I have experienced a heavy penalty in performance on carrier decks with static units after March 22nd v2.8.3.38090 patch on Single Threaded executable. I went from cleaning up video card driver with DDU and installing the latest one, reducing graphics besides my GPU or CPU not being maxed out. I'm running DCS with modest settings at 45 fps locked through nVidia control panel. My GPU usually ranges from 40 to 80% during gameplay. With the latest DCS 2.8.3.38090 Open Beta patch my frames dropped from the usual 45fps fps on deck in ST, to around 17-20 fps when looking at the aircraft parked towards the tower. Where there are the most polygons shown and lower than 45fps average. After take off and into the mission, fps stabilized towards the cap of 45 I've set. FIX: I rolled back to March 10th DCS 2.8.3.37556 Open Beta version and the fps are back into normal. I'm running single threaded because of current MT visual glitches in the likes of units specks/dots bleeding through clouds etc...and I'm hosting co-op sessions with a friend teaching and learning air combat and situational awareness kind of deal, so immersion is key. Graphics settings attached as image. GPU: RTX 3060 12gb Vram. CPU: i3 10100 @4.3Ghz. System RAM: 40gb. Windows 11. No change in the settings fixed the issue on the latest v2.8.3.38090, only the roll back to 2.8.3.37556. I searched and have not seen any mention on performance degradation on ST (single threaded).

[Designer's Notes] 1. Hawk 1-1 (Player 1, Tail # 211), is the mission commander for every mission, and must be selected to trigger designed events. 2. Cold start time is limited for some missions, it's highly recommended that the server remains paused until all players are seated and ready. 3. Please keep the original weapon loadout as some mission triggers will only be activated by a specified weapon type. 4. Please read the briefing material carefully in each mission pack. Please follow the flight waypoints, otherwise, some events might not be triggered. 5. It requires at least 4 players to complete most of the missions. But it's recommended to play with 4 or more players. Hawk 1 Flight is usually designed for primary objective, Hawk 2 Flight is for secondary objective, whilst an hot-on-ramp Hawk 3 flight with AA loadout doesn't carry any specific tasks but just in case more than 8 players want to play the game, feel free to change loadout and goals for Hawk 3. 6. For CAS missions, the in-game JTAC will ask you to depart after current group of targets are destroyed, but you could re-contact the same JTAC for the next assignment untill all groups of targets are destroyed. 7. All Air Force missions support maximum of 20 players, current simplified F-15C (FC3 module) will be replaced with full-simulated F-15C once it's released from ED. Although these missions don't have voiceovers, it would be more immersive if one player join as the Air Operation Controller to coordinate different flights/packages with different aircraft, especially when more than 2 flights (8 players) are in the game.

It has detailed mission briefing in pdf inside the download package. Operation Hormuz Mission 01 (digitalcombatsimulator.com) I planned to make a series of mission as a whole campaign, it doesn't have much thrilling plots or challenging tasks, but mainly focuse on following briefing instructions, fly tactical formation and basic weapon handling in an "as-real-as-possible" battlefield environment for multiplayer COOP. Hope you enjoy it. Welcome for comments, and please give feedbacks if there's any bugs, thanks.

It has been 3 months now that we have had to make the carrier decks empty so the ground directors can function without crashing a player. Is there an ETA on when the AI will detect the static objects or some solution so we can add some live to the now empty deck. Is this a going to be a in the near future, or a 2025 fix or is this a team knows the issue and will fix it when it comes next on the priorities of work. Single Player. Campaigns and user file missions that use the super carrier are now bugged Multiplayer. Users are racking up penalty points as they collide with a static object that the ground director guides them into. Squadrons are going back to the stennis to simulate carrier operations.

For some reason, the deck crew don't show up on Nimitz Class carriers, even though I have Supercarrier installed and deck crew enabled. As for why, I'm pretty sure this is because the recent updates to SC.

Just a very simple tutorial on how to use the F18 ACLS on Super Carrier.

Hi, I´ve got a question regarding the SC Module: From what I´ve read in this forum, the host does not need to own the SC module for a client that does own it to use the new ships. But when my friend (who does not own the SC module) hosts a mission I made that starts me on the 2017 Kuznetsov, I am spawned in the air above it, as if I don´t own the SC module. I have read in a different thread that the host has to install the SC Module to make it work for other players even if he does not own it via "bin\DCS_updater.exe install SUPERCARRIER". We are both using the steam version so there is no DCS_updater.exe. I already tried sending him the SC module, which is correctly recognized by the game (and causes an expected message about not owning the module when starting the game), but I can still not use the SC ships as a spawn if my friend is hosting the mission. TLDR: Non-dedicated server host does not own the SC module. How can we make it work for clients owning the SC module while using the Steam version of the game?

Would it be at all possible to have aircraft carriers work like airfields, given that airfields have parking spots, i.e. 1,2,3… Giving the maker the ability to place aircraft on the cats lined up like they are in the image below or pick where aircraft spawn on elevators. Thanks!
