Patch notes discussion thread 2022

Whoo hoo, new ammo belts for Ps and fixed cooling for the spit. Those were the main things I've been waiting for.

Terrain shadows to anything other than off still seem to have a circa 20FPS performance impact in VR.

What is this suppose to mean? If I change the folder name to "Cockpit_Mig-21bis", Cockpit liveries can't be changed anymore from the settings. The old "Mig-21_CP" folder still works.

so what was changed here? Does this mean you can boresight them with master arm safe or you have to be in sim or what? I always used to do it with master arm safe. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong now but i can't boresight them on the ground anymore.

 

• Fixed: Maverick boresighting on ground - no GND JETT ENABLE, no MASTER ARM SIM.

Edit: after further testing, I guess it means both have to be on to boresight now....

I'm getting "error 502 bad gateway" on both the patcher and the official website.

Weirdly not getting authorized first attempt (no modules). Seems to have worked 2nd attempt but it hanged  minute at ~"getting authorized". Never seen that before.

Successfully logged into Multiplayer (Hoggit training server), so that works.

Dammit. That have keep me "away" from DCS for a few weeks... My guess is that only be fixed when ED implement the new shadows coding. I think i read something about it but i can´t find it, if so i will post here the link.

"Added Pilot and CP/G first person view models with animations."

 

You should have started with this great news!

I know many people here (probably most pankace users) don't caat all for this feature, but to me it adds a lot to immersion. So, thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into this ED!

Hopefully life allows me to check it out tomorrow.

Yes, all the technicals with the 12.7 and 23mm now have the Insurgent crews modeled.

[Trooper117]

Just to confirm, this patch is only for the open beta version?

Anyone else noticed any change to VR performance? 
 

There’s so many of us hanging back on 2.7 given current OB performance deteriorations. 

[scommander2]

ETA for the stable version?  Thanks.

[sirrah]

Still didn't have time to check for myself. Did ED by any chance also fix the CPG seat position? (CPG now in center of the seat?)

For the limited MP time I had yesterday I feel it's a tiny bit better, I feel it again as it was on 2.7 at least of my end, also tested some SP mission to confirm fps were better. Mind you I have not tested shadows or global illumination cause that was killing my frames in previous patches and I can live without it.

I played a simple 1 v 1 ww2 singleplayer dogfight on the channel map and had pretty bad performance.

The change log for Open Beta is pretty substantial. Which always adds potential for new issues to be highlighted as part of the open beta process. How long it might take for these new and as yet unknown issues to be resolved, along with resolving already highlighted issues in 2.8 would seem at best an educated guess. I wouldn't expect an ETA at this stage.

No, CPG still sitting left….

Edit: I guess I was wrong. CPG position is fixed now with the latest OB

George says now some additional sentences. Just heard him only as CPG not as PLT.
