Eaglewings

Your notion of the tanker changing altitude may well be you oscillating. Tankers in all my experience in aerial refuel mostly maintain a constant altitude. Wings sweep in auto with tiny pitch trimming helps me a lot. Unlike the fly-by-wire aircraft where the fcs assist, the Tomcat is different, more involving and fun.

This picture showing night lighting on the supercarrier looks amazing. Seems like I would be spending some good time on the carrier and if I do fly off of her, it would be a hasty return to deck. Or better still playing the LSO as that get implemented later just to catch a glimpse of the audio and visual activities on deck the supercarrier.

Memory leak in 2.5.6 maybe a huge part of loss in performance being experienced. This I read is being seriously looked into by Ed and fix for this could come with next week patch.

It would be great to having the moving map but not sure Ed's interaction of the F-16 block 50 is going to have the moving map.

Supercarrier release date is end of March. I am sure Ed will announce a specific day of release.

Good news. Not around my system now but would be checking mine in a few days to see. Would be great to have this issue gone. Thanks

I noticed the steering dot issue reported in the open post too. The steering dot for optimal intercept course was completely outside the missile circle.

I do not seems to be having any fps or stuttering issues in both 2D and vr for the instant action mission I played in 2.5.6. Everything played really good. My only issue is that I still get logged out of dcs the last time for someone logging in from a different machine. Otherwise 2.5.6 is okay. In VR on a medium to low graphics settings, dcs PD of 1.0 and steamVR SS at 179%, game was wasn't different from 2.5.5. I still get averagely 36fps in vr. The are occasional micro stuttering but not enough to stop me from playing. I am wondering why it really unplayable for others who oftentimes have beefier system. Are there other factors at play beside the issues with 2.5.6 update?

Hi Bignewy I got kicked out today after the most recent openbeta update. I have done a PM to you of my login name. Also attached here is my dcs.log file after the incidence. Thanks once again. dcs.log.txt

I do not think changing password does the fix. I have changed mine and I am aware of others that have change theirs with the bug is still continuing. ED technical support is putting the blame on ip address change and says it is being investigated. Yes it is quite frustrating.

Thanks for sharing. As for the update, that is quite understandable. ED should spend more time to address the many issues that ranges from performance to login security. I still cannot play dcs online for 4 minutes. Gets kicked out for someone logging in from a different machine reason. 2.5.6 is great but requires more work.

I am guessing whatever update it was has been pulled back. I cannot open the thread.

This exactly is the most effective way to align your view in vr. With this method you can set whatever position that suits you on all axes of view in vr. Got to try this.

I get around it for now by using offline mode for now to enjoy my dcs. Only rules out multiplayer session which I do not do much. I hope ED kills this bug for good soon.

PIO is another hurdle to jump. Struggled with this too. When within the visinity of the drogue/basket, it is all about tiny adjustment in pitch, roll and throttle axis. Be quick to also counter the pitch, roll and throttle movements to stay lined up to whatever(refuel pod) and the tanker's speed. Same tiny adjustments applies to stay connected to the tanker. As suggested, try adjustment in you control deadzone/saturation department to find what suits you. I think control adjustment is subjective as hotas setup are different. Get a setting that fits your needs Also like to mention 3D view in vr helps tremendously to overcome all the problem that AAR present . This is not to say it is not achievable in 2D monitor but your chances are greatly improved because you see things in 3D. All the best and I have to say the satisfaction that comes from doing AAR successfully is immense beside the fact that it is very crucial in some missions.

Great. Thanks

Windows 10 Pro with O+ here. Not getting steamVR related ctd. Unfortunately, I cannot test for an extensive period with 2.5.6 as I am getting kicked out of dcs world during game play for login issues. Having a case of someone logging in from a different machine and getting kicked out. Can only play max 4 minutes most times

I am equally still getting kicked out after sometime. I had thought the issue was resolved with the patch and hotfix because I played for a long time before it happened but obviously I am wrong. The issue is still unresolved for me too. I really like the features that came with 2.5.6 and trying to avoid rolling back to 2.5.5. I created a trouble ticket and sent support (Ticket No 94370) and got a reply that this issue is caused by IP address change quote "Regarding "someone logged"... Your were logged out due to IP address change during the game session. We are working on improvement of this security check in nearest patch of beta version." One nearest patch and a hotfix as come, still getting logged out. I use only one internet connection and I cannot fathom where the ip address change is coming from. I am at me wit end concerning this issue.

Great news on the hot fix. I pray it would fix my "Someone logged into your account from a different machine" related crash. Downloading already. [emoji106] Ed

Way to go. Congrats. It is the gradual process that get you equipped for an effortless AAR. Just keep at it and it would become part of you. I personally struggled at first but with disjointed success like you are doing now, I got it eventually. As for wake turbulence, yes it makes aar much more difficult to do. You want to turn this off as you are climbing the rope now. To beat wake turbulence, I do not fly directly behind the tanker all the way in. I would fly formation with the tanker on his left wing a little above the tanker and then go below to enter pre-contact position. I get not as much wake turbulence effect at this point. Basically you want to avoid the spiral ring generated behind the tanker. Setting wake turbulence on creat some glitch in vr so most times I have it turned off to gain smoothness in vr.

Good advice. Things are a bit too volatile now with current open beta. Mr Bankler updated from 5.00 to 5.10 on account of this issues and now some more heckups going to 5.10. Let things settle somewhat.

I got lots of script error doing the latest version today. I could still fly the aircraft when I click OK after the error windows but no monitoring of positions and scores.

It is like the crash associated with "Someone logged into your account on a different machine" has resurfaced for me. After logging in successfully, play for like 3 minutes, boom, crashes to desktop with no crash log.

Thanks ED, this has been resolved for me after todays patch.

Happy to see crash to screen for many reason fixed. In my case it was error message "Someone logged in to your machine" and game will crash to desktop every 3 minutes after logging in. Had to stop playing dcs since it started. Cannot wait to see the new KA-50 cockpit. Invisible K-130 tanker fixed is welcomed and yes hope there are some performance optimization under the hood.
