I can't see any fix for the ground unit "go to waypoint order" This has lasted quite a few patches

Can't find the F-5 upgrade on steam

 

I'm not seeing it either.

 

Maybe it's a few hours late. Happens sometimes.

Is the fog a big performance hit, in VR?

[Melv428]

i just tested it in the Syria Map in VR with the OG Pimax Crystal and the Performance is very good. I didnt notice any FPS drops and i set a lot of dust/fog. I think its even better as before on the perfomance side. Dont know if they adjusted VR performance too or if its the new Pimax software update

F5 bought and first impressions of the cockpit are overall positive.

Is the landing gear lever supposed to be transparent? 

 

I don't think it's right. Now it looks like the metal rod is sticking out of it. The material properties are not right. Also, what are those hard lines doing there when you look at it? It seems like the material properties are so bad, that the renderer messes it even more.

But yeah... it was an instant buy for me as well. Now, fingers crossed, this will not be a problem for the next years or so. Plus limited skins, etc. The problem is, it's much easier to see what went wrong with the upgrade, what we lost, etc.. than what we gained.

So far, I really LIKED the "dust storm" and much less fog. I think the "dust storm" is the most important addition to such maps as Afghanistan, Sinai, and the Persian Gulf..  But I am in doubt about fog. Why? Perhaps it will not be so noticeable on the map of Normandy or Cola, but on the map of the Caucasus it is too clearly visible that the fog is incredibly homogeneous, it is so perfectly homogeneous that the feeling of artificiality does not leave you the whole flight

Well I don't know what I didn't do or did wrong, because I tried the new yellow vests on super carrier and once the plane started I asked to turn off the pneumatic group and he told me
impossible, same thing to disconnect the power supply and even the wheel chocks he always says it's impossible
in addition some planes are on the deck and remain without moving with the directors who have their arms raised for hours (hello cramps) what's happening?
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME

Fog is flickering quite a bit at the end of its render distance. Apparently this is known, but more examples are useful, so here is one.

This mission has some fog and a single GM slot.
To repro, load mission, zoom in on the bullseye positions a bit, and use ctrl+F11 to go into free camera. 
Move the camera altitude to 20,000ft or so and look west (out to sea).
You will see the flickering at the edge of the fog render distance.

I’m also getting flickering with certain settings. At the moment, I’m Running DCS with DLSS enabled and it seems to be mitigated by disabling it, if you can take the performance hit.

This is in VR, with a Pimax Crystal OG in a 4090.

Fog on the fjords looks great.

To my knowledge, yes! It has red a "lightbulb" in it.

Only one downside for F-5E is that currently a lot of skins have been cut. For example, for the USA we only have 3 skins from now. A little pity.

More liveries are coming, and a new texture template will be available soon. 

We will likely do a livery competition once the template is available. 

thank you

The antenna on top of the fuselage is a problem here. Many countries with F-5E do not fly the version with the antenna, therefore this addidtion breaks the realism.

I wish ED had either given the option to remove/disable it from the remastered model, or treated the module like A-10C II with two different models so that users can choose which varient to fly.

New users to DCS are now stuck with the antenna in the remastered module, and all the previous skins will have problem.

You have to see it first to see HOW transparent and strange it is now.

The antenna can be disabled based on the skins. You can already see this in the game. The aggressor skins do not have the antenna installed while others do.

@BIGNEWY How about service hatches in the new F-5? I see the shortcut there, I tried it hot and cold, but it doesn't seem to do anything. But I've seen them open in the Remaster video (12s). Is it coming later or am I doing something wrong? It's a little thing, but it would be a pleasure, of course. I guess that's why it's in the video.

If the capability is there, then wonderful. Problem solved. Where exactly do you disable that?

Thanks!

AH-64 still calculate routelength incorrect, ka-50 gnss error still out on order of magnitude

Spoiler

 

 

F-5 old variant cockpit seems to me more physically correct, new variant metallic parts needs individual cubemaps or at least draw reflections through ambient occlusion mask or idk, currently its not looking good honestly
