Upcoming Vulkan API and Multi GPU support
Madman1 replied to zerO_crash's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Multi-GPU support is very much dead outside of certain server farm applications. Nvidia and AMD stopped making multi-GPU capable consumer hardware simply becasue it was not popular enough or efficient enough to be worth it anymore. Most people don't even own motherboards that have more than one PCIe slot so most people can't use SLI/Crossfire anyways. Hardly any DCS players are going to buy a workstation-class PC and a pair of workstation GPU cards just to improve their DCS performance. Plus, the workstation-class cards that have NVLink connectors don't have game-optimised drivers anyways becasue they're intended for working, not gaming. When Nvidia writes the drivers for those cards they don't optimise them for games; never have, never will. So even if ED wanted to work on multi-GPU support for your workstation-class cards they would be hamstrung by drivers that are not optimised for DCS. ED would be better off trying to leverage the NPU chips that are in the latest generation of Intel and AMD CPUs becasue those will eventually be in every CPU within the next ten years... unless the AI trend turns out to be another bubble. I mean, I don't know what they could actually do with NPU cores but I can image they could think of something. Maybe make the ATC be smarter? Remember: Just becasue you can't do something doesn't mean you should. -
See example attached. First I tried some actual targets, all worked. At the end I took a random location, tried to name it 2S3 and it got CDU_INPUT_ERROR; made a new waypoint at that exact same location as that one but named it TWOESSTHREE instead, got accepted. This is FUBAR. LastMissionTrack.trk

I've noticed that if I name a waypoint certain names I get CDU_INPUT_ERROR but not other names. For example if I name a waypoint 2S3 I get the error message but if I name that exact same location TWOESSTHEREE I do not get the error. What gives? Is there some list of alphanumeric combos that the A-10C's CDU is forbidden to accept?

Mission 3 Bug Out is bugged?
Madman1 replied to Madman1's topic in A-10C Operation Piercing Fury Campaign
That's what I was using. -
No matter what I do the best score I can get is 50. I flew both waypoints and all the enemies are dead but then nothing happens. No more orders, no comms traffic, no new enemies, no prompts. I can fly around until I run out of fuel and still nothing happens. If I fly home and all my wingmen land and park and I only get a 50 instead of 100. What gives? LastMissionTrack.trk

Dual factor authentication for free trials?
Madman1 replied to Beirut's topic in Forum and Site Issues
How? The only option that the DCS website gives me is Google Authenticator. It doesn't show me anything else. -

I do not want to use any Google app. I do not trust them to keep my phone number private. They routinely collect and sell personal data so their 2FA app can get stuffed. Please give us an alternative. -
After "repair" of landing gear, A-10C pulls heavily to the right.
Madman1 replied to Madman1's topic in Bugs and Problems
Ok thanks for the informative reply. I'll let you know if this crops up again. -

Madman1 replied to Madman1's topic in Bugs and Problems
I noticed that. To me that just means that the ground crew didn't finish fixing the aircraft; if it was actually fixed correctly there shouldn't be any caution lights after the startup sequence is finished. Instead it's showing that they left the right engine and hydraulics borked.... which is interesting becasue I didn't break any of those, just the landing gear. Do I just need to push the caution lights to fix it? -

Anyone? Hello? -

Madman1 replied to Madman1's topic in Bugs and Problems
Ok I replicated the problem, only with two blow tires instead of one. But same result: A-10 pulls hard to the right. And I managed to keep it under 50MB this time so here ya go, fresh new track:4YA_CAU_PVE_V2.141[03_DEC_BKN]-20250903-162244.trk It's on the Caucasus map. Only "mod" is a RCAF livery but that shouldn't matter should it? 4YA_CAU_PVE_V2.141[03_DEC_BKN]-20250903-162244.trk -

I uploaded it to a third-party server: https://limewire.com/d/VskAK#fw958xMxG8 -

Oh god dammit, the track is larger than 50MB so this forum won't let me upload it. Really, a 50MB limit? Did 2008 barricade itself inside ED headquarters and hold the file server hostage? -

What's a "short track?" I can see tracks in my Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\Multiplayer folder but they're all the entire match, not just the incident. How do I trim them down?
