WolfK33 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well, either something happened with me while downloading the patch today, or the Tomcat is a lot more stable now. Everything seems "easier" now, but also a bit more "sterile" if you pardon my unprofessional language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=OPS=Slider Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I was waiting for someone to finally notice that the Tomcat has improved significantly in terms of stability and performance (loading times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzaiib Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yank on the stick at .9 mach and let me know what happens... then, after you respawn, let me know what happens when you yank on the stick at 250 kts... your feedback is welcomed, as I am at work.

HereThen Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 First thing I said yesterday to my RIO after liftoff. “Something changed, it is much easier to handle and trim” Later that night I tried a refuel and that succeeded almost without issues. Before I was unable to connect, nomather what I tried. Before the patch I didn’t had any performance issues but I wonder if I had some kind of input lag. Every control input feels a lot smoother now!

Donut Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hmm, interesting. Nothing was mentioned in the change log about FM adjustments. I won't be able to fly with the new patch until Monday but now I really can't wait to try it out! i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikkles Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The patch dramatically decreased loading times, especially for VR. Frame rates also increased significantly. Also when mistakenly keeping SteamVR on but launching DCS with VR off, the frame rates used to be like Flight Simulator II on my Apple //e. Now they approach 15fps (quit SteamVR and you're fine), and it shows how big an improvement the patch has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert31178 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Man the only thing I am noticing with the new patch is that 4 of us last night hard crashed to desktop, one right after the other, as we tried to engage two enemy planes, a MiG-29 and a MiG-31. As for better flying / more stable flying - how'd your first day go learning to drive a manual? The next? How about the third time? Were you getting better?

trindade Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Didn't noticed any changes in the Cat's FM but the loading times are much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you getting better? I don't know, you tel me :music_whistling:. Couldn't fly the F14 for almost a week due to work. First flight this week was after this patch and I noticed something has changed within my DCS and the F14. For me it seems my control input has become subtle. Before it felt clunky and laggy. Whatever happened on my system, I like the way the f14 feels to me now, except the CTD but that seems to be already fixed internally. Waiting for the HF.

Robert31178 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I mean, my third time driving a manual went a lot better than the first time lol.... As for the Cat, day one was atrocious, just as it was for me in Huey, Harrier, F-5, etc......yesterday was great, flew three real hops with a live RIO, hit targets, landed without breaking anything. The more time you spend on something the better you are gonna get. My point was that on your second flight you might have subconsciously been recalling some of Tomcats subtle quirks, and ipso facto, having a better feel for the plane, giving the impression that the FM might have changed for the better when it most likely is YOU who changed and flew better. I'll eat crow if HB comes out and says "ya, we changed that shit", but stickin' to my guns for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfK33 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 For me it was just a matter of a few minutes. I was flying, checked the forums between two flights, saw the patch was out and updated, continued flying and immediately thought that something was changed. Maybe if nothing changed with the flight model it has indeed something to do with performance, although that wasn´t bad before. But maybe in those few minutes some muscle-memory stuff or whatever kicked in, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfish Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Complete opposite for me. Before the patch I had no problems, just slightly long loadtimes to get into the Tomcat. Now dumps to desktop all the ****ing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadist_Cain Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Sounds low the flying differences folk are feeling are more related to the performance improvements and higher framerate, which can make the plane feel different. However the crashes are unbearable at the moment as I can't engage enemy fighters at all, 4ctds in a row, hope theres a hotfix soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the crashes are unbearable at the moment as I can't engage enemy fighters at all, 4ctds in a row, hope theres a hotfix soon. I also think it has something to do with something else then the FM (that for sure whould end up in the change log) but the F14 flies different for me 100%. I have had good FPS with the F14 (99-120) so it wasn’t those kind of performance issues I had. Control wise I never had a “touch” with the F14. Although the F18 and A10 are different aircraft I never had so much trouble getting a feeling for an aircraft then with the F14. It was actually driving me nuts. And without practise this week it couldn’t be related to me getting better. They managed to trim the memory usage down a lot so maybe my PC was struggeling on that part to keep up. Im also hosting a server so who knows what this does with input lag etc. Anyway, besides the lot of CTD’s we are heading in the right direction for me :joystick: Happy flying!
