wess24m Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Anybody know which .lua file to edit to change the default HOF settings in the DSMS? I'd like to change it to a usable level.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Have you tried cycling through the HOF settings in the DSMS? 800 usually works for me.
HocusPocus Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 he wants to change the default value so it's not necessary to update it in the inventory page each time. I'm interested as well as I'm using 500 most of the time, I would set it as the default...
wess24m Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 Have you tried cycling through the HOF settings in the DSMS? 800 usually works for me. Default settings. As in when you load them onto the aircraft. On that subject, you might as well set them to 500 feet because they don't model real skeet height dependant targeting, pretty much eliminates any need to compensate for wind when set at 500.

Maybe i'm just missing something obvious.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 ....is it really that hard to go into the Inventory page and just change it?
joey45 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 For some people........ yes. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

cichlidfan Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Currently, I would avoid using them for play-ability reasons anyway.

ED Team f-18hornet Posted April 18, 2013 ED Team Posted April 18, 2013 Currently, I would avoid using them for play-ability reasons anyway. I don't use them for some time because they look too weak to me now. AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, GeForce RTX 2080Ti, 32 GB DRAM, HOTAS TM Warthog, FSSB R3 Lighting, MFG Crosswind, Win 10 Pro
mec287 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I don't use them for some time because they look too weak to me now. CBU-97 is the best free fall and best area weapons against tanks - its not even close. What playability problems?
wess24m Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 So back on topic, nobody knows where to change the defaults? In all reality the HOF is set on the ground, so there would be no changing it on the fly anyways.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 CBU-97 is the best free fall and best area weapons against tanks - its not even close. What playability problems? I don't know....maybe the average framerate of 7fps whenever a CBU-97 destroys a vehicle. :joystick:
wess24m Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 I don't know....maybe the average framerate of 7fps whenever a CBU-97 destroys a vehicle. :joystick: Not everybody has issues with 97/105. I get zero frame drop when using 97/105 or being around somebody else dropping them. They are effective at destroying all tanks/Vehicles. Maybe invest in a better processor and a SSD.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I invested in a processor that is well above the recommended system requirements set forth by ED. Same for my graphics card. In the standalone A-10C I did not have this issue. This should not be happening, period, and it is a performance issue introduced with DCS World.

I'm running a i7-3970X overclocked to 5 ghz. I still drop down to 30 fps with CBU 87, but that's the only slowdown I get. It is something Ed needs to fix but if you had a better setup it would make it MUCH less noticeable.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 My setup is good enough. And there are a lot of other people experiencing issues with CBUs and smoke. Check the bug threads.

I never said there wasn't bugs, what I'm telling you is get a better setup and a lot of the performance bugs are mitigated.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Throwing money at the issue to "fix it" is unacceptable. That's all I'm saying.
wess24m Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 Throwing money at the issue to "fix it" is unacceptable. That's all I'm saying. I agree, I was rebutting your claim that everybody has this issue. Yes it's a bug, yes we shouldn't have to find workarounds for a game we paid for, but it is what it is and until somebody corrects the issue we're stuck if you want to play the sim. Building a high end gaming computer has many other side benefits though, I didn't just build my rig with this game in mind. I also do image rendering and HD video editing which also requires a powerful computer. Fixing (some of) the issues with DCS was the real side benefit. In the long run spending 2-3k building a computer is relative to your hobby needs, if i'm spending most of my time on a pc then it behooves me to have good equipment. I'm agreeing with you to a point. This is off topic and I really am just trying to find a way to fix something that needs fixing. I've been playing this sim since the day it came out in beta and once you've had to go in and change CBU settings a few thousand times for something that should be set low by default it gets old.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Please, reread my posts and tell me where exactly that I said "everybody" was having issues.

My computer is the highest-end gaming computer that I could afford to build, and can possibly afford to have in the next 3-4 years, and I specifically built it to exceed DCS: A-10C's recommended (not minimum, recommended) system requirements.

I agree. What you built should easily run DCS. I'm assuming that the recommended requirement are what they thought would run DCS well without all the bugs that are plaguing it. I'm by no means defending ED, I realize that they are a small team but they should prioritize the playability bugs first before devoting manpower to additions to the sim. On the other hand I'm not going to "bad mouth" ED because some of the mods/ED testers/ED team members overzealously jump the gun and try to shift blame to the users. I'm avoiding all that drama and just wanted some feedback for an issue I could possibly fix myself.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Never "bad mouthed" ED myself, nor do I intend to, but it is very frustrating to go from running v1.1.1 at medium-high settings with great framerates and losing it all at LOW settings when "upgrading" to World. If it weren't for all the other bugs I would just roll back to the standalone version.

Although i'm looking forward to 1.2.4, I'm dreading what it's going to break.
Nealius Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Ha, yeah. Out of curiosity I looked through all the CBU .lua files and a few of the DSMS .lua files and couldn't find anything about the preset HOF values. It may be hard coded to the weapon somehow.

Ya i found where it gives the options in the DSMS for the HOF settings of the CBU-97/105, I guess I could try to change them all to 500 and see if it works. Hopefully one day, we can get a implemented data cartridge.
