  1. im just wondering how custom controls will be handled with the new upcoming merge? i have setup some planes in 1.5 only and other in 2.0 only so i got different setups between the versions. will 2.5 be installed with "default" controls for all aircraft or how will it work? do i need to save/export my keybinds/curves before the update and then import them as usual? will the 2.5 update delete all old versions?
  2. the mouse works in menus just fine and i can see the little yellow "plus" cursor as usual but it dosent switch anytning. no buttons, nor dials work no matter how much i click. i also tried to click just about everywhere to see if its just off mark but nothing. the cursor wont change to that "upp down" arrow symbol either when placed on top of a swich or rotary.. it worked fine last week so must be something the update did. i tried the alt+c and the cursor disappeared and came back but still no functionallity.. ive tried A10C and the M2000 and same problem for both modules. in 2.1.1 the cursor works just fine so most likely not some hardware problem. i cant seem to find any earlier post on this so i fear its just me? or am i just blind...:music_whistling:
  3. i think ED should consider to make a option to turn on/off tree shadows in the game directly since its seems to be such a FPS booster...
  4. no chance this will get looked at? the SAI gets completely out of any kind of balance very fast. sometimes all it takes is some simple maneuvering right after take off and the SAI is tilted over 45 degrees.. thats hardly coz of gyro drift? i can understand if it gets out of synch after prolonged flight with hard turns and what not.. but not after a couple of minutes.. and besides being a useless instrument it looks really bad :/
  5. my 2.1 looked ok in cockpits first couple of test flights in both the gazelle and ka-50 but after some tweaking with graphich settings (in game not card/windows) the game restarted itself and after that my cockpits look as the first pic in this post.. really wierd. its like you just randomly changed the saturations of Everything.. and for the landscape; at first it looked better but pretty dull and gray. the pics here in the "sell" depertement look really colorful and lively. not so in my end. its like Everythings washed out. im glad i still got 1.5 and the Mirage campain to play with coz Nevada and normany is a no go until its fixed... sigh
  6. this is still a problem for me. i recently added Nevada and started using 2.0 for the first time and the night is pitch dark there but still very bright in 1.5 (as in you can see stuff without NVG in the middle of winter with no moon etc.. even inside a closed unlit hangar you see details). so apparently this is NOT a monitor issue. it might very well be hardware related since 1.5 and 2.0 uses different graphic engines but its only in dcs 1.5 i have this problem. not in any other game, including low budget indie games... its still playable but its "not fun nor realistic" :/
  7. im not sure if this is the same issue discussed here but ive found that when ive locked (pressed 2 times) a target and have a narrow search area and is flying straight towards the target fom 40 miles and out (ive honed in on their rwr signal/and or know Place in space) the lock usually only last a couple of secs (5-10 sec) (no cranking on either part) and then the lock will break and the search cone will pan/jump to the absolute far right or left of the radar screen on its own. i can easily recenter the beam and relock but sometimes it happens like 3-4 times Before i get in range for a shot. this happens hands of so its not me accedentaly doing this. :( ive only tried the training missions thus far so the enemies are more or less dumb drones flying straight at constant speed..
  8. i say -get all modules you even remotely think you will spend time with and enjoy. if you can afford it that is. not all here are 40+ upper middle class persons without kids and a ”fairly” large recriation cash stack and tons of time. i mean its on sale right now and for 30 bucks i get a decent dinner and a beer on a local bar here.. and all that gives in the ”long run” is a good belch ;) im getting the gazelle just coz it has good downward view and i want to go check for ufo-s at area 51 later tonight ;)
  9. i stand corrected..it is in the change log. at least for the mirage. "Updates to transonic drag modeling for performance and accelerating timing (greatly increased drag from previous)"
  10. so im not dreaming then? the plane IS behaving differently and the drag is higher? i have no problem if this is proper simulation of RL but it seems a bit weird to so suddenly change such a "big" thing in the game without any (to my knowledge) heads up from dev? If this is is the way things are to be from now on we just have to re learn the planes new limits.. but i must say its rather boring to suddenly have a harder time flying :(
  11. im new to the Mirage. i got it a couple of days before the last update and only had time to fly it very basically in the previous version of dcs. still i directely had the feeling the plane had lost some Power in a wierd way after the update. as a new plane owner i had been buzzing around the hills and cities and making a couple of landings and doing the training missions just to get the feel of the controlls etc. Before the update i landed with no problem for example.. after the update its damn near impossible and that loss of Power at high AoA at low speed seems directely linked to my constant failures (and that forward noosewheel "spring" bug too ofc -but thats Another matter) as the plane has a tendency to drop like a stone during the latter stadges of the approach and need full AP to not crash (im still learing the landing but this is Before/after patch im talking about). i also feel that the A10C have lost some Power after the update and that is my "main" plane and i have flewn it a lot last months. it just feels like dcs world has changed someting with drag/weight etc.. that wierd Rolling in AP while in a orbit you get might also be related to some kind of AoA loss of speed? i would very much like to get more comments on what ppl "feel" and less technical pointers. just get in the planes and do what ever you did Before the update and see if it feels different.
  12. Engine powerloss? I feel the same but havent more rhan a week of exp with the mirage. But i still noticed some change in power. I alao feel the a10c lack power since latest patch. I have plated on both 1.5 and 2.0 and same issues. Before i alway had rount 90-95% throttle on the hog during my cirkling /tgp observing of the target area but now i need 100%. That werd auto pilot issue were the plane starts wobbeling can also ve related to the lack of power can it not? Something is wrong and even more so uf not all players experience it...
  13. Im not sure about this but it feels like some generall tweak has lowered the power of the engines? I got the mirage and a10c and playeed them both a day before the last update and both of them seems affected. The a10 barealy gets of the ground in some cases and where i used to just take off and almost at once start my turn tiwards Target i now need to jeeo almost level a long time to build up speed over 200 knt. The mirage is ofc much faster but feels to bleed power in middle/high g turns to the point of stalling really fast. I played against a ai F5 that i never ever could shake from my six no matter what and when i tried climbing straight up i lost power but the F5 zipped past with plenty to spare. Im new to a-a but it "feels" wrong. Is this how real planes perform or ?
  14. ive ended up aborting the DL and restarted it but this time i only ticked in Nevada. it dl at 9-10 mb/sec and thats okish. after Nevada was installed i ticked the rest of the modules one by one and they installed very quickly only needing to dl some 150 mb each. so now im all set. hmm.. seems a bit wierd but it turned out ok so im happy.. time to climb into the flight chair :)
