Major Update Lag in A-10C TGP View in MFD in 1.2.8

[pdmarsh]

Since updating to 1.2.8 I'm seeing a seconds-long lag in updating the A-10C TPG view in the MFD. Particularly after a weapon impact the view simply freezes, i.e. you can't watch the impact in real time, if at all. When the MFD view catches up, it's all over. Never had this view update lag in 1.2.7.

 

Hope this helps and that it can be fixed.

 

Thanks,

Paul

 

Edit: This actually affects game play in that you can't use the TGP to sight another target while the view is frozen. This was the bigger problem for me than the delayed view itself.

Log Files Attached

 

I re-flew the mission in order to capture fresh files and observe the error once again. In one instance I had three Mavericks in the air and watched the targets on an MFD/TGP screen. Just before the first impact the MFD/TGP froze and stayed frozen for 10 seconds. As far as I could tell, just the MFD/TGP image froze, i.e. the rest of the game continued. I did not see any of the three impacts in real time. When the MFD image unfroze, it showed the aftermath of the attack. In a second strike on other targets the MFD/TGP image froze for six seconds. However, in one or two cases the image did not freeze and I could see an impact in real time. I had just one bomb in the air that time or two.

 

Track, log and dxdiag files attached.

I don't know if this observation will help, but the first time I replayed the mission using the track file I saw the same 10 second lag in updating the MFD/TGP image. However, I came back later after shutting down DCS World (not the PC itself) and re-ran the track file. This time there was no delay. I did not fly any manual missions after restarting DCS World--I just played back the track file.

 

I use a fourth monitor to display both MFDs. I was not watching the MFD in the 3D cockpit view, so I can't say if it showed the same delay as what was seen on the 4th monitor.

 

Again, hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Paul
