So does anyone else have less FPS now in the cockpit than the previous patch? Better than the original release, though! EDIT: I made a mistake with a setting, cockpit performance is amazing!

I think they were fixed, but then LNS changed external model to fix some fps stuff I think (that's why we now have problems with gear doors clipping bombs, the recently fixed sideways nose cone etc), and this stuff isn't fixed in the new one I think.

Yeah, I know, I mean your View Distance setting in the options! EDIT: this happens to me on High too. It's probably just a wrong file name somewhere, super easy fix if so.

What's your view distance and which livery is that?

Well, I do like variable sweep...

I dunno man. None of those aircraft give me that loving feeling.

Yeah, maybe you could check the full release out and tell us if that difference is gone when you get a chance.

Some of my squad buddies talked about take-offs being improved in the beta update, so if you don't see any difference now I guess they found a problem and pulled that change from the patch.

How have you defined your use of the word "units"? I know that in the F-15, a unit of AoA as shown on the indicator is (AoA)_units == (AoA)_deg + 10.

They probably just want to check that the entire installation doesn't break, like a few updates ago.

Seems like it!

The LODs are still broken, but I'm sure LNS knows this. EDIT: They seem fixed in the new update!

Start DCS and check the version number in the bottom left corner. It probably says 1.2.10.32275, in which case you're up to date.

That's generally how experience works, yes.

First of all, it's in open beta, so if you don't want bugs, you can wait for the final release. Could there be fewer bugs? Sure. Is it reasonable that a dev team's first release is less smooth than the average? Yes. Have LNS, despite their lack of experience and personnel/resources, still produced one of the best modules for DCS ever? Yup. It's "could have". Come on, focus.

Those renders look fantastic. Really, really good.

I managed to turn off my ownship symbol on the TAD this evening. Anyone know what I did?

Get out of here with your facts and and experience, please.

I don't really care for walking about, but at least being able to look at the 3D models all lined up would be really awesome. The ones you haven't purchased could be there too, with the ceiling lights above them turned off. That would probably tempt some people (me!) into getting more stuff than otherwise.

Awesome that they changed it so quickly. Seriously impressed by LNS as devs. We, as a community, let them know what we thought about something, and a significant change is made in the first real post-release patch, like a week later. Thanks, really.

I think I have an old installation of the standalone A-10C on one of my drives. :D I used to compare stuff when DCS World was still in its cradle. It wasn't trivial which version was better back in those days. We've come a long way.

And there was much rejoicing.

Can you say "conjecture"?

To be honest, anecdotes are not really useful.

CP is cockpit. :) The lods and external stuff is in CoreMods/aircraft/Mig-21BIS/Shapes.
