I don't know how you fix that, but it does break the immersion when his emotions are flailing all over the place. Sent from my Samsung Chromebook Plus using Tapatalk This is done on purpose, because it is two different mindsets and over time calls like "240" etc could be mistaken as directional calls if done on the same level. Think of it like him taking a moment of breath when he calls out speeds, while gearing it up when calling the bandit to get your attention. I can see how not everyone might like that, and I've been pondering it for a long time back and forth, but ultimately found it to be the best solution. For those to whom it appears a bit jarring, I think and hope that you will get used to it in not too long a time. It is a concept of relief, which is also used with the comic relief intermissions of his like "piece of candy" etc. - just on a more frequent basis. We tried to time the intervals such though, that it fits into moments of "taking a breath". Lastly having the speed calls on high intensity like the directional calls, would just have him scream all the time, which over time, believe me, becomes annoying and also immersion breaking, because no one is on 180 kmh all the time.

Saber2243 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I just want to say thank you so much for fixing the AIM-54 and AIM-7 guidence, it is soooo nice to have missiles that function as expected. There are still some random desync issues, and the AI still go defensive for TWS launches, but the missiles do what they are supposed to and it makes a world of difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i had made the bug report over a month ago i would guess i'm on their ignore list but i did not open that thread... If this sounds like a rant - it isn't. I just would appreciate some sort of feedback on that topic.

Hummingbird Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 My two notes for the F-14B: 1) Still noticably underperforming in Ps=0 (STR) 2) Maneuver devices still don't deploy starting at M 0.58 as they should (won't come out till you're at least as low as M 0.51 atm) Issue number 1 isn't a surprise, as there was no mention of any change here in the patch notes, however number 2 is a surprise as I recall Creason saying he corrected it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesomejlee Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Tonight a bunch of guys from the wing (vCSG-3) had our Friday Night Fight... All the Tomcats (A and B) would freeze on spawn around ~50% of the time, requiring a hard restart to fix. I flew maybe 8 times, had the freeze 3 times. Others had more freezes with similar amounts of flights. Seems intermittent. This is on Caucuses, just an empty map with maybe 20 jets total spawnable, no more than 2 in the air at a time. RIOs would randomly freeze as well when the jet spawned. Edit: We have NO mods that affect the Tomcat.

I had to copy and change the loadout(ME) to replace the AIM-7M with AIM-7MH, hitting start(ME) resulted in my first DCS crash after updating to 2.7 (last one was a couple months ago because of a F-18/Harpoon bug). But after restarting DCS setting everything up again in the ME that missile(AIM-7MH) was tracking and killing the Mig-29S. Attached the DCS.log from the crash, this happend only once so far, it looks like DCS had some problems loading F-14 rio asset stuff.

I will test against the Su-24m now(part of my CAP training mission). But it still is strange why the AIM-7M is missing against ECM capable targets in the F-14 but if the missile is fired from an F-15C or F-18 it will hit the ECM capable target. EDIT: The AIM-7MH also worked against Su-24M and TU-95 but unfortunately DCS crashed again on my second try to test(same mission). Considering this only happend with the F-14 and funny way only with the -7MH so far, earlier tests with the -7M went without crash, but could be coincidence. dcs2.log Edited April 17, 2021 by unknown Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
