Just wondering, did today's Open Beta patch incorporate in part, or similar to, any of Kegetys "Shaders mod for better VR performance"?

Did not see anything of such mentioned in today's beta change-log, but, typically, not all changes make it into the DCS World change log. :D

 

I hope not as not everybody has issues with vr performance and would hate to be forced a downgrade in graphic fidelity when not needed

[D4n]

The patch isn't out YET, right?

[MonnieRock]

Landing gear drag lowered in patch?

 

Wags Mini Update 07-13-2018, 04:42 PM

Wags

Many new items coming next week:

 

1- Aircraft no longer slide on the carrier deck, at any carrier speed.

2- STT track will not switch lock uncommanded.

3- RADAR SIL (radar silence) and STBY mode has been implemented. See image.

4- RWR display logic has been further improved, with critical threat lines added. See image.

5- Option on ME to select single or ripple release (was not in fact merged for last update)

6- DUD cue added for when HT or fuze setting is below current aircraft AGL. See image.

7- RWS page SET and weapon and count added when a weapon is in priority. See image.

8- Night Vision Goggles (NVG) added. See image.

9- Instrumented Carrier Landing System (ICLS) added. See image.

10- Landing gear drag lowered.

 

 

 

 

Was item 10 " Landing gear drag lowered." in DCS 2.5.2 Open Beta Update 7 ?

 

Happy Simming,

beside the hornet update, these two caught my attention:

 

All terrains are updated.

Clouds generator changed to match Mission Editor settings more correctly

"as options" ;)

 

No, there hasn't been any indication that it's being included by ED.

Yeah, clouds now appear at desired (configured) altitude even if its a low one (like 900ft)...it didnt work before, nice to see this working again after sooo many time.

 

Btw, am I the only one who lost MANY key bindings in my warthog for the Hornet (at least) with this update??:huh:...never had this before.

 

Edit:Ok, Im not the only one.

Any details on the terrains update? What does it mean?

[D4n]

Anyone understand why in HTTP download it says ~35 GB, but below that in "DL Size:" it says ~11 GB?

[Silver_Dragon]

unpack size.

[D4n]

Oh wow, 11 GB can transform into 35 GB, that's some serious crazy compression then! :)

[ebabil]

this can't be serious. my whole keybindings have gone :(

[imacken]

this can't be serious. my whole keybindings have gone :(

 

Me too. Well, at least the Hornet bindings have gone. Some other are OK.

[NineLine]

Its a danger with early access and them adding new systems and such, key bindings can drastically change.

[wrl11]

I like the changes to the hornet. Much easier to trim AOA now without the big gear drag. So far radar seems better. Nice that clouds match ME.

[Vitormouraa]

Hornet is still drifting like crazy on the Stennis deck. Or it wasn't supposed to be fixed in this patch?

[ikonane]

When does steam users get the patch? 1-2 days later?

[NineLine]

I would like to know what that means as well.

 

Nothing exciting, all under the hood, file structure type stuff.

So, no improvements we can actually see?

[Emmy]

Was there any optimization dine to the PG map such that we don't get the "inland sea" effect with dry land needing a few beats to render?

[Reflected]

I haven't been able to fire up DCS since the update. Can't wait to see if the ME problems have been fixed. Fingers crossed.

[thrustvector]

anyone having control issues since the update, most keybindings have disappeared and track ir not working properly?

[imacken]

Bindings being lost has been reported on in a couple of other threads, mostly about the Hornet.

Oh crap, updated this morning but won't have a chance to fly again until later tomorrow or Saturday. Guess I could just launch it in non-VR mode and check the bindings right quick.

 

Edit: Yep looks like I lost some bindings on the F/A-18C.

 

I also notice that the footprint for DCS on my gaming SSD increased by almost 6GB since the update.

I wonder why that would be?
