I have stopped playing till this is fixed (Also heard IL2 is better for WWII spotting.  I am going to give it a try)  I donate (Money and Modules for give aways) to a lot of youtube channels and discord for their DCS content to help promote DCS.  I have now canceled all DCS donations and will startup again when it is fixed. 

The Day the new patch came out to block the Improved Dot Mod.  Arguments and screaming was all over SRS.  Pilots being frustrated because they are calling for help and a bunch of the people would radio back they couldn't spot them.  The person was shot down and went on a rant about how bad people are flying this simulator.  It was so bad people had to switch channels.   Its things like this the ED team should be understanding.   The Normandy 2 Map is beautiful, and it brought back a lot of former players to play again only to say they wont join till the spotting issue is fixed.  Beyond Frustrating.  What will it take to have an issue that has been brought up over the years many times for them to actually take it seriously and fix it?  

 

 

We already have our first version internally of the improved dot mod built into the sim and ready for testing. It shouldn't be long. If you need a break to go play something else, then you are welcome to do it. We are working hard to always improve the sim, and will continue to do so. Thanks.

Crikey. ED get grief when they provide aircraft fixes ahead of core engine fixes. ED also get grief when they provide core engine fixes ahead of aircraft fixes. Lose-lose it seems.

I hear you, but I can only update the patch status post when we are ready to patch, and as you can see today things changed at the last minute during final checks.  We need to be flexible and I h

Friday's newsletter mentioned improved (night) lighting of Viper/Hornet in the current OB.

The patch changelog didn't have anything about aircraft lighting though. What did change concerning lighting?
Has anyone on Open Beta discovered any improvments to aircraft lighting? Maybe (hopefully) light visibility distance finally improved?
I'm on stable, so can't test myself.

According to the night lighting: I don't know if it's already reported or not, but with MT version in SP the P51 Caucasus Batumi takeoff instant action (evening time) has weird lighting glitches in VR. The left / right visuals of the lights of Batumi's buildings are not in sync, plus the left eye lighting changes upon head movement. This bug doesn't exist in the ST version.

I have no idea if it's plane / map related, I experienced this type of bug only on that map with this plane. Dear @BIGNEWY shall I make a new thread for this bug or is it enough?

RAZBAM, ED, could you please not delay too much the F15E because for my part I'm starting to get saturated with all these videos related to this aircraft.... as if all the DCS community were only interested by this aircraft...🤨
I think that in terms of teasing, we can announce "good job well done"... and move on...😉

LOL  Was not my intention.  Just frustration .   My Fav part is the WWII modules and they are useless without the ability to spot basically anything.

It's tough because I really am enjoying the new Apache FM and 1200 ammo, but on the other hand, can't read the MFDs at 1080p without the dot mod.   Really looking forward to the internal version of the dot mod, it's gonna thoroughly change WW2 and make it so much more fun and accessible for everyone.

Latest patch made me finally quit DCS. There are so many things which are broken for years, players do excellent workarounds by editing files or making mods and then ED comes around kicking in all that work. Shaders folder is just the most recent thing happening. Finally fed up of investing so much time just to not know if i can still join servers after the next patch.

Looking forward to various alternatives to DCS which are on the horizon.

Name it whatever you want but rather it looks like a decision (which many have done long ago), and a wake up call to ED

User can't join a server because of the mod (modification of the game, not supported by devs) he himself installed.

The owner of the server allows pure clients only, which is his right and own decision.

User quits but yet still seeks attention on the forum.

Please, don't go.

thank you

I'm on stable, so can't test myself.

Just checked it, in the bright daylight.  The Hornet with its position and strobe lights on, still looks like a glowing orb from miles away. I'm not talking about the strobe flashing on and off. The strobe is actually invisible from distance, overpowered by a 'blend' of steady position lights, especially annoying in VR.

Dots or no dots... just tell the Hornet drivers to keep their ext. lights on and the spotting is no problem, even in bright daylight.

I responding to someone discounting the opinion of a newer account because of the age of the account. The comment was referring to "There are so many things which are broken for years" which is a factually true statement, regardless of the age of the account making it.

You know you don't have to be a member of this forum to play DCS? I'm guessing like with all games. The vast majority just plays the game and aren't members of any forums, discords or knitting groups related to the game.
