AFAIK, the cockpit shadows can be toggled by lowering the shadows option. Search the forum for Oculus Rift, someone would've done it by now as I think the cockpit shadows affect the Rift somehow.

Me too :) thanks Mustang! I installed this earlier and forgot all about it until I realized my frames weren't dipping hardcore around forested areas. To tell you the truth, even in the KA-50 so close to the ground I didn't even notice the lack of shadows :\

Normally I use every frame, but under the circumstances I'm using plain 1024. There seems to be no difference in performance between the two, either setting still hits the framerate hard. One MFD on is fine (TGP or MAV), but it's both together that's the killer. My specs are: I5-4670K, 16gb RAM, nvidia 760gtx, non-ssd hdd, Windows 10, Trackir5, Saitek x52. Never had a frame drop before and I am seeing performance increases everywhere else (now using no tree shadows by Mustang) Hope this helps a little until I get a track file for you.

I think I'm experiencing this, except for the WHOT/BHOT. If I switch both mfds to TGP and MAV, bam goes the framerate. doesn't seem to matter if FLIR is on or off though. Never was a problem before _always used TGP to slave to MAV). Edit: my mfds are set to 1024. I'll make a track later on.

Same here, anyone? Flat shadows, better graphics or not?

Yup that fixed it. FYI, Steam's trying to load the run.exe in the root DCS folder instead of the dcs.exe.

I REALLY don't want the stand-alone either and I'm having the same problem. Verifying the cache right now to see if something went bad in that area. I'll report back in 10.

Yup, 2.7 gig on steam. I myself am out of steam right now lol. Time for a sleep, wake to beer and my beloved Kamov. I'd like to see that bradley peak me through a forest now hahahaha, revenge. Thanks ED and everyone involved XD

LMAO, it's 2015 and Starforce is still trouble. More for the developers than the end-users these days though. And for a free update for the free part of DCS too, that's gotta hurt.

You're running the new updater? Wasn't the updater the thing that was holding them back?

I remember that update, I had to wait a looong time to meet someone who had a copy. To this day it still looks cutting edge to me :)

Never seen this before, just followed the link. GOTTA try this, looks amazing fun.

Damn, I assumed it was Black Sea inclusive. All the talk of 'forested areas' didn't really sound like a Nevada desert thing.

Couldn't sleep last night (unrelated insomnia). Now I can't sleep, thanks ED. Breakfast time already :O Edit: Forgot to ask, the trees, are they munitions collidable?

Cheers for the update, hopefully it's just a minor issue.

Nothing official but someone mentioned earlier that if a mission gets broken by an update it's as simple as loading the mission in editor then re-saving it to fix it.

How long could a smoke test be really?

Hi guys, Well since Mr. Changelog says 1.5 will be released in a few hours is there ANY recent word on whether the steam open beta branch is getting updated too? I prefer steam for a lot of reasons (ED can't take that from me) and I'd rather stick to a single DCS install. Thanks.

Not a bad idea at all, it'd suck to have a bmp in a tiny clearing lased in the shkval perfectly though just to have it clip the edge of the "forested area" due to the angle of the launch though. It'd have to be a really tight system.

Hey guys, this is actually a bit confusing for me but... What qualifies you getting it free? I'd read it was the A-10 beta yeah? Does it tell you if you purchased the beta in your store library specifically or does it just say "dcs: A-10 warthog blah blah" .
