Please don´t remove the feature of seeing position & strobe lights during night, night flight is much improved with this. Maybe, its a bit bigger (it doesn´t appears too much for me, with Index and SS 204%) but at least finally you could detect position lighting AC during night. Its more realistic thinking in nightime operations. Better solution: consider to extend to other planes, not only F-15 or Mi-8 / 26. In real life, a night strobe lighting seen from 4Km, could looks as bigger as the AC emitting lighting (due the "halo" effect). Thanks

Hi, The timer trigger do you refer, is included in the last openbeta? what is? I was loitering yesterday even returning to my base, I didn´t seen any F10 radio optioms. Pleae, do you could attach the miz file to replace it?

A massive task, yes, but this is since december´2017 I remember when was announced the first time. In ED community letter. Nearly 2.5 years ago: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196539 2.5 years ago has been passed, and we don´t know even if it will be ready in 2020, 2021 or 2022...

I tried it, didn´t prevent crash.

Yes, me too. Seems related with crashing & servers not working.

Anyone knows the command line to start in "offline" mode??? just for play in SP and not having to unplug the internet cable every time. This is a totally disaster.

He must say "updated news"

That "solution" works for me... Thanks

Me too. It worked 30 min ago, due online server not available (quitting and restarting missions perfectly, BUT in OFFLINE). Seems that starting with login in DCS makes those frequent crashes now.

WIN+R Then copy&paste %TEMP% + enter Its a windows temporally folder

Seems that deleting DCS folder in %TEMP% fixed for me.

This also happens to me, but today. Yestarday with the same version quit normally. Any tips to fix???

Is it expected some hotfix for fixing huge pathfinding fps problems appeared in latest 2.5.6?

+1 In the latest beta Mi-8 never take off

I can confirm the same as you. There´s some serious pathfinding bug, maybe not only related with this one.

I tested also, if units are close between them, stutter disappears. I think this its totally related to pathfinding. Maybe there are other pathfinding problems (but not so heavy like this) that bring down performance to single digits in comparison with 2.5.5.

Maybe you have modified the file "terrainoptions41.lua", Please check what is your "lampsScale" parameter, in your local file. If you´ve tweaked to 5 or 6, you will see those huge lights. In my case, I tweaked to 2.5 without seeng those huge lights posted by you. Default is 1.0 (maybe that is why bignewy didn´t see it). I would attach a printscreen.

+1 @USSR_Rik: test KA-50 instant action mission and you will see. 7-8 seconds after start, a huge FPS drop to less than 10 fps (from at least 45 fps), only by URAL truck units moving (it occours when they start driving). AI serious pathfinding problem, I bet. If you delete those units, performance doesn´t drop. @KATE This is no related to graphic shading&lighting improvements. I bet most FPS problems in 2.5.6 are related to AI management & pathfinding. EDIT: Testing in VR, fps reduction (whout vsync) in Ka-50 insurgent attack, goes from 200 fps, to lower 25-30 fps. Maybe is not so noticeable in 2D. But in VR is tremendous (to 6-7 fps...from 45 stable). Going from 250 to 25-30 fps ONLY due the start driving of 8 URAL units, thorough the forest & open camp. If I set in mission editor that those units follow a road, fps seems stable. That´s reveal a huge problem with AI pathfinding. It is very easy to trace the bug if you look, concretely, to that mission.

Yes, this is in the new beta. In previous 2.5.6 no such downgrade. Attach my TRK. Happens in other missions like free flight with F-16 in PG. FXO metashaders cleaned. HINT to DEVs @KATE@BIGNEWY: If you remove the ural trucks file with the editor, (only 6-7 AI units driving offroad throught the forest) the sutter disappears. AI pathfinding CPU new FPS issue? KA-50 HUGE_Stutter.miz.trk

No improvement, even worse. Serious stuttering in some missions with ground units. Not TRK... @Bignewy/@NineLine/Kate: please launch missions KA-50 Insurgents quick mission in Caucasus, or F-16 freeflight in PG... stutter terrible, fps lower to 10fps even looking the sky. No track needed, just track by yourself. Seriouslu @KATE@Bignewy: were is the "significant" changes you promised for this last one version? Could detail to me were is "the change" in code? It is even worse the situation that in the latest one 2.5.6... incredible. Seriously, maybe you have quite good engineers in avionics knowledge (I have no doubt about that), in flight modelling (the best in market), terrain artists (quite good, but not excellence), etc... but in "engine optimization" or code improvements, debugging, etc... looking the last months, is a seriously lacking area. Not regards this sim itself,... please look other sims in market who maintain 90fps with HUGE great deatail and effects. I´m sure that you know what I´m referring. Of course, I have no doubt you have many professional people in many areas, but in code optimization, looking the work done, what was promised, its a completely disaster. Please make seriously to consider hiring some guy expert in code optimization & software debugging to your staff, I´m very concernt about current situation. Signficant FPS in the last 2.5.6 we´re worked... no carrier ops... please forgive it and make the right choices if you want we support the sim. Thanks

Its not a BUG for me. In real life, strobe lighting is bigger when you see an AC since 7 or 8 Km. As happens now with F-15C/E. Its much more better now. Do you think it is realistic not seeing strobes or position lights more than 500 or 600 meters in night? I don´t think so. Please ED, extend F-15 strobe and position lights, to the other AC in the sim. At least we can seeing other planes approaching to airports. Also, I fly in VR.

To me it is a IMPROVEMENT, not a BUG. I like, at least, realistic NAV light in night visible since many Km. As happens in real life. Increase the size it is, yes, but in its halo. It happens too in other AC like F-15 or Mi8 / Mi-26. I hope this sort of lighting would be implemented to all ACs´ in DCS. Finally, I could maintain formation with other F-15 or helos at night operations.

I think it would be implement some system similar to IL2, VR visibility is outstanding. Not only in VR, also in 2D, in that sim specially due IIWW planes, it is very realistic. Even, they improved clarity filter along some reflections of sun over distant planes, I remember 3 years ago in DCS we had impostor option, I don´t know why it was removed (in 1.5 version).
