From Matt Wagner: Another point: The Albatros module will be released as an open beta in September 2015 along with DCS World 1.5.0. This version will use the new rendering engine, but only include the Black Sea map.
I will discuss this more on the next stream. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2438151&postcount=40

Releasing EDGE without the Nevada map is Ok for me. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rendering improvements for WW2 dogfights. Nevada still seems to need quite a bit of work though. Christmas release anyone?

Good, I'm not getting Nevada free anyway, so no point making us wait for it to be done before they release the rest. However, 1.5 is weird. I thought DCS2 was basically everything EXCEPT Nevada? So now we're getting a Q3 release of 1.5 not 2.0. The Jedi Master

I guess they decided that to go to 2.0 it should include everything?
Come on people...be happy that we are getting SOMETHING earlier than expected. I sure am.

A game I own is getting a free upgrade patch, this is where I'm supposed to rage on the internet right?

This is a "cooler heads prevailed" moment. The bugs that are left are probably doosies, as ED is incorporating a lot of changes at once (unified EXE, new graphics engine, new netcode, NTTR, ATC). Hopefully many of the bug fixes for 1.x.x addressed in the 2.0 development track will make it in as well.
For now, I can live without the unified EXE, new multiplayer code and improved ATC (though I'd love the multiplayer code). The incremental release is important to give the long suffering AMD graphics card users some relief and give us a benchmark for what our hardware should look like. And an incremental release will delay the torches and pitchforks that would have come out if DCS 2 wasn't bug free.

Who said ATC is improved? It is being worked on - no ETA though. The Revised ATC work was the stated cause of many crashes in the first live stream. Nate

Hmmm ED say Sept 2015. I doubt it.
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."
