AKULA_OPTIMUS

Where did I say I dont like it, exactly? I even said I would buy it. Its a brown arid country, and showing colored maps of scattered human made crops and pictures of some green areas which are not even representative of 5% of the country doesn´t change it. It´s like saying Iran is not mainly desert because of the Mazandaran province.

Still mainly a desertic country, looked for images and videos of the Helmand valley, and I dind´t see a single forest or dense vegetation, just some light green patches of human crops. Forest cover like less of 5% of the whole country. Also, you can just use satellite images or even Google Earth to realise its a 90% arid country. It´s not the Sahara, but dont talk bout it like its a green country And having mountains its precisely one of the reasons that most of the country is so desertic. I´ll get the map because of its historic background, once is more complete, but I know I´ll be flying above all brown lands.

Did you tried the CPU affinity thing?That´s the only thing that works for me

It worked perfectly until 2021, so the render is clearly avaliable, its even present in the mission editor

Agree, but they are constantly working on lesser priority bugs, like some minimal texture fixes or putting missing engine covers on AI planes when parking, instead of fixing an instrument that cant do what its designed to do, that whats bothers me.

Also, to know when you are crossing frontiers.

Yea, just a basic aircraft functionality been broken for 3 years. All good

OMG still broken, it´s been almost 3 years now, nobody cares or whats going on????

As Schmidtfire said, Viggen radar screen looked better at the beginning, the first version was the best, it even casted light onto things. Now it looks like a 2D sticker, and does not integrate with the cockpit at all.

MT is now the default version. Check in the main menu, at the bottom right corner, it should say multithreading

The terrible stuttering still there forme since 2.9. It always puts one CPU core to the max, 100% , while the rest have irregular performance. The only way to solve it, is to turn OFF the affinity of one core with the task manager (I have 4), then turn it ON again, then all cores stabilize at smooth 90% and the game runs mostly great. But you have to perform this EVERY time you get into an aircraft.

Yes!!, new Syria stuff!!!! Also, lots of fixes and changes for the Hornet, Viper and core features, looking good

Awesome hornet news. But would the map MFD be fixed in the Hornet at last? It´s been broken for two years, at least in Marianas and Syria scenarios, been a basic function of the aircraft

Syria

Number of modules: 4 + some maps and supercarrier. F/A-18, F-16C, Viggen, C-101 (Plus Su-25, 27, and 33, but those are not full fidelity) Proficiency: F/A-18: 7 (My first FF module, I know how to operate it and all its weapons systems in combat pretty well, but it has A LOT of systems and still have to learn many things) F-16C: 7/8 (Same as the Hornet, this past year I flew it a lot, so I believe I know the plane a bit better than the F/A-18 just because I forgot things about it) Viggen: 7 (I fly it less because its more task limited, but I enjoy the hell out of it when I´m doing it) C-101: 8 (My newest module and the one I have less hours in, love it, all systems are modelled, but as it lacks modern avionics, its easy to learn and master, you have to know how to fly with this aircraft, not operating a computer like the others). With the trial periods I have flow almost all of them, and with many I learnt quite a bit, but I don´t count them for this.

Worst idea ever? Anyway, lots of things in this newsletter, and some very anticipated topics, its good to know that a lot of important thigs are bein worked on.

Being that the case, I could never understand how content creators like Growling Sidewinder can replicate tracks so accurately on their videos, even cannon shots

Regarding the aircraft itself, is far better, now it does not crash into the ground by itself after take off. The weapons still the same, they do whatever they want, and the things they do are different each time you play the track.

For sure there are tweaks in lighting, color, contrast and many of those things to make it have a more cinematic look. But for me, the thing that makes it more realistic and different from the actual gameplay, are the camera movements. None of those are present in the game, specially the smooth shaking effects and the ilusion that the camera is operated by a human, in my opinion that has even more influence in how different it looks from the game than the graphical settings. I wish DCS had something like that, its not that hard to make.

The video itself is outstanding, and the Fulcrum news are very welcome. Missing any news on the weather system tho, they showed new clouds two years ago (!!!), and nothing happened with them since New maps are always good but not very interested, as they are more of the same biome like Sinai, Persian gulf and Syria... wich would be awesome as contiguous terrain, but if you can only play in one at the time, not so much, as having one or two is enough. Keep the good work and happy new year to everyone

Well, definetly the affinity thing worked for me, or at least, it improved the situation. What I did is to once you spawn in a plane, alt+tab to go to the windows task manager, turn off the cpu affinity of the last cpu core (I have 4), wait a couple of seconds, and turn the affinity of all cores on again. Then go back to DCS. Here I show the graphs so you can see, hoping someone find it useful somehow.

Didn´t solve the problem entirely, but it definetly helped, thank you!!!!

Sadly this doesn´t work for me, once I spawn, and go to the task manager to switch CPU affinity to just one core. But if i get back to the game it becomes veeeery slow, and if I go back to the task manager again, and activate all cores, the game crash. I just dont know what to do, cant play DCS properly since 2.9

Are you sure about that? Considering like, 80%? of the player base doesn´t even know the forums exist, and of the ones who do, only a few write on them, and still is flooded with 2.9 stutering issues, the problem must be pretty massive

I had the same problem for months, some missions (only on the Syria map) never load, but a user from the forum gave me a solution that ALWAYS works, and its to first start the mission as a multiplayer server, it will load, then, you exit the mission (or continue it as a server), and then load the mission again normally. Give it a try
