Winston 60 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) We flew a 2.5 hour multiplayer session tonight in release ver 1.5.6.1938 and noticed the following: 1. Mouse cursor does not go away when idle. 2. CBU-97's dropped from the A-10A again cause a major pause when exploding. 3. Some aircraft, when spawning in after mission start, are causing a major pause. It may be the MiG-29A doing this, I'll have to test more. 4. The clouds are wacky. Sometimes they swirl and boil as you approach them then they change to streaks/lines and disappear. 5. Anti-radiation missiles do perform better than in 1.5.5 but as one of our members commented "It looks like they may have just increased the amount of splash damage the missiles do. They still really do not hit the target, but no problem, the larger splash seems to kill the SAM". 6. FPS in general seems to be a bit improved for me, getting a steady 60 fps in the Su-25T with mirrors on, vsync on. These jerks and pauses are not random, there seems to be a mission event happening in every instance that causes them to occur like some aircraft or vehicle(s) spawning in or some weapon being deployed or exploding. I was flying an Su-25T and others were in A-10A's. These are my first impressions of the 1.5.6 patch and I have to say I'm a bit confused. I'm used to ED's new patches improving performance instead of creating jerks and pauses. I'm unable to upload a track as it was a huge file but I'll be doing more flying and testing in the next weeks. Maybe I can get a track that's not so big that shows some of these little nasties. I was also using one mod tonight "Starways Terrain" and didn't want to leave the session to remove it once I started experiencing the jerks/pauses because the other pilots in the flight all had pure clients and were experiencing and observing the same things.

cthulhu68 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 The morse code sound I hear in F5 (TACAN?) was on when doing runway start in A-10C. Was this added on purpose? Mouse cursor does go away in SP.
