Razbams comment on the SA map were funny in the patch notes. Pity the F15SE is so slow to get new stuff though, and also the AV8B got no fixes again from them.

I understand they are modeling the AH64 data link, what is its used for in the real world Apache, I understand maybe target data, but why would you send txt msgs when you can just use the radio's Now also why would you/I use it in the DCS Apache ??, im at a loss for its use in the game can some one enlighten me why to use it other than just another system to set up as part of it being procedural. Cheers

Curious with the new Data link, if one of my MP buddies sets up a WP he can share it to all of us on the same network in the Apache ??a Sent from my TB350FU using Tapatalk

+1 For all of the above and for it to work 100% with every client, I know its a work in progress but at any point in its development our squad wont move until we know it will work for everyone.

That's because by now most servers will have a Discord community around them and if they did their home work would have had a group of regulars test it as soon as it was out to see if the server should migrate away from SRS (this is what we did with our servers) and by now they would have come to the conclusion its just not worth it at this stage as its very buggy and inconstant, plus the key bindings for it are still not really a mess and don't work as well as SRS, all these issues have been reported and noted by ED, as soon as ED fix all the issues around using it with big groups of players (8 or more) and add all the external items that link in with SRS that the servers will be using also for their player base to use, then I think a lot of servers might migrate to it, but until then its really only 50% there, SRS is 100% there now and gets updated really fast, ED may take another 2 years to sort this one out.

Same here 2.8 George was ok in wind, in 2.9 he has forgot his flight school training and is useless again

I get the same, its been a DCS issue for a long time, its worse in helicopters more than planes though and especially the KA50, its a lot more over exposed in 2.9 than it was in 2.8

We have seen loads of issues similar to above posts After more testing we wont be moving to it any time soon until it gets an update again, tested with 6x squad members. 4x F16 had a good test on 305mhz, but the other radio was problematic and very inconstant Squad mate in an Apache tuned to 305, we could hear him, he could hear some of us, couldn't hear me, I then jumped in an Apache then it became very inconstant who could hear wo and who could transmit couldn't hear, in the Apache only 1 of the 5 radios worked as it should. So its very hit and miss at the moment and not worth even trying to get everyone in our Discord group on it as id say there is a less than 30%-40% chance that it will work correctly. So well stick to SRS for now which just works as it should I will say this its nice when it works, the radio effects are really well done and I really like the over all sound of it as a radio, if it was 100% reliable and all the issues and changes are made (key bindings mostly) we would consider moving. It took 2 years from the fist integration of the ED VOIP system and then it sat gather dust, there seems to be a big more thought and effort put it here, I just hope it doesnt take 2 more years for the next update.

I have set this up I think correctly, but does it work with the AH64, I saw the coordinates I assigned in the map to Scratchpad being entered into KB in the Apache but didnt have a waypoints on the map display page. What am I missing ?? Cheers

Wait for the 2024 and beyond video, it will have more video of it to tease us for another years wait.

Is ii a know issue that you can see JTAC lasers in the day time, I can see a think black lack line extending from them to the smoke marker in the Sinai TTi we have on our servers, I tried to take a screen shot but the line didn't show up in an pics I take, I thought it may have been due to SSS as I had just enabled that but I turned it off and it was still showing.

Just got 2.9 installed, what has everyone settled on with the new settings in 2.9 for the Pimax Crystal. Cheers

Do we need a port open for voice chat on our serves Cheers

I don't think SRS is going to be retired anytime soon, ED new radio has a long way to go with our group before we return SRS. Sent from my TB350FU using Tapatalk

Great questions, interested to see the answers if you get them. Sent from my TB350FU using Tapatalk

Thanks for confirming that

Does anyone know if the proposed 19/20th Patch will be the 2.9 patch or another 2.8 interim update ??.

Id agree with you on those points for the 2.9 release we have maybe 2 major updates to go in November and December with id say a couple of minor patches to fix things that this October patch when it breaks some important stuff. We have had 1 major plane release this year the F15SE and what 2 terrains Normandy 2 and Sinai If we look at your F4 percentage, id also suggest for the rest of 2023 based on what was seen in the 2023 beyond video (I know it says beyond) Chinook 0% C130 0% Corsair 0% LA5 50% OH58D Kiowa 25% (im being generous here) Ground AI updates 0% Weather updates 0% New Radio 90% Lets hope its a nice stable beta release and adds so performance to those who can use DLSS.

I'm really really hoping we get some ground forces AI updates sooner rather than later, using any attack helicopters in DCS in any mission is getting pretty boring against the really bad ground AI, even the awesome Apache its become way to easy to kill them even with clever scripting, except for the sniper AK47 guy, he is a one man Rambo show

Do you have pics of it strapped to your leg ??

No issues with mine been using it since the first week of release even before DFR, its got the best clarity in DCS of all my VR headsets and the only one I use now, but im on a 4090 with a well oiled PC purley set up as a games machine.

An interesting update this morning DLSS will be nice,it will be nice to see the new 3d models finally in the game we have been shown for the last 1.5 years My question would be what are the ground troops going to do when we drop them off as in all the mission stuff is scripted. And with the state of CA in VR it's use will be limited for a lot. Will anybody bother driving a truck around the maps to do this with the ground AI in its current form, I'm curious to know what ED have planned for this feature. Sent from my TB350FU using Tapatalk

It would be nice for 2.9 to close out some of the longstanding AI model developments, SC updates which have been in the works as well for many years, some improvement to the ground war AI and animations wouldn't go a miss either now we have good attack helicopters in the game, also some core updates to gameplay would be most welcome.
