no matter what anyone thinks, this is NOT an ED issue. DNS is a basic Internet technology. you are given DNS usually via DHCP from your router. if the DNS sucks, then your connection will be a problem. Google DNS is a solution that a user can change without getting their ISP involved. ED sets a canonical (CNAME) for their servers to be round robin. if your ISP is giving you bad DNS, ED server will not connect. plain and simple. nothing they do about it. nslookup cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com Name: 1231349722.rsc.cdn77.org Addresses: 2a02:6ea0:e200::37 2a02:6ea0:e200::17 2a02:6ea0:e200::36 109.61.91.231 109.61.91.195 109.61.91.198 Aliases: cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com

it may be worth checking to see if you have exclusions in AV software for DCS program files and saved games.

i updated today at about 1350 EST and took about 22 minutes. i am in USA VA. by now it may be congested i suppose.

Do we still need a separate shortcut for Multi-threading?
silverdevil replied to The_Chugster's topic in DCS 2.9
i have noticed one slight difference between bin and bin-mt folders. the dcs_update.exe is now only in the bin folder. my dcs default shortcut "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" i suppose if one only runs the dcs.exe then no differences. -
hello. give this a try. browse to C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\config\ and rename options.lua to options.lua.BAK then restart DCS.

General Mouse pan binding to Joystick not possible, just mouse
silverdevil replied to void68's topic in General Bugs
thanks max. i did not realize you are 2D player like me. @void68 i have another solution for you. get a mouse tray and a second mouse. the tray would go in between your legs and controllers. that way you can use your left hand to move the camera. that is my setup. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0834Y4SY3 after all you should always have your hand on the joystick. -
laxxor. you are correct. i do not have P-47 to check. but either side of the AC you look at, the bort numbers should be read from left to right. if you are seeing it backwards, then it is indeed a bug. inane one too. sometimes the bugs that arise just make me SMH.

i read this article the other day. nvidia is prepared this time for the scalpers. the shortcomings will eventually be corrected. TL;DR: NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card faces high demand but limited stock. To address this, NVIDIA is using excess TSMC yields to produce more RTX 50 series GPUs. The supply of RTX 5090 is expected to increase significantly, impacting scalpers. Upcoming releases include RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, and RTX 5060.

General Mouse pan binding to Joystick not possible, just mouse
silverdevil replied to void68's topic in General Bugs
i am going to ping one of the other long time forum users. i believe he uses VR and may have an answer. @MAXsenna do you have any ideas about this? thanks man. -
tracks become more unreliable as duration increases. can you make a track as short as possible and see what happens? like make a mission that you are final straight on approach to carrier? btw the tracks have been relatively hosed for a long time.

hello. another lengthy post about this issue. already reported.
-
i can assure you that doing none of the "magical actions" you mention, you will not correct anything. there are many people that had these issues and corrected them. there are many users that have these issues and still have them. and then there are many users like me that never had the issues. at some point you have to yield and realize that the problem could be somewhere within a radius of a meter of your computer. start a new topic and include all the logs you can get. replying to a thread that already has a solution is not helping your cause either.

unfortunately this is a common issue. here is one (of many) similar topics

LOL. from me Madame Flappi, votre mari est un génie!

hello. this will be a tough one. i definitely can see the change when you look up and then down. i see this sometimes, and not always. i have not figured out what the issue is. it does eventually just work itself out. i have a 3090. i am only guess that dcs is trying to replicate how things look with long shadows in morning and evening. and the effect is not quite perfected. i honestly do not know. i am pinging @Flappie because he has a better memory than me.

do you own supercarrier and are you using it as the carrier in your mission?

DCS Updater can't update itself 12/15/2024
silverdevil replied to kiss4luna's topic in Installation Problems
interesting. you do realize that at some point the resolution of the CDN host name will change and the hosts will not work? currently it is not an A record but rather a canonical (CNAME). you could also try changing the DNS that your computer uses. unfortunately, your fix will turn out to be sloppy. > cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com Server: G3100.myfiosgateway.com Address: 192.168.1.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: 1231349722.rsc.cdn77.org Addresses: 2a02:6ea0:e200::17 2a02:6ea0:e200::36 2a02:6ea0:e200::37 109.61.91.195 109.61.91.197 109.61.91.230 Aliases: cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com you can see how a CNAME resolves in DNS in my above example. but hey if it works, go for it. i have been a sysadmin since 1989 before the internet even existed to widespread use. i had to teach myself all this weirdness. -
General Mouse pan binding to Joystick not possible, just mouse
silverdevil replied to void68's topic in General Bugs
wie gehts. i looked at my settings. it seems i have the same problem. maybe this will help. its with keyboard though. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3320507/ i do know that some users use hats on controllers. i personally use TrackIR which allows one to look around. i am unsure how to get around this issue. entschuldigung sie. null -

roger. understood. i should also ask for what plane(s). however, sounds like a general setting. -
General Mouse pan binding to Joystick not possible, just mouse
silverdevil replied to void68's topic in General Bugs
probably a dumb question. just in case here it goes. you are trying under axis right? can you screen shot the whole screen while in those settings? -
DCS Updater can't update itself 12/15/2024
silverdevil replied to kiss4luna's topic in Installation Problems
unbeknown to me yesterday, there was an update. i had no issues like usual. the updater also updated itself during the initial process. it is now 2.17.3.11. you can check the properties of the updater in DCS install folder. put in a ticket to ED at https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ then pick support, user support from top menu. -
i do not see it mentioned to test your hardware. i suggest to strip as much external hardware from your rig as possible to see if a component is causing the issue. reattach them one by one to see if the issue comes back. if you cannot get through a mission without a crash, then it is something deeper. if so, test memory. i always suggest taking out the dimms and reseat them. maybe they are just a little loose now. also move them to opposite slots. and take half of them out. see if a specific dimm is bad. another idea is to run chkdsk. lastly remove any overclocking from ram and gfx. even factory overclock. if windows is 'killing' the dcs process, there is likely a hardware issue. oh and this was an issue with some other users. check your power supply. even to the point of plugging directly to wall socket. @Flappie and @MAXsenna will remember this fun one. keep at it. we will figure this out.

you are a volunteer to add your own exceptions. thank you for your service /s
