DCS Update Patch Notes Discussion Thread

[Oceandar]

Wow, mine is 11 Gigs. Gazelle and M2K got patches, love it. Thaaaank you guys

[Nooch]

deferred shading is here to stay, I do not know if there is a work around sorry.

 

I do hope there will be something done. With deferred shading on, I cannot fly an open formation (I constantly lose sight of my flight lead at 1NM) and cannot manage to regroup on my leader's wing. Also spotting ennemies becomes an excessively hard thing.

 

Now, I fly in VR and don't know if the problem is also there with standard monitors or not but deferred shading completely ruins it for me in my Oculus. Much of the contrast aircraft - sky/background is lost.

 

I planned to fly the Hornet with my mates in MP but now I'm really affraid it's not going to be possible anymore.

Yeah I just saw that. :doh:

 

My apologies!

 

I thought we were in the Newsletter discussion thread.

 

I merged them here dont worry :)

ED should look into a way to making Deferred Shading turned off for those of us that can't afford a graphics card upgrade especially with the insane prices these cards are at right now.

There's no mention of it in the update patch notes thread, but this update has moved my audio to my rift headset (Don't care for this). Is there a way to change it?

Change it in your windows sound menu ( should be icon in lower right of your systray). Set your default sound in there.

[MurderOne]

My default sound is set to my speaker system

Hmm ok so how did you keep it from going automatically to Rift audio before?

I know when I launch DCS, or any other game in VR I get audio in my Rift headset automatically.

 

Edit: Come to think of it though, I have it set in my Oculus Tray Tool to do this for me.

Sorry not real sure on your issue. If you have the Oculus Tray Tool I guess you could use that to set your audio playback preferences.

Well, see, I'm not sure. It just always worked the way I wanted it to before now. 2.5.0 release version still plays through the speakers, 2.5.1 beta plays through the rift.

You can thank the bitcoin miners for the increase in prices on graphics cards these days. I cringe at the prices also, but love it for my nvidia stock. :)

I understand their decision about DS. It's not just a feature you turn on and off, it brings DCS into a whole new world, a totally different lighting system. They can't possible keep supporting the old one. This being said ,I also understand the frustration of those with weaker GPUs. Eventually, you will need to bite the bullet, though. I have a 1070 which is not the creme de la creme, but it still runs quite smooth.

 

And here's a virtual beer for fixing the AI climb issue! ;)

Oh, that is fixed?! Nice :beer:

[Dr_Arrow]

Thank you ED! The whole sim seems to be running much smoother on my end. I ran today the same mission in 2.5.1OB as yesterday and the performance was much much smoother, stable 60FPS throughout no stutters, great job!.

[MrDieing]

If you lose your leader at 1 nm you should visit a doctor. Thats all I am going to say.

[finch]

it's me or now the zoom animation, when the mission start, in cockpit is removed but always start full zoomed back?

Yup, the dreaded zoom thingy seems to be gone. It did take a few years to fix, nut better late than never :D.
