DCS: A-10C v1.1.1.0 first impressions

[Fuzzysham]

For me it feels like the game runs faster. Also, the way the plane handles feels different. Might be because I reset my controllers last night. I thought I didn't have a custom curve on it...

 

One odd thing that happened to me a few moments ago; I was flying in multiplayer and I was cruising to get to the first objective and I was bored so I thought I'd press F6 and watch some munitions. That was a bad idea. The game suddenly froze, could still hear the sound of the engine though. I checked task manager to see what was up and saw all 16gb of my ram being used by the game. It wasn't like that the whole time I was in game, just shot up when it froze. That was interesting.

 

Good patch overall.

There goes my Friday night.

 

Whats the tgp like?

TGP = MUCH better. To me it is like night and day from the previous version. More contrast or something.

[Wichid]

Awesome. Cheers.

When I dropped my CBU-105s, the whole effect started too late and the canisters hit the ground before the skeets even had time to explode. The default 500 ft HOF was too little, I changed it to 1500 ft, worked awesomely killing 3 Mstas and 2 T-80s. :D

 

But you might wanna take a look at the default 500 ft HOF.

I used my controller settings from patch .09, has anyone else noticed more sensitivity with the new patch? I have TW Warthog, with 3 deadzone, and 15 curvature. Love the new patch though, clouds look great, great FPS so far.

Not worried about the cockpit reflections, it's known.....Eddie and I just verified....2 tankers in the mission (MP or SP) and it CTDs when trying to make precontact.

 

Hi Paul,

 

I'm not too worried about the tankers causing CTDs (known issue). Refueling is pretty boring and I hardly miss it.

[MagnumHB]

I don't believe I've seen anyone mention the addition of actual building locations in the mission editor. Fantastic.

[Snoopy]

Hi Paul,

:doh:

 

What I meant was the reflections had already been reported, the CTD because of tankers had not.

[Baggy MacDouche]

Might be awhile before I can upgrade and play. Any volunteers to share some pics or video(even better) of the TGP?

[Wichid]

Wow that bittorrent is coming down fast. Can't wait!

[ralfidude]

The CBU HOF is a known overlooked boo boo. By next patch hopefully they will fix it from default 500 to something like 1800.

 

Also, Ranger, I set my TM warthog to no dead zones, and a curvature of 30 in pitch and roll, then almost 40 for rudders to make my gunning picture perfect.

 

Try that, you will love formation flying with that sensitivity.

The CBU HOF is a known overlooked boo boo.

 

It's not a boo-boo. It's correct to RL specifications.

[Phantom88]

OK,I know this will sound like a total fanboy,over the top,DCS Love Child post so Please Slap me later!:doh:

 

1.1.1.0 Has taken this Sim to a much higher level for me,I have gotten a Great boost in performance,not sure if it's all tied to FPS,It's just incredibly smooth and fluid now even on higher graphics settings.

 

I think the above along with the new tree shadows are responsible for the wonderful feeling of Airspeed I get even at higher altitudes,This wasn't attainable before this patch.Also the new speedbrake sound is Fantastic!!!:thumbup:

 

 

DCS A-10C has now become my Favorite all time Flight Simulator for Combat or Free Flight!!

 

Thank you to DCS Developers and Beta team for giving us a High Fidelity Ultra realistic Flight Simulator,As you can probably tell.I'm really enjoying it!!:thumbup:

[Wags]

Happy to read that, for the most part, folks are enjoying the game. We understand there are some remaining bugs and we will do our best to address them ASAP.

[Jona33]

Does anyone else spend ages just looking at the screens on the installer? They're so pretty. :D

[derelor]

Also the new speedbrake sound is Fantastic!!!

It also makes me happy every time I hear it :)

[Ganesh]

Great work ED i love this Sim anyway

But...

the look behind (in canopy) adds reflections abruptly and changing the whole brightness also. This sucks!:(

Yeah.. i´m searching since months to get these as wallpapers. But no luck so far...

Hi Paul,

Funny I feel exact opposite. I could not careless how the window look, but AAR is one of the unique, and most challenging features of this sim, and implemented very well.

 

I miss it terribly..............(Well at least i can continue to hone my skills in SP missions, and AAR works good in SP.)

Not since I got my SSD, no. :)

For the most part I am very pleased. A huge patch like this is not going to be without bugs. There are so many combinations of video cards, drivers, window versions, directx versions, it is almost impossible to completely beta test something like this unless the DCS staff build like 15 different computer combinations. The only significant bug I noticed is the canopy reflection bug, and I believe a hotfix for this would put alot of people at ease.

[normntaz]

It seems to me that I can barely hear the engine noise in the cockpit now. All other cockpit sounds are normal. I could barely tell that the engines were running. It sounds like it always has on the External views, though.

True, when you close the canopy now it really gets quiet in there. Hard to compare though because I've never sat in the real thing for some ruddy reason :joystick:

I don't think he actually meant it, he was simply throwing some sarcasm into the air due to paul's dismissal of reflections, indeed which paul then later clarified. Warthogger probarbly likes aar as well;)
