[RESOLVED] Slat position not synced over multiplayer

[Nealius]

Minor nitpick, but considering that all other modules with slats have theirs animated over multiplayer, it's strange that the Mirage doesn't also have its slats synced. Perhaps not the best screenshot, as I'm not sure under what specific conditions the slats come out, but while watching a Mirage in F2 over multiplayer or from server tracks, the slats never once pop out.

Note: There's a max of 32 animations sync'ed over the net, all 32 are assigned, so Razbam can only add slates by making compromises i.e. there are separate left and right assignments for the air brakes and intakes, making one pair a "joint" animation would free up a argument but might mess with the damage model i.e. still appear when only one wing is missing/destroyed.

 

I'm not sure how noticeable the intake animation is in multiplayer, perhaps removing that would be an acceptable compromise ?

That's an interesting tidbit. No wonder online animations are so janky across all modules. Is there really a performance difference between 32 and 50? Or 75, even 100?

No idea, just one of the ways DCS World shows it age, there's always a chance the number increased with the recent Huey/Hind multi-crew updates but I don't recall ED ever mentioning it.
