This only puts your head more to the front or to the back of the cockpit. It would be a solution to get a good view with a 3 monitor setup e.g. without zooming out all the way but the HUD is still a problem. A HUD scaling option would be very useful!

Did another test trapping missile hacks, i was watching the only player on the server and he didn't do anything weird. I noticed every log posted here has this 'event:type=relinquished' before the crash.. should be a clue i guess. 12504.824 INFO Scripting: event:type=takeoff,target=Nalchik,initiator=LO-004,place=Nalchik,t=74514.201,placeDisplayName=Nalchik,initiatorMissionID=1000301, 12505.920 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16966657, whois - C-130 LO-001 12507.705 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16963329, whois - S-3B Tanker AI-S-3B[1] 12512.321 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16897793, whois - IL-78M AI-IL78M[1] 12514.008 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16963329, whois - S-3B Tanker AI-S-3B[1] 12517.505 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16779777, whois - VINSON CVN-70 Carl Vinson 12518.120 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16897793, whois - IL-78M AI-IL78M[1] 12519.021 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16976129, whois - An-26B LO-004 12521.707 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16966657, whois - C-130 LO-001 12544.311 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16974081, whois - C-130 LO-003 12546.314 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16897793, whois - IL-78M AI-IL78M[1] 12549.106 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16974081, whois - C-130 LO-003 12550.621 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16974081, whois - C-130 LO-003 12553.920 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: added id - 16980993, whois - F-16C bl.52d A-002001 12555.926 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16966657, whois - C-130 LO-001 12557.808 INFO DCS: AWACSDBG: removed id - 16963329, whois - S-3B Tanker AI-S-3B[1] 12560.519 INFO Scripting: event:type=relinquished,initiatorPilotName=arnold121,target=Pilot #245,t=74569.892,targetMissionID=315, 12560.520 INFO NET: remove: client 6 12560.530 INFO EDCORE: try to write dump information 12560.531 INFO EDCORE: # -------------- 20171005-174151 -------------- 12560.531 INFO EDCORE: F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Weapons.dll 12560.531 INFO EDCORE: # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at E80AF79E 00:00000000 12560.535 INFO EDCORE: 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 12560.538 INFO EDCORE: E80AF79E 0013F350 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Weapons.dll ?findTargets@wWeaponSystemManager@@QEAAXXZ()+2AE 12560.540 INFO EDCORE: E808F5C0 0013F380 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Weapons.dll ?findTargets@wGroupTargetManager@@MEAAXAEAN@Z()+60 12560.542 INFO EDCORE: E79ECAD5 0013F3B0 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll ?setOption@wcColumn@@UEAAXIAEBVParameter@@@Z()+1F85 12560.542 INFO EDCORE: F8246E63 0013F430 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\World.dll 12560.543 INFO EDCORE: F8247346 0013F480 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\World.dll 12560.543 INFO EDCORE: 404CBB16 0013F4F0 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 12560.544 INFO EDCORE: 404D54FE 0013F550 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 12560.545 INFO EDCORE: 40182EBD 0013F580 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 12560.545 INFO EDCORE: 40184739 0013FC50 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 12560.547 INFO EDCORE: 4060C13F 0013FC90 0000:00000000 F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 12560.550 INFO EDCORE: 7741652D 0013FCC0 0000:00000000 C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 12560.550 INFO EDCORE: 7754C521 0013FD10 0000:00000000 C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll RtlUserThreadStart()+21 12560.775 INFO EDCORE: Minidump created. 12560.775 INFO EDCORE: try to write track file

Setting the Shadows to low will solve this but affects performance. Not sure when this happened but when setting the shadows to flat only i see no shadows at all anymore.

Yeah it can totally blind you, nice in close combat... Was already reported though https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3239109#post3239109

Yeah 2 carriers but some people may have been hacking lua files on their side. In my first log there was an event where someone was listed right before the crash and today i caught that guy firing Aim-120s from a Su-33 (no server crash, i reverted to previous version). Because of the IC blocking ground texture mods i don't have the IC active anymore.

Just reverted, Su33 has to wait i guess :P

Just wondering, how many (driving and/or active) ground units do you have in that mission?

If you don't need it on Windows you could try disabling the IPv6 protocol, i don't have it enabled on any server or game/sim machine and got no issues.

Ok, got any games that use UDP? You can try the same :)

Maybe you can try hosting tacview on 10308 and see if others can connect. If they can't the problem is something at your side locally, if they can then at least you know the TCP protocol works.

This is still happening after todays update. It was fixed in 2.1 already, was hoping this would come to 1.5 soon.... this is what gets you killed fairly often, nothing much too see when this happens.

What he said! :)

There's more issues with the HSI for some time now, they were reported.

Sure you can see per core usage under Windows 10, apart from existing tools that work i wrote something for it myself. I'm also running CTLD with a stripped version of MIST and i have no performance issues, although that's on 1.5.

Ok seems more like a MIST issue to start with, i don't know who did the latest work on that. Maybe you can draw Grimes/Speed/mrSkortch attention to this thread.

Yeah sure. CTLD uses MIST but MIST does a lot of background stuff, if you get fps drop just by running MIST it's more likely to be a MIST issue or DCS+MIST than CTLD.

Maybe you can try and pinpoint the problem some more, does the fps drop when you only run mist and not ctld in that same mission?

0 fps would be really bad, have you tried with different missions? Does your mission run scripts?

Well, i still do this. It's basicly the tick rate of the server, set it to 2 and you see everything corrected at a very slow rate. 30 is a good setting for a server. Should also lower CPU usage on the server when using 30 instead of 180.

What they're not supposed to taxi sideways? :) Seen this happen too. Although it can be considered 'normal' DCS behaviour every now and then, it did get worse with the last update. This may again also be related to other issues (# of units e.g). For Windows7 you can also get this CPU Meter desktop gadget that shows you the CPU usage per core. That no longer works on Windows 10 though but SpeedFan does and also shows the CPU usage per core. I'm sure there are other monitor tools, google might help there. DCS uses the last/highest core as main core by default, if you got 4 cores you should check the 4th core. If you got 8, check the 8th core etc.

Yup, more warping in the latest release.

This still happens pretty often, seen it happen with several aircraft and on several servers.

That's already fixed in 2.1, i'm sure they'll fix it in 1.5 asap.
