Eldur Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 So, no updates for Hornet or Viper until the 2.5.6 patch is released? My guess is this week. But as always, anything is subject to change™, wink
Harlikwin Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I wonder if daytime will look better also in 2.5.6. Yeah not being able to read stuff in the pit without cockpit lighting on during the day for some modules is... Frustrating... New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).
pimp Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Yeah not being able to read stuff in the pit without cockpit lighting on during the day for some modules is... Frustrating... Well I meant daytime lighting in general. IMO, the pre-PBR daytime looked better than post-PBR. But the dusk and dawn post-PBR blows pre-PBR out the water. i9 14900k @5.6GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z790 A-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 990 Pro 2TB | 64GB DDR5 6400MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | PiMAX CRYSTAL LIGHT | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals

Raven68 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Fingers, toes and rotor blades crossed the testing went well and today's patch day.. Why today being it's Tuesday?

NeilWillis Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Easy mistake to make. I am wishing the week away so we can get the update too :thumbup::thumbup:
Eldur Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah not being able to read stuff in the pit without cockpit lighting on during the day for some modules is... Frustrating... As is not being able to read the HUD and MFCDs without zooming in... I mean, just try to while watching for example on a 1080 screen While we're at it: We still don't have the flashlight in VR... and the right hand controller is still borked. Hoping for some improvements literally everytime a new update hits
randomTOTEN Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) I mean, just try to while watching for example on a 1080 screen He has a bad zoom (a.k.a. a broken Simulation Control Interface).. unless of course that display is 4" from his face. Edited February 11, 2020 by randomTOTEN

ngreenaway Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 So, just to be clear, will there be an update? I heard rumor one might be coming [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE

ngreenaway Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Is there anything very big happening with this update? Yep. Two things: your version number will increment to 2.5.6 and second, bignewy won't have to field any questions whether an update is coming for at least two, maybe three days. Then, we stable scrubs will start asking "what about us?", And so it begins again for newy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE

flashben Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 No, they aren't illuminated at night Unless you fly through an overcast layer at night :D very illuminating
Phantom88 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Not today, If all goes well, towards the end of the week. thanks HHmmmm???? I'm off work for the rest of the week....I don't have a great track record with patches/modules dropping when I'm absent....Maybe I should call The Boss and tell him I'm coming in for The Good of The DCS Community:D....Then for sure 2.5.6 Open Beta will appear!! lol :megalol: Patrick
Jester986 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 your flaming wreck as it plunges earthward.. :lol::thumbup:
Eldur Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 He has a bad zoom (a.k.a. a broken Simulation Control Interface).. unless of course that display is 4" from his face. Well yeah, he's flying zoomed out quite a bit, like most of the content creators do on the tube. Plus, it's actually 1920x810 resolution. Roughly matches what I see in the Rift though. When flying without VR, I always kept the FOV at 60°, unless I needed a closer look where I "zoomed in" to 30°. Higher FOVs grant for better SA though, but they distort the sensation of speed and distances a lot. Yep. Two things: your version number will increment to 2.5.6 and second, bignewy won't have to field any questions whether an update is coming for at least two, maybe three days. Then, we stable scrubs will start asking "what about us?", And so it begins again for newy Made my day, now I can go hit the hay I reckon though that the last Stable version is more than 2 months old already as I still see people wanting to fly the Jeff they bought back then, but just not switching over to OB. The step to 2.5.6 probably will push it away even further.
randomTOTEN Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Higher FOVs grant for better SA though. I would argue they do not. They give new users a false illusion that they do. He can't see his instruments and displays as well. His sense of distance is distorted. He can't properly judge speed, and targets which should take a certain amount of screen size are scaled too small. He has to get closer to targets before he can adequately see them, and enemy aircraft (and missiles) can approach much closer before they become visible on his monitor. This is terrible SA. Masquerading as "good" SA. He can see more horizontal degrees of scenery, but sacrifices aircraft control for the benefit. Try and rid yourself of this misconception that a broken view is "better." it is not.
Al-Azraq Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Yep.
