DCS World 1.5 and 2.0 Discussion

[wilbur81]

I'm sure I was imagining things, but have any of you F-15C guys noticed any differences with the flight model in 1.5.1?

[SNAFU]

F-15C seems to have improved handling and thrust characteristics in 1.5 compared to 1.2.6.

 

Members of the squad I am part of tested F-15C vs Su-27 in gunzo fights in different regimes (speed, height, loadout). Our subjective impression was that, while in 1.2.6 the Su-27 had the upper hand in a slow speed turning fight/minimum radius at low altitudes, this was very difficult in 1.5.1, where the F-15C seemed to be superior even in the slow speed regime at all tested altitudes, not to speak of high speed/max. turn rate comparisons.

From changelog:

 

F-15C

• Infinite fuel after aerial refueling has been fixed
  
• Transonic Roll-off eliminated
  
• Wing rock effects implemented
  
• Rudders have more authority
  
• PTC operation corrected: trimming no longer required in transition from SL to 40000', 'wind up' effects corrected much faster, correct operation on-ground.
  
• High altitude, medium and high AoA behavior is corrected (related to TRO above)
  
• Slow speed, high AoA behavior is corrected
  
• Throttle movement range compression is mostly corrected (full movement range is useable, FTIT/RPM barely changes as altitude increases)
  
• Two wing tanks now have less drag than the belly tank
  
• Selectable bingo bug is implemented
  
• Afterburner stages lighting off are now subtly audible
  
• Conditions of oscillatory and flat spin are corrected
  
• Added strobe lights

I guess he means from 1.5 to 1.5.1.

Anyway if that is what you mean i'd say yes, something happened but it's a little hard to pinpoint excatly what.

Sorry for the confusion: I'm asking about the Eagle FM from 1.5 to 1.5.1

I wish they had corrected the same on the Su-27. It's still too easy to stall (and enter a nearly irrecoverable flatspin of death) in the '27, especially at higher altitudes.

One thing I can say, is that the chat needs to be looked at again.

It's just a clusterspam of useless messages, and no one ever looks anymore when a new chat message is sent.

 

Really, no response at all.

If there's response, it's usually over flooded with crap anyways giving you no time to read it.

Would be good if it was possible to place message window on top of the screen and make it wider.

here the 1.5.1 update 1 news

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2553798#post2553798

is anyone able to download?

Edited November 13, 2015 by theropod

[Silver_Dragon]

None actually yet.

[Valinor]

Tried to force the update now as well, nothing happened.

 

So i guess it's not ready on the content server yet

[msalama]

Nope, not downloadable yet. Waiting patiently - or otherwise ;)

The oscillations in the Su27 are due to the relaxed stability, which the F15C doesn't have.

[msalama]

OK, it's available. Downloading now.

[Silver_Dragon]

Downloading, but overcapacity and very low download speed (70 Kb/s)

[booz]

after update 1.5.1.47025 game crash with Oculus Dk2 :cry:

[Valinor]

Downloading here as well, full speed so far.

[bart]

Great update ED, most of the big issues I had before are fixed.

 

Rock steady 60 fps now, smooth flight, annoying tree shadow bug gone, love the back seat permission for the L-39C....great idea, stutters with the MiG-21 gone and seems stable on multiplayer so far.

 

All in all a great update, cheers guy's :thumbup:

[FSKRipper]

I can fully agree, great patch so far.

 

A few known bugs still persist but from the performance side this is the best you brought us since the first 1.5 upgrade. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Tricky11]

Has the light reflection been fixed?

[nigelmcelwee]

Agreed. Fantastic patch. I love the new sounds as well. Especially the sound of the airflow over the plane as you make a high G turn in the A10. So cool sounding!!!

[Bourrinopathe]

Great update ! Thanks to ED's hard work, it's shaping up really well.

The new sounds (the F-15C in-cockpit afterburner subtle sound is great!), the reworked options items, the almost-complete 3D encyclopedia (many entries were missing at initial 1.5 release), all the improvements are heading to the 2.0 milestone.

 

I can only think the Nevada experience is going to be exhilarating!

 

Congratulations!

 

(no issues upgrading here, except for the (infinite) cleaning-up… bug)

[sniperwolfpk5]

Downloading :)

[lxvanwyk]

:cry:I would really love apatch fixing the BS 1 upgrade issue so I can also fly the KA50 in 1.5

[zmzbg]

Hi guys

Anyone having issues with the single player after the last update .My game crash all the time when I try any single mission .Multiplayer is working fine on the other hand .
