That's right

Dear ED, I've experienced that if I'm playing DCS Liberation missions on a "multiplayer server" hosted by my own machine, DCS runs smoother than if I was doing the exact same mission as a regular single player mission. The only reason I can think why this happens, is that when I'm running a new server instance, that instance gets its own CPU core to play with, which mean that the CPU core the game/client runs at will have more headroom since it doesn't need to simulate all the other units, because that's being calculated by the server instance. So my suggestion is that, even if you run a singleplayer mission, why not just start a hidden "multiplayer" server instance, programmed in the background so the user feels like it's a completely normal single player mission, so we can split the work on two CPU cores rather than one? To me, as a programmer, that sounds like an "easy" workaround. What you think?

Still no fix in this mission.

The convoy of vehicles are now just driving around in circles in the latest patch (2.5.6.49314), so the mission can't be completed. Just sayin'. A thought : I don't have Combined Arms, but will this module give better/smarter AI to all ground vehicles?

Or just set your CMS to AUTO and fly the route in the altitude specified.

If it's not working in stable 2.5.5, then it's ok to complain, but in all fairness, we are in no position to complain that a certain campaign is not working in the BETA we're opting for. We can report it, but not complain about it, IMO.

I assume you use stable version 2.5.5?

Thanks

Bug in mission 4 Night Hunt (2.5.6 OB)? I never get the cue to shoot down the armored APC. I've tried three times. The first two I just flew in orbit over the APC waiting and waiting till I get bingo, the third time I took the APC out, regardless of not HOT on target. But the mission don't get completed. Anything I'm missing, or is it a BETA-bug?

Just to make sure, do have a SPI, which is set at ground level? You will not get any CCRP reticle unless you do.

I had the exact same problem when I tried to use my MS ForceFeedback 2.0 joystick on the A-10. I use this stick for my choppers (because it simulates how a cyclic will trim like the real deal). But for fixed wings, you're better of by using a non force feedback stick. What kind of joystick do you use?

Are you on Open Beta er stable? Because I had only one problem with this campaign, as I mentioned earlier, otherwise it worked like a charm in 2.5.5 stable

have you tried to push numpad 0 to put yourself a bit more behind in the cockpit?

I played the UN campaign last time on 2.5.5. I remember I needed to open up one mission in order to remove some trees, because you are supposed to land up in the mountains somewhere, and when that mission was made, there were no trees at that spot, which the 2.5 update introduced. Just a heads up

If you go to your controls/key bindings, click on the keyboard column on any command, then press RIGHT ALT + HOME. Does the "start right engine" command get highlighted? If the command does not get highlighted, make a new binding for this command (as well as the left enginge), because then DCS obviously have problems fetching the keyboard command.

Do you see that your left throttle moves to the idle detent position when you’re hitting Right Alt+Home?

How come I never had any issues with this then? I’m having the same setup as you. (2.5.6 OB)

Ah ok, thanks. So it's a feature.

Here's my attempt of filming this. Sorry for crappy quality.

Yes, of course.

I'm still in the learning process of this aircraft, and there's one thing that's bugging me. Let's say I have a couple of GBU-12's on station 4 and 8. If I go to the DSMS page, and don't select any weapon, then click on "PROF", then move the cursor to the GBU-12, and then change it from CCIP to CCRP and set Auto Laser to ON for example. If I now go back to the main screen of the DSMS, select ALL of the GBU-12's on the page, and then click on "PROF", I'll go directly to the profile page for the bombs without having to select it once more. That makes all sense to me. But then, every setting I did in the first place are completely gone, and I must do it once more. So when I select a weapon in HUD mode with DMS left/right, how am I suppose to know which PROF settings are used for the GBU-12? The one I did first (without pre selecting the bombs), or the setting I did the second time (where the GBU-12's was pre selected)? I'm on 2.5.6 Open Beta, so I suspect this to be some kind of bug, or?

Very nice campaign! I'm at mission 14, without a wingman. I get shot down every time. I've taken out the SAM as well as the AA-tank at the front of the gates with Mavericks. What's the best approach for dealing with the man pad/infantry at the right of the gate?

Thanks =Panther=! The CDU is a bit intimidating for me, since I've just recently started to learn this airframe, but of course, the answer lies in the CDU :D
