Thanks for reporting. Considering that this is a crash fix for issues I'm not currently experiencing, I'll postpone the update until the next patch.

@ED, Dear Sirs, thank you so much for this latest update (2.9.7.58923), for fixing the issues with flight time and landings recording, with INBOUND option in carrier radio menu. Also Air Boss station (PriFli) meets my expectations at the moment. I still noticed a decrease in graphical stutter compared to the last patch (2.9.6.58056). Thanks again.

Yes, even for me. Unfortunately, from time to time the INBOUND option is no longer available for some missions, then it is available again. I don't understand, let's hope ED can soon identify the problem and give the solution.

oh ok, it's probably just a circumstance. Anyway, now Carrier ATC is working again for me and that's the important thing. Thanks.

Yes thanks, I found out where the problem was. I need to enable the 'allow airboss' option from the carrier properties window in mission editor and communications with Carrier ATC are possible again. It therefore seems that Carrier ATC is now linked to enabling the Airboss function.

Solved the problem, at least for me, with the radio menu which no longer allowed the 'INBOUND' option from Carrier ATC. You need to enable the 'allow airboss' option from the carrier properties window in mission editor and communications with Carrier ATC are possible again (you do not need to also enable 'allow LSO'). It therefore seems that Carrier ATC is now linked to enabling the Airboss function. If anyone can verify, so as to confirm and help others. THANKS.

Thank you so much, until now I couldn't figure out how to manage the AirBoss functions and then fly 'my' F-14 in the same mission. Now the Air Boss (Primary Flight) deck makes sense to me too and I can finally use speed, direction and lighting functions during the mission. Thanks again for tips.

As suggested by BIGNEWY (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/353264-patch-discussion-july-2024/page/13/#elControls_5488566_menu) - the problem of recording flight times and landings has not been solved. - new problem: radio menu > F5 (ATC) > F1 (CVN-71) > only F11 (Previous menu) or F12 (Exit), the INBOUND option no longer appears. I attach track and debriefing.log of 3 takeoff/landing from CVN-71 which highlight the above. Test in Mariana + SC + F-14. Thanks for the attention. 2024 07 23 17.00 MA CVN-71 F-14B CQ.trk 2024 07 23 17.00 MA CVN-71 F-14B CQ.log

ED, first of all thank you for your efforts in fixing the bugs in the latest update. After fix patch 2.9.6.58056: - the problem of recording flight time and landings has not been solved. - the graphic stutter has decreased a little. - new problem: radio menu > F5 (ATC) > F1 (CVN-71) > only F11 (Previous menu) or F12 (Exit), the INBOUND option no longer appears. test in Mariana + SC + F-14. Thanks for the attention.

Before patch 2.9.6.57650 DCS was quite smooth, even on my non-latest generation PC. After the update I generally found consistent graphic stutter, especially on carrier deck and immediately after takeoff (Mariana + SC + F-14B). Bin-mt, NO New Launcher, Track-IR, NO MODs, Single player.

Thanks for writing that. It happened to me with SC and F-14 but I forgot to point it out.

I'm here too. For years, like perhaps many others, I have been waiting for the possibility of modifying the steer, speed and light's carrier. Then in 2020 the announcement of SC with a future AB deck... and now in 2024, I still find myself unable to easily change the steer, speed and light's carrier. Please, can someone explain clearly how to use the AB (Primary Flight) deck? It seems like you need to assign a slot. I essentially fly offline due to internet connection problems. Wasn't it easier to allow everyone to modify light's carrier using ME, advanced (waypoint actions) as is done with TACAN (activate or deactivate)? Couldn't it have been implemented in the F10 map, unit data window, and allowing the carrier steer and speed to be modified more accurately? Sorry, I don't want to raise controversies and useless debates, and I'm grateful for the great work done by the ED, but the question remains the same: flying offline, how do I change the steer, speed and light's carrier, going from f-14B cockpit to the AB deck? Thanks in advance.

Dear ED Team, thank you so much for this substantial update. It will take some time, at least for me, to try everything, fixed, improved or new. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this update. It will certainly still take some time to fix some new problems, but the premises seem really interesting. I encountered some problems, which I will report in the specific topics. Thanks again.

ok thanks, information to know, and how to disable the new launcher?

Thanks, I'll try this afternoon.

Dear HB Team, thank you for this significant update, especially in relation to NEW: AB detent position and deadzone now configurable in F-14 Special Options. DLC and speedbrake now wait 1.5s to retract while throttle is in MIL or higher. Boosted F110 mid-range RPM thrust. Increased pitch effect from thrust in landing config. Slightly decreased roll power of ailerons and stabs. Slightly increased dihedral effect in landing config (aircraft will return to wings level at very small sideslips/bank angles). I have never flown an F-14, but I have been a civilian pilot of single-engine propeller planes for a few years in the past, and the sensations that the F-14 now transmits in landing configuration are excellent, also regarding the response to inputs at the stick and throttle. Only one little problem for now, mirrors no longer reflect but always remain opaque.

YES

Thank you Eduardo

Hello ED, just for information, is there a summer sale planned? I don't want to know a date but only if there will be. Thanks in advance.

Finally this long awaited SC Air Boss ... we really hope to see something within a few weeks and not in a few months. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate everything that Team ED and even Third Parties do, even the smallest improvements, but I was really a little tired of occasionally reading some news and seeing some screenshots regarding the progress of the SC module and then wait several more months and read and see almost the same things. Anyway, thank you so much for taking this module forward into some really interesting ... and necessary features.

@TOViper And you're right. Thank you very much for your kindness, patience and support. About two weeks ago, while checking some settings in the bios, I inadvertently changed a CPU voltage parameter. On exit I had selected "discard changes", or at least I thought I did. In reality I must have pressed "save changes", because today when I checked that setting I noticed that it was wrong. I rebuilt the right one and now DCS works like a charm. Thanks again for your important help. I flew the F-4E and F-14 repeatedly, no problems. Antonio.

After today's patch I flew the lesson 4 basic (pilot visual landing), landed, taxied and stopped at ramp. So, I flew the same lesson twice more and each time, after about 10 minutes, DCS froze and the system automatically rebooted. Such a pity. I was really hoping to enjoy this plane even more than the F-14, but at this point I give up. Maybe some future patch will allow me to fly the F-4E too. With other modules I have no problems. edit: tonight I'm encountering the same problems with the other modules too. Until patch 2.9.5.55300 dated 05.22.2024 I had never had this type of problem with DCS. Really disappointed.

last update Today I did a test but not related to the PC. I flew with my old and dear Mi-8 and then with the F/A-18, a couple of flights of about 30 minutes, without any problem. So I tried lesson 4 basics (training) - pilot visual landing again and after less than 5 minutes DCS was freezing and I had to go out to the desktop. I really don't know what to do. I hope tomorrow's patch fixes my F-4E and F-14 issues.

@TOViper Monday update Over the weekend I discovered that even flying with the f-14, DCS is freezing. I didn't notice it before, because since the release of the F-4 I have only flown with this module. I believe that the problem is not related to the F-4 but to the latest DCS update patch. I carefully read the various sections in the forum (English/Digital Combat Simulator/DCS 2.9/Bugs and Problems//Installation and Operation/Game Crash/...). I checked the integrity of the RAM, video card, FAN and temperature, etc.: everything ok, no problems found. I also ran the executables from the DCS Game/distr/ folder. As far as I'm concerned, I believe that my problem (DCS is freezing after 10-20 minutes of flight) depends on the latest update patch and not on a single module. Sorry if I didn't immediately understand the problem, but thank you so much for your attention. Antonio.

evening update: - I flew lesson 3 basic (pilot take off and navigation) still without any problems. - I flew lesson 4 basic (pilot visual landing) and near Kobuleti, DCS was freezing. I performed an in-depth repair (check all files), and flew again same lesson, but this time DCS was freezing flying towards Kobuleti at 22000 ft, 27 NM. But now I've two saved dcs.log files which I attach. I hope they can help identify and solve my problem. Thanks again. dcs.log-20240531-191710.zip dcs.log-20240531-184236.zip
