Yes, this is exactly what we've been experiencing? Do you maybe have a track of this mission?

Hmm, could be that it happens when I get TADS feed on my MFD. A point to test out, hopefully I manage to get it captured in a track

Last two nights, we had training and an mission flying in our group. What I noticed is all of us in Apaches are getting weird white flashes every now and then, looks like only at night. Both training and mission had a transition afternoon -> dusk -> night and the flashes started to happen after dusk. I was trying to reproduce it by just sitting in an Apache at the airfield (for about an hour) and hoping the flashing will start, but nothing... Maybe this will give few pointers? I mean, we were a 3-ship, one was fully crewed, other two were pilot only and all four humans saw the white flashes. I will try to run few more tests tomorrow, but I don't know what could be the common thing to try to trigger it. One guy flies in VR, other three were in pancake mode, all different resolutions and settings, so pinpointing will be difficult

What development? Few guys on discord decided for themselves that ED will lock the files behind a paywall just because they changed the format??? Even UFO conspiracy theories have a bit more backing than this.

For example, same thing happens in Sinai on the Nile. Looks like the render range for those kind of units is really small

It's to enable communications scrolling. It's now possible to scroll through the radio menu instead of using hotkeys

S-3B non-tanker is in-game. S-3B Tanker is still not. (new models I mean)

From the changelog... NEW: 3D Models. Newly created models for the B-1B, B-52H, S-3B (S-3B Tanker to follow shortly), “Centurion” C-RAM, and SA-10 (S-300PS).

Thank you very much

@Mainstay Is the track/mission file for your last set of testing one you posted earlier? I want to use it for test of some other instance where my group experienced flickering. We were however in Apaches during the night, and had white flickering, so I'd like to use your file as a test.

Physics/optical based approach doesn't work, as your monitor has a finite number of pixels to represent a point in space. You have to account for a screen resolution, otherwise you get system that was on before this update. When I set my resolution 1920x1080, I can easily spot aircraft in the VCCT bubble. Same environment but on 3440x1440 or 3840x2160 and I'm blind as a bat. Reason is, for the same point in space, 1080 resolution has 1 pixel, but 1440 or 2160 resolutions have 4 or 8 pixels, meaning the actual dot is rendered smaller. The result? The smaller resolution, the easier spotting. It really sucks that we all strive for better graphics, better fidelity, but to be able to see anything you basically have to run as smaller resolution to get any sensible spotting available. Transferring IRL spotting to a video game is not that simple, as in video games on a computer screen you generally see less far away than you would be able to see IRL and that needs accounting for

It's in the changelog, a known issue. Known Issues - Hotfix planned Objects moving at speed may begin to jitter after some time in mission

Is it too hard to read changelog? NEW: 3D Models. Newly created models for the B-1B, B-52H, S-3B (S-3B Tanker to follow shortly), “Centurion” C-RAM, and SA-10 (S-300PS).

It's a known issue, at the bottom of the changelog Known Issues - Hotfix planned Objects moving at speed may begin to jitter after some time in mission ...

Yes please, this is really a necessity rather than convenience

I'm loving what I see in the new Voice chat video. There is one request I'd like to make. As it's always here SRS is the thing we compare Voice chat to, and it has one thing I'd reeeeeally like to see in DCS and that's microphone passthrough. With it, my microphone input gets piped into the "passthrough audio device" (basically virtual audio cable which recording software like OBS can then use as input device) only when I press PTT in the cockpit and if I use that in video recording, it allows me to have an audio track without having to manually cut all the audio in between actual radio calls like I would have to if I only use my regular microphone. That is a really neat trick that I'm now used to on SRS and I believe I'm not the only one who uses this feature there who would love to see it in DCS natively.

Chill. The update is on Thursday, so no big deal.

Did you click on the player name before trying to click "Allow"?

This is a DCS wide problem, not related to any module

I don't see it listed, but do you maybe have some sort of "TrackIR" headtracking solution? What I've come to understand is that while "TrackIR" headtracking software is active, you cannot use mouse (after LALT+C) to pan around the cockpit. Only after disabling that software (TrackIR, Opentrack, FaceTrackNoIR, ...) the panning using the mouse work. It's been a while since I used VR, but maybe the same thing is happening while VR tracking is active?

Bumping for visibility. Is there a chance this gets another look as the issue is still present?

Yeah, even when using common ground and multiplexers/shift registers, you still have a lot of wires so I'd like to avoid that. I've been challenging myself to do a PCB for a while now, it's time I actually build one hahaha.

Yeah, when I get some time to do this, I'll definitely post a follow up here

Very nice, thanks a lot for sharing the files. I will try to build a PCB for this as I've already build a Harrier UFC and it's a frigging mess with the wires inside With some luck and free time, this could be a nice holiday season project

It's more of a disclaimer, not neccessarily related to this video. For instance, he did F-16 video a while a go, things got changed in the meantime but there wasn't updated video. I'm 99% sure this is the reason for this note. You can see it in recent Viper and Hornet videos too
