Please Address Game Bloat from CoreMods & Excessive Liveries
celestHawk replied to celestHawk's topic in DCS Core Wish List
At the moment I'm waiting on DCS Optimized Textures Powershell Script and I saw his suggestion on SLAM, however I'll redo it on the next update and then will move the retexured files as a personal mod so now I'll just replace the originals with downscaled ones and check what is what. Ahhh once again the community modding saved the developer ars3s!- 48 replies

How to create/add and airport on a map?
celestHawk replied to celestHawk's topic in DCS: Afghanistan
I'm sure there is quite more to this and now I have the picture why it is so hard and slow. Anyhow I'd like to learn how to do it myself if there is someone to teach Thanks!- 5 replies

Could you explain how you do it? I never used a mod manager and any modification I make is manually.- 48 replies

I would like to add/create/modd or whatever is called appropratly for such task the airport/airfield/landing stip (choose one) on that exact place in Afghanistan map as it is provided already by the developers in here. Next step will be to recreate it in Persian Gulf map as well - so far I downloaded the TAC info from 'beacons.lua' file. My silly question is how do I do that - create an airport on any map as there are so many missing and I get it that is not possible to get them all at once from ED yet? null

I started a fight but you are trying to start a war Addressing the 2k and 4k textures got me thinking - what if I download early version of DCS World and replace the latest one with old texture files - wherever it possible. That wont save only space but will get a bit easy on graphics, isn't it? Does any one knows which version should I download for a 1080p textures? Anyone knows when ED started to 'remaster' the graphics?- 48 replies

I don't even dare to imagine what would be the size of that map
-
Hello, I already bought East Afghanistan and can't express my joy with that map as the decision of ED to provide high details on part which is considered valueable for the player and give them access to the rest of the map! What I can't quite figureout yet with Iraq map is having it again split on regions North and South would that be the case if I purchase the available North Iraq? Would I have Norther part in high resolution and South in lower or would I have access only to the Norther part and later must buy Southern part as well? P.S. can't wait for Syria map to be on sale once again!

Saw the topic about Tinian Airfield Reactivation Video and figure out that it would be nice not only to flash that abandoned airfield but also to make more Transport missions with future release of C-130J. Of course it will require refueling at Midway, Wake or Sand Island? So yeah NTTR - Hawaii - Wake - Guam...
-
I always wonder what was the story of that abandoned airfield?

Hello, I would like to ask about two specific Airfields in PG map. The one I noticed on SAT picturnulle of the map - Zahedan The other one is 'no name' and I wonder what are the plans with it - info in the screenshot However Zahedan airport I noticed first on Afghanistan map and transferred the beacon info to PG which make me wonder 'How can I create Airports/AFB on a map"?null

celestHawk replied to celestHawk's topic in DCS Core Wish List
It is not about Steam, although I'm using it for the Xbox controller - Thank you Tuuvas. Core files you say? So you need, I need to download 11 GB of Liveries for F-4 module I don't own, why? Never tried and even don't know how it looks, or the 14GB of Liveries from F-14 which I'll never use. Lets address the tens of Liveries for Mig-21 just because is a popular jet around the world or the tens of modifications for Mirage F1 and is even not a EagleD module. We still keep gigabytes of stuff from Razbam - M2000 and F-15E. Great some people still use it but why do I need it - there is a F-15E S4+ in the assets - works perfect for the purpose. Long story short I cleared - 110GB with unnecessary Liveries - every module left with one-two Liveries so it goes fallback when needed with the one I left that which saved thousands of files from SSD which are prone for failure just because you use them, another 4GB from Bazar's Liveries - could make more but starting from 10.4GB didn't worth my time. Now just for a moment try to guess after I saved so much space, would the updater.exe recover those files with the next update or just because is setup like that or it is required for the Core? Just recently I haven't own F-16 but is a core modulenull so I must update those files? "The ones you need to have them in your mission as in; textures, meshes, sounds and weapons" - is called 'optimization'. Thank you for you time but is not about few gigs of storage is a hundreds of gigabytes of bandwidth every single update! In matter of fact the CoreModules are not the one you bought/own they are just...there, despite the ownership- 48 replies

celestHawk replied to celestHawk's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Fair enough, I even will agree and say that this is a viable point! However there is a point in ones life when a man just stops to justify not only spending money but also to make room or shift data between drives and a dedicated TB drive for DCS and EliteDangerous is far perfect and only 'money well spend' goes for content like Terrains, Modules and ARX. As you can see the specs of my setup and tanks haven is still runs the game, I already have enough SSDs in the workstation and seen no point to change any of them just because of the bloatware which has nothing with the core game. Just to clarify - next update of DCS will force the updater to download every single CoreModule just to update the ones I'm using and have no reason to 'update' modules which I don't have installed - the updater.exe makes a file check before update and makes a list of missing files so it install theme, not update the available ones. Explaining that, the solution could be easy and even trivial as - check which modules are installed and then download delta for download. The 'update' makes it like new installation with every update - is literally checks where it was disconnected the installation previous time and continues from there. Earlier comments mentioned Cloud storage or on-line repos - nonsense! The issue I'm addressing is EXACTLY against overwhelming Eagle Dynamics servers every time there is an update - less modules, less updates, less bandwidth, shorter peaks on servers!- 48 replies

All issues have more than one solution, hence at the moment there are three destinations for such files - Bazar, CoreModes and Saved Games\DCS\Liveries Bazar's total size (if I didn't trimmed it heavily the other day) is less than the Liveries of F-14, which I don't have and never tried ~ 10 GB. but my issue is that there are so, so, so many and especially for models not everyone have or for me personally will never have like WWII models and even the F-14 and this is totally a personal choice so why there is no way to choose? Even if I'm all for WWII and keep TF-51 with Marianas WWII map, I'll still will be bugged to install all the rest of maps and modules just because I own them and have the CoreModules/Liveries as well. Last week saw Kola map has a Trial option, downloaded it, flew few missions with F's I have, made few missions myself and decided it's not a map I like, now untill the trial period is over, I'll have a notification to download it and what if I don't like to see F-15/Su-27 in my list just because I prefer full fidelity models? DOWNLOAD IT! My very first module in DCS was F1 and I adored M-2000 but wasn't a time to buy anything at the moment and now I can't have it at any cost but I'll have all the required files for both of them just because! Now I'm starting to think that separating files and folders wont be enough, maybe, just maybe ED should brainstorming on possibility to separate modules entirely and have Asset packs for every taste? FYI: the trimming of CoreModules saved me more than 100GB, at the moment I'm re-downloading (make a 'DCS_Updater.exe repair') as I might went too heavy and I'll do it more mindfully just to not throw more than required.- 48 replies

Thank you for mentioning it, if you weren't I wouldn't find it ever. Truly Appreciate for you consideration, Yes I did in fact have in mind the Multi Player chat system. No need to apology. I personally think that one system should take place of the other as superior and the Pause function must be optional as Avionics and Communications menu. Saying that I think that missing the last message should be an button on the keyboard instead scrolling in the message window, chat or kneeboard, but this is me - full of opinion

I spend Today's morning to stitch just that between PG and AFG maps. It works flawlessly and I'm waiting for a discount for Syria map so I'll stitch a flight from Incirlik to Kandahar just to prove a point how possible it is I'm begging you to share how did you managed to place a naval asset on land? I confess that I tried on Caucasus map and it even didn't allowed to place a ship if the water was too shallow for the size

The very first thing I tried after I bought the map was to check it in winter. Didn't knew that there are no textures yet so I start to explore it assuming that there is only snow in the Himalaya ridge. Found very beautiful places, in my opinion better that those showed through different Quick missions.

Fair enough, I didn't read the rules just got free time in a while and decide to trough my two cents around

Why waiting on Korea era when you have BMS and with the last update 4.38 soon the graphics will be even better than DCS maps. However do you think that we should get every plane from specific era? Don't think is possible though. In matter of fact I personally heard about 'A' classification of airplanes 30 years ago while started playing such games and it was A-4 and nothing till yesterday about 26 or any in between. Cheers!

Someone knows how bad are ED in optimizing the scenery and now he/she is looking for testing an RTX 6090 or even RTX 7090 I guess.
