Ryback

I was complaining about the same thing. I was wondering why A-10C has beautiful strobe lights but F-18 has not. Well I decided to make my hands dirty, after few hours of lights.lua reading/testing, i managed to integrate ''natostrobelights'' to F-18. I made a gif, it's not really a preview, plus I'm having hard times getting the strobe positions right, it's little complicated than it seems but here is the result. Link to video also: https://streamable.com/tdgbg I really don't understand ED's way of making things!! Why don't they use when something is already there?

It's gone. Everything works fine now.I've just uninstalled NVIDIA driver and got the latest. No more problems.I hope it won't happen again.Was strange though.

Hi BIGNEWYi Well thank you! Now game does not crash but when I change MSAA gives me this: Log attached.dcslog.zip In order make your investigation easier: These lines caught my attention 2020-02-23 05:02:13.282 ERROR GRAPHICSCORE: Failed assert `gbuffer.getMSAA() == deptStencil.getMSAA() && gbuffer.getMSAA() == msaa` at Projects\GraphicsCore\Source\GraphicsCore\Reflections.cpp:126 2020-02-23 05:02:17.744 WARNING LOG: 482 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2020-02-23 05:02:17.744 DEBUG LuaGUI: ----onSimulationResume--- 2020-02-23 05:02:17.749 ERROR GRAPHICSCORE: Failed assert `gbuffer.getMSAA() == deptStencil.getMSAA() && gbuffer.getMSAA() == msaa` at Projects\GraphicsCore\Source\GraphicsCore\Reflections.cpp:126 2020-02-23 05:02:17.764 WARNING LOG: 1 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2020-02-23 05:02:17.764 INFO Lua: Lua CPU usage: metric: average mission execution: 0.6114 % 2020-02-23 05:02:17.764 DEBUG LuaGUI: ----onSimulationPause--- 2020-02-23 05:02:17.769 ERROR GRAPHICSCORE: Failed assert `gbuffer.getMSAA() == deptStencil.getMSAA() && gbuffer.getMSAA() == msaa` at Projects\GraphicsCore\Source\GraphicsCore\Reflections.cpp:126 And that is the screenshot:

I've already send the crash report to ED, but i just wanted to know if anybody is on same train. Bear with me here as i have to explain very complicated thing. After the 2.5.6 patch i just wanted to take a good screenshot with augmented quality so i went for MSAAx2 SSAAX1.5 and Anisotropic x8. I've started the mission.Whoops!!! No ground no objects.Only the canopy of the Hornet and blue sky! I've exited the mission.Clicked to start. DCS is crashed. I've restarted the game, also started the mission with success, took my screenshot, and i just wanted to get the settings to my defaults.I've restored them again clicked the same mission ( it was a performance test / free flight around the Persian Gulf). And here it is.Canopy and blue skybackground and of course a crash after while. After many tests: I've found out that as long as i don't trash fxa and metashaders folders i can't change any of the Anti Aliasing settings. So not sure if it's a bug, could be on my end but if anybody can reproduce please chip in! Thank you!

That is one hell of a photo sir. I like the new lights. Personnally only thing i find unrealistic is city lights are very diffused.They have to be much more focused and crisp.Like in your photo. But it's very curious why nobody mentions the lack of real sky when the subject is lighting? There is no cloud layer in DCS, no pollution/dust-fog ( please don't tell me they are there, you know what i mean) We have cloud cover but It's basically on and off. There is the moon light and you have no moon light.That's it! When these things are missing the rest is pretty redundant.It will never look ''real''..

Hi again. ED Support was ultra fast.I opened a ticket.They've answered right away.IP change during -single player - gameplay causes this(might not be your case i don't know). They said they are well aware and working on it for the next open beta. I thought i should share.

Happened also.Mid flight :mad:

Stuck on Terrain Graphics Init:97,Caucasus.ng5 (Also Nevada , PG) Won't start.. No Anti Virus BTW! EDIT: Opening an existing mission fixed it! Create New Mission was problematic. Now works both ways!

Looks very good! It's maybe the most needed AI aircraft for that timeline.Especially the G Model .I hope will not die like other AI projects. Also would be really good the see some F's on the carrier deck. Thanks for your time and effort!

Me! I want the one does not have 3 years of development ahead, after it's released as alpha/beta/EA whatever you like to call it! Am i the winner or what?:music_whistling:

Log in! Use your DCS store account not the forum one. Go to mod page.Dwon to the comments section, there is almost impossible to not see / big ADD COMMENT button.Click it.Say what you wanna say.

crazyeddie made USNS Patuxent while ago..I don't think it works due to new edm format.It nwas very beautiful.Not an US ship but well..You can always use this: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1546436/

Not only the release time but also matters how ''complete'' it will come! That's not RAZBAM specific but i'm very unhappy about Early Access, Alpha, Pre-Alpha stuff. I think i won't buy anything until it's feature complete -minus bugs of course.I don't remember exactly but i didn't feel the ''big missing things'' with the Hog.It was almost 10 years ago so my memory could lead me wrong.

Best newsletter i've encountered in the last 5 years( may be 10).:thumbup:

At last somebody with real knowledge not with uneducated guess.Thank you!

Thanks for all the replies.But it didn't happen again.I'm really wondering if i damaged something during take off.Can't hold the darn thing on a straight line while taking off.I tried it but can't reproduce.So everything's fine here.Merry Christmas my friends.

Thanks for the quick reply.No, i didn't touch these at all. Joystick behavior is normal depending to controls screen/indicator (or whatever they call it the red square with axis's).I also did re-calibration.

Guys, Since the last update Viper's nose started to sink. It's almost impossible to fly straight without trim is set aft - very- or the stick.When i leave it be, the nose dives..I checked my joystick setup, nothing's wrong.Anybody else or is it on my end?

Indeed! I realized i missed it! All this flutter and chaos with the Hornet and Viper made me forget somehow how beautiful that old lady is.

:shocking: 7.1 ? Did you buy "everything" brother? :)

No not yet! It's a big one so it might take a while. Check here to be sure: http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/

I find F-18 very complex.F-16 suits me better for now.I'm not very experienced except A-10C.May be similarities makes me think like that.I would wait until both modules are complete than i will wait than compare!But that's me.

Too much work. A bit of remake of everything.Even re-re-remake.Plus new stuff. ''For now, the lead engineer responsible for this is focused on the aircraft carrier communications (departure, marshal, approach, tower, and LSO).............................................. However, this is the same lead engineer responsible for aircraft AI, and there are important tasks on that front that also demand his attention...'' source:Mudspike Lord! Help that guy!

It was a gift for me!10th Anniversary gift!! It's my 10th year on ED Forums.Thank you.

All due respect this thread is getting very weird guys. Although the stick is very similar if not the same as Warthog.The only thing i see here is "stick". "THROTTLE" guys! We do NOT have throttles -at least most of us- ! If i were you i would be concerned about this.Not the "STICK"!!!
