yep, doesn't make any difference...

 

I know you like to tweak your install, perhaps you tweaked it too far, as shown above I dont see an issue.

For some reason the hud brightness binding was removed (maybe I did it unconsciously) and so it didn't work...after re-enabling it I can set the brightness fine...however, the problem now is that all missions start with the brightness at minumum which I find odd as I have to increase it every single time I start a mission (for both su-27 and su-33)...is also only happening to me?, worked fine in previous version...

 

btw, it happens with the vanilla version (no tweaks/mods installed, yet :D)

 

thanks for the replies!:thumbup:

[kontiuka]

is also only happening to me?

No. As I mention above, I have to do it too but not all the time which is interesting. May have to do with time of day.

[Vitormouraa]

It's been like that for many years. It kinda drives me crazy in the A-10C :) I have to adjust the HUD brightness all the time to MAX. My OCD is way too strong I guess. I wish I could modify that thru the .lua.

i couldn't see any performance or visual differencies either.

I have a bit of increase in NTTR go to raise my shadows to Low from Flat, increased setting tab from Medium to High with VR set at 1.6 framerate from 45 to 90, Depending on location

flat shadows worse than low on your rig, correct?

Hi,

 

Seems that todays 2.1 update has solved - Unnecessary folder \Mods\aircraft\jsAvionics with 1,3 GB ? - for DCS 2.1

That is correct

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

I have noticed that terrain self shadowing looks different (less saturated and a bit different color) so maybe that's what they are refering to when talking about "lighting corrections"...also, those self shadows are not working at dawn while they are working at dusk.

[Psicodreamics]

Has anyone looked at the cockpit mirrors? Now we can see the same terrain reflected outside in the mirrors at dawn and sundown

A slight tangent here... but didn't ED report a few months back (or is it already half a year?) that wednesday is the new patch day to give themselves time to haul out hotfixes prior to weekend.

 

Now, for the last 2 months every update has again arrived on a friday. What gives?

"everything is subject to change" :)

 

I guess if the internal schedules or delays prevent them from releasing update on Wednesday, then they can still release on Friday.

[HiJack]

The logical thing to do is to update the release version 1.5 on Wednesday’s and the beta and alpha on any day when there is a stable build.

I don't have a problem with Friday updates still, but noticed the trend also...:dunno:

Yes this is generally the plan, but it also gives ED some wiggle room if we have a problem in testing that needs to be resolved before going public, rather than wait a whole week the Friday patch option is still there.

Patching can happen every day too serve the community for the best! :D :thumbup:

Of course. For all I care the patches can be published on tuesdays at 0334Z... I also understand that it is not a big deal that the updates come on another day at times.

 

But this all goes back to communication between ED and the customers. What was the point of disclosing the change in patch-day if none of the patches for the last 2-3 months are always on fridays regardless?

 

It just seems strange.

 

And YES I know I'm commenting on a subject that on the surface doesn't matter in any shape or form. Forgive me for I am of the "principles first" kind of person and thus the matter sort of made my brain go "why?".

 

Don't take me *too* seriously, alright.

 

 

But hey, good weekend everyone!

[BIGNEWY]

No worries, there is no conspiracy so don't over think it.

 

I don't want to get off topic here so if you wish feel free to PM any time.

 

Keep this thread for discussing the released patches.

 

thanks

DCS 1.5.7.11476 Update 5

[Esac_mirmidon]

Weapons.dll Crash fixed. Great news

[ZHeN]

any updates for mirage ?

[NineLine]

This was more of a special case as this patch should fix a major issue (I hope) with multiplayer right now, we shouldnt complain about getting a new patch ever...

I'm not *complaining* about patches coming in the wrong day... point is not the day itself. That is superficial. The point is that something was communicated that doesn't hold at all. In this case the implications are nonexistent. But I'm after the principle.

 

Have you checked the publish dates for most of the last 2 months of patches? :D It isn't just "one special case".

 

 

It is good that things get fixed no matter the day. Now I'm just looking for the magic patch to get the Harrier into the sim... and the Hornet... and 2.5... and... :P

 

 

EDIT: oh and ON TOPIC... No fix for the F-15 HSI distance indicator yet? I was looking forward for a patch to fix it...

[Buckeye]

Any idea why after I updated I can't open 1.5 in VR without it crashing immediately?

 

2.0 opens fine. 1.5 not in VR opens fine. 1.5 with VR immediately hits "Program Stopped Working".

 

Tried full repair, etc.
