@Anubis_94 Hello. Do you still have the track for this? I cannot reproduce this scenario.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. Issue reported (again).

Devs are working on a fix.

That's a very strange behaviour. It is now reported. Many thanks.

A fix is in the making. In the meantime, here's a workaround: use default 1688 laser code.

The thread is missing a DCS track.

@TheFreshPrince Your issue may be caused by a mod. See line 3 below. I see you're using a Su-30 mod. 2025-01-04 20:21:28.360 INFO APP (Main): MissionSpawn:initScript 2025-01-04 20:21:28.926 INFO WEATHER (Main): reset fog animation 2025-01-04 20:21:29.018 ALERT APP (Main): Unhandled exception: Descriptor not found weapons.shells.M61_20_HE_gr 2025-01-04 20:21:29.018 ERROR APP (Main): Stack trace: 2025-01-04 20:21:29.018 INFO EDCORE (Main): try to write dump information 2025-01-04 20:21:29.044 INFO EDCORE (Main): # -------------- 20250104-202129 -------------- 2025-01-04 20:21:29.047 INFO EDCORE (Main): DCS/2.9.11.4686 (x86_64; MT; Windows NT 10.0.19045) 2025-01-04 20:21:29.049 INFO EDCORE (Main): 2025-01-04 20:21:29.051 INFO EDCORE (Main): # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00007ff758c027f0 00:00000000 2025-01-04 20:21:29.053 INFO EDCORE (Main): SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath: 'A:\DCS World\bin-mt;', symOptions: 532, UserName: 'Amadeus' 2025-01-04 20:21:29.055 INFO EDCORE (Main): OS-Version: 10.0.19045 () 0x100-0x1 2025-01-04 20:21:29.058 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x00007ff758c027f0 ((module-name not available)): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2025-01-04 20:21:29.060 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x000000fbd6cfcf40 ((module-name not available)): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2025-01-04 20:21:29.062 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x000000fbd6cff1d0 ((module-name not available)): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2025-01-04 20:21:29.062 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000e15ea8 (DCS): SW + 0x9293D8 2025-01-04 20:21:29.229 INFO EDCORE (Main): Minidump created.

An idea came to mind: since you're able to ping DCS servers but the game itself cannot, maybe it is caused by your antivirus. If you haven't already, add DCS main folder as an exception to your antivirus and see if it helps.

Hey, I think Wireshark is the next logical step, yes. @ejaimes Have you tried not using the launcher and see if the connection works? To disable the luancher, open "Saved Games/DCS.../Config/options.lua", look for the word "launcher" and turn its value from "true" to "false", then save the file.

If you keep having this issue, try this:

There's an internal request for external fuel tanks. Devs recently answered that this feature would need changes to the Mi-8 fuel system, which means "not now".

It sounds like a strange idea because only one track is used during a session, the one that is recording. Previous tracks are not used by DCS.

@Byteman21 As explained by @slans above, the noise you're hearing is produced b y the Damascus DOR VME beacon (116.000 MHz, just like on your screenshot). In your screenshot, you are already using the Radio mode (the antenna icon is green). Now, all you have to do is change your "2 ARC-186 VHF-AM frequency".

A track would help. Please provide one and I'll ask a tester with an AMD GPU to test it (I'm with NVIDIA).

Issue reported. Thanks gents.

I have noticed something interesting in @Fear-Factor's videos: some craters don't get displayed because they are happening on slopes. Maybe the bug happens because of this. So I had helicopters bombing the very same plot of land on a dedicated server, then I waited for an hour and came back to the place: no bug.

Please provide a track or at least the mission you have issue with.

That would be this one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/release/2.9.8.1107/

Not for me (from 83 to 41 FPS, a half). You won't see much FPS loss if you're using VSync. You also need to use a Resolution of Cockpit Display of 1024 to see the max FPS drop (1024 -> -50%, 512 -> -20%).

The internal report was bumped a week ago.

Yes, I did. Apparently, it's always the same crater texture. But sometimes, it is so elongated that it looks like some sort of brown runway skidmark. If someone witness this bug in SP, please tell me (it would ease the troubleshooting so much!).

Thank you for the track. I replayed it at speed x1 but could not see what you saw. Like @Fear-Factor said, it seems tracks won't help us here. I also looked at your log and determined the starting time of the visual glitch in your video (around 14:49:23), but nothing special happened in the log at this time.

Fixed with the latest update.

Thank you. Your options.lua does not help me see the kneeboard instead of the cockpit reflection. I have no clue what happens here. I hope devs will find out.

Many thanks. Issue reproduced and reported.
