List most annoying unrepaired bugs.

[NineLine]

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

 

I have.

Great. Was it any good?

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.

 

Quite good news for me, thanks for letting me know, but like you said the post is outdated and the progress is slow, damn slow. It still is the topic of the most annoying still unrepaired stuff, even though it is said that ED is working on things mentioned for… years if not more than a decade. ;)

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.

 

I totaly agree with above.

And I can add more:

 

• Most of lights looks terrible, even FSX have much more nice looking.
  

 

• Night lightning - strobe or NAV lights disappear at very short distances.
  

 

• ECM simulation - so simple modeled, that it cannot be called simulation at all.
  

 

• Heat missiles sensor simulation - flare useless at close distance, even when all of them used at very short time, missile will still hit you
  

 

• Radar simulation - aircraft size, shape, weapons on pylons, angle to radar, engine intakes and exhausts
  

 

• Missile flight models and guidance - example..120 turning sharply, not smoothly and loosing way way to much speed because of it
  

 

• Missing usable radio – since forever
  

 

• AWACS – broken since forever, not calling or giving right info at proper time. AWACS comm model very poor. In reality it is VERY strong and important player in game. Tactical command, Close command, Threat calls, Spike answers, …many many more. Simply, AWACS is NOT communicating with you, unless you ask him – WRONG, BAD, REPREHENSIBLE. It should be your right hand in combat, sometimes more important than your wingman - he also have broken comm. Recommendation for ED team: study AA and AG comm - intraflight/with FAC-GCI/AWACS/ATC…after study completed… than start to rebuild DCS comm from ground.
  

 

• Missing BULLSEYE use for every Western plane - broken since forever. Everyone in sim NEED to know his position and position of the target according to referenced point. Not only A10C, but fighters also!
  

 

• Trees and clouds need to be object with volume. AI sight model, LASER beam collision, sensor heat seeker collision. Turbulence and winter icing simulation inside clouds.
  

 

• AI sight NOT blocked by limited view from cannopy. AI can follow you in impossible angles even when you are in his doppler notch and out of visible angles. I know I know, every AI has GOD's EYE Mark.II pod on his plane.
  

I don’t have more time to think, but there are more and more bad things waiting for improve or complete redesign.

Didn't talk about it as they aren't ''bugs'', but +over 9000

Make sure if you have a bug that its properly reported using the template below in my sig, also dont confuse a feature with a bug. For example, ATC revamp will basically be a new feature, its not really a bug, although we can all agree it could be better, hence the revamp.
