Hi all, First of all, congratulations to RAZBAM for releasing their first module for DCS World! I'm still on the fence, debating whether I should purchase the Mirage or not. I'll shell out the full price if I know the true current state of this bird. What are your overall thoughts on the following: * Current Flight Model * Completeness of the module (systems, weapon deployment, avionics) * Mission selection (Instant Action / Campaign) Will wait for some reviews on the forums of course, but if you can compare this Beta release to other previous releases, how would you compare it? I have the F86 and Mig15 and even though they had several updates, the initial Beta was good (in my opinion). Documentation is not critical for me at this point. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the info

I'm still waiting for the downloads to finish (started over 24 hours ago) so I can't test this amazing map and 2.0 myself. Since the Red Flag campaigns are not out yet, I wanted to know what kind of content (if any) is there in the base 2.0 install? The Caucasus map is not compatible with 2.0 so I assume all the missions there are not available. Are there any single player missions for any aircraft? Or it's basically scenery flying? Do we have a quick mission generator for NTTR? Thanks in advance.

This :thumbup:

There is a thread about it in the wish list. But the short answer is no. Nothing official from ED or a third party developer.

Went through the process of deleting three more .dll files that DCS.exe complained about. Repaired again and managed to run the sim, only to briefly see the DCS logo on screen, which disappeared after a second. No error message and no DCS process either. Time for a reinstall of the beta...

Thanks, deleting the weather.dll file and running a repair did fix the error but created a new exact one, this time for GraphicsXP.dll I guess I'll have to reinstall. Thanks for the help

AVG Free. Never had any issues before. A fresh install of DCS is the only option?

My Logs are attached as well as the error message in a screenshot. Thank you. dcs.zip

Hi All, Tried to run DCS today and as soon as I run the exe I get an error stating that DCS World OpenBeta\bin\weather.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error... I tried to run a repair but it doesn't solve it. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks,

Thanks for the help guys. Another thing that have changed, is the actual quick mission generator. When I generate a mission the map doesn't display any airbases, it's basically a colored topology map. In 1.2.16 there was a "layer" on top that showed where the airbases are and also a blue icon which indicated the aircraft location, it's not there in 1.5, so it's hard to tell if the airbase is "friendly" or not. I was also under the impression that the mission generator will always place your aircraft at a friendly base once you click the generate button.

When I create a quick mission and choose to start from the ramp, I can't seem to enable ground power. I request it from the menu but there is no reply. I tried with both radio assist on and off but no change. I also know that it's important to select an airfield that is under "blue" control, and in this case I just leave the default location that was generated. Anyone else experiencing this in 1.5? In any other mission (stock at least) ground power request works fine, it's only happening in quick missions that I generate. Thanks,

I am not a software developer, but I don't agree that keeping smoke in the air for a longer period of time would be a performance hog, especially now that we have EDGE. Even in 1.2.x you can already see a lot of planes in high altitude with contrails with no impact on FPS. Heck, you can even turn on smoke for most planes in multi (aerobatics) which is thick and stays longer, and again, no performance hit.

I would vote for that as well, smoke must stay in the air for much, much longer. It would add so much to the immersion.

I agree, the scaling is a great option, but we need an even larger option. The Enlarged one is just not enough.

I have a GTX770 with 4GB of RAM. Same thing, I just turned DoF off, it kills the FPS when you look at any outside view.

Downloading as well. Thank you ED for your commitment and dedication!

Fantastic, thanks for the opportunity!

Couldn't find a formal answer - Does anyone know if the new scaling options are dynamic? So the farther away an object is, the "bigger" it appears and as you move closer it retains its "standard/original" size?

If I remember correctly then the L-39 will only work with 1.5 as a "minimum" version.

Fantastic news indeed!! Thank you to everyone involved with this huge effort. Looking forward to the release...

We will know the release is imminent when we see a change log. It should come first...

Nothing official, but IIRC Matt said that video updates will be given only every other week and we had one last Sunday, so no video update today.

At the end of the day, most people run the 1.2.x "official" version in parallel to the 1.2.x Beta. If ED releases 1.5 now and it's extremely "broken" I don't think people will leave DCS because of that. People can still run 1.2.x With that said, I hope ED will still deliver in September

Would be extremely interesting to see the list of fixes and improvements, hopefully we will see individual beta module fixes as well with the release of 1.5
