Yes it does say that and with that it is still broken.

I'm not sure when you were on. 2.1 is our test server at the moment. It happened to me as well. Though a couple times yesterday we pushed some updates to the server that required manual restarts. EDIT: Deadly just told me a small 2.1 patch fixed the crashing issue. It was an ED problem not us.

ATTENTION PLEASE If you have tried this server or still are thinking about giving it a shot go ahead and jump on in. 1.5 server and 2.1 server have had some major overhauls. Instead of map icons showing you now have to use the radio F10 menu to find grid and nearest city of targets. Teamwork is key and objectives are more difficult for ground pounders. I've been included in the development of the ground missions. 2.1 has been completely overhauled. 1.5 has some minor tweaks. I'm hoping to re create those ground missions soon! Jump on in and enjoy.

Also works well with GBUs.

Deferred shading and MSAA cause stutters. Turn off deferred shading or lower MSAA. Or wait for patch.

Yeah I've run into group members of TAW and have had bad experiences with them. I wouldn't join that group or be associated with them. My latest experience being escape from tarkov. Being spammed constantly in IMs for recruitment. It is beyond annoying. Also have run into several toxic members. Being a big community it is going to happen. Sucks for TAW because they put a bad light on them for myself and my buds. SU-25T is a decent aircraft and is overlooked a lot. I fly the A10c but the SU-25T is fun to take out once in a while.

Yes I was and thank you.

Ì did not have these issues in 2.1 that lefty had. 2.1 is buggy due to the updated. Deferred shading and MSAA cause stutters now. Hung out with them in discord. Good guys.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I jumped on Nevada server and Nellis is overrun by multiple T90s. On Pandion guy in a reserved slot is attempting to clear it out. No one can play because the only spots available is Nellis and you get spawn killed. I'll shoot you a PM.

I just tested out the 1.5 mission. The level of incompetence of the people flying there is what makes the mission no fun. For me being more advanced with the A10c the missions are also too easy. It is a great concept and I'll fly there once in a while. Maybe take new people there to help train them. Though too many people just running into one objective and firing off 6 mavericks at anything they can see. Very few use simple radio so calling out what you're going to hit and where you're coming in from is impossible. I went to a really far objective that no one could be bothered with hitting. I killed a lot of stuff then shot down an AI SU-34 with my A10c. It was decent. Kept me entertained. As with most games, maps , public stuff. The players kill the fun. They were so obsessed with killing stuff they let a T90 and AAA roll onto the main airbase where it was spawn killing everything. I was landed in a field after my air to air engagement. Just laughed and then the server froze or the game froze and crashed.

I personally wouldn't purchase any training missions. I don't need someone to guide me on what to do and when to do it. I'll learn at my own pace. Use what I want to use. A very structured training environment does not sound fun. Where one wrong slip up and you failed. I learned the A10c just fine without it. Lots of wonderful victors A2G and A2A online with it.

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=185281 All my time as of late is spent helping out the TTI server. I help design Air to Ground missions for both the 1.5 and 2.1 server. The 107th is a multi role squadron. A place for every type of pilot. Very relaxed and very great place to fly.

Right now with the latest update there are some issues. They have been reported in multiple threads across the forums. By default deferred shading is on. With the new rendering you'll find that the colors look a bit weird or too bright. The A10c HUD is difficult to read for example and the cockpit is very bright. If you turn deferred shading off you'll see these http://s403.photobucket.com/user/HolyOrangeJuice/media/Digital%20Combat%20Simulator%20%20Black%20Shark%2005.27.2017%20-%2022.15.41.20.png.html?o=0 style shadows. So right now you can deal with bad shadows or bad lighting. It is up to you. Also Anti-Aliasing seems to be more performance impacting with deferred on vs off.

Screenshots look great. Might be worth flying over there again.

Since many people have reported and I can replicate the issue over and over. It is a problem. Even if one person can see it and another can't. Here is the blue shadow problem with deferred shading off. Looks like someone took a watercolor paint brush and painted it. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp113/HolyOrangeJuice/Digital%20Combat%20Simulator%20%20Black%20Shark%2005.27.2017%20-%2022.15.41.20.png

I've been using JSGME, Voice attack and the A10c for a good while. I'm confident I installed everything properly. I even got the fix for the ATC mod. I followed the instructions in the manual to the letter but I can not get this running in the update that was just released for DCS 2.0. I can't even get menus to show up with the ATC mod by pressing the easy radio button without using voice attack with the ATC mod and fix. Can someone confirm or deny the status of it. If it is working or not. I'm looking forward to VAICOM 2.5 as mentioned above.

Saw the thread and watched a track as soon as the flight was over. Got hit by an Igla and flew home wounded. That did not happen in the track. It missed and everything was good. The track was close but not a replica. Can't exactly use it as a replay. It helped me see what happened sorta.

I had the map with deferred shading off. With it on it is blacked out. Right now deferred shading makes the hud impossible to read and blacks out the map. If you turn it off your shadows become blue and washed out regardless of HDR setting.

Can confirm that this is STILL broken with the latest update including the deferred shading. I was doing a mission I built and I forgot I put an Igla down. I was flying straight and level in autopilot enjoying the view of some burning wrecks off my right wing. Out of nowhere my left wing exploded. I flew back to base and landed. Debrief said an igla. I watched the track and sure enough. I was caught off guard. No warning or anything. In that same mission I got warnings from friendly mavericks. So Igla and manpads are either broken or they are hard to detect. Either way you have so little reaction time.

I know the post has been sitting here a while. With the latest update I test 2 and 4 ship A10c runs. With my experience all commands work properly but you can't trust them against SAM/AAA. A person can attack an SA-8 easily with normal D mavericks. An AI seems to have issues with that. They get too close, they get a sam launch, dump weapons, and its been 50/50 if they actually dodge it or not. They don't attack very well unless you anchor them somewhere or manually position them and take out any huge threats to them. Otherwise they have been working as intended for me.

It is important to read the changelog. The one I read said the HUD was a known issue being hard to see. I didn't notice that problem yesterday but I was flying with deferred shading off. I turned it back on and HDR off to remove blue shadows. Which works. I'll be flying soon to test it.

There are plenty of us for ED to keep shelling out amazing content. That is good enough for me. I use to enjoy War Thunder arcade battles with my non sim friends. I tried to use my flight gear over there and even in realistic battles it is NOT realistic. War Thunder has its place. A simulator it is not.

If you go into your start menu you should have an eagle dynamics folder. Inside that folder should be a DCS updater. Or you can search for the DCS updater in your installation folder. Either way I had to figure it out too. I was confused that it would let me say later and not let me update. Blue shadows with the new update can be fixed. I saw it fix on mine with deferred shading on and HDR off.

BAD: -Shimmering unless you crank the MSAA which kills performance. -Blue shadows with or without deferred rendering Alright so I'm not crazy. The new shading looks weird and not proper. Then when you turn it off it looks worse. The shadows look like someone took blue water color brush and dragged it on the dirt. Now I am wondering if its a bug with the new system or what. Performance wise I never changed any settings and anti aliasing seems to be a problem now. Unless you turn MSAA on which eats my performance it is jaggy central. I was playing the day before the update so I happened to see the night and day difference the new update made. It is poor in my eyes. Though everything still works properly. The A10c autopilot was fixed. Though I wish by default the TACAN on a prestart aircraft had the volume knob off.
