Papamiraculi

Hi I love the mod, this actually looks much more like summer in Germany. But I think I have found a bug: I get blue cobblestones, like for example at the Hercules Bergpark in Kassel (the castle on the hill). How can you do this?

Idk if styrofoam is enough. There isn't much room, the "neck" part of the grip is really narrow. I wish they had at least partly used metal. Seems I need to open the grips to see how it looks inside. I was just wondering if anybody had already tried that.

No, I'm talking about the grip itself. The plastic bends a little. I got the counterbalance kit and installed a damper. That feels really great, apart from the bend when using the upper grip. It's not unusable. Far from it. But a bit annoying.

Has anyone found a way to make the grip sturdier? I'm thinking about reinforcing the grip somehow so it doesn't bed anymore, maybe by screwing/glueing metal parts on the inside, especially at the "neck" where the lower and upper grip meet. This seems like the most bendy part. I haven't opened the grip yet, so I don't know if this is feasible. Has anyone had a look at the insides? Using the lower grip is ok, but using the upper grip has some bend which makes fine adjustments harder. I find myself using mostly the lower grip for flying, which is good, but you do need to operate the cursor/FCR from time to time.

This is good news. The reflections are there, but even at the highest setting barely visible. The only exception is the nasty knee board reflections in the F-16. It often shows as an orange or opaque white blob in the fwd right part of the canopy. This isn't dynamic either, as switching knee board pages does not change it. The slider is actually a great idea, but the range should be higher. Right now it is basically a on off switch between off and the slightest of reflections at max level. We need full blown reflections at max level, so everyone can adjust to their liking.

For me this has been a problem since forever. ED, you REALLY need to change something about the trees!!! It's especially bad in helicopters. It is the single most impactful factor when it comes to frame times. Trees suck up too much performance, even more so if shadows are involved. For me, too, switching off shadows results in more than 20% more frames and better frame times. It's more impactful than lowering resolution or DLSS settings,or setting view distance to extreme levels. It's crazy. It is NOT a VRAM issue. I'm running 4090 and 24GB VRAM. I've had the same issues with my 3080 and 10GB VRAM. Using tree mods (Taz better trees) helps a bit, but does not solve the problem entirely.

Same. Microstutters after last patch. Ryzen 7800x3d 4090 64GB 6000, separate NVME.

I have no experience with the Q4Rigs stuff, but get rid of the twist axis maybe? You don't really need yaw for the F-16.I 've used the analogue stick on the shaker kit for NWS and rudder for some time. It was fine. The flight computer does almost all the yaw controls for you.

Please make wipers work. Some Paradise Lost missions are barely playable

Please make the wipers work. I'm playing through Paradise Lost atm and while the weather effects and rain droplets are amazing, visibility is really poor (which is crucial for some missions).

Sadly, it doesn't work. It did take an awful long time to compile the shaders, but I'm still stuck with the new dynamic reflections. I tried adjusting the slider and the canopy reflections settings in the f-16 special settings tab but no dice (actually, these settings don't seem to do anything at all. The most I managed was to switch reflections off entirely, also the dynamic ones).

The cheap and easy solution is to cut some plastic strips and squeeze them in the gap. I've been using mine for months now and it still works flawlessly. Cost: 0$ (used some transparent plastic of a package of batteries I would have thrown away). As long as it is thin enough, flexible and does not give in it will work. You can layer them, as most plastic packaging is too thin for the gap. You just have to really squeeze it tight in there. The metal solution by @101Feel above is the ultra durable version of it

Is there maybe a Lua mod which brings back the old reflections? I'm sure there are still in the game files somewhere...

It seems some scripts are broken and/or the last updates broke them. It's the OH6 side gunner script+hook for me. Some people have reported the same about Tacview. After I deleted the scripts and hooks from saved Games/dcs.../scripts I got rid of the periodical stutter every 3 seconds.

I couldn't get a 3D either so I just used plastic strips cut out from packaging (the transparent bendable type, e.g. from a batteries package) and squeezed them in the gap between the head and the sensor, similar to my early cardboard shim mod (see above). The cardboard turned out to be soft soft, the plastic is just perfect.
