Must be a memory leak. Dcs was using 6GB RAM and crashing my 8GB system. Never had this issue in 1.2.5

I have all modules except combined arms and the MI-8. This issue is present for all modules I have tested but more noticeable in the jets and P-51 (moving faster so easier to notice). I have done a full, clean reinstall of 1.2.6 and the issue still persists. I also have 1.2.5 installed and the issue is NOT present. My TrackIR is also up to date. I have experimented with vsync on and off (both in game and nvidia active vsync) with no noticeable improvement. The issue is not related to the movement of the head being different in 1.2.6, but the stuttering and screen tearing effect that it causes. This is definitely, 100% a bug.

Yeah, I came across the same issue last night. The second digit froze up and would not move (I'm not using Helios). Once this, the track IR screen tear issue and the radios are fixed I'll be happy! It's a shame there were two issues in 1.2.5 (ILS/TACAN Morse code not audible and yaw SAS, EAC incorrect) and 3 game breaking issues in 1.2.6.

Haha, this must be a joke!? Gave me a good laugh anyway...

(according to this forum: http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=17147) Other differences are: 1. Tri-state LEDs (which are also accessible by the SDK) 2. Dual spring centering mechanism - provides incremental stiffness as you move the stick away from centre 3. Dual hall effect sensors for increased accuracy of the stick axes 4. Metal shaft and centering mechanism for increased durability 5. Selected metal parts

Regarding the X-52 pro - I believe it comes with hall effect sensors (like the warthog) so it shouldn't lose its accuracy over time like the X-52 pro as there are no potentiometers. Probably worth the extra cash in my opinion for that feature alone. This article points out the other differences: http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/technology_104d.html

My advice is to just get the warthog. It's built like a tank and works brilliantly for the other modules in my opinion. The spit throttles and idle cutoff switches are great for the KA50 and Huey as you can control throttle, collective and fuel valves without having to use up any buttons. The initial outlay is pretty high but if you buy quality, you only cry once. If you really can't afford that and won't be able to for a good while yet, I'd go with something like the X-52 pro or you run the risk of not having enough buttons for modules like the A-10C. I actually know a few guys who say they wouldn't swap their X-52's for a warthog (not that I believe them!)

8GB here. 1.2.6 crashes and I get the low RAM warning. 1.2.5 is also installed and works fine

Any better fix than this? I like my headroll!

I'd like to fly the jaguar but heard it's very unforgiving and the avionics are a nightmare! Still, I love the rugged landing gear and the way the RAF flew it 100ft off the deck. That Harrier pit looks mighty fine though... What version is that?

While I'd love to see TARS integrated into DCS world, as of 1.2.6 the A-10C radios are borked as it is already. We got the TACAN and ILS morse code sounds back and got screwy radios instead. Honestly, I'd just like to see everything just work as it was intended to before adding more features.

I have two separate DCS installs (1.2.5 and 1.2.6) side by side on the same PC. Track IR performance in 1.2.6 is noticeably worse and I am experiencing the same micro stutters during head movement as others. Very distracting... I think this is a bug.

Probably the Dora.

The missing 'dash' to indicate which radio is selected on the comms rotary dial also makes an appearance in 1.2.6. I'm not a huge fan of the scribbled letters on the UFC though either. Wish Ricardo's HD pit came with the missing comms dial line... That would be the best of both worlds.

As far as I know the Mi8 isn't even available on steam yet.

I'd love to see a CDU version. Already stuck my Cougar MFD's to a second monitor :joystick:

Think the daily deal normally starts at 6pm (BST).

Thanks Eddie. Great info and glad to hear everything is working as intended. Now... If they could just get round to fixing those ILS steering bars ;)

Can't wait to see the new wingtip vortices and wing flex! When we get engine smoke and EDGE DCS is gonna be damn pretty ;)

What do those 6 buttons actually do anyway? Never used them...

I'd also like to add my thanks for this amazing mod. Thanks Ricardo! I can't believe you made this for the good of the community... it's so good!

Fair point. I won't start one again.

Wow... So much hate. I didn't start this thread with the intention of trolling. I just like the way everyone gets together on a Friday and talks about the weekly update. I saw that nobody had made one yet and thought I'd get the ball rolling. Didn't realise it was so despised by people... I rather enjoy them. It's tradition :(

Ridiculously early Wagdate thread! (08-30-2013) Well folks, It's that time again... Let the speculation begin! EDIT: Apologies if anyone hates these threads.

Clearly not... I have a hard enough time with the KA50 as it is! My brain doesn't work in metric.
