Mnemonic

It happened like 2 patches ago, if you fly Canadian Hornet - drop-tank missing a texture

confirm, to catch the bug it's enough to stay on the ground and click arm/disarm repetedly it can occure immediately or after 2/3 times

It's great but I would love to see: - that airspeed indicator arrow to not start at 80 knots, - screens not to be translucent and in a sunny weather it's especially visible - holes in the stick to be closed (near the weapon selector switch) so that screens don't shine through the holes in VR - and the knob on the helmet visor for the pilots :) they have visors down but fixating knob is up there as they have it all the way open These kinda bugs break illusion of "being there" sometimes. But I believe it will be fixed some day, I really hope so! These looks like simple to fix bugs, not dependent from ED, yet because of low priority we look at them every day. The day these fixed I open the bottle of champagne! P.S. During flight I never see my afterburners to be honest, so it's not a problem, on the other hand I see pilot helmet, screens and stick all the time

hope this will get fixed soon, looks ugly...

Talking about graphical artifacts, in-cockpit shadows remain broken: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=247609

No answers so far? Shadows remain broken with latest patch too. Very distracting in many lighting conditions. Related topic: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4015222

Right now in-cockpit shadows are pretty much broken in every module, including F/A-18, looks like they are calculated from the inverted model of a cockpit, and therefore have holes in them and other weird artifacts. This was fixed in patch version 2.5.5.3299, but in subsequent patch it was broken again. I reported, no answer so far (2-3 patches since): https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=247609

One of the key features of that patch was: “Corrected shadows of external model from in-cockpit view, twice the size of before.” https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3949018&postcount=60 Can we have this feature back? Finally shadows were casted by solid airframe and didn’t had holes in them (like currently F/A-18 has very ugly shadow from the ejection seat headrest, when sun is from the back). We even had very nice and immersive shadows from the pilot helmets! Which was very cool, especially on F-14, where pilot avatar body can also move in the cockpit, not just rotate the head. Then next patch it was broken again, and still remains broken. Can this be fixed back? Thank you!

Was Raygun software updated? I would like to see that "Master Caution" button work with F/A-18, F-14 and others...

Nealius, thanks a lot, found it!

Excellent work Chuck! Thank you!

Hi guys, I like to practice formation flying, and would like to know what are the reference points on the Tomcat I have to lineup to be in a proper spot for the fingertip formation? For the Hornet that would be a tip of a sidewinder (on the wingtip) that has to be placed inside of the insignia roundel. On the screenshot we fly formation with my buddy. So what are the correct reference points for Tomcat? Thanks in advance! :)

When combined with Jeseat, buffeting effects feel great in VR in a Tomcat, and "puts" you into the cockpit. Also you feel all the nuances when wings geometry change, and that kick from the gun, incredible.

Yep, core feature broken unfortunately.

Can't wait to see this first person :) I also hope ED will return pilot shadows with next patch, it was so cool while it was working, I could block the screens from sunlight by moving my own body, very cool feature to have back!

Multicrew is bugged in L-39, when you switch controls between pilots - airplane stresses out and receives damage, you can even loose aileron or flaps in an instance, when just giving control to your buddy. This has to be fixed. Multicrew controls is a key feature for L-39 too...

We do have virtual hands in DCS :) It's just that they are not transmitted over the network. Do the network-transmitted hands is something that can be implemented? I would think yes, maybe Heatblur could check with ED?

У меня еще Як-52 есть, при первой возможности попробуем. На Томкете, например, управление не передается, оператор вооружения работает чисто с оружием \ сенсорами, и такой проблемы нет.

Спасибо, попробуем конечно, но этот вариант далек от идеального :)

Подтверждаю, та же самая проблема как и у Андрея, при передаче управления между пилотами кнопкой "J" - самолет испытывает мгновенный стресс, ну а дальше случайность: могут отказать приборы, может вырубить одного (или обоих) из пилотов из за перегрузки, может элерон оторвать. Вообщем не рабочая спарка получается, просьба разработчикам из ЕД вернуться к Л-39 и исправить эту досадную проблему, иначе получается "мультикрю" не играбельный совсем.

When another pilot takes control, L39 receives a strong force impulse, that in the very least - can blackout pilots, and at worse - damages the airplane. Just today (latest beta 2.5.5.33552) we flew with a crewmate and in the stable flight, controls neutral, when we switch the control between each other - aircraft visibly "jerks", and pilots black out for a few seconds, once during this "jump" we lost a left aileron. This is during level flight, no stress, just by pressing the button "Request aircraft control". Meanwhile multicrew is a broken feature because of this.

Yes, same in Hornet, also water on the deck-level shimmers badly and there are artifacts around objects against the water, on low / mid / high water settings, and it looks to me that it is related to the shadow bug. We need those fixed shadows back!

Confirm, shadows are broken again in the latest patch, please rollback

For many years I mostly flew singleplayer, until recently, now I have a friend with whom we fly almost daily.
