Reshade allows you to change shaders and aa on the fly. I don't now if the rest is possible. Yes, there might be some lag, but might be worth testing.

I'm not sure if this will make sense, but I was thinking about how I get low FPS on the ground, parking, taxiing, etc, but great FPS once airborne. Would it be possible to have the graphics settings change with some variable, like your Aircraft's Alt AGL? So, when you are on the ground, you could reduce things that kill FPS like shadows, AA, Visb Range, Draw Distances(Clutter/Grass; TresVisibility; Preload Radius); etc.. You could specify which items you would like to have changed, and select the Alt to change them. Like 1000 ft AGL. You don't want them changing back and forth, so it would only occur once on takeoff, and reset on landing. Just a crazy thought.. :megalol: But I think it would be an interesting experiment. :music_whistling:

Great! Thanks. I assume there is a default in the mission editor. Do most people just keep the default freq, or is there another standard freq they use?

I put in a Support Ticket 5 days ago and have received no response. Thanks for replying..

If you are flying with Easy Comms OFF, What frequency/radio do you use to talk to your flight?

OpenBeta: I noticed today the most of my Huey Liveries were Missing the Textures for the external Gun Mounts. Further investigation showed that this only happens on the Custom Liveries. For some reason DCS loads the texture for the built-in skins, but not for the 'custom' skins/liveries. I tested this by copying the needed files into a custom livery that was missing the textures, and that fixed them. But this is a bug, right? I don't need to do that to all of my custom skins. These are the files: uh1_weapon.dds uh1_weapon_blk.dds

You have to rename all xxx.bmp.dds and xxx.tga.dds to just xxx.dds And remove the bmp and tga from description.Lua for those files. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

Yes, I just found this great tool and it worked the first time, then no more. I was probably extracting an older aircraft, but can't even do the P51 now. Arg..

Wow, I had not heard about this. I've been trying to fix several mods for 5 hours today. Now I am able to fix them. Thanks. @Fakum: Also found this.

Are they planning on fixing this??? Or should start changing all my mods? I would hate to fix everything and then have to change it all back!! :joystick::doh:

I just downloaded your Black Pit for the Huey from LockOnFilesdotcom and for some reason I get all Missing Textures. Has the description.lua changed or something? How can I fix this?

I noticed a missing FARP texture yesterday and after a redownload it fixed it. Do you have any Antivirus running? Sometimes that can 'fix' files without you knowing.

Just tried this mod and it seems to work fine except for these missing textures. The same textures are missing from both versions. I downloaded it twice, but got the same missing textures... Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I know this was a problem for many aircraft last summer. I just recently started flying the Huey again. And at night, the Position Lights and the Collision Lights show in the Interior of the aircraft. Thought this was fixed a long time ago. :joystick:

Alex posted the fix above.. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

Yes, that's it. You don't like bending and we don't like stretching. It didn't take long for me not to notice it.

Does this still work? I have put the Black version in the folder that I emptied here, but it doesn't show up in game. \Mods\aircraft\F-86\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\F-86F-35-CPT-TEXTURES So, I tried just replacing the F-86F-35-CPT-TEXTURES.zip with my .zip of the Black files and still doesn't work. Don't these skins need a description.lua file?

I have nVidia Surround on all of the time. Most people probably use the '1 Screen' monitor option, which is a bit stretched at the edges. You just have to compare and see for yourself. If you try the 3 Screen monitor option in Settings, the game will render 3 views(not 1 stretched one). My nVidia Surround is still on, it doesn't matter I don't think. I did some tests about a year ago and here is a comparison. I can't remember exactly how many FPS this cost but I remember that I felt it was way worth it! I think it was 3-5, but that will depend on your system. When you zoom way out the view get's wrapped around. So, I have zoom mapped to a wheel on my throttle and have a curve on it to stop the zoom out at a certain point. In the second image there is a bug in the corners of the harrier which I believe has been fixed. You can see the edges of the Helmet shield. These images were resized in MS Paint, so they have some jaggies AA on straight lines. Has nothing to do with 3 Monitors.

Thank you for that.. Now I need to update again. LoL :thumbup:

I tried swapping the Left and Right viewports, but that didn't fix it. I don't understand why it didn't fix it unless their internal code is just ignoring the lua code. I tried using the 1Camera.lua and now I get a Shader error that crashes the game. Ended up Reverting back to the last update: DCS_updater.exe update 2.5.4.25729

Since this is an ongoing problem, recurring several times the past few months.. Will there be any changes to your Quality Assurance Testing Procedures to prevent this from possibly happening again in the future?

It's more than the left and right being swapped. When I turn my head I see the center cockpit panel on 2 screens! I tried editing my MonitorSetup lua to move the left to the right, and the right to the left. And it was still screwed up. It is really weird. And when I try to use the 1 camera lua, I get a Shader Error that crashes the game!!

So, with todays update, the Triple-Monitor is totally broken and unplayable. I tried to fix it using different luas, but that didn't work. It looks like the left and right monitor are swapped, but in the MonitorSetup lua I swapped the left/right sides and for some reason that didn't fix it. And it looks more like the views are way off because I see most of my cockpit on 2 monitors! So, I tried to go back and use the 1 Monitor(1camera.lua) in the stock game folder and I get this error. I cannot even load the game now. But if I edit my Options.lua and tell it to use a different monitorsetup lua file (triple screen) I do NOT get that error. So, Single-Camera is fubar, and Multi-Monitor is fubar. It's all fubar! :joystick::mad:

Thanks for that answer. Is there any documentation 'tree', or any way I could read about this lining up for the runway trick? I found out a few days ago that the reason I got no response for a Request Takeoff, was that I was not at the correct Runway apron at Nellis(2 runways). This 'trial and error' is not a good way to learn these rules. Also, any idea about my Command Delay that I posted above?
