No, flat shadows gives best performance, I just find it too noticeable ie. no active shadows in cockpit and no shadow on carrier island, so I go with low. Diff between low and high is less noticeable for me. EDIT: Forgot there are two different settings, "shadows" and also "terrain object shadows". I believe "TOS" is the one if set to flat makes the carrier island not cast a shadow. If "shadows" setting is set to flat, that is the one that removes shadows from the cockpit. I had "shadows" set to Low and "TOS" set to default, going to see if I get an FPS bump setting TOS to flat. There is a really good comparison video of all graphics setting, (link below) and I don't see much difference between TOS setting of flat or default but about a 10 FPS difference.

Yeah Marianas is brutal, mine struggles to hold 50fps while coming into Anderson, and I've got shadows on low.

Thanks for fixing this in the last update guys!

You're stuttering with a 3080ti what are your settings? No difference to me since update. Same GPU as you.

Yeah I still haven't gotten it to cage after shutdown, wonder if it just isn't implemented yet for pilot seat.

The burble effect has messed with the ACLS system so it is being tuned per devs. Shouldn't be using ACLS for case I, c'mon now my man.

Interesting, haven't noticed that but I'll look next time thanks

Absolutely love mine, and don't forget about the discount you get if you own the F-14 module.

Quick question, is it currently not possible to cage the ADI after shutdown? I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to cage.

Can you guys please fix the issue with the Tomcat spawning on the carrier and clipping whatever jet is parked in the slot next to it. It has been plaguing me all night.

Anyone know how to command Jester to lock a specific target? I've said "track single target 3" for example, and i always get some mention about a JATAC not being available.

I've been successful using DLC to compensate.

I have the same issue. Though I can get the wings to oversweep with cover down. After you have wings in oversweep position, move the lever forward of oversweep just enough so you can push it down then pull back to oversweep again. ( Have to be quick) Obviously it's not the way it's supposed to work but those of you OCD like me and want your cockpit fully tidied up after shutdown, it works.

Probably for future use. They had the speed call outs done way before they had the coding completed to utilize them.

You guys are awesome, thanks for all the hard work!

Yeah I get that, just a heck of a lot easier and more precise when hooked, maybe one of these updates.

This may have been asked before but I haven't been able to find anything about it. Is there a way we can tell Jester which TWS contact to hook. So often he will hook a distant target that is not the immediate threat so I don't have the distance and altitude information. Would also be cool if we can tell him which to target with the TCS.

Well glad it wasn't just me suddenly getting worse at BFM. I can't seem to out rate an F-18 anymore (among other aircraft) and if I bleed speed below 300 knts, I can never seem to recover the speed unless I stop my turn resulting in a loss every time.

I've noticed the same, before he would get stuck in an annoying loop even after getting plugged he'd keep going on as if I were missing. Fixed for me since 2.7. Occasionally he'll get stuck on BFM speed calls after the bandit's been splashed but usually only a minute.

Thanks for the tips man, I know i need to use rudder way more, just not sure how much and in what scenario i should be utilizing them. Once i started tanking with the wing sweep in bomb mode its much easier. No longer fighting the constant changed in wing sweep/lift every time you feather the throttle.

I'd love to learn your secrets, I love flying the tomcat and have no problems tanking, carrier/field landings, BVR, but if i have to BFM I'm just absolutely terrible. Flew against my bro recently he was in the hornet, and it seemed he could outperform me in every category. He could rate with me both horizontally and vertically! only way i could seem to ever out rate him is with flaps deployed. He could bleed speed but regain his energy without issue. Seems if i let myself get slower than 250knts, its over. I just can't regain the energy back without giving him all of the angles in the world. Extremely frustrating.
