Airway

A couple is minimum two weeks and two weeks are 14 days. So minimum four days left :smilewink: ;) ;) :D

Oh thank you very much! :)

Simply cold start training mission in 1.2.7 should bring it up

I can comfirm this for 1.2.7 and it is reproducable:

Today I found that the cold start training mission gets stuck at the point when one has to turn on AFCS pitch/roll autopilot channels. Neither clicking on the lamp nor the key binding works here and mission can't resume. This is only in the most recent Open Beta version 1.2.8 the case. Old 1.2.7 works

Don't be sorry that you made an absolutely awesome video :smilewink:

Awesome! One question: What's that big black frame around for? Would love it full size :)

Seems I mixed spending bonus with receiving bonus. Sorry. Ok now that I got it correct, I just can say - I ran out of modules to buy and spend credit on, anyway. I have all recent modules ^^

I don't know where you are reading or if it may be a language barrier, but I collected $32 with my purchases. So I get a possible $29.99 Addon for free or a $39.99 for $8. Really really bad bonus system. This totally sucks! ;) :smilewink:

Was für eine Arbeit! Vielen Dank!

Ist die Open Beta denn noch in Verwendung? Die offizielle Version ist doch Versionsgleich.

Lock on: Modern Air Combat ist mit der neuen Version 1.2.7. von DCS: World nicht mehr Voraussetzung. Das Flaming Cliffs 3 Modul für DCS: World kann man ohne installieren und verwenden ;) http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/dcs_1_2_7_is_now_available/

Danke für die Rückmeldung. Die Ruckler sind mit dem Patch für die Open Beta, nebst anderen Bugs behoben. Schöne Feiertage zusammen!

Top Video, vielen Dank! Da ich in Deinem Video auch leichtes ruckeln entdecke, und ich starke Performance Probleme unter 1.2.7. habe, wollte ich fragen ob Dir auch Probleme oder ruckeln in 1.2.7 aufgefallen sind. Bei mir ist es schlechter als 1.2.6 und so leider unspielbar. Auch sehe ich den neuen Engine Smoke nicht.

Yes, that's it! Thank you very much! :)

And where do I find the music that is used in this video? Absolutely great!

Awesome nice little video! Very well done! Thx

I just wanted to add myself to this thread as I have the same issue too

Was zum Henker? (wtf) :huh: :blink::surprise: Well, mostly I've been into the cockpits, fighting the enemy. ;) But how that had been hidden beneath the Prism stuff, I don't know. Thanks for pointing me onto it! Doesn't make me more optimistic though. Maybe waiting with upgrading the computer, until EDGE is released.

Well, there's rumours about a new game engine for DCS. Any hope they will consider existent performance issues in the development of the new engine? And what's the deal with Windows 8 which is already dead? I won't upgrade from my good working Windows 7. Not even when I upgrade my computers hardware.

The problem is, they changed the specs while everybody kept their systems. The ones with fast systems were lucky and were not affected and the ones with medium and slower computers were doomed. If I had known that in advance, and had the option to choose whether to buy the new version with highter specs or not, I had not bought it. This way I could still run DCS and all the modules I had bought till then still smoothly and prepare to buy a new faster system in the future while leaving out newer modules till then. But the way they went now, affected all my DCS modules and I only have the option to buy a new system now. Wait, no I don't have that option as I can't print money. I wish they had informed the community more transparently about this in advance.

Guide - Using DCS_Updater.exe to Update, Revert, Repair, or Install Modules

Well, as this is an old game and engine, I recommend optimizing it by the developers. Especially RAM usage. Just think of all those differents modules and multiplayer. Huge lags and freezes will be the result if its going on like this. It's not an option and affordable for everyone to buy new hardware, just because the old DCS engine is so inefficient. And it doesn't fix any bugs.

As I said, before version 1.2.6 was released, I ran DCS on the same machine with a lot higher settings and huge preload radius. That's why I wonder and opened this thread. Isn't tweaking in DCS' files an option?

I heard you all and thanks for your recommendations and hints! Did three testruns. As is, lower settings, tuned CPU & GPU. Here's the result: So the Mainbord is capable of running up to 16 GB of RAM - I will invest here. And the graphics card is a bottleneck too. Will maybe invest here in a faster card with 2 or 3 GB videoram instead of the 1 GB it has now. The CPU seems ok so far, till I decide to set up a new system next year. I hope this tuning works out till then. I also set scenes to medium. Didn't do a lot but a little. In my last test step I reved the CPU from 4x3,2 Ghz to 4x3,5 Ghz, the GPU Core from 650 to 800 Mhz and the GPU memory from 1700 to 2000 Mhz. Seemed to help also. But only until the RAM and new NVIDIA arrives wich I have to choose first. I hoped to hear some editing tips for the DCS config files to get better fps and lower memory though. Wasn't there a little tool for Flaming Cliffs once, where one could reduce some items to load?
