My performance tests are almost identical to the last 2.7.7 patch. No improvement for me.

My best guesstimate for the lack of the usual patch thread "F5 F5 F5! OMG! I'm going crazy!" hype, would be:

Most are holding their breath on the AH-64D release and most know that won't be included in this patch 😅

 

Maybe they're just more or less stuck in bed thanks to myocarditis and the kidneys kinda taking a break due to Covid invaccination like me (I can't tell you how much this sucks, and probably shouldn't because of rules *g*)... but I guess, I need a fast horse now for being honest and truthful. Oh, wait. I am. Usually... rdlaugh.png

  Jokes aside...

Patience, fact is development takes time, the HIND is already in good shape and more work and tweaks to come. The team are not machines, but they are working as hard as they can. 

thanks

I think it was in a good state on release already and you guys keep improving it, albeit slowly. But to be fair, I see nothing wrong there. As for myself, I just wait for Petrovich to finally get both a voice and a HOTAS. He's literally a mute keyboard only wannabe right now, but he's doing fairly well if you stay in the back seat dealwithit.png

Good things take time though and the module is totally usable. I mean, aren't we all waiting for the Apache anyway? rainbowdashwink.png

And everything that isn't in this patch, might drop with the next - I was expecting Tomcat fixes, especially to the AP, and the Viggen stuff fsgrin.png

Well, I'll spend some time in the Viper then, most probably. And trying to troubleshoot my underwhelming WMR performance... icon_question.png

Speaking of VR, in one of the last 2 updates you guys fixed the alignment of the hands and the head on the G2 (Rift/Quest hands are a tad off angle still, but not as much as the G2 was), which really made me happy. Also noticed that I can map the controllers since then (though it wouldn't register the ministick press), but I couldn't do that in the Tomcat for some reason and the UI Layer mappings weren't taken in that module either. But I really have to thank for the work done here, it's clearly heading into the right direction. That stuff should have been on the patch notes... anyway, it's always great to find such improvements anyway.

DCS: Combined Arms by Eagle Dynamics

  • Added the ability to hide hints for JTAC by pressing LCtrl + B.
  • Added 2 skins for russian soldiers with AK.
  • Added Min/Max altitude restriction for AAA in ME.

 

If I'm not mistaken, you've actually added 2 "new" infantry models, not liveries.

Still unable to update.

Yeah...I actually have considered updating (several times) 🙂

Not sure if this is a smoking gun or a red herring, but it looks a little as if DCS tried to update to 2.7.8 in the stable aka release branch, even though your dcs_variant.txt says openbeta.

Can you use the command line again and try specifically to update the OpenBeta branch? Should be:

DCS_Updater.exe update @openbeta

Sad to see that the c802 Jeff missiles are still unusable. Update after update, ED don't care about this bug.

Isn't that more on Deka, not ED?

Well, its weapons, so its ED ... thats at least what's Deka claims now for a few months 😞

Was also hoping for that fix.

Looking at this thread, it seems this issue is more exclusive to the JF-17.

And weapons still largely seem to be in the hands of 3rd parties in terms of things like models (both flight models and 3D), integration on aircraft etc, it only seems to be missiles using ED's new Fox 3 API where they've actually taken control of them so to speak.
