Whatever comes with this patch better be relatively bug free and with important changes (ok the two things are practically impossible together).

I cannot fathom the community's reaction to:
"Here's the patch you've been waiting for nearly two months: fixes the second and third rivets' shadow on the right aileron of the JF-17. Enjoy!"
 

 

Those shadows have buged me for a year now. And don't even own the Jeff, how could dcs call themselves a simulator with those bad shadows!

 

Anyhow woke up, checked patch status,  no update... sad noises.

It must be something significant like MT or DLSS.

You guys are getting off-topic again...

You kidding right they just announced MT last November, so I wouldn’t count my chickens just yet, I think there going to release the F15E

Not really. more like november 2021 (october actually).

Well lock the thread then. Patch is zeitgeist at the moment, I'm sure the discussion will pop up somewhere else.

Not sure how much you can read into this

Not much I'd say. I guess the beta2 branch is closed anyway, probably they just updated it but nothing says they're going to release it soon.

It seems there will be an option to run DCS with or without MT.

I'm guessing DCS with all 3rd party planes / maps / campaigns and community mods, can't be reliably tested (end to end) and many people will have problems,

so ED will introduce MT to let devs/modders gradually bugfix their work and a fallback for those that are not able to play because things broke.

This seems like a sensible assumption, agreed.

Sounds like a great move from ED.

I think the post was just hidden and made public today after the patch status updated. It had no likes before this morning.

You didn't. That post was invisible to us regular forum users until an hour ago or so...

[MAXsenna]

Haha! Thanks guys. Didn't consider that.
Well, I'm off to get beers now, might be a long weekend and I changed my plans.

Cheers, happy Friday to all!

Are there any downsides to MT if I have a CPU with few cores (Like an old quad core)?
While MT can improve performance on a CPU with multiple cores, it may not provide significant benefits on a CPU with few cores. In fact, it could even lead to decreased performance in some cases.

Better wait and see but not very optimistic info for me. And my quad is not old!

let me know how you get on later. 

[Rufuz64]

Steam User here. Since I'm launching DCS without SteamVR because of OpenComposite, is there any chance I can run MT even though I can't use the Steam "launch option"?
