DCS 1.2.6 Update 2 Available

Do people actually read or search the forums? How many times is this question asked and answered by now? Time for a sticky...again...

 

Get ready to answer more of them the next time too. Developers can help themselves by trying to think like a customer.

 

How about they give a message when you try to load the game when there is an update available that says: "updates are available, do you wish to update?"

 

Or...have a button to launch the updater in the sim under the "news" pop up.

 

This is how it went for me:

 

1.Read the forums and see update is out.

2.Launch DCS, nothing happens, game loads as normal.

3.Click the little news widget on the left of the screen, which also says update out.

4.Click on the link in the widget- takes me to the update change log.

5. Alt tab back to DCS and open the Modules section to look for an Update button...nothing.

6. Close the game and reload it a few times.

7. Look around the forums to see how its done.

 

not exactly intuitive.

That's why i wrote... again...

 

Also, why does it seem so hard for people to place the updater icon on their desktop so that if you just played and missed the update by a second and then come in here and read about it, offers you to just click it and off you go... updating... life can be so simple sometimes...

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!

The Quickstart missions for the P-51D were apparently updated by "Update 2". No mention of P-51D changes in the Changelog above.

What was the reason for the update and are there other changes in Update 2 that did not make the Changelog?

Hello,

 

In fact the brake sound run fine, in cold & dark you close the two windows and the brake sound is very low.

But I you open just one window by exemple the left window you can hear perfectly the brake sound :thumbup:

 

So for me it's not a bug but just one new upgrade and it's perfect, congratulation for BST team :clap_2:

 

PS:

Please can you test that and give us your feedback :music_whistling:

 

Bye, Skull ;)

@SE: Do you mean the CBU and smoke stutters?
Nope, just the stuttering from unnecessarily high RAM usage. The CBU lag will take a while to fix if at all. It needs an entire new effect. Smoke and other effects are quite costly as they are, so hopefully EDGE will be the saving grace we make it to be.

Lag/Stuttering/RAM issue has been fixed. Thanks ED!! :pilotfly:

 

 

Did they really fix it??? Awesome!!! Since switching to 64 bit Win7, this was one of the biggest issues I have been experiencing during my sim time with A10c.

 

I'll have to give it a go tonight!

What about online, is it more stable now? :wallbash:

 

We will need at least a couple of days testing this new version before coming to a conclusion about general stability. One thing for sure, it loads MUCH faster with a smoother UI which are good signs.

 

Please keep us posted on how the general feeling is on the Russian side of the forums.

-=Shrek=-Sqh FIRST RESPONSE from test in MP

 

It is early days and still needs a little more time to check out performance but at this point, congratulations ED team, you seem to have produced a patch that delivers a positive result. All smiles at -=Shrek=-Sqn training night tonight, where we flew a solid full on combat mission without a single crash.

It was not exactly a "stress test" but the 8 members flying were operating their ACs weapons at full stretch without as much as a stutter.

 

One possible bug might be in connection with some game triggers that failed (group % destroyed - triggering an activation) but as said before, its still a bit too early to be sure.

WELL DONE! ED, its refreshing to have a patch that gives a positive experience.

The voice language follows the country of your flight. But if you want an Russian flight with English voices, you could probably overwrite the Russian files with the English in "DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound". Though I haven't personally tried it, since I like that feature.

"Fixed submerged Il-76 static object."

 

Am I the ONLY one who breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that this INSTANT emersion killer was fixed?!

 

THANKS ED!

 

This issue is NOT FIXED for me or any member of the Squad flying tonight Tue 08 Oct. Submerged object (Illusion) at Senaki Kholki.

Yes, feel the love. My Hollo Pointe server has been running very well since the latest update. Another big plus is having the Arty Fire At Point working again in the ME.

 

Thank you ED.
