital elevation maps at such resolutions.
Don't forget bigger explosions.
Never forget bigger explosions
Those color grading effects look great, and the custom payloads is MUCH appreciated! Awesome as always ED ❤️
Many thanks dear Sir, kind regards, Nick
Finally a replay system update!!! Fantastic work
It is still WIP, but let us know how its working!
@@EagleDynamicsTV Using position/rotation based recording is a game changer in terms of long duration accuracy. Very good work all
Realisti radio effects! I am in. Thanks DCS. I look forward to trying out the new features.

How do we get the update? Website still shows 2.8 for me.
We have come a long way since 2012 and a CD. Simply beautiful!

Fantastic effort there guys, unbelievable...

Holy smokes! Thank you very much ED!
Wow amazing, the vegetation moving from downdraft and detonations is amazing. Beautiful camera shots are amazing! You've outdone yourselves again! Well done! So impressed with how DCS continues to improve!
a ingame voice chat with preamp, eq and compressor? I am dreaming? My audio nerd inside is very happy

WOW! Kudos to the team on such an incredible looking update.
Love your Airbus Helis in MSFS ;) Great to see you here too!
Holy moly! What an update!!

I can't be more excited for this update🤩 thank you all ED team for your all precious effort❤
I think what makes me most excited about this is that youre just getting started! ❤
Looks great. I've never played it but I want to. Looks good enough for the military to use it as a legit training tool. Waaaay better than the crappy sims we used when I was in. Bravo👏
Free trial periods, though it takes time to learn, and I believe first time users get a major discount.
Very beautiful vegetation and dust effects
I know everyone says it but you guys do a great job and should be really proud of your work. Definitely a company I don't mind spending money on.
Good patch, thank you for the spotting changes, nice one!
Hello World!
The timing on this could not be any better I was just starting work on a awesome new movie, that go pro is a game changer. Amazing job guys!
Rock and roll ED. You have a great game/sim that allows me to connect with my dad every night on the other side of the world! Cheers!

dlss was AWESOME surprise for me.
That's awesome! The only thing DCS needs now is better ground textures.
😳 wow, thankyou matt, and all the team for hard work.. beautiful ❤️❤️
Absolutely stunning! Those grass and tree effects add so much immersion!
Man oh man oh man. Microsoft/ASOBO could learn sooo much from you guys.
It looks amazing!
the voice chat overhaul is a god send, SRS is difficult to keep updated constantly.
Love you guys
