Patch Note Discussion December 2024

Where can I find the Tomcat Changelog? 

 

What's the difference between 1 and 2 pixel spotting dots?

[Esac_mirmidon]

The size of the dot in pixels on your screen

This is the first time I've seen contacts on my monitor.. As it turns out, I can only see contacts with the 2 pixel option, even though I'm using 1080 for my 36 inch monitor.. But what about the reflection slider in the cockpit? I tried it on Jeff and the slider doesn't work.

Please post a bug report with a mod less track if you can. I won't be able to update for another week. The sooner it gets reported, the better. Also please take a look at

Last year several updated models(S3, B52, B1) was released. Some were disappointed these didn't match the vidoes shown. Turned out they super high def models was supposed to come as a paid pack together with some super high quality ground assets) these seem to now have come out for free. Which is a fantastic gesture from ED.

Oh that goes hard, thanks for the explanation and thanks to ED for that gesture. Kind of rocks, if true.

One reason for that is when launching the updater from DCS launcher it does that if you dont have enough disk space for the update, happened to me a few times and didn't realize until i launched the updater manually and then it gave me a hard disk space error.

 

Real life.

 

lol

I had that too, but after deleting shaders and restarting DCS a few times, it now works perfectly again.

Was only with the F-5...on all maps, all missions. Now it settled down again.

AUTO - automatic spotting dot size calculation based on monitor or VR hardware parameters (how it worked before)

What exactly are the parameters determining the dot size on AUTO (e.g. which screen resolution results in which dot size)?

so new patch has removed Petrovs ability to see any targets even when they are right in front of him

Is something up with the downloader? Speed is capped at 11.5MB/s, 61750MB download comes out to be 90 minutes when doing rough math but the ETA is showing 4 hours.

I'm getting it over all, might be an issue. The F-5 and Chinook need a LOT of optimization. Apache needs some, itself.

But, I'm going to continue playing and clearing shader caches to see if that sorts it out.

Is the high resolution asset pack downloaded by default? 

Or a separate download?

Can't find it in DLC on steam

The units will be updated with the core update. Nothing else needed.

[avgyst]

I confirm that F-5e performance has dropped a lot since the last patch

Pretty sure it is part of the core game and no separate download.

clear the metashaders2 and fxo folders, to let the driver rebuild the graphics shaders

[Nuggetz]

I don’t know if anyone else has experienced the following after yesterday’s patch. 
 

In cockpit (F16) no steerpoints are available (single player, not sure about MP) all the values of grid co-ords are zero. Checking the ME the routes are still listed but they don’t get transferred to the jet on multiple maps. 
 

Possible bug?
