Wow Less than a week...

Parts of the product are in beta. Other parts are not. The parts mentioned in the post to which DayGlow was replying referred to Flaming Cliffs 3 mainly, which is very much a beta. Also, the improvements such as further 6DOF cockpits had not been mentioned as part of 1.2.3. In fact it had been stated that features such as that were going to take longer to implement.

Could they have been at the very edge of the HEI's explosion radius? IIRC fragmentation is not modeled, so damage would have to be based on explosive force.

Wow! This thread really is a great read when I understand it. That's not a dig at volk. It's because I have basically no knowledge of the subject matter.

I don't know, but I once saw a video of a Black Shark taking a tank shell, hovering for a further few seconds before falling to pieces. Aha, found it from about 8:00

I don't see this effect as the biggest issue by a long shot.

Sounds like you might need a repair/reinstall.

That's interesting. I thought they were the same issue. Did you notice whether the MLRS created new or old explosions?

Jeez guys, 1.2.3 hasn't even cooled down yet, and you're getting into 1.2.4!?

In an hour or two, or whenever the autoupdater is mentioned on the forum as being ready, click on your start menu and type "Update DCS World"

I'll have it downloaded in 1 year, 5 weeks at my current rate :) Really I'm just downloading everything as a backup, and will use the autoupdater when it's ready. 'til then, i'm just passing the time in here and some other forums.

Hold on, you've had it for two hours and you haven't told us anything about it? For shame Cowboy10uk, for shame.

Yeah, that's a nasty bug. Not many rotorheads will be clamouring for it to be released in whatever state it's in until that's fixed. That said, I wonder if I can remember how to get the shark airborne from cold & dark. Hell, I wonder if I can still do it in the Hog.

If they have UFOs, they need Dragons. Anyone remember Fleet Defender?

IIRC Raven, the dedicated server thing can't happen without EDGE.

A waltz?

I think that was mostly due to rampant speculation, off-topic posts and protracted arguments over whether we should be happy or angry.

Also, as the test team are not paid ED staffers, it's perfectly reasonable for them to allow real life to get in the way of their testing. For example, I can think of a weekend next month when there's no way in hell I'd be testing, no matter how much something needed to be tested. Perhaps 20 is a lot for them, and perhaps a number of them just couldn't do it.

I wonder if the 20 testers they had online were in the same game, or if I'm totally getting the wrong end of the stick. 20 in once game strikes me as fairly large for this series, but I've not played online that much.

How "crashed" do you mean. Are you still in the helicopter and do you still have a good range of functions?

Quite to the contrary, cichlidfan. The term "advanced" actually makes a difference in the DCS/flaming cliffs world.

Indeed. Claiming that ED have not told us why we are waiting is ridiculous. They've been updating us weekly of late. That's actually pretty good of them IMO. As far as I'm concerned, the game has worked almost perfectly most of the time I've had it. Recent problems with smoke, explosions and MP stability are a shame. But they do appear to be working on these issues. Does anyone actually imagine that their posts will result in a release of more information or that they will speed up the release of a patch? Would the case be different with any other developer in that regard?

awwww they got it the wrong way round.

wait, you want to debug and re-write his ex-wife?

Restecp? Wasn't that Ali-G?
