DCS World 1.2.1, Now Available

[Tailgate]

I still have Vers 1.1.1.1 A-10 standalone installed, is that going to create any problems for the DCSW updates?

I highly recommend to download the newst stuff...otherwise you´ll be all alone on the serverlist, and you wont get the newest features

I ran both 1.1.1.1 and 1.2.0 without issues, just wondering if keeping 1.1 will create issues with 1.2.1. Anyway, I think it's time to mothball the standalone.

All right, I've finally updated, and I'm happy to say that I ran into no problems with activation. I followed the new instructions given by Wags and Viper, and there was no loss of either activation or deact. Full process: I uninstalled World 1.2.0 (no deactivation). I then installed World 1.2.1, ran the DCS World shortcut from the Start Menu & let it autoupdate, then installed A-10C 1.2.1 and P-51D 1.2.1. I clicked on Multiplayer, confirmed my keys (which were remembered) in the activation window, and that was that. 9 activations left for each module. Excellent job sorting this problem out in a reasonably short period of time, E.D. [tips hat]

Im new to world as i only installed it yesterday with dcs A10 and P51 on top. It runs fine and all but there is one annoying thing... buildings are flickering black as you approach them. is this a known bug? All settings on highest they can be. Windows 7 64 and it is on an SSD.

Yes, it is a known bug, and AFAIK it is being worked on.

[Corrigan]

I don't know if it's being worked on... I think Mustang said it's because buildings use two different types of model for different distances and what you see is the switch. Dunno if that's something that can be fixed.

[Cookie]

Oh okay, so basically it´s an LOD problem?

[Python]

Ahh let atleast it isn't a fault with my new rig, it is pretty annoying though, I hope ED can find a solution.

Something like that.

 

The 'flicker' you see is the transition from a .blk model to an .edm model, nearly all the city structures render in this fashion in DCS and have done since it's existed.

This sounds to me like a manifestation of the ATL-TAB black buildings bug with the Shkval.

Thats French to me Nate ;) is there anything I can try to solve the issue or is it something we are all stuck with for now?

Hahaha,, thanks for the help,,, I just went through that mine field as well,, boy,,, this is like a treasure hunt

[Echo38]

It is, but it's worth it, after the hours of frustrating installation & configuration are over, and the autoupdater should make the process much simpler from now on.

Nice update for the Legacy Hornet model, ED although the FLIR is sticking through the engine duct. :\

[BigfootMSR]

That's how its calibrated :P

Updated MiG-25, F/A-18C 3D models

 

I'd like to ask about some issue after being inactive on the forums for quite a while, so please don't take it as "he posts only to talk about what stinks", ok? I loiter over update-threads, admiring the leaps ED makes with DCS as a platform, so give me a break! ;)

 

I saw a video on the updated MiG-25, F/A-18C 3D models yesterday. They look great but the afterburner cones look bad. And the "blinking" is like someone can't accept 90's are no more :P The glitches aside - they may be specific to the bloke's PC.

 

Are there any plans to replace the afterburner cones effect?

 

[SkateZilla]

the Burner flickering is a bug.

 

The Cones look great when mixed with Heat Blur and the Animations.

the Center Fuel Tank goes through the Gear Doors.

 

the Rudder Control Surfaces are Animated Backwards...

 

there's a long list of bugs for the New F-18C

Ah, OK.

But isn't it the case that the heat blur effect only comes on at low airspeed?

And the nose is shaped wrong, the APX-111 antennas are incorrectly spaced, the ALR-67 antennas are incorrectly shaped, the UHF comm antennas are a bit off, the nosegear strut is too thin, the intakes are too "tall," the LAU-7A racks are incorrectly shaped, the VEVs do not open wide enough in burner and the seat should probably be a NACES seat and not an SJU-5 for a late-model Charlie Hornet but hey... it's still a pretty good model. ;)

[SkateZilla]

i think it's more along the lines that it's only visible within a certain distance.
