I was thinking that if the shader recompilation process needs to take some time, it should be useful to show some kind of message about that, so we should know that some regular process is underway and the game is not frozen because of a bug.

After I enabled the full debug log with your autoexec.cfg, I saw this line: 2022-09-17 17:30:02.211 ALERT DX11BACKEND: Error: Can't find precompiled shader for effect deferred/compose.fx:DIRECTX11=true;MSAA=2;USE_DCS_DEFERRED=1;USE_SHADOWS=1;USE_SSAO=1;. Recompilation process will take some time, please wait (this situation should not occur on end user PC, if there is no manual shader editing) This time I gave the game 10 minutes to load, and it finally loaded. Now it is loading normally

Today I updated the game to 2.7.17.29493 open beta, and after I try to start the game, it fails to load. After the user login, nothing is happening. On the taskbar, I see the DCS program with the info "Loading...". Sometimes it goes to the black screen with a wait cursor and after a while, Windows displays a message that the program is not responding. I have attached the dcs.log and DxDiag files. What I have tried so far: Removed all mods (Tacview was the only mod I'm using) I have deleted fxo and metashaders2 folders Renamed Config folder Disconnected all the hardware I could (e.g. joystick, track ir...) Any ideas? dcs.log DxDiag.txt

I can confirm, that after the last update (DCS 2.7.1.7139 Open Beta), the situation with this issue is much better. I made a small video that shows how it looks now, with the same graphics settings as I posted before (MSAA 4x; SSAA Off). Pay attention to the bottom of the aircraft, when the white cloud is behind!

In addition to the problem I have described in the post https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/268916-aircraft-edges-problem-when-the-aircraft-is-in-front-of-the-clouds/ I found another problem related to antialiasing settings. When I change MSAA or SSAA settings, after the mission load, the game crashes to the desktop. I have sent a bunch of error reports after the crashes. Sometimes, the game doesn’t crash, but the graphics became broken. After the mission load, the game looks like this: or this and this instead of this After the restart, graphics become normal, but after the next change of the MSAA or SSAA setting, the problem reappears! I didn't have this problem before 2.7. I have tried to delete a "Saved Games\DCS" folder, but that doesn't solve the problem. The repair option was not helpful either. My system specs are: AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 16 GB of RAM Asus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, with latest drivers Kingston SSD Windows 10 64-bit with latest updates installed.

Does anyone have a problem with aircraft edges when the aircraft is in front of the clouds? Please see the provided screenshots. "Effect" is present on all types of aircraft I have tested (all FC3, F-18, MiG-21...) and it only disappears, when I set SSAA to x2, but then the FPS drops down drastically (from 60+ down to ~20 FPS)! I have provided the screenshot of my graphics settings too. I'm using NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card, and before 2.7 I haven't got this "effect" on aircraft edges.

That was a problem! Thank you! I didn't wait for full INS alignment. Alignment took me ~8 mins to complete, but with "STD HDG" option enabled on the HSI MFD, time for the alignment is drastically reduced to ~1,5 mins! And a little update for my first post. Only BALT and RALT autopilot options had a problem if I take off without INS aligned.

After I do a cold startup (as it is described in the tutorilal), autopilots are not working. When I press A/P button I get labels ATTH, HSEL, BALT and RALT, but when I click on the appropriate button, nothing happens and I don't get the "colon" indicator that the autopilot is active. When I do an automatic startup with LWin+Home, autopilots are working properly. It must be that I'm missing something during the startup! What? I'm using newest Open Beta v2.5.6.59398.

Bug confirmed on non-Steam version too (MiG-29, F-15...). But, no matter what I have tried, I couldn't produce blackout state on SU-27 at all!?

Light is not at old place (at front panel). I suppose you are looking for it there ? Look at panel near pilots right leg (a bit back). It is there in SU-27/33.

Yes...where pls ? :)

I have reported this issue in FC3 bugs thread after a previous patch, but seems it is not solved. It is not a big problem and does not affect gameplay, but I'm sure its not hard to correct this issue too.

Thank you for your answer ! I have found MIST instructions on this forum, so I'll try to make a mission as you described.

After patch 1.2.4 problem still persists. Any chance to fix it in some of the next patches ?

Probability of presence in mission editor is great option to avoid lineariti in missions, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to add something like "radius of deployment" ? This would make missions more interesting and dynamic, because enemies could spawn then on different positions on each mission start.

Agree... Very good suggestion !

I can hear voice-warnings after I eject from the aircraft (SU-27...not sure for the rest)

So...this is working to me to avoid mouse focus problem: 1. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services 2. Find "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager" and stop service 3. You can set Startup type option to Manual or Disabled to avoid this service starting after reboot You wont have Aero effects anymore, but mouse will work properly into sim. Haven't noticed any other effects to my system so far. I hope DCS will solve this problem in next patch.

I was testing this option again... When I put all forces to "No" and fighter planes to "Max" I must generate mission about 10 times to get fighter planes into it, and I can get only F-16C, F/A-18C or MiG-29A fighters. Sometimes mission generator "forget" to include even player aircraft into mission (as it is shown at attached picture) I was testing with SU-27 and F-15 aircrafts. I suppose that mission generator is connected with templates, so do I need to include fighter aircrafts into all templates ? Is it some kind of manual for those mission templates I can find somewhere ? Can I choose somehow what templates mission generator should use ?

I can't find if someone posted this problem previously, so I'll put it anyway. I have tried to generate few missions with "Create fast mission" option using FC3 airplanes and noticed that fighter planes are not been generated at all !? No mater what options I choose, I can't get fighter planes.

I can confirm this problem, but seems that it happens to me randomly. I just can't catch what triggers a problem. Sometimes ranges are good sometimes not. I have noticed a problem with "LA" (or "ПР") indicator too...but not always. "LA" is missing when target is in range, so I must do launch override to launch a missile.

Same problem here... I was uninstalled DCS World 1.2.1 from my computer, then installed 1.2.2 as a fresh installation. After DCS World installation I have installed Black Shark 1.2.2 and FC3. BS is loading very slowly (much slower than before). And...I don't know what FC3 loading time should be, but I think that FC3 loading time is not much better than BS's ! ------ System spec: Win7 Home Premium 64bit; AMD X4 640 CPU; 4 GB RAM; SATA HDD 750 GB; GeForce 450GTI 1GB

After 1.2.2 problem with mouse focus after cockpit loading is still there ! Alt+tab is solution I'm using (still) :huh:
