Is that another program? How can I view that new stuffs too?

 

I exclusively run the stable build of DCS (2.5.5), but it should be the same for the 2.5.6 OB

 

Find your main DCS World installation folder (not in Saved Games) -> bin -> modelviewer2.exe

 

Once open click on load model (top-left corner) and find a model to load. Most models are found within Bazar -> World -> Shapes

 

For others look in CoreMods -> aircraft -> *aircraft name* -> Shapes

 

There's also tech -> John C Stennis/RailwayObjects/TechWeaponPack -> Shapes

 

 

The AH-1G and that UH-60 with the wings has actually been present in the modelviewer for quite some time (at least since DCS 1.5 IIRC), just never implemented. There's also a PT-76B and a Ropucha class LST (which is a more recent addition).

 

You can also test animations & textures - it's a super useful program, you can even see models for stores yet to be implemented, such as ATFLIR, SLAM-ER, Mk-40 etc.

Hi I can defenetly confirm that the FPS drop is still there (Starting from Batumi in VR with oculus rift, ATI 1080TI, driver version 442.19), but I noticed that's ok for Persian Gulf map (But maybe it's only better because there are less objects).

 

Maybe it depends on the caucasus map?

Is ED still investigating this issue?

My guess is that there's still some work to do to iron out this stuff.

I'm not using VR, and my framerate in the previous version was quite bad, but in this newest version is very, very, very much improved. I went TWO steps up on view distance and still I have better FPS than I did previously, especially in Dubai!

 

So thanks for this update, ED!

Some new models added with previous patch. But they are not in game yet.

That models has present on DCS from Ka-50/A-10C, the AH-1G never was implemented as the AH-1W, and the UH-60 with ESSS has maintain on the shadows. Only has been a texture update, no a new 3D model or funtionality, the same situation, has been with hundred of other 3D models with ED "update" on any new patch, from Lomac, Ka-50, A-10C, 1,25, 1.5 and 2.0. Only a little quantity has "new".

Oh, I didn't know they were there for such a long time. Thanks for clarification.

Can we expect hotfix today or not? Just call it so we can manage our free time properly.

Great news on the hot fix.

I pray it would fix my "Someone logged into your account from a different machine" related crash.

Downloading already.

Hot fix did not fix the CAT issue. Take off from the carrier and land again. Try to connect to CAT 3 and it will throw you around and damage your jet.

 

It also takes multiple U key hits to connect to the CATs. Also, that text on the left and right screen is still there. Main: Static:

Didn't fix much in my option. I fact it seems to be worse. Nevada performance is awful and unplayable out of Nellis around Vegas. Everywhere else not bad but Nellis "Unplayable".

 

Aircraft still floating in Multiplayer sessions in VR the remembrance of a test menu on the screen. Someone forget to take it out. Never seen this before?

Tanker now responds with altitude and airspeed when asking for rejoin. :thumbup:

 

This is one of the small changes very much appreciated! ajmug.png

 

And it wasn't even on the list pc-fcheeks.png

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Edit: My performance went up a bit, doing around 30fps now. Still not the 45 I had, but better than just 22fps. And almost stutter free.

 

And because of the performance issues I just checked the VR options to see if something might have changed (especially PD), and I've come across this:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=228302&stc=1&d=1582325586

 

Didn't test it yet (was off initially), but when it does what I suppose it to do, this board doesn't have a big enough font setting to say...

 

Thank you! 01-tia_claps.gif

This will make using the VR controllers so much easier as we don't have to carefully watch where we'd place the right one to rest anymore and not worry about it triggering any switches. Definately the best of those undocumented changes for me icon_exclaim.gif
