(and many others aswell probably) To be honest anyone using a 250gb SSD for DCS has been on borrowed time for a while. The 500gb is a minimum. The next pc build I do will have a 1tb Nvme drive dedicated for DCS. SSD's don't operate at their best when much more than half full. That's just the nature of the beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippis Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Second favourite thing I just noticed (that isn't even in the patch notes): the double-bind warning signs that even tell you where the conflicting bind is, rather than colour the entire row red in the most unhelpful manner. 1 ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

-0303- Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Got something I specifically asked for. Click menu to sort by plane type, airfield type, country etc ... Find all all spots featuring one plane. Small new bug (slight annyonce level). The Ruler is off while selecting 2nd click if screen resolution isn't the same as DCS resolution. Ruler is correct after releasing 2nd click.

(and many others aswell probably) Daniel, you just need to create a symbolic link for the _downloads folder to your other slower drive. Also, tis patch does not require even close to 480GB, not sure where you got that from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and many others aswell probably) My 240GB is fine with DCS so you're wrong. DCS is not one size fits all. Depending on downloaded modules it grows. You just ignored the problem until it hit you. Like others say there are methods to deal with it for now but it's not ED to blame for. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning you need an extra 50GB of space to download and install the patch, this is temporary though and is deleted afterwards. With that said, even a tiny change to a terrain map probably means the entire map needs to be downloaded, which is why this patch is so big. 1 Specs: Win10, i5-13600KF, 32GB DDR4 RAM 3200XMP, 1 TB M2 NVMe SSD, KFA2 RTX3090, VR G2 Headset, Warthog Throttle+Saitek Pedals+MSFFB2 Joystick.

There used to have an option to download and unpack on an other drive through an autoupdate_settings.cfg file. However it is no longer working. Hardware maker must really love DCS.... The solution found was to uninstall a few maps, update and then reinstall them. That's pretty ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmirkingGerbil Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Fantastic update!! So much to "unpack" here (pun intended). So far I have ripped off my wingtips in a steep bomb dive in my P-47, heard the R-2800 sputter and struggle as oil and water leaked out, and watched my Methanol Water injection slowly reduce in efficacy and power output. Notice the nice stippling and skin peel from bullet impacts, among so many other things like "cowling buffet". New ME units look fantastic!!! looking at models from 2012 next to these beauties is a real eye opener as to how much work you guys are doing. Thank you, thank you! Pointy end hurt! Fire burn!!

ouky1991 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Great work on the latest update ED! Viper SPI, stutter on the WWII DM and lots of other fixes. I think there's even better performance on the Channel. But What I absolutely love about this patch is the new spotting. Looks great, please don't change it.
