Bagpipe

I would like to +1 the above. Unbelieveable that i didnt know about this. I guss with everyone always talking about how dcs doesnt ahve a good dynamic campaign i never bothered to look. It's not the be all and end all but its seriously impressive given the tools available and i am having alot of fun conquering the caucasus right now. Next step, PG! Thank You

Interesting

Hey Cobra, thanks for the reply to the thread. Looking forward to seeing the update this year. :joystick:

Could this be anything to do with magvar? Is there a way to account for this in the viggen? stab in the dark

Guys, no matter what i do i cannot control external view angle with headtrack anymore. I have tried several headtrack programs aswell as deleting and repairing and files and folders related to views. The option for this is checked (also tried unchecked cos...ya never know) Any ideas how to get this working again? :huh:

Yeah so... opentrack issue for sure. Got old version of trackhat opentrack to work. Got to set up everything AGAIN but we are back in business. RESOLVED

Upon furhter investigation this issue seems to be with opentrack. I can fire up the server and start the aircraft fine with opentrack off, but with it on i see the red (OT active) light on my eyecam momentarily switch off and everything freezes and DCS crashes. Have uninstalled OT and downloaded latest version but still having the issue all of a sudden

Any ideas?

Yes, also experiencing this. Bit pants really

Hey, deleted aircraft folder and ran a repair to reinstall it. Seems to have done the trick while keeping keybinds intact. Thanks for replies QuiGon

Yep, all present and accounted for. In the track i attempt it in nav mode and anf and show the results on screen. Its really weird as i have been using the thing for months with no probs and now this. Maybe their is a corrupted file in the viggen folder i can delete and run a repair on?

Noticed it in Caucasus tonight when flying at tree line in the Viggen. A line draws 200m or so ahead of you as if the textures are being filtered as you progress through the scenery. Seems fairly recent to me that this has begun, maybe only three updates previous from memory. I can only hope the visual pain is worth it in the end as it usually is with this lot lets be honest

Not to mention the glaringly obvious visual problems when the aircraft loses wings which has still to be fixed. Sorry, but if a module has an exhaustive list of issues then it is in no way near completion in my book and if somebody sells me a product with a written statement of intent to improve during the course of its lifetime i would expect them to come through on their word. Or am i expecting WAY too much?? The lack of replying to bug reports from Heatblur i feel is cause for serious concern and i would expect ED to address this with the 3rd party developer as ultimately it is affecting them

Guys, please see the attached track. I literally used the RB's earleir today but for some reason when i load in now the EP13 sight looks like it is permanently locked on to nothing. Correct me if i am wrong and please tell me i am doing something stupid that needs fixing. N.B. when you see the contrast etc. changing that is when i am spamming my t0,t1,tv fix buttons and moving the radar stick around etc but nothing happens and crosshairs appear locked.

When flying Normandy i can literally see the line as the terrain is rendering when below a certain altitude. It completely destroys any immersion. Not sure if it is related to work on VR optimizing but it needs a good seeing to.

Hi folks, apologies if this has already been asked/answered (please share a link if so) but could we get an up to date list of upcoming fixes/improvements to the Viggen? My main concerns are the lack of pilot model and the mirrors. Seems the mirrors have become even worse recently though i have just upgraded to a larger 1440p monitor so may just be noticing the blocks more. I believe it could use a bit of optimization here and there too as it seems awfully FPS intensive for what it is. I mean the DCS Hornet uses less juice than this thing. I really want to buy the Tomcat but until i see the Viggen at the correct stage i am reluctant to put my hand in my pocket.

Thank you again

They could just expand the current Caucasus map to the EMC to incorporate Turkey etc in detail. Combining both regions together would make for some eye-wateringly good scenarios

Interesting little module. Take off and landing is good fun. Exploding randomly on runway during taxi is also fun :lol::thumbup: Poo poo aside, textures are beautiful and couldn't ask for more from a free mod, looking forward to seeing this progress. Will come in handy with the Malvinas map from RAZBAM. Would be awesome once the bugs are ironed out if you added a CD/FD model variant with full digital cockpit. You know...when you're not busy :music_whistling:

Hey man, Nvidia just updated drivers which has caused me alot of faffing with my 2070 super. Could be GPU driver issues. Mess about with fxaa, AF, MSAA and SSAA and see if you can claw it back maybe?

FYI folks, was about to upload a video link showing terrible Z-Fighting (blocky textures) while demanding a resolution from ED for the appauling mess they had made of my Hornet :music_whistling: Turns out 16x Antistropic + 4x MSAA in MANY GAMES causes this to happen. Dropped AF to 8x, kept MSAA at 4x and lifted SSAA to x1.5 and this has resolved the issue. May even have been the reason for my flickering clouds too (to be confirmed). Just bear this in mind if you come across anything like this. I was almost RMA'ing my new GPU :megalol: EDIT: nope hasnt fixed the clouds flickering in certain situations

Hey, so just ran another few tests and this seems to be a specific campaign bug. I have reported to developer and asked for their input.

They're back! Seems to be at a certain cloud density now appearing from below and above. Its like a rave up there! Very noticeable on BD's Mig19 campaign due to very atmospheric levels of cloud. Getting pretty frustrating and any google search only shows up posts from 2015 etc with no fixes reported apart from updates

Hey that's done it by the way! Thanks! Remembered reading about doing this after updates a while back too so feeling not so clever now! :(:music_whistling: Deleted the wrong fxo and metashaders (the ones in main folder not saved games0 but repaired it and all good again EDIT: That hasn't done it as it happens. It appears to be when density of clouds is higher that they begin to flicker, now seeing it from below also. WIll toy with GPU settings and see if i can stop it that way

Issues only appeared after last update which seems to have broken a few things for me.
