Cheers added to first post :thumbup:

[Mainstay]

I dont see anything about the crashes due Atc and comms. Wags can you comment?

[ApoNOOB]

Working here right now, but any words on the stability from those who have the fortune to test it right now would be very welcome.

[BRooDJeRo]

Thx, alright. Let's try this baby.

[Justin Case]

What is there to say about it? They are probably working on it.

[Diabolus]

I'm done with this sim now! A fundamental of usability in this sim is comms and if they can't see that it's just dreadful. The use of JTAC is also an integral part of the realism and I'm just beside mysel that they haven't fixed it. Priorities - yeah right!!!

[Pepec9124]

Just tested A-10A module. Changelog tells that few switches including PAC should be in on position. Well they aren't. I'll do ground startup for confirmation.

 

 

Just tested again, no switches listed in changelog are in on position. Do I need to reset something ? Or is clean install required ?

[IvanK]

"-15C ADI LNAV "Jiggle" has been fixed."

 

LNAV Jiggle can some one translate this ? Didnt think F15 had "LNAV" :)

not sure about this one but you could try deleting input files for the aircraft in saved games folder, let the game rebuild them

this is bug description for this... don't know if you can translate it :D

At a certain point, normally when flying abeam a waypoint, the LNAV bar on the ADI goes nuts and jiggles from left to right then eventually settles. The needle pointing to the WP on the ADI does not do this only the LNAV bar.

I have a question about the updates, maybe someone can help me answer it.

 

I have Win7 and DCS installed on the same disk, its an Intel 64GB SSD. Im very happy with its performance but the space is getting rather limited, especially because Windows eats so much of it.

 

My question is this, do all of these patches increase the size of DCS directories? This particular update is 650MB for example, will this eat away 650 megs of space, or will it mostly replace other, 'older' files?

 

Thanks in advance!

[otto]

"DCS has stopped working"

 

But hey they fixed "Flight tasking commands when not in Game Mode" :megalol:

 

Returning to 1.2.5.

[Pepec9124]

Nah, it didn't helped. I gonna check installation.

 

Edit. Removed input in installation folder and then ran repair. Still no joy.

[Diabolus]

So, to download update is waste of time, right? Nothing of main issues solved? How pitiful :thumbdown:.

 

Unbelievable! - I'm fuming:furious:

[Boberro]

Are FPS better? Can't download it now so I ask.

[Pepec9124]

I can't see any difference.
