VF-103 RIO footage from our Wings Over Tbilisi demo

I tried OB 2.5.6 for the second time last night. I let my performance settings carry across to OB from release. I am so used to using previous open betas over release, prior to 2.5.5. I am sorry to say, the current OB is absolutely awful, and from my perspective, has gotten worse. FPS was awful even at the MP selection screen. There was a weird bounding issue after I maximise my screen to prevent the mouse cursor leaving the bounds on my monitor output, the mouse bounds stay at the VR screen size, so I cannot reach the options. VR was showing details such as the little wing streaks on the AV-8B only in one eye on my VR even when close (somewhere approximately between 5 and 25 m virtual separation). Clouds in the distance did the same, and only showed in one eye piece - as id one eye the distance is close enough to show the object, but the other eye being a cm back is not. I was on discord VOIP with at least 16 other people, most of whom also sounded frustrated. I have reverted back to release. If a version like this did make it to release without much improvement, I fear most of my friends and myself would have to give up on DCS.

Cool, I look forward to seeing your video. Please when you publish it, can you link it in the comments of the video I linked above so I can see your work when it's done?

I recorded most of the ground attack aircraft in DCS performing their bombing runs over Nevada. Everyone is friends with each other, so we have Russian and NATO aircraft sharing the same range :) All is Vanilla except the A-4

Don't know if this helps...

I am having same problems. I had not played it for years, and was to part 8 in Deployment. Some of the enemy units are now deep in trees and stuff. I have edited that mission slightly myself. I hope to continue today, and that it does not break integrity checks.

Thanks for that :doh:

Played a mission from Stennis, and my server crashed. I took Stennis out and it worked fine. Have not had a chance to look into logs etc, but I run my server on a hidden install on my wife's PC, and she went nuts at the time the crash happened, all her 20+ browsers windows went white and were frozen plus she lost lives her shitty click bait games lol (these have never caused any issues previoulsy). TF DCS was not in the list of running applications when I told her to go Task manager. I am guessing a memory leak, as DCS completely died?

The Blender IO_EDM was recently hooked and updated on GITHUB... https://github.com/madwax/Blender_ioEDM. I am using it to good effect. I am blogging my experiment to get a working model in DCS using Blender. It is taking much time but I am am getting ok results. Poly count may end up being stupidly high as the tool doesn't support "Complex translation of material layers, including specular, bump maps etc". An example of my model in DCS is here...

How do you link to your server by IP - by IP in URL to host page, or in game? @all, I am guessing I will need to change my server port from 10309 with the VOIP implementation?

You mean replaying the miz file? Trk files play the AI again IIRC, so PVP is best. Some aircraft replay perfectly for me, and some don't. FC3 aircraft, f16, L39c, and AV-8B all seem to work most of the time, landing on a boat is sometimes a problem. F14 and Ka-50 mess up nearly all of the time. A friend of mine claims that the f14 trk works as long as you let the replay of all Jester commands play through, then after that the view can be changed. A2G combat shots work as long as you don't hit a unit of a group, else other units in the group make a random spread, and any subsequent hits will miss as the target may move to a different place each replay, rather than what happened in the mission, and if you use AGM then it might not find lock, and maybe not fire, then your plane is out of balance for the rest of the trk, so it will play out different. A2A combat against AI 1v1 often works, but again ones in a group might be random there after, also the missiles in trk replay can be random, subsequent missiles might not fire.
