Tracks crash ?

[dureiken]

Hi

I read some post about that but it's still not corrected or do I have a local problem ?

Almost 9 of 10 track DCS record are corrupted : I go in the ground maybe 15 or 20 min after take off, where my flight was 1h or 2h long.

Is that a bug ? or a local problem ?

 

thanks

It's a well known problem, which is many, many years old and seems to require a major rewrite of the whole track recording and playback system. Developers are aware, but it's not on top priority list, so it's most likely not going to be corrected anytime soon.

It's also a "local problem" to a small extent, because tracks reliability depends not only on module, but player's hardware as well. Thus your experiences with playback of chosen airplane and mission might differ from someone else's experience with the same combo but on different PC.

Don't try to save offline tracks of long missions and don't use time acceleration - both increase a probability of track corruption. Also, tracks are not always backwards-compatible with new DCS version number (and if game update brings some flight model changes, they become non-compatible by definition).

I've read that starting a server on your PC and connecting to it is a good workaround of the problem, because apparently online tracks are somewhat more reliable. Never tried it, though.

content creators use server method and do scenes like a theatre movie. movie creators do not film the movie in one run. it is little bits at a time and lots of it gets left on the editing room floor so to speak. think of all the mixing of animation and real film nowadays. green screens etc. DCS content creators are truly artists that are sometimes taken for granted.
