Same thing happen to me and my wingman, twice confirmed on my end. Here is a crash log from Contention Germany. I am flying the F5 non FC3 , non-remastered. This is with A4 mod installed fyi . dcs.log-20250420-191857.zip

I greatly appreciate the time and effort you have put into this, i'll put the same fix in and test as well. Once again the community pushing DCS forward on the spotting dots. My eyes thankyou!

Looks like this doesn't work anymore sadly with the latest update, unless i'm making a mistake my end.

Same experience here, something has changed in the logic or there is a bug. It's not locking how it use to pre-patch.

The issue is that's not what is being said on various Discords by ED, we shall wait and see I guess for more official clarification of how this will work. I'm in the UK so don't have to work out my own tax lol

My understanding is that if you have not purchased the high detail areas but the mission extends to said areas then you wont see the buildings. So people with high quality are at a disadvantage when trying to use concealment (in a helo for example) . And the reverse if you have low detail you can hide inside a building that's not rendering for you but is for them. Or short hand is you get noclip and invisibility in those assets.

I was just about to ask similar questions to Ogma above, surely you gain a massive player advantage in multiplayer if you have not purchased high quality versions of the maps? Lots of potential here for customer confusion and double purchasing when not realising the savings when buying as an entire bundle. I think when you need an FAQ that extensive with undoubtedly follow up questions your not on the right track guys.

Thanks for the update BigNewy, we are chomping at the bit to get back into the 60 player action I'll share the details with my squadron.

Thump, reading between the lines across threads and discords the planned fix was for mid November but its taking longer than expected. Testing is being done on 4YA server but I dont think its conclusive yet. There is another open beta patch slated for December as Razbam said they have F15E patch ready to go for that. As a bit of commentary/feedback from myself and friends I think the bug was introduced 29.10.23 under 2.9.0.46801 . To introduce such a problem for this long and not only to choose not to rollback the beta patch but subsequently push it to stable I think is very poor decision making and doesn't utilise the purpose of a beta branch. I've stopped playing for the most part now aside from offline practice.

I have been a fixed wing guy for the best part of 2 years flying CAP for Helldiver on missions. Helo's scared the life out of me and looked super complicated but after a bit of convincing and a free trial I was up and flying with combat landings within a couple of weeks! Mando puts in a lot of effort with the training and documentation to support it and make the concepts easy to visualize. There are like minded individuals in the squadron that love to run drills and maneuvers and then take it in to PVP + PVE environments in planned ops and spontaneous flights. ECW and now Tempest and more. The more experience the better of course but don't be afraid if you are new to this, with a bit of dedication offline to master the basics you will fit right in. Pedals are recommended as that's what made it click for me in the Mi-8.

I'll give full flaps a go and see how it performs, thanks for the tip! I don't think i've changed my approach since the module came out. Normal loadout is 2 x fox 2 and a tank / 530 centerline.

Have you still got the autoexec file with command alt + enter fix from a few months ago? Delete that out as it will interfere with fullscreen being un-ticked. I'm not using anything custom anymore.

I use combat flaps or half flaps , decent amount of trim nose up. rotate gently at 150 knots and up she goes. Don't yank on the stick as that's when you will strike. There is a bug currently where the amount of trim varies spawn to spawn (at least on MP) from a lot of negative trim to neutral. make sure you check that as you will struggle if not trimming correctly.

Thanks for posting this Mole and highlighting something that got culled when the spotting 'mod' was brought the forefront of everyone's minds. The ban hammer came down heavy and locked down a bunch of mods that a lot of us used in the community . I wont go into that to keep focus on one thing at a time. I'd love to see it come back especially for the Mi-8 which you have highlighted which suffers awfully from dodgy shading / reflections. Hopefully it can be fixed for everyone or a option we can tick as its quite inconsistent module to module right now.

Just to add to this if you tried my earlier post and its not working, make sure to have open track / your software open in the background (don't minimize it) There is something about NOT having fullscreen enabled and having the app open that allows DCS to run without the stuttering for me. Still working in 2.9 . Yes you might be losing some max FPS by not having exclusive fullscreen but you gain in consistency.
