chaos

AB detent On or Off... If I retard the throttles to idle, after the salute, the engines remain at the MIL or AB power setting. I know... It is a moronic way of doing things but this needs to be fixed pls.

From the latest newsletter... Improvements that are hopefully coming in '24... "Weather. The weather focus for 2024 will be on a new fog system and towering clouds with appropriate line-of-sight blocking." Woohhooooo!

There are some tables in Chucks Guide on the F-1CE/EE (page 346). Look here -> https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/mirage-f1 It's tough to get the parameters right upon release but it's all good fun... CCIP is for wimps!

Don't bother with fog settings. It's part of the old weather system and doesn't play nice with current weather settings. Still waiting for fog/haze to be updated to current standards. Would love to hear where it sits on the list of priorities. Been asking for this since the "new clouds" -update came out but it has been quiet ever since.

Not so sure about that. The price is "ridiculous", especially if one needs to upgrade the gfx-card as well.... however... My main issue has always been the lack of mixed-reality in normal consumer-grade vr-headsets. I always fumble looking for the gear lever never mind interacting with the up-front-controller in the F-16/18. The XR4 allows the use of button boxes to seamlessly integrate because of the passthrough feature. Granted, this is no longer a hobby but a money-pit and I am not sure if I'd actually buy it. It is getting interesting though after the VR industry has been at a standstill for many years now. I'm looking forward to the reviews...

On the waitlist but euro4000 is a chunk of change... my RTX3080/8GB probably needs to be upgraded to a 4090 as well.... yikes!

As per title. If I load up on external tanks and bombs and leave the Config Switch in the CAT1 position I should be getting an amber "Stores Config" on the warning panel, no?

I was hoping some of these problems would be fixed in 2.9 but alas. To be fair, ED never said it would and so we just have to wait a little bit longer for limited visibility to be properly implemented. It certainly is one of my favorite things to looks forward to....

The 100ft BA was a mistake that I didn't catch on to until you pointed it out. I meant to set it at 1000ft. Onto further testing, thx. [EDIT] Just confirmed that it was indeed the BA setting. Still get the audio of bomblets exploding underground but that is a minor issue...

See attached .trk file. CBU-97's dropped from F-16C on convoy half-way through the track. It seems to be on target but all bombs are going through terrain and exploding below the ground. This problem is not consistent but has been happening more than once. AMD 5950X, 64GB, Win10 Pro (22H2), RTX 3080, Samsung 980Pro NVME drives Syria, Single Player, Multi-Threaded version DCS, User Defined mission Stock DCS, A-4C MOD installed but not used in this mission. F-16C_MT_Convoy.trk

5950x in pancake mode... No discernable performance in- or de-crease. New mission created, no mods. F-16C in Syria and Caucasus. STD version avg fps 55 / MT version avg fps 56. Just for kicks I created a mission in Caucasus with me up against 40 Mig-29S in MT. Starts off with about 60fps... in middle of the furball down to 8fps. Something is screwy here... It's like MT is not enabled at all. And yes, Im starting it DCS from the MT directory... Any ideas?

I have the 5950X and the sim starts just fine. I do not see any performance gains so I will try to disable SMT next...

Thanks for the clarification. That totally makes sense now since VRP is, well, just a reference. It should not _have_ to be overflown. It can just be a visual aid to locate or stay away from whatever you desire. The use of VIP/VRP has always been a little bit of a mystery to me. I understand it was mostly used in a GPS-less environment. Anyway, thanks again.

You're both correct in that TMS-Up is only with regards to VIP... My bad. I watched your .trk file and, from what I can see, you're doing everything according to the book. Why the STP sequencing doesn't change automatically from STP10 to RP is beyond me. I've tried it on my end and it doesn't switch over automatically either which makes me wonder if this is an actual bug. It does switch over automatically from RP (manually selected) to STP11(TGT) so at least that part is working. I watched Wags' video on YT again and his does switch over automatically between STP, RP and TGT. That video is a little bit dated though and things may have changed in the meantime. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Did you check Wags’ video on VRP/VIP and follow the instructions to the letter? It should work. Make sure you do the TMS-Up when you’re at the IP. I can’t check your trk file right now but if there’s no definitive answer by friday, I’ll take a look…
