VirusAM Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I would like to know as well - on the cusp of buying a new machine and if throwing more cores helps I need to know. I don’t think yet...hopefully in the near future. I have a 8 core cpu and can’t see much difference between this release and the previous. But probably fps are more stable then before. Hopefully we will see more improvements in the future especially for VR R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 Valve Index VPForce Rhino FFB, Virpil F-14 (VFX) Grip, Virpil Alpha Grip, Virpil CM3 Throttle + Control Panel 2, Winwing Orion (Skywalker) Pedals, Razer Tartarus V2 SpeedMaster Flight Seat, JetSeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But probably fps are more stable then before. Hopefully we will see more improvements in the future especially for VR I'm not sure what to make of your comment. In the latest newsletter it states: DCS World 2.5.6 represents one of the biggest updates since the launch of DCS World 2.5 and offers powerful new tools capable of CPU load distribution and FPS management when using peripheral hardware. Many of the improvements in this update are thanks to your feedback and requests, we can’t wait to hear what you think.This is not about future plans, it refers to 2.5.6 stable which is out now. It would be helpful if someone could the explain what the above refers to, as it's not clear to me. What are these "powerful new tools"?

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It would be helpful if someone could the explain what the above refers to, as it's not clear to me. What are these "powerful new tools"? If I'd have to make a guess, it's about potential stutters caused by USB flight controls. Remember the recommendation (I think by SkateZilla, if memory serves me - which it rarely does) to add the line "no_device_hotplug = true" to your autoexec.cfg as a potential fix for stutters? I think it might be related to that... Just my 2cp...

I was able to buy it in the online store while I wait for the update to download. About bloody time ED gave me something else to spend money on.

gunterlund21 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Love the way DCS is talking up the AV-8 on the newsletter. To make this truly viable, you need to fix the fact that the AI cant land on the Tarawa. That needs to be fixed ASAP. You can see LSO messages on the Tarawa but they do not land correctly. Its a mess. I was in Art of the Kill D#@ it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisBelle Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 And once again no single word about Huey Multi-Crew. It´s been mentioned around Kates Road map along with a little sneak peek and a release window of May. Since we passed that timeframe...dead silence. I know that it is still being worked on. But that's the case also for other stuff which is regularly mentioned in updates and newsletters as well. I don't expect to have a fixed release date, I know that this is not possible. I just want to have some signs of life, what's the progress, whats the difficulties...these are things mentioned for other things too, why not Huey Multi-Crew? Is it so hard to give us Rotor guys some info?

Lenux Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) I have a question about the Siria map : is it entirely with sand, rock, like the Persian Gulf map ? With Google Earth, I tried to have a better idea. On the North West of Siria, somewhere between Lataka-Homs-Al Qusayr -Tartus-Hamah, there are some hills, green fields, etc Could anyone with more experience, give some details, please ? I would be really disappointed to have another " sand rock map " Thank you Edited June 12, 2020 by Lenux I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be really disappointed to have another " sand rock map " Thank you Large parts of it should have mediterranean climate, so it's definitely not only sand and rocks. For the coastal regions, think greek islands like the one featured in a well known military sandbox shooter... Going further east, you'll eventually end up with quite a lot of sand and stones, but topography should still be different from Persian Gulf...

Eldur Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 All the talk about a new map being VR optimized not yet when the whole sim isn't even Well, I look forward to the new map as I've been waiting for that one for a while now and it's been utterly silent lately - glad to have some news finally. Then we just need some planes like the Phantom and Flogger and it's gonna be awesome! And PG isn't just sand rock... it's Dune. He who controls the Spice... I still wonder though why the newsletter has that part about the Harrier... it's neither new nor is it going to be completed / out of Early Access anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
