Lonecrow66 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm sure its low on their priority scale.. But how can we enjoy the sim unless we can watch all the battles at our leisure after the mission? :) --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!

macedk Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 +1 And yes record the hole thing. On that note, that the beta team is asking for a track file reproducing a possible bug. But how can we reproduce a possible problem with a data set that is not complete ??

Lonecrow66 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 External Mission Editor How about an external mission editor outside the program? Like at home I'm usually flying when I have time. But when I'm at work I'd love to be able to keep a window open in the background where I can just edit missions or create campaigns without all the overhead of the actual program. Is this even possible? --- May your takeoffs equal your landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonecrow66 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah but I had a question involved too.. wasn't sure if you could just run an executable etc and maybe it already works outside the main program.. --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!

But how can we reproduce a possible problem with a data set that is not complete ?? So Rewind would be nice but a complete track file is important imho. :) More like, how can we give them a track file when 1) They usually break after the first 30 minutes 2) After the first 30 minutes they are already too big to post on the forums? Just finished a mission... checked the track file, 51 MBs. Most of the bugs I get are hard to reproduce and occur in the middle of something like that. As far as rewind goes, it sounds easy, but going actually backwords would probably require a complete re-write of their track code. I donno about a feature to jump backwards to a earlier spot and continue forward from there. That would probably ALSO require an extensive re-write. The way that track files work I believe is record things like keystrokes and movements, and then run the game with those inputs... so there is no way for it to know right off hand what the game was doing 10 minutes previous or 10 minutes in the future, it's not set... now, what they could maybe do is add a save point every like minute that you could jump back to.

Bluduh Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Snapshot "Reset" points (or "save" points) is an effective way to do this. But it's difficult to analyse a full-blown simulation like this one to determine *which* variables in the simulation code must be in the snapshot. Saving the entire simulation state is usually prohibitively large. But, as a minimum, you have to save every state variable that will be used in the computation of the next simulation frame. This usually consists of global variables (but not all), and some local variables as well. This is usually small enough to take a snapshot every few minutes or so. These reset snapshots along with the recorded interactions (switch hits, control inputs, etc) that ED already records could allow you to reset to another time forward or backward that you have a snapshot for, and then play the interactions from that point forward into the simulation. If you have ever looked at X-Plane, Austin Meyers and his crew have an excellent playback feature that actually has a slider that you can drag backwards or forwards to any previous point in your current flight and continue the simulation from that point. But X-Plane is just simulating your own plane plus maybe a couple of extra flight models. The DCS sims are simulating your ownship plus possibly a full threat environment complete with threat platforms, weapons, radiators, and countermeasures. That's a *lot* of data to analyse. This is a good topic for the wish list. I'm sure ED is currently concentrating all of their resources on completing the efforts for release. But it would sure be nice. It's great fun to play back your missions and see what *really* happened. Right now, you have to fire up a track, and then carefully use cntr-Z to speed things up to get to the action part. But not too fast or things will get out of sync. Reset and playback is a valuable part of the simulation experience both for "training" simulators and "study" sims like ours. Maybe ED will consider this after the simulation is "release" ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaster454 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Beta 6 question Will the input parser be included in Beta 6? Also, will the scrolling of the first column in the controls dialog (under Options) be fixed so it is like BS (first column doesn't scroll)? I saw no mention of these in the change lists.

-NFlight- Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Random Failures Can you guys move the decimal point a little in the random failures code?

jazjar Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hello?! Remember my post about the DPICM artillery bomblet rounds? I think the current HE rounds are extremely ineffective, so if you're going to model artillery, why not model DPICM? I know it kills frames, but just like the GAU-8A and CBUs that can be fixed.
