This is what happens when you pay in full for something that isn't finished. I am fully against this business model, but most of you "throw money at the screen" as soon as yet another EA module is announced. You didn't even really need Razbam or VEAO to see this, ED's own modules are probably never going to be fully complete either, yet you purchase hoping for what?
Check what state the module is in, if you're happy with it buy it, otherwise wait longer. That's the harsh reality.

It was fixed, but with the latest patch it's back.
Thanks

Thanks Bignewy, I'll try.
It seems it has something to do with the memory leak as it only happens in MP on busy servers.
-
On top of that, it's also impossible to start the launch at MIL and select A/B during the launch or just as you leave the deck, as it is often done IRL.
Really a stupid decision from ED.-

Whenever I enter waypoint or tgt coordinates manually via the UFC, the last digit is automatically changed by -1.
E.g. if I input MGRS coordinates e.g. 1234512345, when i click ENT ont he UFC, the last digit instead of 5 is turned into a 4, and it becomes 1234512344
In order to enter as I want, I need to enter it as 1234512346 which will be turned into 1234512345.
The same happens with decimal-minutes-seconds coordinates, except there it's more erratic and it seems impossible to enter exactly the number I want, because it just won't accept certain numbers and jumps to +- 2 decimals.
EDIT see screenshots. in this example it is IMPOSSIBLE to enter the number 5, as you hit ENT on the UFC it turn the 5 into a 4.
It does the same with other numbers as well.@RAZBAM_ELMO can you please check?

been experiencing regular crashes where logs are not created (it creates empty zip files).
The game freezes, the sound continues to be heard as if nothing happened.
Once it even froze, gave me the small dialog saying it crashed but I waited and after a while it "unfroze" and I could play for a further 10 minutes or so until it CTD directly to desktop.here's what I have + a log from an older crash that seemsdcs.log-20240104-154551.zip to open correctly
-
Maybe after the next EA modules that have recently been announced, they will focus on the weather system (and the ATC, and the AI, and finishing the older EA modules etc..)

We need a sea state slider, independent of wind (or much more loosely dependent). That's all.

Wake turbulence in general is greatly exaggerated in DCS as reported multiple times. If that affects the burble or not I don't know, but I've turned it off completely.
It would be a great feature if implemented correctly instead of being the usual half-baked mess that is slapped in and labelled [correct as is].-

I reported this years ago, but seeing as it isn't fixed yet (simple fix really..), here it is again.
P.S. the video is not mine (obviously not the only one noticing..)

SC 2.0 for the sweet EA price of 59.99

F-10 or F-2 view always show a different altitude than the aircraft altimeter when QNH is set appropriately.
The error grows exponentially with altitude.
The linked thread has a report about a bug that probably was never fixed and still affects altimeter readings today.-

Why, it is off-topic. G-tolerance is being looked at, but doesn't have anything to do with the topic (FM). Thanks.
Yeah I don't disagree, some people above were talking about g tolerance and I think that's a good piece of info, but agree this should be discussed separately.
It is an important part of achieving best performance in the Viper though, as others have said.
EDIT: @BIGNEWY added sources and links@NineLine I added some extra info you guys may find useful. Maybe you can break out that post into its own topic or just pass it to the team. Thx

I will leave this here:

Only two of the 741 did not complete the 8-G, 15-s G profile during the scheduled training session, and only 44 did not complete an additional 9-G, 15-s profile (99.7 and 94.1% success rates, respectively)."

Not only that, but the throttle is literally locked at full AB from the moment you salute to a couple of seconds after you clear the deck. You lose all control of it.
It's a bit like an arcade game now.-

I can't launch from the carrier (Super carrier catapult). Basically it doesn't "salute" and the launch doesn't initiate. Anyone else with this issue?
-
I don't use afterburner detent (it's set to "Always off" in special options.
So that doesn't solve it, unless I didn't get what you mean -

IRL F18C above 45k lbs at Catapult launch, MAX power is the only option
Yes, above 45k. in DCS at any weight you are now it forces you to be in full AB. I don't know where this idiotic idea came from, but I sure hope it's changed back to what it was.

So it looks like unless you are in full afterburner, it's not possible to salute and initiate the catapult launch.
F-18s IRL did not usually need afterburner for take off.
Also, once in full afterburner and the salute is given, you lose control of the throttle until after you are airborne, and for a few seconds after than.
This can't be right.-

they can be removed IRL, that is the reason that weight and drag index are mentioned in the manuals.
Also you must add the weight of the pilot. (~180lb)
TIL!
I have actually never seen a picture of a AV8B without pylons.
If they can be removed why don't we have this option in DCS, like we do with other airplanes? -
I don't think the AV-8B pylons can be removed IRL (not operationally), so wouldn't make sense to state the weight without pylons in the manual

You mean on 2.8 ? I just updated the laptop to 2.9 aswell now. But its no use to compare it to 2.8 as ED stated the onset in 2.8 was wrong. If thats the case you compare 2.9 with the wrong 2.8 version. My test was only about finding out how the new (no matter if "improved" to the better or worse) onset behavior of the Viper is now and how we might need to adapt to it for dogfighting.
yeah i meant 2.8 but pay attention to what I wrote, I am not interested in the onset, but in the opposite: how long it takes to go from 9 g back to 1g when you stop pulling.
This is way off compared to all aircraft, and very different from that other high fidelity F-16 sim...

@Grodign thanks for confirming.
Regarding the other point I raised, just do this test:
- fly at 500 kts, bank 90 degrees and pull up to 9 gs.
- quickly center the stick and leave it there
- how long does it take for the plane to go from 9 back to 1g?
- how many degrees has it continued to turn after you centered the stick?
@darkman222 can you please test the above routine like you did in the videos you posted?
old bug came back - Aileron travel with flaps down
in Bugs and Problems
Posted · Edited by bkthunder
good catch! it's a little hard to see in the video of the real F-18, but the main flaps definitely move a few degrees together with aileron movement!
EDIT found another video where it's more obvious:
