That did it. Thanks!

When I try to fly in VR, all the lighting seems blown out (including outdoors). Even in external view, it looks like terrain from a 20-year-old title. Then, eventually, everything goes dark with no lighting at all. Anyone else seeing this? (Tiny view because of VR --- you know how it is) null Things are still a little wonky until I exit DCS and reload. I've included a couple of screenshots from the F-15E by comparison (same mission, different slot) of how it is SUPPOSED to look. null

Yeah, I didn't even see the bar move above 0%. It would generate a "escort bombers" or "dogfight" mission (all air-to-air), but when I clicked "Save and Fly" It locked up forever. Marianas mission did much better. Still poor performance generating a mission with 5 aircraft in it, but at least "Save and Fly" worked.

The F-5E was abysmal in multiplayer for me (slide show), with a server with a lot of objects but no other players around. In Single-Player, it was only bad.

I came here looking to see if anyone else had the same problem with yesterday's patch and the remastered F-5E. My FPS issues in VR were far more dramatic. I went from smooth 45+ FPS on the ground (in an F-16) to something like 2-3 FPS. On our multiplayer server (which I think is a bit of a CPU hog as it is), I went from probably 24+ FPS to literally a frame every 5-10 seconds. I thought the game had locked up. I did not have this problem before yesterday's patch. However, I did clean my caches before running.

I have it, I love it, and I'm keeping it for as long as it stays flying. It's my favorite plane in DCS, and I'm annoyed over this, but I'm still hoping that they'll come to a reasonable resolution. The MiG-19 is another favorite, which is finished and works great, but I worry with every patch if *THIS* will be the patch that breaks the Farmer.

Okay, this is kinda weird. I use a Pimax 8KX, and I was amazed at how smoothly it was running over the middle of Cairo last night. Granted, I've tuned my system as well as I can for VR, and I was running the Multi-Threaded client. I thought it ran better than Marianas. Were you folks with VR issues running on the MT client? What are your shadow settings set to? (I am not at my home system, so I can't check...) I am running on a 6900XT, so about the equivalent performance of a 3080.

Can confirm - this is still an issue. The "\" default keyboard command works fine, but it's hard to find it in VR. It ignores my joystick button mapping.

Even worse than: any aircraft on the ground (or ocean) is practically indestructible, short of a 2000-lb bomb.

I took the gamble and bought it despite the warnings. At first blush, it looks like everything's fine once you purchase it. It's just a website glitch.

Same issue here. I assume it has something to do with the license check for having Normandy 1944 and the Channel both (I do),

Ditto. I was just looking to see if anyone else was encountering this problem. Likewise, I saw it in VR, haven't tested it in 2D. Looks like it's a legit issue. Hope they fix it soon.

It says available now in the trailer... do we have a release date for MAD 2?

Stuff to look forward to!

I was initially a little disappointed, but I could see its potential. Over the weekend I've flown in it a lot more, and even had a medium-sized multiplayer mission over the Falklands, and not only am I even more thrilled with its potential, but I'm happier with its current state. They clearly have a lot of work to do, and it's not ready for, say, building a commercial campaign in it yet. I'm seeing lots of ways to use the map for multiplayer missions with my squadron right now.
