Good day.. so did the current DCS 1.5.7.10872 build addressed the fps reduction problem? ..at least comparable to 1.5.6....?
I'm hoping to upgrade since my F-15's flaps logic is broken... :)
Regards^^
-
...knew it... something's really screwy with the Eagle's flaps here on my install...
I always thought 240 was the VFE something of the Eagle... because that how it was... a few weeks ago....
Tried it again... confirmed... the Eagle's flap logic is broken... as seen in the next pics yet again...
gears extended below 250 KIAS... flaps? ..nothing....
..now below 200 KIAS... flaps down, finally....
Anyways.. I guess this is kinda moot since the latest build is 1.5.7... and this oddity only happens in my 1.5.6 install..... ^^ unless this recurs in the next builds maybe.... ^^
-
*Firstly, I'll admit i'm not using the current 1.5.7.something build..
For now i won't be upgrading unless the consensus states that the lastest build have improved framerates... or at least back to 1.5.6 levels...**
with that I'm just wondering if anyone encountered this problem back in 1.5.6...
For some reason... I can not extend the Flaps if I'm above 200 KIAS..... :(
As seen in the next 2 pics.. I'm well below 250 KIAS that I can extend the Landing Gear.. but for some reason.. I can't extend the flaps.. and no... my keyboard nor joystick aren't broken..
50 knots something slower.. I can now extend the Flaps...
Conversely.. if I go beyond 200 KIAS, the flaps auto-retract....
Really weird and annoying when a week ago, extension/retraction/auto-retraction can be done @ 250 KIAS below...
now I don't feel like doing overhead breaks etc.. because of this..
Any idea what can be done here? Thanks :)
-
..guess I'll hold off updating to 1.5.7 for a while... ^^
..kinda fearing 4+ hours of Downloading/updating would end up in frustration and regret when we have feedback that latest patch is still quite slow... ^^;
-
Thanks^ I will try to update next time.
-
Sorry for asking again... I'm still at 1.5.6.XXXX but I was just wondering if the FPS drops/stutters already fixed in the current 1.5.7.XXXX something?
Thanks ^
-
Eagle kit.. ^^
-
The Phantom kit that I built.. These are prepainted kits btw...
-
I'm wishing for anime adaptions of these.. understood... this isn't everyone's cup of tea.. the moe anime thing... but yeah... ^
Modern Jets + Girls is something i'd really love...~
Girly Air Force Light Novel series..
Here's some kits Tomytec released last year that i bought & built...
The Rafale is my custom work though... not an official kit...
-
deleted.... sorry
-
finally rolled back to 1.5.6.. so much better now.. :)
..had to watch 4 episodes of anime whilst waiting..
Now I got hooked to those titles.. thanks to this needed rollback.. lol...
-
Thanks all :) ...will do the rollback later or so^^
-
Actually this is my first time doing a rollback so....
Rollback execution in DCS involves downloading files?
I thought it would be like just deleting existing files and wouldn't take much time^^;
Sorry for my dumb question ;)
-
am i doing the right thing? in terms of rolling back.. seems like deja vu.... 1.5.7 installation last week with 2000+ mb worth of file size...
-
..will prolly try this weekend.. ..though I'm not really versed with command prompt..
but yeah... I was wondering if the patches somehow stack up?
Say 1.5.8 comes.. it will be like downloading the latest plus the previous 1.5.7 patch?
Guess I'll have to sleep for a while whilst updating... due to the big file size that needs to be downloaded..
-
Lesson learned.. whenever the auto-updater offers to upgrade.. will make sure to read the feedback in the forums first..
Internet connection is relatively slow here ..last weekend's update to 1.5.7 took more than two hours iirc...
Aside from stuttering.. there had been FPS drops as the mission progresses in my end... something i didn't really experienced before..
still thinking whether to rollback or abstain from playing DCS for now until a remedy patch eventually comes..
-
Sorry for the late reply.. I think I'm unable to file this as a report yet since i haven't really updated my OS and GPU Drivers..
but I guess it's an apparent issue since other users also experience this problem too..?
Perhaps other people could check and see the Engien Alternator problem
*not at home now.. so I'm unable to launch DCS anyway..
-
Seems that the N2 RPM/Percentage Power skips when you set the temperature below 0 degrees..
For now the only minimum I set on the weather options is 13°C but yeah, makes it kinda unrealistic since it's December and the Caucusus theater is now covered in snow...
(or at least I think it is.. living here in a Tropical country ...and 13 would still be very cold for me.. lol)
Idle would be at 58%, then slowly advanced the throttles to 62% for revving up just before the take-off run.. from 62% it definitely jumped to 67% whilst the Throttle Handle Angle didn't really advanced much..
running version 1.5.5.58891 btw..
**EDIT: ..updated to 1.5.5.5974, problem still persists**
@Idle 58%
62%
then skipped to 67%

At that point, pull the nose up (don't throttle down yet) to flare. You're going from your FPM at 2.5-3 deg to about 0.5 deg or less (but not zero, or you'll float). Once you're satisfied with the flare, pull power.
This perhaps was the missing link.. So far I'm having better and more consistent touchdowns in the past few days.. Aside from maintaining a 21 AoA 2.5-3 degree descent picture..
As for the ILS, I tend to de-activate it even at night.. only if the Runway can be seen clearly enough.. Dunno if what I'm doing is advisable though... It kinda adds clutter in my HUD view that's why..

I'm currently using a GTX760 by Asus
The card has 2 DVI ports, an HDMI & a Display port...
-
Thing is, I'm currently looking for a monitor replacement..
Since I'm still using a Samsung 4:3 monitor SD TV format
Anyways, I'm opting to replace it with a Widescreen.. but I can't go beyond 20 inches because of my limited Table space..
..considering the size limit, most monitors I see within the size range don't have DVI ports, mostly VGA although a few have HDMI ports..
with that, Is DVI an older tech? and that I should just go HDMI and find a supporting HDMI cable instead?
Thanks^

You're doing a visual approach, leave the ILS alone - you don't see it anywhere in the 'Normal Landing' video. Landings are visual FIRST, instruments are for when you can't see.
Do it right visually and get rid of INS. (And yes, ILS has its issues).
Do what's demonstrated in the video, not 'kinda sorta' what's in the video - don't ad lib, don't take away or add stuff - at all.
I was talking more in the context of night landings anyway... as daylight approaches, I have no problems since I could feel the ground rush more... Most of my better landings happen during daylight flights
that's why I mentioned the ILS.. but anyway I understand now.. guess it's one of the broken things in the sim..
-
I see, thanks..^ hope it gets addressed eventually..
-
I'm kinda following the things done in the Normal Landing Video.. So far I can pretty much land the F-15 in a much better way now..
but for some reason I have borked up my landings the past few days... been doing what was in the normal video training more or less but then I kept hearing that loud metal screech sound upon touchdown..
For sure my touchdowns are ugly again..
and for some reason it makes me think.. Is the glideslope in the F-15 ILS somehow bugged too? Perhaps by following it.. I'm somehow approaching too high?
F-15 Flap Extension/Retraction problem
in F-15C for DCS World

....I think i have a real problem now...
I just upgraded to the latest DCS 1.5.7.10872...
Seems that the Flaps is still broken :(
..gear can be extended below 250 KIAS....
..flaps only extend below 200 KIAS...
Also.. still confirming but.....the longer I play, the worst it becomes.. need to be as slow as 180 KIAS :mad: (will try to screen cap later... play duration should be at least 30 minutes long.....)
