It is strange than how the shrike has zero difficulty hitting a rotating search radar; if it is indeed following the beam, it should be swayed by the rotating beam. That is not the case right now. I can hit a p19 without fail every time, but not the tracking radar. Based on what is described above, a split S would push the tracking beam down, and a lofted shrike, which would be way above the beam, would have zero chance acquiring.

Just SSD due to the SSD controller...

That is great news Pluton ! I am super happy for you the Quest 3 , 512 GB , is an outstanding product that you can enjoy for many years to come. Welcome to the Quest 3 owners-club ! I truly love my Quest 3S and I will never launch DCS without it.

The symptoms are identical as well as the way to cure it, cold reboot, aka disconnect the AC PLUG or flick the rocker switch for 5 seconds. This is KB5063878, it just also affects Samsung drives. If it was 1 drive...maybe...but 4 drives on one day, that is a clear sign of not a single HW issue but a common software issue of some kind, be it UEFI, Bios, Drivers, etc etc.. Thing is, the KB is not uninstallable ! It is shown as installed but not among the ones I can uninstall. Caught between a rock and a hard place. If it gets worse, there will be a 9x Sata SSD order to ship around that issue. It, to my understanding, only affects NVMe and no Sata...or am I wrong.

I am not so sure..... Thing is that many of the big servers aren't using it because is not clear where they want to take this thing. Maybe they are working but the lack of concrete roadmap is telling.

I don't think this is a BIOS issue. I think the issue comes from the various updates DCS has made that inadvertently impacted multi-thread support. Something happened because DCS got nothing but praise when they released an update that specifically addressed a significant improvement to Multi-thread support, and they delivered. Since then I think one update was released in 2024 to address a multi-thread bug but nothing after that. We've all been down this road before where one update fixes A, B, C, D but breaks X. It's not the Devs faults as they can't be expected to beta test every single different configuration out there but when it comes to a vital feature like Multi-thread support, it's a feature that needs to be tested after every update on various machines to ensure compatibility/stability. This is free performance that we cannot use due to a bug in the updates that wasn't there before. Obviously I'm not a DCS dev but if I was one I'd get my hands on a 14900k machine and start running some tests. This does not look like an isolated incident.

DCS. Digital Combat Simulator. It's been the title of the game for more than a decade. Unfortunately, book titles are deceiving...

In south of Dubai mission, I send DEVIL 3-4-5 to CAS india, DEVIL 2 to CAP C, still no joy. They hit only 6 vehicles. I give up.

My issue is slightly different is that when editing any ground units show as Blue even when I place Russian ones

It has not to do with KB5063878 SDD issue because Samsung SSDs do not use the Phison controller as my learning. But the symptom is very likely....

Yeah. The main takeaway is that the radar needs to point at the Shrike. Which the SAM has no interest in, it follows you or other aircraft. So that is something you have to keep in mind regarding positioning and similar.

Just in case the Dev Team is unaware of the conflicts with the ILS beacons for the CW Map. I've noticed that when on the Ramp at Hahn AB the Spandehlem ILS Localizer is received (108.10) as this is the default Freq for the Viper on initial startup. In troubleshooting, this also occurs for Air Starts between Hahn and Frankfurt. This also occur if the Bitburg ILS (111.90) is tuned. My guess is the localization radio is set for a wide area transmission rather than a localized beam signal. Currently, Hahn's ILS is programmed to 112.30 for Rwy 03 and 112.00 for Rwy 21. These are invalid ILS system radio frequencies. The ILS system typically operates between 108 to 111.95 in 5 Mhz increments. In fairness, I'm not familiar with Eastern Block Aircraft where the frequency range may be different. I'm not sure if this is a Map issue or a F-16C module issue. I have asked others about this occurrence and received the same results.

Just had this happen on a MP server, 10 GBU-12's loaded, dropping singles and it was the 3rd bomb released as stated above. Level drop, no negative G's. Also I do not have any mods installed.

Hi, thank you for the report, currently this is not implemented, we may see it added in the future, but for now I have moved to wish list. thank you

Not technically a beam rider. It just tracks an emitting radar by its main lobe only. The radar has to illuminate the Shrike's seeker with the Main Lobe for the Shrike to track. This means that my attack profile usually involves a split-s. Remain in line with the axis you fired on.

Может через новую фичу с сохранением можно так сделать: включить и подготовить всё что нужно, сохранить, и сделать старт миссии с этого места?

I have asked the team and they are reviewing the files for the terrains. thank you

This head set intrigues me. When I first used the CV1 the blacks & the feeling of Hight when sitting in the A10 on the ground was so different compared to how is is now. Have owned many headsets but would like that feeing back.

Thanks, I hear you. Just figured that since ED responded to this thread just a week before I posted that it would get some notice.

That's interesting, I updated my BIOS to latest versions as soon as they were released to mitigate the degradation issues. I'll wait for the fix and if it doesn't solve it, then I'll revert to older BIOS versions. Thanks for sharing your observations.

It's about the pitch angle (impact angle) of the bomb

Bad news for all guys, I have just built 9 identical PC's and at least 4 of them suffer the new SSD-Kill bug or how you want to call it. Afaik no Samsung drives have been mentioned so far but I HAVE IT ON FOUR NEW BUILDS, identical builds ! -AMD 9600X -Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi 1.0 -Gskill 32GB 6000-CL30 -Samsung 990 Pro 1TB -Seasonic 500w Platinum Fanless All Updates, drivers etc... NONE of the drives is more than 60% full, NONE of the PC's was doing heavy lifting while it happened, totally random - out of the blue - reboot to Bios and missing drive. Make a Backup while you can....some drives are broken after the re

The simple answer is that the AI cannot drop two different types of bombs in a single pass. If however you select bombs all of the same type then ALL the bombs will be released if selected. The option to select for a full bomb release is 500lb GP Short tail*4 this option was added because of the AI processes linked to bomb release. I hope this helps. Cheers.

I have saved both track files if necessary. Besides that all missions were flawless so far. I really enjoy the campaign!

Вот кстати, в ДКС очень не хватает промежуточного варианта между горячим и холодным стартом. Когда самолёт уже стоит под питанием, инерциалка выставлена, все системы требующие прогрева\подготовки включены.
