*UPDATE: So, I might have been a bit overzealous in my posting of this. To clarify, it looks as though this tech might not actually come to DCS: World in the future. This terrain tech was actually created specifically for a client and it is up to this client if they want to have it added into the game engine. Just FYI, all, we can still dream for now! 🙂

I am a huge flightsim aficionado and we just saw these new videos over at SimHQ today. Basically, they show off what DCS, the folks behind DCS: A-10C Warthog and DCS: World, are doing to their environmental graphics capabilities. I am a bit unsure of the specifics, but this new “EDGE” technology looks to be a huge improvement in the simulation world. It appears as though these videos are showing off the technology in their military and commercial simulator environments – however, it would not be surprising in any way that these improvements don’t get added into their consumer simulations as well.
Checkout the videos below and prepare to be blown away!
