It looks fixed to me (on Vega 64), at least I haven't been able to provoke any flickering after the update so far. Thanks ED! Looks like I have one of the 'some' (Black screen flickering on the some video cards fixed.)

It's gotten way better for me with the fps, thank you ED! Now I'm seeing the spikes someone else reported...

It's in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Textures\f18c_cpt-tex05.dds at the bottom (middle), you see the go/no go and BIT Edit: didn't see the edit...

Der Offline-Modus kann nur aktiviert werden, während man online ist, ansonsten gilt der countdown. Als mein Router kaputt ging, habe ich in der Tat das Smartphone als WLAN AP eingerichtet, DCS (2.5) einloggen lassen und den Offline-Modus aktiviert. Danach konnte ich DCS auch offline ohne countdown nutzen.

Then maybe post in the other thread, too, so everything is in one place.

Probably the easiest way to do it: 1. download the mod in the first post of the thread I quoted and extract it 2. Put the description.lua e.g. in SavedGames/DCS/Liveries/Cockpit_F-18C/ClearHUD/ 3. Decide which textures to use - the ones supplied with the mod or the ones you're using now 4. Put those in the same folder where the lua is 5. If your textures have different names from the ones supplied either rename the textures or modify the description.lua according to your texture names, e.g. {"f18c_cpt-hudl", 14, "f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_dif", false}; --> {"f18c_cpt-hudl", 14, "yourtexture_dif", false}; {"f18c_cpt-glass_hud_edge", 0, "f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_hud", false}; --> {"f18c_cpt-glass_hud_edge", 0, "yourtexture_hud", false}; {"f18c_cpt-glass_full", 14, "f18c_cpt-glass_dif", false}; --> {"f18c_cpt-glass_full", 14, "yourtexture_dif", false}; (Your textures will probably have the _dif and _hud at the end already) If you call the folder 'default' you won't be able to pick a customized cockpit in the Settings/Special tab of the F/A-18C but it will work by default - if you choose a different name for the folder like 'ClearHUD/' then choose it as a customized cockpit in the Settings/Special tab.

When you use a description.lua and have the HUD mod in saved games, IC is passed. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3557232&postcount=9

Was your SA Page on? Does that make a difference for you? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235885

I also see a large drop in FPS when using the SA page not only in MP but also in SP - it seems to depend on the amount of units to render. Track and example mission with lots of SAMs attached.

Default spec for the flat/matte skins and VIP/AirAm, custom specs for the ones I want shiny. However, as stated before, I just delete most of the ab-212.lods.json as I find most values utterly useless and they introduce bugs.

I just tested on MP (Havoc) and still have the problem with re-armed M134 (no shot) and M60 (single shot).

My throttle 5-way hat switch in the 'up' position and also the CMS on the stick in the 'right' position were intermittently faulty/jumpy. In both cases it was shoddy soldering/defective wiring inside the switch housings and luckily I got those resoldered so that they work well now. The switches inside the housing were fine. I'm only somewhat amateurish with a soldering iron and it took a bit of tinkering so YMMV should you want to go that route (and also, you mentioned the warranty is gone already)...

I find it funny to see it randomly in videos on YouTube (in this one, in the first two minutes at 00:33 and from 01:23).

True, the last two lines in Automan's description.lua are also in the original description.lua (unfortunately, only those two, not the rest), so it's always worth checking there as it might be something important and keep it in.

I see, so you copied all textures from the \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\SpitfireLFMkIX\Cockpit\Textures\Cockpit_Spitfire_LFMkIX_Textures.zip to the saved games folder? The nice thing with the description.lua is - you don't need to. The only things you need in that folder are 1. the description.lua 2. the replacement textures (in your case the five you listed from the Spitfire cockpit refurb) You then comment out every line in the description.lua *not* referring to the refurb textures and you should be done. I would only comment out and not delete those lines in case you need them later on should you want to try other mods.

Not an awful lot of information to go by, so forgive me for asking some questions: 1. Which textures are you trying to use? 2. Where do you keep those textures? Easiest way is to keep them in the same Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\Cockpit_Spitfire_LFMkIX\default folder where the description.lua is located. 3. Are they someplace else? Then you need to tell the description.lua where to find them, if you don't, you get 'missing textures'. 4. Have you commented out all the lines in the description.lua for textures you did not replace? Otherwise, also 'missing textures' for those. Those are some Qs I can think of right now.

But there are some tweaks floating around already which would otherwise trip IC. E.g. I'm using the Spitfire gauges and cockpit refurb mods by NAKE350 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=224765 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=228393 The reflections mod by Toby23 (tint has been fixed by now) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=216210 and a 'strange sun' workaround that was made by Esac_mirmidon until fixed officially https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3710266&postcount=13 All (or at least some) of those used to trip IC, with this they don't. I'm also using your very own reticle mod https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=229184 which isn't covered by the description.lua but doesn't trip IC in the first place.

Good to see that you got it somewhat working! The second test was to see if the textures work at all; as it works for you now with 'default', that test can be disregarded. Hopefully, you'll get it working completely with stand-alone eventually!

That sounds very disappointing...

To clarify the second test: in FC3, the textures are at \Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Textures in MIG-29-13-CPT-TEXTURES.zip. Your folder structure will differ, eg Mods\aircraft\Mig-29\Cockpit\Textures. You would then create a folder called MIG-29-13-CPT-TEXTURES in \Textures and copy the mod textures there. Does it work then? While you're there: does the zip have the same name as mine? Do the textures in that zip have the same names as the mod textures?

As a test: what happens if you put the mod (as a test only for the MiG-29S) in the saved games folder but as Cockpit_MiG-29S/default, not Cockpit_MiG-29S/English? With description.lua. Also, as a second test, what happens if you put the mod textures in a folder as a replacement for the original textures? Here, you don't need the description.lua. Just to see if it works, it will probably trip your IC so it's nothing you'd want in the long run with multiplayer.

Just try and find a similar folder (Mods\aircraft\Mig-29\Liveries\Cockpit_MiG-29S or similar) in your DCS on D:\

I'm using FC3, so maybe it does make a difference... The original cockpits in FC3 are in \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Liveries\Cockpit_MiG-29S\default (and ...-29A\... ...-29G\...) Where are they with the stand-alone versions?
