Hello, I believe this is a very important thing, and might be a very simple to realize. It would be extremely helpful and would reduce pain of creating mission, if there would be a way to filter units in the dropdown list , either by their Tech-Pack like WWII assets (or more in future), or by "years of invention" maybe grouped into decades. This would help in so many ways. For designing WWII-Missions as well as designing none-WW2, and in case of the decades, designing scenarious of other time frames. Thanks for reading, and hopefully considering. Regards PS: For all who have suggested this many times. Liks this one, or push your own back to top! Edit: Put tech pack in title into brackets.

Please ED, this might be a very low hanging fruit.

I am fully aware of that. And my proposal and initial post was not about to ask ED to answer to everything. Not at all. -> My suggestion was to take load away from ED and instead, move an important part of the work back to the community. Subsequently, having this primary work done, ED can more easily see what's important for the community. And the people suggesting things, too!! That would be motivating even more. And, just a guess, it would reduce the amount of multiple equal wishes. And then it would be nice, when the best ideas get some official Feedback from ED. Maybe the title wasn't well chosen.

Hello everyone, This is basically a much more general wish to ED. But also I am asking community about this idea. Maybe I am totally wrong with it, or I was just making very unpopular contributions so far. I am missing (more) feedback from ED to the wishes. My feeling about ideas, is, that I have no feeling at all. There are many good ideas out there, and I don't see, whether they have been taken into account, or have even been seen at all. Example: Mission Editor wishes. You have to navigate to page 4, to see the first "labeled" wish, and it's "not planned". All other remain "untouched"? I am aware of the fact, that there are way to many to ideas, and they are varying enormously in complexity, to rank all of them. However, at DCS World I see a much more contructive community than in other games. I believe there are technical ways to let all these clever people do some of this ranking in first place. No matter how you implement it technically (forum or something else), I like the idea that every one who makes a (well describred) wish, has to rank at least 5 other wishes. Doing so, this would lead to a good pre-filtering and finding popular ones, so that ED-guys wouln't have to go through all of them. Regards Limaro

All in title. I guess this is not new at all. but this would be unbelivably helpful.

Since some days I cannot reproduce it. maybe some driver issue from AMD or very bad mood of my system that day. Even when switching between applications with Alt+Tab it's not appreaing again. @jonsky7If it happens again, I will try your layout and see if the offset will become horizontal.

I have a Track. It happens always after exactly 40 sec when communication with ATC starts. Track attached. @silverdevilcan you verify that it happens with your PC, too? BLACK_SQUARE_2.trk EDIT: Corrected Time to 40sec

What are cubesim? Technically they are just three simple screens of 1280*800 connected via HDMI.

Yes, this is exactly what I've had. Ok then, it can be marked as known issue

Yes this sounds like mine, it was on sunrise. @silverdevilI can't open your link, it's done YouTube studio link

No I believe this is something different. Mine was not flickering. It was an apearing but steady square. It was quite stable, until looking into it to get everything black or looking away to get rid of it.

Sure. Yesterday it did not happen for one session again. However two days ago I could restart as often as I wanted, it always was like this. maybe it's over or it was some driver thing from AMD?. 2Camera+RMFCD .lua

Since the last update, I have an issue of pointing the mouse. My monitor setup is as shown in the attached sketch. In game now, my mouse does point somewhere, but the effect is done at another position, higher. At the very top it looks like hitting quite well, the lower it gets in the screen, the more inaccurate it gets (second scetch). On disconfigurating the multi monitor, everything works fine again. nullIn Prior Versions, this only happend sometimes, when switching to other application with Alt+Tab. But now, arround 2 seconds after switching back to DCS this effect "starts". Immediately after switching to DCS, it works fine. --- Windows 10 Pro 21H2 Adrenalin 22.11.2

Flying F18, I had many times a large black square appearing in my field of view. It had no fixed position. When moving my head out of the view, it disappears. but when looking into it, everything becomes black. I then had to switch to F2 view, and back to get rid of it. By looking to it, initially, I'd say it had the size of my screen resolution. Two screenshots and logs attached. dcs.log

Update for 2.8.1: Still the same performance drop compared to 2.7.18 Example Beitut 2 -Click from first post: 2.7.18: 74.9 FPS 2.8.0: 65.8 FPS 2.8.1: 66.4 FPS

have nothing setted up to something special. Driver is Adrenalin 22.10.2

Yes, the same. thanks for linking

I've made some more tests and also compared some modules and many maps, but the results show all the same. Only Channel and Nevada are less affected. All Runs were about 80seconds long. Full data attached, here a overview of average data: Caucasus 2.7.18: 106.7 FPS Caucasus 2.8.00: 90.0 FPS -15.6% Marianas 2.7.18: 74.7 FPS Marianas 2.8.00: 64.6 FPS -13.5% Nevada: 2.7.18: 103.1 FPS Nevata: 2.8.00: 96.7 FPS -6,2% Persian Golf: 2.7.18: 108.8 FPS Persian Golf: 2.8.00: 91.5 FPS -16.2% Channel: 2.7.18: 91.4 FPS Channel: 2.8.00: 83.6 FPS -8,5% As a side-node: I believe this is the same thing as discussed in here: And It feels like the same flat-rate performance loss we had last year. I just hope, that we must not wait three patches again. @Flappie I count on you again to reproduce this and forwarding it to the dev-Team Benchmark.txt Performance_Fly_7_Caucasus.trk Performance_Fly_7_Channel.trk Performance_Fly_7_Marianas.trk Performance_Fly_7_Nevada.trk Performance_Fly_7_PersGolf.trk

Hello, I have this strange crashes again since 2.8. Before I see the desktop, it looks like all elements of the map start flickering once. and after two runs, crash to Desktop. attached the logfile. dcs.log

Hi, I want to report a general decrease of framerate by about 13%. This might be to the new cloud and lighting effects, however I think It might be useful to let you know this. Since the 2.7.6 to 2.7.7 - Performance-Loss Bug I have a small replay I regularly check before updates. These are now the differences: 2.7.18 27-10-2022, 16:05:09 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 8549 frames rendered in 101.203 s Average framerate : 84.4 FPS Minimum framerate : 56.9 FPS Maximum framerate : 109.9 FPS 1% low framerate : 58.7 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 33.7 FPS 2.8.0 30-10-2022, 20:50:31 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 7452 frames rendered in 101.015 s Average framerate : 73.7 FPS Minimum framerate : 51.4 FPS Maximum framerate : 92.6 FPS 1% low framerate : 52.8 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 47.7 FPS My PC in short: Ryzen 7 3700X, AMD 6900XT (Adrenalin 22.10.2), 64GB RAM, Windows 10 21H2 Unfortunately, I can only share a actual 2.8 log file (attached). Currently I try to make space on my drive, to update the stable and -counterverify the original numbers. I will post the log for this later. What I've done so far: - Delete fxo - Delete metashader2 - Removed Scripts-Folder As soon as the stable is ready I'll try diffent settings to compare the impacts. But meanwhile, if someone has valuable suggestions, I am open for tipps. EDIT: I finally could find some place for the stable and installed it. I've created two more flight, one in very bad weather, the other without. Also changed the modules. But the results are very compareable. 30-10-2022, 22:11:55 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 5598 frames rendered in 74.672 s 2.7.18 Beirut_4_2 Average framerate : 74.9 FPS Minimum framerate : 56.6 FPS Maximum framerate : 99.8 FPS 1% low framerate : 56.6 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 55.1 FPS 30-10-2022, 22:15:30 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 6445 frames rendered in 63.859 s 2.7.18 Beirut_4_3 Average framerate : 100.9 FPS Minimum framerate : 72.7 FPS Maximum framerate : 137.7 FPS 1% low framerate : 72.4 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 70.8 FPS 30-10-2022, 22:19:27 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 4906 frames rendered in 74.469 s 2.8.0 Beirut_4_2 Average framerate : 65.8 FPS Minimum framerate : 52.2 FPS Maximum framerate : 87.3 FPS 1% low framerate : 51.6 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 47.5 FPS 30-10-2022, 22:21:04 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 5590 frames rendered in 63.438 s 2.8.0 Beirut_4_3 Average framerate : 88.1 FPS Minimum framerate : 60.8 FPS Maximum framerate : 115.7 FPS 1% low framerate : 60.1 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 58.6 FPS EDIT2: Updated Title EDIT3: Corrected GPU Number dcs.log Performance_Fly_4_1_Beirut.trk Performance_Fly_4_2_Beirut.trk Performance_Fly_4_3_Beirut.trk dcs_2.7.18.log

Yes many different without success

Not in use either.

With Nvidia, it did not matter. There, I had them in both bound. Also i checkt, and the use hotkey were NOT bound to anything (active) in dcs. I checkt my module, Gui layer und some other rando Elements.

My point is, that the combox work everywhere, but in DCS.

All not working. Alt + T, Ctrl + Alt + W, Alt + Z (this worked with my nVidia previously) I also tried some other simpler once.
