Update 1 for DCS 1.2.3

[Maachine]

also, missions arent loading. wtf DCS?

excellent...though i have to admit, that im not certain whether this is only a multiplayer issue, or only related to the p51(more unlikely but who knows)

 

I can confirm it's not just an MP or P51 issue. On SP with a flanker I had the plane sitting on the ramp during a quick mission, left it running while I had stepped away for a couple minutes. When I returned apparently something AI related blew up or crashed not far from the runway. During taxi and takeoff my FPS was really bad, and didn't clear up until I was away from the smoke. Never happened to me before. Glad to see ED is aware of the issue.

About the smoke, this gives me an idea now.

 

 

If you are getting chased by a bandit on your 6, just start dumping fuel. Maybe he will lag out bad enough to allow you to turn hot on him. hehehehe

 

:) probably not possible, because smoke trails and oil and fuel leaks from still fyling planes dont cause any problems.its only the smoke columns from crashed planes(maybe vehicles and buildings as well?), which cause the slideshow and stutters.

And oh, BTW, it seems to me that apart from the AC crash smoke FX turning the sim into a slideshow the overall fluidity/FPS is still miles better than (possibly) ever before. So ED, if you're listening, just fix this particular FX and otherwise leave the bugger right there, and you'll see a bunch of happy campers I'm sure ;)

 

PS/EDIT: And this tested in MP just a sec ago.

the update didnt install right.....i reinstalled and everything is fine now.

Update 1 for DCS 1.2.3

 

If I remember correctly, the auto-updater will check one time over a 24 hour period. You can manually run the auto-updater by going into START, list "ALL PROGRAMS", go into "Eagle Dynamics", then "DCS World" and run "Update DCS World".

yeah, otherwise the sim runs pretty nice i have to say as well...except one more thing i noticed...tracers of the p51.its no problem, when you fire your own guns,and it doesnt seem to be a problem when you are shot at, but if you watch two other planes fighting each other, flying next to the fight, and looking at the tracers, even from a pretty big distance, this seems to let the fps drop into the cellar as well.(at least for me)

I think still any P-51 shoting expecially long series casue huge fps drop. It is little better then in 1.2.2 casue before was heavy stutters during shoting but even now im my system fps drop from 60 till around 15-20 fps during heavy shoting.

 

I think still it should be better optimalized.

The TWS 2 for the MiG-29S still doesn´t work. It´s a shame.

[159th_Viper]

It´s a shame.

 

No, it's a BETA.

[Jerec]

Yes, it´s beta, but the dual engagement TWS was definitely announced to be in the change log of patch 1.2.3! There´s no word of a 1.2.3 beta.

In the video on lockonfiles.com the dual engagement works.

[Silver_Dragon]

FC3 has on BETA, no 1.2.3
