Has anybody noticed anything funky with headings in this latest patch? I have a mission I've been using for a while and now the headings generated by scripting are suddenly off by 180 degrees, and so is the radio compass indicator at startup. The standby magnetic compass is right though. This is in the Huey.

 

Now it could be I broke something in my script trying to fix it for the previous patch. And at the same time there's been a change in the startup procedure where you have to set the RCI to the correct heading now. But it seems odd this all happened right after applying the Aug 2nd patch.

Was a rhetorical question, and I got a legitimate answer?

 

Outstanding!

 

Many thanks Skatezilla, I figured I would need to do a total un, then re-install.

 

Will give this a go, thanks again!

I'd answer that if it weren't a rhetorical question.

So we get open beta testing. That could be kind of tricky for us that want to play online. Maybe some servers have it and some don't. Probably will need two installations of DCS World. But this is good news for us too. Let the community file bug reports and have fewer on the official release.

Community is already reporting bugs.

Its a bit of a mess though.

And hopefully this will make it a bit more streamlined for all parties involved.

Need some feedback guys, has anyone experienced any issues with radio (ATC, tanker etc) with this latest update?

 

I got a server rolling with new update, my client are updated too.

Well, communication with JTAC, ATC, Tanker, AWACS are not possible anymore, since the last update. Tested with A-10C Module!

 

Servercrashs are happens too often i case of an "ACCESS_VIOLATION" since i updated to 1.2.5. Yes, we got many targets around the map with few triggers. CPU (16 Cores) Load 9% with 18 connected Clients, 5GB RAM of 64GB...connection is fine on an 1Gbit/s Backbone. Checked the RAM, but its fine too.

 

Can anyone tell me why the server crashes with this error: "ACCESS_VIOLATION at 5FCAA070 00:00000000"

This error happens since 1.2.5.

A-10A air refueling door indicator light isn't coming on and it also appears that no fuel is being taken onboard despite the boom operator saying so (after a good connection).

 

Can someone else please confirm my observations.

[doveman]

same here...

ATC issue:

start up at ground taxiing and start permission ok,

but if you want to land => no answer for contact and landing permission till you are on land on runway then the tower tasks for taxiing to park possition....

 

JTAC no answer => no longer available

 

Yep, I haven't been able to get a reply from the Tower for the last few versions actually (not sure if it ever worked to be honest as I don't know when I first tried) but it's still not working in 1.2.5.

 

EDIT: To clarify, I should explain that I mean when coming in to land and ATC hands me over to the tower and tells me to contact them, that's when I can't get any response. At startup and when calling Inbound or requesting azimuth, it works fine.

Latest Update to 1.2.5

 

For the A-10A changes.

 

Wags: Fixed autopilot (you may need to delete your input file to reset)

 

Three questions:

 

(1) Where is this file?

 

(2) Does it only effect FC 3 aircraft?

 

(3) If I delete it will I have to reset all my DCS aircraft settings, A-10C, BS2, UH-1H Huey, P-51, FC3?

 

:joystick:

I can confirm that AWACS no longer responds to bogey dope or any requests at all in the f-15 campaign.

Well I left the registry well alone and am happy to report that the reinstall went fairly smoothly. I now have all the options present in the start menu and am updated to 1.25. I was a bit grieved to find that the "flashing white box" syndrome hasn't been addressed as yet many months down the line, so have had to disable HDR again but, apart from that, it looks great :)

[Paganus]

When you edit a control profile the 1st time a copy of the default file is created in the Windows user\saved games\dcs\config\input folder with your changes made. When you look you will see each aircraft has its own and there are files for keyboard, stick, and mouse.

 

If you delete this custom file the next time you go into options to edit a control the process starts over with a clean default file.

 

When default control files are changed by ED or if it ever gets corrupted you can remove it and start with a fresh one. All custom settings you have made in a given control file will go away when it's deleted.

I really do not understand why the Mustangs excellent corrections/mods are not inserted into new version of DCSW? And the same bugs are repeated from version to version. :doh:

[Trubshaw]

Shrek Squadron uses the online multi player DCS world daily. It needs to be clear which version is currently in use and which is the Beta. I guess you guys will sort that out. Ideally it would be possible to load up one or the other. So that we can join in with the testing and flying in a more stable environment.

 

On a personal note for many years I have supported you guys at Eagle Dynamics. I have had many hours of enjoyment and met some great people along the way. The Friday update is a great idea Wags. Just keep up the good work.

in Multiplayer host, can use radio with out issue, clients cannot.

 

clients receive no response from ATC or Tanker.

i can't hear voice commands from player to wingman from A10-A campaign

at some points

A10-A cbu97 still falling short

when you fire the gun you have pitch up GUNARM mode instead of PAC

maybe it has something to do with the AFM

[TCKnight]

hello guys, I installed the latest 1.2.5, but I have problems with multy monitor. Before everything worked well. Now with only the executable DCS multy player I have no problems. If I try dcs world sp the second monitor does not work. I turn off and power back on 2 monitors, and I have the mfd on the second monitor. Why? I notice that the executable has multy these strings that the sp has not - net-gui mod.

 

i have frame Samsung 87H, last nvidia driver...with falcon BMS and DCS multy all ok...

camera+mfd destro.lua

options.lua

[Kuky]

There is no difference running SP or MP when it comes to multi-monitors, if it works in one is works in other. Also as fas I am aware there has been no change in multi-monitors in 1.2.5 from previous versions so I think its likely you have something changed on your end.

 

PS: don't use any old modified files from previous versions into new ones cause it can create issues, instead edit new files. Also you shouldn't be editing options.lua at all. Chose resolution (total res) in game and just edit monitor lua file, that's it.

[Speedbrake]

Thanks !

 

Thanks for the response!!!

Hmm I´ve never had any problems with the radios. ATC and JTAC work fine in my current 1.2.5 16184 version. The Kutaisi ATC had a little abrubt ending only, after inbound call. But request landing was without problem, as with Start Engines, taxi and Takeoff.

 

I´ve only experienced minor bugs, that ATC call me Hawg instead of Boar, as it should have...but that bug was present also in 1.2.4 if I remember correctly.

[enigma6584]

Glad to see it has worked out for you. Happy flying.

I can confirm that. Tried out a few different missions and i never got an answer from AWACS, no matter what plane or mission i was flying.

[Gloom Demon]

After the latest update the mission debriefing does not list any of the Players victories. The total number of victories is correct, I think, but it's zero victories for the Player. DCSW version 1.2.5.16184
