Naval ops still a disaster in MP...for the last 10 years

[BaD CrC]

That must be my 3rd or 4th thread over the last ten years. Wether it is spawning, taking off or landing on aircraft carriers or ships in general, MP for us choppers have always been a nightmare (don t fly fw so I don t know if you guys have the same problems). Now the supercarrier is coming, I wonder if things will finally be improved since the same issues would not be very well accepted for a paid module.

Issues we still have today:

- impossible to spawn on the aircraft carrier without spawning on another chopper and blowing up. Starting cold from parking leave us only the elevator for 4 choppers, need to start up, move away then wait for he next chopper to start up....

- moving aircraft carrier or worse a turning aircraft carrier/ lha will make the choppers slip out of the deck. Desync will also happen where players will be seen landing on invisible ship.

- moving ships disappear under certain view angles when flying above, leaving only the wake visible.

- landing on fixed or moving ship ends sometimes for some of the MP pilots in an uncontrolled slid rearward. Either you pull the collective and take off or crash in the sea. Not happening for all players all the time, it s random apparently.

- i keep the best for the end but the tarawa, a helicopter carrier, is totally unusable now in mp for helicopters as spawning would mean falling into the sea.

How it it that, since the beginning of DCS world, ships ops never worked for us? That s a long time to address bugs.And now a ship paid module is coming. will we be heard?

Thanks.

Hi BaD CrC

 

 

- impossible to spawn on the aircraft carrier without spawning on another chopper and blowing up. Starting cold from parking leave us only the elevator for 4 choppers, need to start up, move away then wait for he next chopper to start up....

 

Being worked on, not a simple problem, partially fixed internally.

 

 

- moving aircraft carrier or worse a turning aircraft carrier/ lha will make the choppers slip out of the deck. Desync will also happen where players will be seen landing on invisible ship.

 

Being worked on, again not a simple problem and high priority for super carrier.

 

- moving ships disappear under certain view angles when flying above, leaving only the wake visible.

 

Ship wake issue is reported.

 

- landing on fixed or moving ship ends sometimes for some of the MP pilots in an uncontrolled slid rearward. Either you pull the collective and take off or crash in the sea. Not happening for all players all the time, it s random apparently.

 

Being worked on, again not a simple problem, lowering RPM when on the deck will help here

 

- i keep the best for the end but the tarawa, a helicopter carrier, is totally unusable now in mp for helicopters as spawning would mean falling into the sea.

 

Reported to RAZBAM being worked on.

 

All of these issues have been reported, some are high priority and complicated issues, when they are fixed they will be in the change log.

 

Thanks

I especially find the spawning issues on the carrier incredibly frustrating, with aircraft not spawning where they should, spawning on each other, exploding on spawn, ... :(

 

Just some recent experiences I've made with this issue:

I really hope this issue has high priority.

Supercarrier EA without the mp spawn bug fixed would be not so great.

Indeed, I really trust ED that they get this issue sorted for the Supercarrier, otherwise the entire module would not be of much use to me.

Thanks Bignewy for replying. I am sure these issues are not trivial to solve, but I have seen them since I started flying mp on dcs and that’s back in 2008.

I understand, Nineline and I do our best to make sure everything is reported to the team, and chase up reports.

 

If there is any change on any of these issues it will be in a future changelog.

 

You can PM me at any time also

 

Thanks
