Gun sight ( Level 5 pipper and funnel) are freezing and jumping to new position, like bad refresh rate

This started to happen with 2.9. Looks like the FCR does not update the flight path of the locked aircraft. When it detects a change it just jumps into place.

I am not sure if it happens all the time, but when youre chasing a bandit the updates are smaller and the lag becomes more obvious.

Its at the end of track. Sorry I cant isolate it in a single player mission to the lack of time. I just do what I always do. Stop playing so the issue is at the end of the track and make a video of it.

Hi Darkman, 

I am unable to reproduce seems ok here, could it have been network lag? 

The track replay does not show F1 view for me when I try it sadly. 

thanks

Could it have been caused by the stuttering that was fixed in today's hotfix? Are you still getting it, if that doesn't fix it, it's like ping/desync as I've had this exact behavior with desync and lag as Newy said.

I also (and still, even after the latest update) have this "5 fps pipper" and find it quite distracting. It always happens, even in non multiplayer. Also, I see the same thing in the F-18.

If its still in SP then it'll be in MP for sure as well. Any chance you can save a track file? I know that ED likes SP track files, but I just play MP so I cant just redo a dogfight when it happened.

This is a track I recorded just now from a little demo I threw together in the ME. HTH to demonstrate "the jaggies" of the pipper movement.

I watched the new Wags F16 update video. Although I would not expect him to mention that issue in a video, the next update seems around the corner. Fingers crossed that it will adress the issue.

But for now. Nope. No news, keep on interpolating between the pipper jumps in your mind... and pray its not getting worse with the next update lol.

Hi Darkman, Do you get the issue in offline mode or just multiplayer? I tried 2 other servers with low ping and it was still jumping around.

Go to the post of  ams999 27th October. He has a single player track file that shows the issue offline too. Might not be playing back any more though, DCS OB version is higher now. I play MP only, but I can only tell its not on your end. ED has to fix it.
