AKULA_OPTIMUS

Really? I didn't expect that

It´s not free, its a free visual update of the FC Su-25 I wish it comes soon, love that aircraft, and it needed some love.

Maybe those presets are the ones we already had a while ago but they forgot to include them in the changelog until now

Those Tigrs are great to place in certain positions and illuminate or mark things, but they dont work anymore. In fact, no ground vehicle cast any light right now. Is that a bug?? Cause I hope so, so it gets fixed eventually.

Yes, most of that is cosmetics, all those things you said (like not be able to see through clouds and fog)are present in almost every game ever that have those thigns in them. Clouds do nothing, fog does nothing, rain and snow do nothing, temperatures do nothing. Only affects some system capacities, and thats it. It doesnt even change through time, which is one of the most basic things wheather does. Even some racing games have more features related to weather conditions.

Thats more about unit systems than weather functionality

Weather right now in DCS is just cosmetics.

These things had been happening since the multithreading were released and never been fixed The only thing that works for me is to turn the affinity of the 100% core OFF, and the ON again, and all cores stabilize at 80% or so and stuttering mostly goes away. But you have to do it everytime you jump into an new aircraft.

Well, what the tittle says, ED showed us this kind of clouds like 3 years ago, and since then not a word, and clouds are mostly the same since they came out in 2021. Are they still in the works, will they come anytime soon? They look very cool and thats something basic to simulate real weather conditions, weather right now is so limited and simple, beautiful to look at, but thats it.

I guess is all lack of human resources, and also that it is a very low priority item for ED. But its true that many units are ridiculous low fidelity 3D models. Personally, I think some of them will never be updated.

Seen the same. Smoke looks ok when you are inside the fog, but if you watch it from outside, it looks unaffected by it.

New fog is awesome so far

I think I can smell it already...

Its incredible how ED let third party campaings (and many more things, even modules like the Kiowa) being broken for a month, not even releasing a quick hot fix, it doesn´t generate much trust on the buyer.

Some random shots of recent flights, I love this aircraft

New fog is a big deal

No, its the new DCS version that made all Syrian campaings unsuable. It is fixed by the creators but for some reason ED don´t want to release a hotfix, and let the product be broken for 3 weeks straight.

Doing a rollback to previous version solves it. But we shouldn´t be doing those things, specially since there is no Open Beta anymore. I´m just complaning about the long waiting for a problem that´s already been fixed internally, more if that bug makes the product unusable.

Still no hotfix for Syrian paid campaings? Its been almos two weeks and right now they are broken products, looks like ED doesn´t care, considering they´ve been fixed for days by their authors. Why the wait, so you can include it in the next general patch? Why not a simple hotfix instead of let them be unusable?

Yes, in five years time. Still, if ever happens, I'll get it.

Dont forget the C-17, Bear, Tu-160... there are many more. But we wont see better models for years to come, if ever. Still a mystery the new paid asset pack for modern units that is in the works, but I'm sure it wont include even half of those aircraft

I really want to get this module, the only reason I dont is because how old it is, and it looks like it will never be updated. Its a shame because no one is gonna make another Fishbed, probably ever.

I solved it doing a rollback to the previous DCS version, all works fine there

Almost all campaings in Syria need a hotfix after the last patch, thought this would be it, hope it doesnt take too long

Music in DCS is the most annoying thing ever. Always have that off BTW, what is "sim music"?
