First Open Beta 1.2.10.32582 Update 3 impressions / bugs


Recommended Posts

Posted

Of course, my post is lost in the forum recovery. Balls. But well, things happen :)

Didn't save it, so here I'll try to pick it all up again while time to the final release of update 3 is running out which decreases the chances that some of those issues will be addressed in time :D

 

Pro:

+ seems that I have more fps

+ taxiing requires heavy use of differential brakes now

+ brake sound with axis is a bit better now, but still very choppy

+ less shaking on the takeoff roll

+ seemingly better climb performance at 5km +

+ SAU stab now works, it's nice for flying around as it smoothens the controls, but in case of action, maneouvering, sharp turns etc better keep it off

+ oxygen seems to last longer now

+ rocket pods are fired all at the same time now, can be selected individually by switching off 1-2 or 3-4 electrics on the RH panel

+ Groms + S-24 ASP works now

+ artificial horizon now behaves correctly

 

Cons (consider as bugs):

- as mentioned above, brake sound when using a slider is still choppy

- brake pressure gauges don't react to rudder input if brakes are on a slider

- FFB double trim issue is still in and gives some heavy input spikes after usage of SAU stabilize (seen in my Mach flight in form of my nose going up quite violently as soon as I disable the AP) - in fact this point is the worst for me, please, please, please make the trim either just move the elevator (like FW-190D-9) OR the stick force center (like all other DCS planes), whichever is more correct, but not both at the same time

- I lost my wing stores (Groms + S-24s) during the takeoff roll, max G was 3, but it just happened once - could have been prevented in my flights after the first one because I activated SAU stabilize on all takeoffs since I had that happened on me

- up to 3Gs spikes on the ground, the suspension is still strange

- I couldn't lock the ground with Groms selected in beam mode anymore (not in tracks, leftmost switches both down, ASP launch mode, shoot, auto, missile/not gyro)

- I did a Mach 2 flight and noticed the "absence" of acceleration... Tanks were almost empty before I even hit Mach 2, I've hit that prior to this update with 2000l left

 

Just to mention in case some have seen the old post before the forum crash:

- I had reported a trim problem in the first version of this post, but I sorted it out, was my fault by not cleaning up the new joystick\default.lua file correctly :D
