FLANKERATOR Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 1.2.6 is definitely a no go gentlemen. Greg and myself have been discussing options to accommodate "Phoenix's Nest" to the current version. We have removed ground commander slots, shrank the mission to 16 slots and removed all unnecessary scripts, still no guarantee it will run smooth on D-day. I have personally suggested to use 1.2.4 for the SA tour events, but that doesn't seem to be a unanimous decision, people are not very keen to have 2 DCS versions installed side by side, especially on the host machine. 1.2.4 is still the most stable version that has been released, but are people ready to roll back or even better install it separately? I would. Greg is still testing the mission and will keep you posted.

gregzagk Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hello guys. Unfortunately we won't be able to roll back to another version. So the missions will be on 1.2.6 . We are going to have 2 matches .One only with Air to Ground roles and the other one only Air to Air and SEAD . The matches will have max 16 pilots to avoid warping and server issues. Standby for more details and final dates of the missions. In case the Server won't be able to handle the missions we are going to cancel it and wait for a more stable version. See you soon :) "ARGO" DCS UH-1H DLC SP Campaign 373vFS DCS World squadron (Greece) - www.buddyspike.net "ARGO 2.0 Project Phoenix" UH-1H DLC Campaign - WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That changelog looks promising, I like the ability to get a track file even when the game crashes, I think that will help a lot to improve the overall stability. However, IRST system in FC3 announced as being based on the MiG-29's EOS thus with no elevation control is disappointing. How about the Shukois? and is it 100% sure that EOS in the Fulcrum has no scan elevation control? 1 Situational Awareness: https://sa-sim.com/ | The Air Combat Dojo: https://discord.gg/Rz77eFj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drona Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) However, IRST system in FC3 announced as being based on the MiG-29's EOS thus with no elevation control is disappointing. How about the Shukois? and is it 100% sure that EOS in the Fulcrum has no scan elevation control? I can't understand the reasoning behind this no EOS elevation scan? Do the devs have reliable info that the MiG-29 does not have EOS elevation scan? If they do, why can't they share it with us since we are often asked for proof? Anyway, this was posted on the forums a long time back but I'll post it again. KOLS / Izdeliye 13Sh / OEPS-29 OKB: NPO Geophyizika Fitted to the MiG-29A, KOLS is a combined IRST/LR device. All aspect device. Acquires targets independently, or with data input from the radar. Can detect a non-afterburning fighter head-on at a range of 12-18km. The collimated laser can provide ranging data from 200-6500m accurate to 3m. Scanning limits are ±30° azimuth, -15°/+30° elevation. Chart showing KOLS operational modes from MiG-29 combat employment manual Operates in several scanning modes. In large FOV mode scanning is ±30° azimuth, +30°/15° elevation. In small FOV mode scanning limits are ±30° azimuth and ±15° elevation. Close combat mode scans +16° to -14° by 4°. Lock-on mode scans 6° x 4°. Target tracking rate is up to 30°/sec. KOLS is able to reject flares only if the combined signature of the flares is less than the target. Targets are displayed on the same display as the radar. At least from this public Internet data, it shows that the MiG-29 has a operational EOS elevation scan. How can ED just remove it? Really can't understand the reasoning.

GGTharos Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 From this data it shows you that different modes have different elevation coverage, not that you can manually control the elevation of the scan. At least from this public Internet data, it shows that the MiG-29 has a operational EOS elevation scan. How can ED just remove it? Really can't understand the reasoning. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
104th_Maverick Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Not sure about the SU's but I am pretty sure the Mig-29 has no way of controlling the EOS vertical scan in RL. My understanding is..... The aircraft does this itself. It is constantly scanning the entire 'Autotracking zone' very quickly to update the pilot. It does this by scanning in a sort of Z shape pattern at high speed, so 'theoretically' the Mig is always scanning between its maximum azimuths (depending on mode selected) to find targets and the pilot has no need to manually adjust the elevation of the scan.

FLANKERATOR Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 And, what is current status (network stability wise) ? and other things in current version? :) Hey Daniel, Open Beta is hibernating now. 1.2.7 has been announced as having an 'improved' network stability though most of the servers are still crashing when populated, maybe less than before. A recent theory, which I found interesting, says crashing and re-spawning a certain number of times does actually trigger a server crash. Others suspect memory leakage within C++ source code, while most of the testers try to isolate reproducible occurrences. Long story short, we're not quite there yet, but network stability is now clearly of a high priority for ED which is a good sign especially with an involved and motivated community. There is room for some MP action I would say providing you take care of some extra details :) Situational Awareness: https://sa-sim.com/ | The Air Combat Dojo: https://discord.gg/Rz77eFj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axion Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Aye Daniel, we had a good thing going there with Op Phoenix Nest, IIRC our team tactics were working well. Looks as though ED are on the right track with regards to MP stability, that combined with Flankers sterling effort to make these events a reality, the future is looking rosy my friend.

FLANKERATOR Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hey Ax! Thanks for the kind words I do share your enthusiasm buddy, not only DCS is getting unbelievably gorgeous (those images of the upcoming Su-33 are almost photo-realistic), but the stability is improving as well and I'm sure ED will keep that high on the to-do-list in the upcoming builds. I'm curious to know what they actually did, was it the combination of isolated bugs or rather the crashing/re-spawning trend that some reported or maybe memory related issues...anyways, it's much better now and I hope it will remain like that.
