a whole lot of bugs

[JOKERACTS]

current release version 2.5.2.20143 still with a whole lot of bugs.

 

bugs that can be fix by player:

China 's Su-27 and J-11A cockpit language still use English after switched on to use native betty, can be fix with manually edit the speech.lua, by adding

"['J-11A'] = base.country.id.CHINA," and "['Su-27'] = base.country.id.CHINA,", this will turn Su-27 to use Chinese language in Russian Su-27,

 

A-10A & A-10C both sound sdef and wave files missing, manually recover from the sound mods. The game updated to use new A-10 engine sound, TF34GE100, no longer use A10BackEngine, frontengine or aroundengine.

 

F/A-18C sound bug, back engine and afterburner sound for back hemisphere goes full front and back hemisphere. It did not follow the sdef direction, cause by inverted cone_inner_angle for afterburner.sdef and F404GE_back.sdef sound can be fix by editing the sdef file with inverted angle, default was 60, inverted will be 300 (I am using 270) to fix it.

 

Su-25A, Su-25T, Su-25TM using A-10 sound, can be fix with reassign sdef to wav file with different name. Still got bug with unassigned sound being attached with all Su-25s 's back engine sound, it was loud and un-adjustable.

 

All Ka-50 campaign mission will show friendly Russian Mi-24 with Georgian skin. can be fix with reload the mission in mission editor and re-select the default skin for the Mi-24. (need to edit the whole campaign mission)

 

KA-50 cockpit button light indication was inverted (for stock cockpit), off became on, on became off. Can fix with cockpit mod.

 

To fix the ship 's trail wake problem, edit all the ships 's LAU files edit and set "GT.Tail_Width = 0.0" (information from crazyeddie from another thread), but the China PLA ship 's LUA cannot be edit.

 

RCS for all planes need to be tune back to as is, can be manually adjust according to the specification in PlaneConst.LUA

 

RCS value:

B-52 = 100

B-1 , Mig-31 = 10

F-18C, Mig-21 = 3,

M2000 = 2

F-16A, Mig-29 = 5

F-16C = 1.2

Tornado = 8

Su-27 = 15

Su-33 = 4-5 ? or 15+ ? (similar like Su-30MKI ?)

Su-30MKI = 4

F-15C = 25

F-14 = 30-50 ? (source said 100x F/A-18E, much bigger then F-15C)

 

Su-25TM only can mount 1x R77, edit the Su-25M.LUA to add 1x more.

 

AI Su-25TM cannot use R-77, edit the Su-25M.LUA to add RADAR = "Kopyo", but it turn out AI Su-25TM will fire the R-77 even without Kopyo radar pod.

 

edm json model files missing:, could be fix by creating an empty edm json with notepad ++, not yet try.

note: must edit the LUA files with "Notepad ++" to prevent corruption.

 

Bug fixed in BETA

 

J-11A using generic front engine sound, where Su-27 use 2 type of front engine sound, different front engine sound for J-11A and Su-27, The Su-27 sound better, incomplete J-11A.LUA sound programming. Still need to attach it for sound CPU hardware processing, the Su-27 's sound was well processed by CPU hardware.

 

AI Su-27, J-11A, flying with grid (take off from ram start) Su-33 ?

 

AI cannot take off from carrier (latest bug after updated)

 

AI F/A-18C stucked at parking on Stennis (slide) ?

 

Sound bug:

 

Ka-50 heliport radio, after took off, radio stay at abort takeoff selection, cannot radio for inbound and request for landing.

 

Control bugs:

A-10C navigation light missing, player control switch not working, but work with AI.

 

AI bugs:

AI AV-8B wrong landing on Tarawa

AI Su-25T/Su25TM cannot use VikhrM to attack air target.

AI AJS-37 cannot use RB-05A to attack air target.

AI Ka-50 cannot use Vikhr to attack AH-64D, can hit the rest of target with bad hit chances.

 

Landing gear light alignment:

Su-24MR, Su-27, J-11A, Su-33, Mig-21bis, Mig-29A, Mig-29S, Mig-29G, Mig-15bis, F-86F, F-16A, F-16C

 

landing gear light bulb missing:

No navigation light:

No landing gear light:

rendering bug:

Navigation light and afterburner light reflection (visible in intake duct) for Su-33, Mig-29 need to tweak

Track replay with major faulty replay.

 

Su-33 nose gear steering switch was inverted with normally close stay at opened position.

 

Ka-50 turbine engine remain running after switched off the Fuel Pump.

 

Ka-50 only use "Around" sound, I suggest to add "frontengine" sound to increase realism.

 

Ka-50 Arbis computer 's start-up Bios was showing English languages in Russian Cockpit, I remember the old time it should be in Russian languages too.

 

Pilot log book disappear.

some more bugs.... and more

[David OC]

There is a lot of moving parts in DCS unlike many other games, DCS just upgraded big time and will again real soon with more problems perhaps? I'm ok as long as there are not to many show stoppers and going by your list, there little annoying things, such as the lighting or sound if you like going to 3rd person view and taking pictures etc. There are bigger things to fix/ make better like AI. It's an ongoing push here to be the best flight sim, DCS has come a longgggg way the last few years and I'm liking where it's headed.:)

[JOKERACTS]

updated with more fixable by player.

[JOKERACTS]

overall for current release version 2.5.2.20143, a positive improvement, sound engine and structure fixed to use those sound previously don't use. need to remap/re-tweak most of sound mods.

[JOKERACTS]

some more bugs

 

AI Ka-50, Su-25T Su-25TM all bug with vikhr/vikhrM cannot attack air target.

AI AJS-37 cannot use RB-05A to attack air target too.

 

more edm json files missing.

[jimcarrel]

it boggles the mind to consider the number of lines of code that make all this gel together. I find it amazing to consider the advancements that have been made and only this relatively short list of noticeable bugs.(not a complete list,, of course) One should give ED a wee bit of slack... at least.

[Sniper175]

instead of taking offense to jokers list maybe be appreciative he took the time to inform the community and list fixes us the user base can make. Not only that i think a community wide list should be made so the DEVs can see it, as it may aid them in bug squashing.

[JOKERACTS]

latest updated with more fix and unfix able

Can't speak for other ED team members, but I certainly take notice of all reports on faulty missions, as I am able to help in that area.

 

A lot of issues listed in the forums I already know about, a lot I don't, so it is always helpful when anyone takes the time to list them.

 

With all issues, it is a matter of priorities, all problems can't be fixed instantly and require dedication and man hours to correct.

 

The better the report with clear evidence of the issue is very important.

 

So thank you to Joker and all that contribute to making the DCS flight sim a better product.

 

Regards, Ian.
