List most annoying unrepaired bugs.

[lazduc]

I would like to see your comments on the most egregious long term bugs that have not been addressed. The reason; when I am confronted with these bugs I will not waste my time trying to troubleshoot them.

Guys here have many times mentioned bugs that have not been addressed and have been known for many generations. I believe that this list will help elevate the frustration of running into a problem and then having to post it here only to find that it is an old problem......(so trying to search through this forum for answers and getting annoyed and giving up :cry:) one can turn to this list. :thumbup:

 

Please list the bug, module effected, serious negative game results, and the time when first encountered. :joystick:

Please also do not list any new bugs as they are probably being addressed. By new I mean within the latest 3 patches.

 

Thanks.

Laz :D

Go to the first page of every module, 3rd party developer, and DCS version and click on the Bug thread already there. If its that egregious people will still be complaining about it.

Doubt it will change much, but why not lol :

 

1) Tanker AI being drunk/lazy (you gotta plug it yourself). Very old bug. Affects at least the F-15

2) F-15 TWS FPS loss : After a few hours of playing, locking someone in TWS gives you ~10FPS, switching to STT makes it normal. Encountered like a year ago.

3)Memory leak (since 1.5) : Playing with less than 16Gb of RAM makes a lot of lag-spikes/performance grows worst as time goes on. (might have been fixed and it tourns out ED said screw 8Bg RAM)

4)HDR (or whatever the setting you can set to hot/cold is) : You can get sun-blinded by looking at the sun's direction, even in dusk/night time.

PERFORMANCE!!! at least in 1.5...mostly:cry:

[Art-J]

Performance started decreasing only after 1.5.3, so it's too "fresh" problem for this thread :D. I suppose OP means bugs dating back to 1.2.x era.

That is true, been the last month or so, still annoying none the less :thumbup:

[lazduc]

Thanks for your answers....would hope that these will be addressed/repaired

before 2.5.

Any guesses when 2.5 will be released? I suppose it will be a alpha build???

I also noticed in the latest PC Pilot mag that several of the third party developers have released the same aircraft to FSX and DCS. Hawk by Veao. They list is a dual seat.....wonder if the same problems carried over to FSX?

That is 'interesting' to say the least.

[NineLine]

Wait, are we saying the VEAO Hawk is in FSX, news to me....

[GeorgeLKMT]

I don't know what's in the latest PC Pilot, but the only Hawk available for FSX/P3D now is by Just Flight.

That's what I thought... so maybe just a mistake by someone.

[Winston 60]

My most annoying bug is the nose bort numbers being truncated on the AI MiG-23. It was reported over 4 years ago!

[RglsPhoto]

the issue about trk replaying

[lazduc]

The module in PC Pilot is a Just Flight production. Just flight is a distributor and uses other developers......

 

I find it interesting the different releases of modules that roughly match the dates with DCS and FSX, same aircraft but sometimes different publishers/developers. The similarities are catching. IMHO.

 

I do not expect 3rd parties to not negotiate with other outlets.

From the shop: "...BAe Hawk T1 for FSX, FSX: Steam Edition and Prepar3D has been developed by Just Flight's in-house development team...". ;) Also the cockpits are clearly different.

I think the easiest to fix bug is "MP loosing waypoints"

My most annoying bug is the start with a nonstop beeping plane (Su-25A,Su-25T,Su-27) bug.

could you elaborate on this beeping plane thing??...I think I have the same problem but in a mig.

[Robin_Hood]

Sometimes when you spawn in a russian plane, the SPO (RWR) immediately and constantly sings as if you were locked by someone. Only way to fix it AFAIK is to leave the plane and respawn again, and hope it doesn't do it anymore.

 

It's been a while since I have flown those, though, so I don't know if it evolved into something else.

[Raven434th]

Yup that the same issue I have in the mig.This happens when I'm on the runway as well.Last time I flew multiplayer this happened (about a month ago)ANNOYING AS HELL!!!

[Bogey Jammer]

This is not a bug but I've got sick of lock-on era then already Lo-res 3D models of AI units, especially some aircrafts I want to put the most in my missions (Su-22, F-4, Su-34). I think about it every time I launch DCS. Look at my avatar, don't you recognize a pilot face ?

 

I also add the zoom out effect in cockpit at mission start.

Bogey, the old "Lock-On" 3D model has on slow progress update by ED. Actually ED work on update aircrafts (F-4E, F-16 and others) ships (future module carriers) and vehicles.

 

You can check here (the russian forum section post has "outdated" 1 year ago):

I'm afraid this is not true.

 

A good Hawk has been available for a long time - by Skysim (Rick Piper).

 

http://www.avsim.com/pages/0908/Skysim/Hawk.htm

 

They may have done a new one for JF, but theirs was the first good payware Hawk T.1 for FSX (dunno about P3D but there's no reason why it shouldn't work well in that, too).

 

Edit - seems it's not for sale by Skysim any more, though I don't know if a thrid party sells them.

From the top of my head:

- ATC is broken since.... forever. Before DCSW.

- Tanking as well

- Tracks as well

- JDAM flight model is not only SFM but horribly wrong, since forever

- Bomb splash damage, since forever

- Clouds not blocking AI line of sight. Not sure if I should call it a bug. I think I do. since forever

- Canopies cast no shadow (yes, I know, that's not a shadow but from refraction blabla. Still looks like a shadow. And it is missing in DCSW, making aircraft shadows look really bad). Since forever.

No disrespect intended, but: They have been saying that for years. Literally. And I have seen absolutely nothing of it yet.
