    I have had this problem since the 2.8 update dropped.

    I’ve found that hi trajectory tends to loft it too high, so the laser spot is below the seeker field of view. Try lo or direct and see if it works. If this is the problem, maybe there is an issue with hi trajectory? I’m not sure but if you have a point selected as acquisition source, is the hellfire supposed to inertially guide to that general area or not? If so, it should point down and see the laser. If not, that would explain why it sails over. TL;DR - I’ve seen this a lot with hi trajectory. Especially when as close at 6km, try lo or direct.

    I’m much happier now. I still have a bad stutter issue on one specific multiplayer server, but I’m beginning to suspect it’s a scripting issue on their end. I can’t figure why it’s only an issue for me though. My FPS on that server is extremely low, I can’t figure out why. As for the motion stutter, locking FPS at 45 using Radeon Chill was the ticket. This locks me at half refresh, which greatly smooths out the experience, even without reprojection. My old chip couldn’t maintain above that 45, but the 5800X3D is giving me 60, which put me right in the middle between refresh and half refresh. That’s why it didn’t feel smoother!

    Anyone able to realistically complete Mission 12? I'm no Maverick but I know what I'm doing well enough... But with the threats in the target area, and the weather pushing me down right into the threat band for all the SAMs and AAA, I can't even get close to the target. Finally got taken out by an SA8 that's impossible to avoid if you plan to hit the target. Plus my wingman broke off well before the IP to go full LEEEROY JENKINS!!!!! on the target, well ahead of the CAP and SEAD.... predictably he didn't last long haha Edit: Got it second time around, this time the SA8 wasn't a problem. Did my bomb run with tracers whizzing by all sides, felt like that scene in Flight of the Intruder. And BIG THANKS for the skip to push option, I absolutely love it. I've long lamented the lack of a save game feature in DCS, as it's a tough pill to fly an hour to the target and get shot down, and have to re-do all that just to get back to that point. Skip to push is a wonderful elegant workaround. Love it!

    Aha, so I’m not crazy! Thanks!

    Hey, am I nuts or in mission 12 are you landing with a tailwind? It felt AFU, and when I checked mission editor, I think there's a tailwind on final! Ugliest approach I've ever flown

    Thx for the info all. I need to do some more testing now in heavy missions, I’ll probably be happier when I see the gains there. I tried reproduction, but it was very wonky, and had a ton of artefacts. I need more testing there to see if I can get it looking half decent…

    Well I think I’m in the minority, but colour me disappointed. I seem to have the opposite experience from others. Stepping up from my 3900X, I’m seeing a decent increase in frame rates, but the experience feels unchanged. Instead of micrstutters at 40fps, now I have microstutters at 60fps. What I was most hoping to solve is a very stuttery / jittery view when looking sideways flying low level, especially in Syria. While my FPS number is definitely higher, it doesn’t feel any better. It still stutters and jitters. I may look at returning the processor. I didn’t pay this much just to say I had a 30% increase in FPS. I want a better visual experience and I’m not seeing any difference there.
  9. Sandman1330
    Sweet! Just picked up the chip, will install tomorrow. I’m already on the latest BIOS, as it gave me resizable BAR on my 3900X too. Looking forward to smoothing out the stutters on the low end.

    As yesterday’s news shows we are probably still a year out from the multi core engine, and it sounds like it will still only use a small number of cores initially, I pulled the trigger on an X3D finally. Thankfully my local store must have just gotten a shipment because they had stock for the first time in awhile. This should last me until the engine comes out next year, after which I’ll look at a new build. Quite amazing, my current build started out in 2017(!) with a Ryzen 1700X and 1080ti. Now I’m going onto my third processor and already upgraded the card to a 6800 XT last year, all on the same original motherboard. Kudos to AMD for AM4’s longevity and upgradeability!

    Following. Which frame time line is for which? I *think* green is GPU, and white is CPU?
  12. Sandman1330
    Cool, thx. My fragile ego was hurt by not seeing 100
  13. Sandman1330
    I see the guard police were out in full force for Mission 8 Edit: Question on Mission 8 though. Both my harpoons hit, and I destroyed both boghammers, and landed on the boat, but only got 60 score. I did take one round from a boghammer but had no damage so I chose to continue mission and RTB normally. Does getting hit cost you points?
  14. Sandman1330
    Yeah in Canada they are pretty much sold out across the board from major retailers. Just resellers have them now, at inflated prices.
  15. Sandman1330
    Thanks for your assistance, but I’m not going to re-fly a 2hr campaign mission that I already completed (crash happened on RTB after mission completion, as is the usual). I’ve already spent far too much of my time troubleshooting this bug, I’m moving on
  16. Sandman1330
    Interesting… it presented identically to the freeze bug we are discussing here. You sure this is the cause of the crash, and not something secondary? No one else has reported this bug in the Bold Cheetah thread. If it’s a bugged mission others should be seeing it too.
  17. Sandman1330
    This is getting extremely frustrating. I can't do anything in this game right now. Had to shelve Raven One, started Bold Cheetah, it was fine until mission 4, now I've experienced the same on that campaign. So I guess I'll shelve that campaign too. I'm running out of content that actually WORKS. Here's another log. dcs.log
  18. Sandman1330
    Great work! This thing rivals paid campaigns. You are truly a saint for making this available for free. Quick minor note - On mission 4, the push time in the kneeboard is :20, but I think it's supposed to be :30, as I was all alone when I pushed at :20! The voiceovers started and the AI started doing their tasks at :30.
  19. Sandman1330
    OK fair enough! There is some chatter that Heatblur may be making progress. Let’s hope….
  20. Sandman1330
    Another data point, Raven One Dominant Fury Mission 8 froze on RTB, almost exactly 40NM from mother. Very consistent with the previous crashes I've had. Log attached (Open Beta 2.8) dcs.log
  21. Sandman1330
    @baltic_dragon: Good news and bad news to report this evening. Good news: Your fixed mission 8 solves the push issue, I was able to complete the entire mission. Until... Bad news: The AI F14 crash is still present. DCS froze on RTB 40NM from the boat. My log is attached, and I'll throw it into the main crash thread as well.dcs.log Question / Suggestion: There is an old F14A AI model still available in game. The 3D model would have looked bad in the old US Navy Fighters game from the 1990s, but would switching all the AI F14s to that model present a possible temporary workaround? I know I'd take an ugly AI F14 over the crashes. Thoughts?
  22. Sandman1330
    Sure!

    Oh ED, how can I stay mad at you when you do stuff like this!!! I am entertained. I am very entertained.
  25. Sandman1330
    Thanks BD! I don't have time tonight to attempt the whole mission, but I flew it as far as push time, and all the AI flights pushed as fragged. I'll fly the whole mission hopefully tomorrow. And on a side note.... null
