Cobra847

We're close now. Just final checks.

This bug has been noted and will be looked into.

Is this occurring at all in SP?

+1 :)

We'll check this out; but regardless; the knobs being frozen in place doesn't seem intentional either way.

Avid gamer / simulation enthusiast A love for DCS How to Apply Please send your application, including a substantial portfolio to recruitment@heatblur.se About Us We are a passionate group of flight simulation developers, with a core development team consisting of Game, Visual FX, Film and Engineering industry veterans. Our goal is to mix our passion and technical expertise into a perfect blend of flight simulation. After developing parts of and publishing DCS: MiG-21bis in 2014, we've continued with our goals of building cutting edge flight simulation software, following up with DCS: AJS37 Viggen in 2016. We have just launched our new, flagship product, the DCS: F-14A & B Tomcat to critical acclaim. We’re now gearing up to take on new challenges in the fields of military simulation in the DCS and professional space.

We're moving the stress behaviour to a moving average to try to account for netcode.

I strongly suggest that you instead keep the criticism constructive instead of lamenting how crap third parties are at their work. It's the only way we're able to identify edge case issues where they may appear, and that is very helpful to us.

Yes But it decays quite fast.

That's not caused by the gap, rather a sliver of the transparent "dirt" lining (probably due to a shader bug). I've tried to fix this to no avail so far.

And then the flight sim developer goes into bankruptcy because the cockpit textures took 4 years to make :D Snarkiness aside; it really isn't feasible to deliver even two cockpit texture sets at our quality level and current workflow unfortunately. We did just add support for custom cockpits though, so hopefully we can rely on the fantastic modding community somewhat on this!

There's an sdef you can tweak in the Mods folder (I can't tell you the exact path right now). (something like JesterMenuNoise). You can lower the gain there. The tweak should pass IC.

Dumped all cockpit material names using a script.

This is a DCS bug. The flag that triggers when someone leaves the rear seat entirely (quits to desktop, not back to spectators) is bugged. ED is informed; hopefully a fix ASAP. This same issue happens if the RIO basically quits to desktop, alt-f4's, etc.

Added for next patch.

We expect them to arrive to most across the globe this month. :)

Locking distance is based on RCS IIRC. The manual table is based on a specific RCS.

We never ever dumb anything down. If anything was tweaked, it was only for increased realism per SME feedback or chart adjustments. :)

Nuked metashaders and fxo folders?

It was like that in the real thing that we scanned. We sort of left it as an easter egg. Might remove.

We master for 2.2 gamma, as is physically correct.

Can anyone reproduce?

To contradict IronMike, this issue is tracked in another thread. The Right engine will not light after repair or re-start. Fix in progress.

Ball inertia is modeled. It's not an F-14 bug that placing the aircraft on a specific place where two concrete plates meet causes micro-shaking in the suspension sim. You can "eliminate" this bug by simply moving the aircraft to a different parking position. The source of this bug is in the way the bumpy tarmac is modeled and imperfect collision modeling. We can probably fix it by introducing a lowpass filter, but that's a workaround, not a fix. It's a low priority fix atm :)
