Agree. Kudos to ED for making this happen . Not a pressing issue but was wondering if there could be some GUI checkbox in the future for the general DCS users ? The command line option seems more for advanced users . once again ! Good progress !

F-15 also has radar lock issues

some other oddities around locking with F15. RTS and then search again worked - undesignated doesn't work

Since patch, doing a simple straight on ACM - I'm seeing where I'm unable to lock a bandit straight ahead in TWS or STT. Doesn't happen every time. Auto Acquisition works fine - so this is with captain bars. Had it both in MP and SP.

I suspect my target was too close . is this a code issue or simulating real life ? (1nm)

I followed the instructions per the patch notes but the boresight isn’t working on cold start . It’s not close to the pre targeting pod location

Guess just clear them since we don’t know

No updates since 9/10 … “next year”

Why even give estimates that are this vague and open ended - that is what I’m saying - just leave it at giving status updates . The progress report is a great news item - I’m not saying don’t give status updates. If I’m not mistaken last year it was 4Q of this year - so … Ie . Internal testing - so how is it going ? Are you seeing improved performance ? Better frame rates ? Ability to turn up settings with better performance ? Fixes the flashing loading screens ? Allows for objects drawn without pausing ? That would be inspiring news to be worthy of making the newsletter “Next year” is a meaningless phrase that becomes a joke - anyone in this product knows this

Great news . Suggestion:- another “next year” news item. ED seems to feel the need to throw out arbitrary news with arbitrary dates that are never met. Seems by now you’d stop doing this unless you like like the constant “2 weeks” banter as a mocking of how silly your dates are. We’ve all grown old of this. So how about you just wait until it’s done and then say “next patch we will introduce multicore” and not continue to make the same mistake over and over again. Just 2 cents from someone who spent $6000 this year to play your game :)

Any updates from the dev team on this topic ?

I did this on 2.8 and what I described has not changed . ED is still limiting view distance in an artificial way that is odd - seeing lighted roads through a city but not seeing the city lights is not ideal

Can we get some clarification on this please ?

Having the same issue with the latest patch

I have to restart my DCS after playing a mission and then joining a MP server. If I leave and come back to the save MP , I have to restart DCS first. Is this is a new 2.8 feature ?

Followed the instructions but in 2.8 it appears the delay stays on despite the documentation ?

Flew a night mission in PG and not to far away is a city with lights: I could see the road and it’s lights clearly off but had to zoom to see this big city with tons of lights . What I don’t understand is why doesn’t visibility distance allow a further distance rendering ? ED artificially caps this requiring zoom which is not very realistic (same for contrails). Again should be part of the visibility not a zoom feature

It’s a for profit product with professionals building it with cost associated with it more than most any game out there - $60-80 modules etc .. enough said - good luck - it is important to allow customers to voice reasonable feedback so glad on this medium I was able to do this for myself and my squad mates without being muted. I’ll explain to them today that it was a hoax and not a bug in 2.8. Glad we can disable it - didn’t know about this feature until this morning

Not everyone saw skeletons we just saw green covering our views - which after a 2.8 patch - had no idea - thought my video was going bad. Tried mission editor settings, repaired games etc . At least 2 hours of frustration Had a planned sortie as a group which we had to cancel (you know husbands and father who take their free time serious) - only to spend the night frustrated and confused This isn’t some kiddie App Store game - where Id expect this level of immaturity. Thought this was a professional level product ? I don’t want flying turkeys, reindeer’s, April fools , Halloween costumes in my DCS product.

Spent hours last night troubleshooting green effects assuming lighting bugs from 2.8 Wasted time reinstalling the game, video drivers etc. Hope ED enjoyed messing with their customers for a joke. Maybe consider not everyone wants to be messed with who take the product serious.

is there any value outside of not seeing it ?

Darn. Maybe ED can try to attain legendary status of 3rd party devs who care about their customer and often provide multiple models and variations. Sadly no Feels like that got my cash and that was that when it comes to the red headed stepchild of the F-5

Any word from ED on fixing this ?
