What find a tad frustrating is that planes “In my particular setup “ seem to have auto camouflage. That is to say that against the blue sky, they appear as black dots initially then as they get closer, they take on their native colors. But, when they dive below, they start to “shimmer” and take on the coloring of the surface they are above. Probably due to the resolution of the index but I would rather see grey or black silhouette (still unrealistic) than a fully camouflage look. Maybe someday and may just be my rig.

Starts the chemtrail.......

Hey fellas. Anybody heard of this really cool flight sim DCS?

4 weeks ago people were offering their daughters virginity to play with the super carrier. Now that its out, here comes the “me too” crowd. For f@ck sake....

It was a problem for me for a couple days after I installed the Sc. Turned off Msaa and rebooted, turned back on and haven't seen it since. Whatever it was, was annoying as f@ck so I feel your pain. Not sure what fixed it but thank goodness its gone.

Last time I spawned on the SC it was kneeling out of the box. Maybe this is normal on a cold start?

I get that but since it has been reported ad nauseam that the beta version was killing VR systems, why did you just drop it on stable? Now neither currently works smoothly....

I would be interested in YOUR solutions....

Fits right in with the decor! (Of a 70’s snuff film!) Enjoy!

I will try. Not quite sure how to capture it. Essentially I load up on super carrier. Take off. Hit prep, cool, and master arm. Go hunting. Engage ai Bvr. And it works great. Get in close and switch to side winder, nada. Cant get it to shoot. Flip to guns and they work fine Really odd thing is they work fine in just dogfight server. Will try a few dif servers and variations of sidearms. Gotta be me if nobody else has an issue. Will also see if I can get a video. Thanks

Must be something I am doing as they fire in the Just Dogfight server? Can you load a “restricted weapon “ in a server so that’s why it wont Fire? ( happened again yesterday in MP). Can you have missile prep or cool on too long and damage something? Can’t for the life of me fire my sidewinders on the pve server’s. Thanks

Op, I don’t suppose once and forever you can explain to me who shot Kennedy could ya?

So I guess I will head back over to the crowded stable servers and fly happily at 30fps....

Granted there is a thing called stable and a thing called open beta. There is also a difference between a feature bug, and a playability problem. The issue in my mind is they keep adding “features” and their associated bugs to OB. A feature problem but I can always “go to Stable” right? No, because they just exported the “playability” bugs to stable. Yes they fixed a bunch of “feature” bugs but they introduced the FPS issues to stable. Now we have a choice of servers with players, wonky features and playability issues of OB or play by yourself, with fewer features that are less buggy at crap frame rates.. Not sure thats a win for anyone really...

The latest “stable”patch brought all the fps issues to the “stable” branch. So again, what exactly did they accomplish??

Well, I for one am not a kid and for the record, they just dumped the old “unstable beta” on the new “stable” branch. I’m not talking about the knit picky crap complaining, I’m talking about the fact that I was happily Skipping along at 45-50fps with really good visuals in Stable and if by chance I actually wanted to play with someone, was tolerable on OB. Now neither runs worth a crap and suddenly it’s because “MY” expectations are too high??? I realize we will never get the big servers back off OB but don’t dump a crappy code into Stable... Branch.......

Then maybe they need to choose again, this is really buggy! Exactly what did they catch???

I was perfectly fine with the old “stable version” ran great. I had OB on my system in case I wanted to actually play with somebody instead of just Ai. Due to external pressures or whatever, they just dumped the OB issue into “stable “ and screwed up both branches. Not sure I’ll leave, but certainly am finding other ways to kill time. Frankly tired of spending the first 30 min reconfiguring stuff only to get “dumped for an “idle connection” or pull in behind a bandit and not be able to get a missile off the rail. Oh, I also noticed that the F-14 starts on deck kneeling again...... really?

Had trouble again today where after firing BVR I close in and can’t get my aim 9 to fire. Master arm is on and missile cool Switches on. This is multi player off the super carrier. I believe today it was the inferno. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks

I would be interested. Let me know. Thanks

Interesting. EVERY time I launch a weapon I automatically go with it. Still trying to figure out whats going on. Same with views. Since update, I keep starting out with face smashed into dashboard of F-14. Next day off I’ll tweak again.....

Thanks! Is that under settings or controls options?

Right up until the last OB release, I was pleased with performance with system in signature. Latest patch screwed it for me. 30fps around any MP activity. Total waste of time currently so I’m dicking around in sp until the 3000 series or something gets done with VR performance. Yes I could probably get better performance if I dial back settings but I shouldn’t have to. Had 45-55 fps on high until last update. Stop making it worse please!!

Since the last OB update, when I fire the Sidewinder I am projected out Of the cockpit and follow my missile to the target. Im sure its a setting that got changed during the update. How do I default back to staying put when I fire? Thanks

The problem is it’s your wife driving the plane behind you. Mine constantly bangs up my cars...
