The Black Swan

Ok but these are drops, not very steady... i usually get over 80 fps in external views but now it can jump to 30 for a minute. seems to be worst with the M2K Has anyone else had the External TrackIR feature not work on the mirage?

Yeah, usually when new updates show up and people complain about performance issues I don't see anything. But with this update it is very noticeable, despite being a little inconsistent.

Also forgot to add that FPS seems to drop more than usual when looking at runways... Kinda weird

Found several bugs, wasn't sure if I should make a separate thread for each one so here goes... -head tracking disabled message keeps showing up even when it is still working - Music restarts every time you move to the main menu. Wouldn't be a problem, except that it starts in the loading screen when you start the game and restarts when the menu appears. - overall FPS drop when looking at ground objects, this one is very inconsistent but noticeable. It was really bad in a practice mission I made for the M2K where I had a bunch of vehicles on a runway to attack. The mission used to run fine with nothing more than usual and Fps drops. But now what used to stay in the 40 and 50 range will now suddenly jump to 20 FPS. - like others I can't see powerlines anymore - I cannot to get bombs from the M2k to detonate anymore. With the master arm on I've tried different modes and it still doesn't work. Tested this with the GBU 12 and snake eye. - And last of all, TackIR sometimes won't work in the M2K. When I do get it to work, The awesome new external view TrackIR controls don't control the M2K. But yet it works fine with other aircraft. Some of these issues could just be razbams fault Overall like the new update though. Really hope fixing bugs won't slow down 2.5 :cry:

yes yes Yes YES!!!!!!!!!

Haha! Sounds about right! :D

The f-4 is great.... But if we ever got around to multi engine bombers in DCS I would have to go with the B-17. Especially after Normandy comes out

Oh man a mod like this needs to be in DCS standard........ ED should implement this!

Lol.... Don't pilots call the f-15 the flying tennis court? Or am I thinking of another? :D

Wow, that's a nice build. :)

Hopefully ya! Would be amazing for future carrier ops!

!!!!! Look at the screens on the website!!! New 2.5 water?!?!!?

Well by the time we get the strait of Hormuz we will probably have the DCS hornet module! :D

Call it what you like, if the situations Hegykc is going through are legit, then some of the skepticism that has been shown on this thread isn't very incouraging to him.... Try to see it from his perspective is all I'm sayin

We are talking about a guy having his personally designed products delayed, my point is to stop bashing him and offer help.

Hegykc, sorry about people turning on you like this. Please don't take it as an indication of the whole community...

Awesome!! Is the entirely seperate HOTAS still a plan? With your own bases? Can't wait. And to all the people complaining that there are only renderings and no real pics, have you designed a product before? If so why not give him some advice or offer help? Seriously....

Gotcha thanks.

Do the LED trackers as opposed to the reflectors help with infrared interference? Or do you still need to shut window blinds etc.?

Wow looks like an impressive job.

Mabye, the last newsletter banner had 2.5 tress in the Caucasus but y'know... Everything is subject to change

Just for interest, check out the Gerson therapy. It's used for cancer. Most mainstream docs reject it despite its 90% some success rate. Very hard diet though. Usually cancer paitents are the ones to take it.

Yes, and you use them to attack the new grass and vegetation in 2.5 :D

Hey on a side note, did anyone notice in the title picture on the last newsletter there were new trees on the Caucasus map?

True.... I understand what you guys are saying. I'm just afraid it would open a door that might slow down progress in other areas that's all.
