Bucic

I'm going to report in a separate thread as it pertains mostly to Western aircraft.

That's bad. Especially that ED insists on using lock on times models for aircraft that already have high fidelity versions. Just the other day I saw the following old models while flyjng F-5E: F-4 in Marianas cold start F-16 in NTTR cold start

From idyl to horror during a late morning flight on NTTR - one of the most chilling moments I've experienced in DCS. Some formation attempts, some aerobatics and then... I'm completely new to NTTR and the city lights are clearly bugged (not visible) but I decided to see how it's going to unfold.

As an F-5E remaster user I concur The phoenix of 2024!

There is no way I could talk ED out of glass cockpit monstrosities on my own so at least I appreciate the work on THE CORE: 1. The fog. This is big. I didn't realize at first. What made me a believer? I recently bought Nevada map and did a few flights. Man. This map is in bad shape. But even on Nevada that fog/haze made it all look so realisitc at times. 2. The Iraq map. This is not just another patch of sand. I'm still going to avoid desert maps but on this one you can clearly see some core work goodies. It seems like ED has started working on terrain material rendering so, for example, we will no longer see a sea of green plastic where a green mooshy field should be. 3. The Phantom. Again, the core. Well, according to my own categorization. We can clearly see a greater emphasis is put on the in-cockpit immersion by what has been demonstrated with the F-5E remaster. Cockpit audio and vibrations of actual parts in the cockpit, the alive pilot model (it literally has a breathing animation loop) and others. The pace is slow but steady. The only thing I wish for 2025 is for ED to never flarify* the graphics engine. The tree performance hit and the F-5E model (?) performance hit cases being under high-priority investigation can be read as sign of ED not wanting that to happen, fortunately. Edit: And yes, I don't see the module-release crowd being satisfied with the new announcement video either. Just another argument for ED to focus on the core *DCS flarification - unacceptable performance drops due to poor implementation of a single graphical effect as seen in early DCS / late lock on years with flare trails

I'm asking about the ability to roll back, without getting into the should/shouldn't. This guide doesn't specify how to do it, despite what the poster on reddit claimed https://forum.dcs.world/topic/134493-the-dcs-updater-launcher-gui-utility-version-20-2023 But this one does! https://flyandwire.com/2020/04/22/dcs-reverting-to-a-previous-version/

Rgr that. But please remember what I said before - you can see that reflection all over other peoples' videos on youtube.

Modless track - a track recorded by a player using a DCS instance with all mods disabled.

I don't have to do it because I skipped the update but can't DCS updates be rolled back by the user?

Or rather so the devs start closing long-standing graphical issues. Shimmering shadows on external models, shimmering of other type, sky color banding, lighting inconsistencies. Before Vulkan gets at least "hooked in" I don't blame ED for keeping those issues at a low priority.

All three are true V - I believe you - descriptions are not enough - modless tracks are needed

Options.lua and dcs.log included. https://1drv.ms/f/c/66cf2646234394fc/Eqal9AuktJVIg_pyQzYN6fQB6ekDptSpUFZ2ntBTzG0Bkg?e=Av2LjA Edit: added nVcpl settings as well.

Please remove the "correct as-is" tag from this report. The unlit version looks like a glass and the lit version doesn't look like anything from the physical world. This is not a game-breaking bug, sure, but it isn't a correct look either.

Were there any attempts to replace such models, only for AI, even with nonexistent damage model?

Do formation flying, take off and landings, combat using all weapons. The following axis settings are also suitable to make wonky joysticks usable. Mind that Xbox X S series controller is better than many full-scale joysticks on the market. Instructions: 1. Pair your controller and make it detectable in DCS (check Settings - Controls... it should have a dedicated column) 2. Exit DCS 3. Navigate to ...\SavedGames\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\F-5E-3\joystick and BACK UP your controller setting file "Bluetooth LE XINPUT compatible input device*" 4. Copy and paste the whole content of the provided file 5. Launch DCS and verify correct mapping. AXIS TUNE SETTINGS: Pitch and Roll - JOY* Dzone 4 Saturation Y 80 Curvature 20 Rudder - JOY_Z* Dzone 3 Saturation Y 80 Curvature 15 Bluetooth LE XINPUT compatible input device {YOURUUID}.diff.lua

Please post a modless track with DCS log and DX Diag. I've got an information that this issue is still under investigation.

I highly recommend starting with this, complemented by the author's YouTube videos Requiem's F-5E Cockpit Workflows & Kneeboard (updated 10/8/2020) - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312277/ The playlist link below: DCS F-5E Tiger #1 - Aircraft General - YouTube — And that's right after watching the excellent Bunyap's walkaround video Bunyap's walkraround and introduction for the F-5E - note some of the videos have around 20,000 views! LINK Those are fast tuts (whole F-5E playlist) (note the error of corelating HSI with ADI Fast erect) and the Canadian guy has some nice slow live streams https://www.youtube.com/@Coolhand101e/streams

I see. You could always try to re-create the event in SP.

Meanwhile on December 4th DCS 2.9.10.4160 There is supposed to be a way to roll back to a previous version but I have never read up on it https://forum.dcs.world/topic/134493-the-dcs-updater-launcher-gui-utility-version-20-2023

Got a track?

I'd say South Atlantic map, no idea about the airbase.

rgr that

I'm really glad to see ED did the right thing and added proper high energy vortices for LERX. Also featured: parking kit service access covers for the cannon bay pilot helmet visor up/down ! Much more from this guy but all lands in his 'Live' tab. https://www.youtube.com/@Coolhand101e/streams Coolhand101e - Dec. 24th DCS F-5E X-MAS BONUS - YouTube —

What are you trying to say? SA-10 is clearly listed as part of the HD model update.

I know. I'm treating the whole labels thing as a bit of a tongue in cheek matter at this point.
