PMed Nineline and he said they will look into it! :)

Thank you for your response. What can we do to make ED aware of this issue? They've yet to respond to any post on the subject.

To whoever keeps moving this post into a different forum where it will once again be ignored, is this what you call customer service? Can you or someone from ED at least respond to us instead of turfing this issue elsewhere to be ignored?!! This is the second time you guys have done this... get it together!

I also don't get why the wake was so drastically changed. There is no real life comparison to the current wake ED is using. Even more puzzling is why, after 2 months, nobody from ED is responding to posts on the issue. We are loyal, paying customers. Why are we being ignored?!

I completely believe you about getting hit with spray on deck. In DCS currently, spray from the Stennis' bow is actually passing THROUGH the deck plating as it is moving upward. Hope that never happened to you IRL :D

Ha! Well said. Posted my issue again in the main Hornet forum. Hopefully I'll generate a... buzz... this time. Definitely not gonna... bee... quiet on this one... Just hope I don't get... stung...:megalol:

Non-VR Flying Case I With Post 8/29/18 Ships Wake Update Issues https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=219068 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3636644&postcount=1 The above links say it all. It's been over 2 months without a single response from ED. Ships wake IRL and current ships wake in DCS just do not compare. Lost a major frame of reference when turning into the groove. Plus, at 30kts, water from the bow actually splashes through the Stennis' deck! How has this gone unnoticed/unacknowledged for so long?! If you're detecting frustration, it's because I've posted about this issue here before and, instead of getting a response from a mod/dev, the post is immediately relocated and ignored. I'm a loyal, paying customer who is, present issue excluded, completely impressed with this simulator, and the F-18C especially, but this completely unrealistic ships wake is almost as annoying as the fact that I can't seem to get anyone with the power to fix this issue to acknowledge it, let alone to respond to me. If someone who can fix this problem please address this issue in a timely manner, I can assure you that you will have made at least one loyal, paying DCS customer very happy. Thank you for doing the right thing by addressing your customers' concerns and making them feel valued.

Gonna toss another 2 cents into this heap and say nope. No one cares. I'm curious, if I had a YouTube channel with followers, then would somebody with the ability to fix things actually respond to me? Forget actually acknowledging that there's a problem... just a freaking response?? Yikes...

Thanks Mustang. It's been 2 months without so much as even a fart in this general direction from ED regarding this issue. Guess I need to be a YouTuber with a large following to actually get a response from someone who can fix a problem...

Since we're all complaining here, I'll contribute my 2 cents by wondering... does anyone know what the heck is going on with the ships wake since the 8/29 update? At 30kts, water will splash from the bow and pass through the carrier deck, and the wake behind the ship is nonexistent compared to what it looked like pre-8/29. I, and others, have posted about this in the appropriate areas, only to be completely ignored by mods/devs, so I have to ask... after 2 months... does anyone even care?

Of all the single player missions I've flown in DCS, this one is my favorite BY FAR! Looking forward to flying the update! Thanks Sedlo!!!

Interesting. I didn't realize there would be such a big difference in VR vs. non-VR users. Glad to hear that it's better for you. I'm curious, do you have issues with unrealistic water height/water splashing through the carrier deck as the ship's bow breaks through the water at ~30kts? That issue, and wake issues for non-VR users has yet to be even acknowledged by a mod or a dev after one month and 3 threads on the subject. I get that they're busy, but at least having one of them post here acknowledging that there is an issue and that it will be fixed eventually would be greatly appreciated. Here's the first post from the original thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3609743&postcount=1

Before the 8/29 open beta update, the CVN's wake was clearly visible and I was able to use that as a reference when making my base turn towards the carrier. After the 8/29 update, the CVN's wake is practically non-existent and my Case-I landings have suffered ever since. Has anyone else been frustrated with this new ships' wake as I have been? P.S. At a speed of ~30kts, water will splash through the CVN's deck, and is unrealistically high as the bow breaks through the water. I've been trying to make a mod/dev aware of this issue for the last month now, but I have yet to see a response from either on relevant threads.

There is a thread with a title identical to this one in DCS World 2.5 >> Bugs and Problems >> Object Errors detailing multiple issues with ships' wake since the 8/29/18 open beta update. The reason I am posting this here in the main DCS World 2.5 section is because the previously mentioned thread has not gotten any attention from a mod or a dev, and multiple DCS customers, including myself, are still experiencing these issues. If a mod or a dev could address these issues at their earliest possible convenience, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for all that you guys do. Edit: It appears this post has been moved by a mod back to the Objects and Errors section. Hopefully said mod and the devs will now be aware of this issue and update us on the progress of a fix. Please see the original thread by raelias (a few threads below this one with an identical title) who first identified this issue and posted pics detailing the problem.

Is there some way we can make this thread visible to a mod or a dev?

Coming up on 3 weeks and a few updates later and this problem has yet to be addressed. It doesn't seem like anyone who is able to fix this problem is aware of this thread. Is there any way we can get a mod/dev to see this?

Programming noob question: What would happen if you set the tanker option to "true" in the FA-18C comm.lua? Would your AI wingman hit the tanker and refuel when you command him to in the "Go to" comms menu?

PG and NTTR are up and running for me now! I did PG first, closed out of DCS, then re-opened and successfully ran NTTR. Both logs are attached. Thank you for solving this problem! Would I be correct in assuming that this fix will be worked into future open beta updates, and that the user will not have to do do more than to just run the DCS updater? Also, will this have any affect on updates of the stable version? Thanks again! dcs_nttr.txt dcs_pg1.txt

Agreed. There are multiple serious issues that have been reported in a number of threads. With PG and NTTR completely not working for myself and others, and multiple ME crashes when loading Caucasus, open beta is almost unusable. That said, I'm sure there's a ton of work to be done, I know there's a process to getting it done, and the ED team has yet to fail us. Plus, the stable version continues to be flawless. Hope we get more updates soon regarding the issues that need to be fixed! :)

Same here. What was even more surprising was that today's hotfix didn't correct the ship's wake/water shooting through the deck issues that people have also been experiencing. That issue is posted in another thread. Guess there's just a ton of work for the ED team to do, and it is the beta version after all. These things can and will happen from time to time. I'm sure this will all get worked out! :)

I just implemented the hotfix, and no joy. Same issues as before with the 8/29 update. Attached files are from each of the 2 attempts made to run DCS since installing the hotfix. Houston, we have a problem... dcs.log-20180831-175745.zip dcs2.txt

You were able to update your open beta to version 2.5.3.21107? The hotfix is still unavailable for download as of 1:14pm EDT. (U.S. East Coast)

Ditto. I'm showing the updated changelog as of 11:59am EDT. I'm hoping the ME notes in the post have to do with the problem we've been dealing with.

The Open Beta Hotfix update to version 2.5.3.21107 was just posted to the DCS World 2.5 Changelog and Updates of Open Beta 30 minutes ago at the time of this post. However, every time I go to update my DCS open beta, it keeps saying that version 2.5.3.21016 is up to date. Does it usually take some time after the Devs post the new changelog for users to be able to access the update?
