I think that if the sniper is how is simulated and different from the litening is because is properly wanted and simulated: iIf it were a real device, we might think it could have problems but but if it was done like this I think that's exactly how it should be..or not?

The point of this thread imho is to give people one place to express their concerns, anger, ideas, speculations, hope,... until there is an end of the issue. Maybe this prevents other threads from beeing used for that purpose. You're obviously right with this Hydra thing, but it still has a use for many.

Yes. This is the point. It’s part of the biggest picture as you said.

will this be fixed soon

Litening = game Sniper = simulation ?

I can't seem to catch this guy

Thanks scommander2 - did some checking and this is what I found: my CPU has 5 cores Paging size is running at 4864 accross all drives - is that enough etc ?? Memory use - maybe this is interesting - just taxing the F/A 18 as follows CPU percentage at 66% - 76% Memory at 7640MB (50%) GPU useage 60% Power useage at High to Very Hign (in the RED) All that seems high to me for just 1 x aircraft taxing at Medium details - but I'm not aware of how this compares Your thoughts

Good Questions, I'll have have a look at tis - not sure exactly how but will investigate Thanks

The update today did this to me. Not impressed nor pleased by ED doing such to my pc without my permission. Wrong on so many levels.

When zooming out the external camera, a part of the inside textures dissappears on the starboard wing, see screenshot. When zooming back in it reappears. Happening now since the last update! Track file included: https://mega.nz/file/zNAXBJqD#_a423Qrdxx16-Nkf9fiMLaNYB5csHqbU_MIlM4-Hb2A Other than that, I love the update, the FM refinements feel great and the new cockpit textures are looking really realistic!

A quick question: the CPU has 10 cores, is it right? Another question, what was the memory usage while running DCS since there is 32G memory? Have tried to increase the size of the paging size?

You have absolutely no evidence to sustain that. It can absolutely be a bug.

If you have something other than "logic" to describe how the Sniper should be operating than feel free to share. Otherwise, it's working as expected.

How can I know what those "server", "mission", "scripting", "gui", "export", "config", "zone" mean and what they can do? I hope the answer won't be "guessing", "trying" and "testing". Is there a doc to explain this api?

As I already told you: being a newer pod with better optics, it would be expected that the Sniper would have greater zoom. There would be no reason to reduce the digital zoom capabilities to a point where it has less overall zoom than previous generations of pods. If older generations of pods could get that level of digital zoom, newer generations will obviously use at least that much digital zoom, if not more, coupled with the better optics.

Many thanks for the advice!

Finally got my first chance to try her out, and I answered my own question. ADI is now working and generating full MAP. Handling is MUCH improved, and she no longer bounces all over (I may even turn down my curves/saturation a bit) so gunnery is cleaner. Oh, and THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for having Quick Action start with guns hot and sight on. I WOULD like an option to set convergence from the Quick Action loadout, unless I'm missing it somewhere.

XR mode is not just digital zoom. It is also an image processing technique as evidenced by the unique way it interacts with slewing of the pod and time it takes for the clearer picture to come in. Again, the level of digital zoom available is completely up to whoever programs the software in the pod or aircraft. It has nothing to do with the capabilities of the pods themselves. IRL, the 4x-9x range in the LITENING would be mostly useless as the pixelation would be terrible. Even the 4x in the Sniper also seems pretty useless from the one screenshot I have seen of it.

Again, that doesn't mean the Litening would have greater zoom. The Sniper can have digital zoom too (in fact, the XR mode is a digital zoom). Both have optical and digital zoom, and the Sniper is a newer pod with more powerful optics, so the most logical thing would be for it to have greater zoom overall (for instance, same level of digital amplification over a greater optical zoom, would yield a greater final zoom).

If we get the air-to-air only EF next year (and it's as polished as the F-14 was on release) I'll be happy, I figured it was further away than that. @baltic_dragon I noticed your roadmap says 'Eurofighter Tranche 1' - has HB said anything more about which tranche we get, or is this just a 'worst case'?

It's just software zoom. The Sniper is more powerful as far as Analog optics, and it's XR mode. The digital zoom is just a number that's programmed into the pod and/or aircraft software with some max ceiling. If you really want to compare them properly, it would be with the LITENING at the same 1x level in its narrow mode.

Ivandrov: I can imagine that's the case, but that doesn't explain why the Sniper would have less zoom than the Litening, it should still be the other way around.

More options for AI tasking would be nice. Along with different shapes, being able to edit the 50% disengage radius is needed. The logic behind having is sound but for large zones it quickly becomes too big and for small zones it becomes too small. The existing other engage tasks also need some tweaking.
