DCS World Updates thread

[Corrigan]

no more downloading 7 gig for every lil update!

 

Not that there were any "lil updates" -- more like, no more waiting 3 months for every lil fix!

[Speacy]

Thanks for the 1.2.1, its the best evolution since the first beta.

Good job ED :thumbup:

[doveman]

Just want to throw my two cents in on this and say way to go ED. This autoupdate feature brings this game into the 21st century finally. No more waiting for patches and feature updates. All on the fly just like Arma... Keep up the good work.

 

Er, I've never had ArmA auto-update. I have to check the beta patch site regularly to see if there's a new one (although there are some third-party apps that will do this for you).

[Hamblue]

I think they're starting to slip.

They missed the daily update :music_whistling:

[YoYo]

In version 6288 , I'm have some of the best framerates to date . Substantial increase in fps over previous versions . At least on my end .

 

 

Agree, thx for this patch. Only please to fix explosions from my side :). Good work!

Someone know if DCS WORLD 1.2.1 (and the modules) files on E.D. server is update with last upgrades or is simply the original 1.2.1 released the 10-01-12?

 

Thanks in advance!

Just check the file names? It's 1.2.1.5970, so the first one.

[71st_Mastiff]

nope you should be 6288

That is the original 1.2.1 version with no updates.

Yes, I know, that's what I said. In response to

Sorry, obviously I missed that part. :doh:

 

Personally, I don't expect to see those files updated until 1.2.2 comes out, or possibly when FC3 comes out.

[Pigmachine]

As I have the DCS Black Shark 2 upgrade version.. and have to uninstall.. will I have to reinstall Black Shark 1.0.2 first?

 

Same with FC2 .. do I need LOMAC and FC installed first

Need to dig through a couple of movingboxes in the attic in that case!

 

(and low on space on all my 3 drives, so I can't afford to screw up to much)

 

Sorry for being stupid.. but been in the WWI for a while, and not followed this at all!

[cichlidfan]

You need BS1 only, no updates/patches, for BS2.

 

You need LOMAC only, no FC1 or FC2, for FC3.

[Pigmachine]

Thanks.. will be a little attic expedition tomorrow then :)

 

EDIT->Since I didn't find anyplace to buy FC3 !? I didn't have to install FC2..

Cursed a little when I thought I only stored my BS patches on my ED/DCS dir.. but checked the MD5 and it was the right version..

Had a lot of fun and now it's 5.20 in the morning!

 

Found one joystick-bug that almost made me give up. I have a saitek x52 pro.. and I had saved my old files (and not really bug 2, but stupid thing, impossible to find where to put the old .lua at first!) and when you add the modifier from the drop-down menu and in my case use button6 that in menu is called JOY_BTN_06 or so while when you press it, instead of selecting it it's the correct JOY_BTN6 ..So half the settings where red. when I finally figured that out.. I remembered all my old settings, by instinct... and I don't even remember what I had for lunch!!

As the author of the autoupdater, I'm somewhat interested in how it's doing in the wild.

 

I'm very pleased with it. When I first installed DCS World, it took me five hours solid to set up my controls, views, and other options. When I installed version 1.2.1, it again took me five hours to re-do my configurations. Hopefully, I'll never have to do that again, because of the auto-updater. Also, of course, the hotfixes are very welcome. Good show!

[71st_Mastiff]

I love it! it works for me and I'm using Mod-man and have my certain config files backed up for mutlimonitors.

[Pigmachine]

after trying once the really wrong way.. installing all the new ones over the old.. the autoupdater worked.. when cleaning it all, and doing it the right way, no autoupdate. Until I removed \users\<my_name>]\saved games\DCS folder.. then it worked ok again! :thumbup:

[KaspeR32]

Does anyone know if the explosions are fixed in the latest version? ( 6288 )

 

Last version I played I couldn't use rockets in the shark because it was a slide show.

[cichlidfan]

I have not heard anything to indicate it is the case.

[GriffonBR]

Newer version 6288. This ver seem smooth with no initial bugs of 1.2.1. Good work ED!

 

Well, good for you.

 

My FPS bites the dust once again with the 6288.

I limited my FPS to 30 for a smooth simulation but after 6288 on Ground Attack Mission my FPS dropped to 19...

 

Before anyone asks for my system specs, here we go again...

Why ED has to touch on something that was right? Stop to put a lot of heavy features on a game that doesn't support multiple cpus.:doh:

I was going to buy two copies of DCS Mustang today (one for my friend) but after all the bad feedbacks after the patch I had too hold until you fix the new problems.

That's something they WILL (MUST/HAVE/MANDATORY...) rework one day, if they don't, one day or the other, another developer will sell a excellent sim, with excellent graphics and performances on 4+ cores designed for us, not military at first.

 

Right now, the roadmap looks like : we sell beta-things to keep us living.

I have BS2 A10 CA. I still don't know how to fly A10, because BS is taking my whole time. I bought A10 mainly for support ED. I will never buy P51, and few chance for UH-1, aswell as FC3 (semi-arcade game?)in this state. I WILL buy multicores updates, and DCS Ships for fun ;)

 

When i tell my canadians friends : I will buy a 4.8Ghz sandyB for a sim game they don't know, they all answered me : "you have to change your game mate, not your hardware, LOL !"

They're right. But what can i do? i'm in love with betty.

 

[/OT]

 

6288, things are pretty, but like said before, more and more things will undoubtly leads to poor performance. like shkval, dust effects, explosions...

More options in ME/scripts

More units

More combats

Same CPU. :(

 

I'm hardly seeing a bright future unfortunately.

[Advicepuppy]

So the instant the game begins running (A-10C), and I spawn into the world... my plane explodes. I don't mean like, falls apart by getting shot, I mean FULL EXPLOSION. Like *POOF*, with fire and pieces going everywhere. And I know for a fact that there are NO AA or SAMS in the area. Any help? I liked my flight simulator better than my catastrophic structural failure simulator I have now :c

Yeah , Im having the same issue .

[lokitexas]

Up and down with fps on every update it seems...

 

This last one is lower, not by much but still lowered them.

 

Also, black buildings are still going on, and the game still Alt-Tabs out at the begining of a mission. I assume this is the cause for the black buildings.

 

Either way, hope these get looked at again.
