imacken Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I think it's just a typo in the forum post version, a bug if you want say so :D ;) Maybe but it's a bit weird though.

coldViPer Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 :thumbup: So far so good with 2.5.6 on my end. Flying the Hornet off the Stennis in the Persian Gulf. No drop in performance with my Rift S that I can see, pretty decent. I have been flying the Cold Start, taxi and takeoff then flying low over land and sea followed up with ILCS landings. Someone had mentioned a problem with the Launcher hookup on the carrier in the Cold Start mission in another thread somewhere but I had no issue with it. Sea is looking good, I used to get color banding near the shores, do not have than any more that I can tell so glad to see that gone. Lighting is nice, I lowered my gamma to 1.0 and it looks great. The shadows near the shoreline look a little rough to me, but may be just a VR thing. Oh and load time for DCS seems to have increased some. +1 same here, looking good with Rift S, no performance drop.

Eldur Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 First impressions - the new lightning looks really promising, really amazing in some instances, but inconsistent and downright wrong in other regards. For example you can be flying in a very clear full moon night, then a few minutes before sunrise the night will be become pitch dark, and the transition looks wierd as hell. Then the sun comes up looks spectacular but the darkness is not a bit consistent with what you were seeing 10 minutes before. I remember seeing reports on that "absolutely pitch dark just before sunrise" thing like a decade ago, literally. It's always been one of the DCS things. But I guess that's on their todo list as they started to rework the lighting just now. Hi all please post issues in the bugs section, they will get lost in this thread. thank you Just as a side note as there are lots of people having VR performance issues apparently. I've PMed you mods a while ago about the bug section as there are literally three VR issues sections spread across the board, causing confusion (Which one is the correct one? Where do my reports get seen? Which one is for what?), but haven't got any reaction to it. You guys really should merge those together, the sooner the better.

Raisuli Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I just realized I didn't re-make any of the changes I normally set to fix the MFDs on the F-18. Either ED got that resolved, the update didn't change them, or it all just magically works now. Overall I'm pretty happy with the update. Got really slow frame rates here and there, but it was busy and my poor 1080 has trouble with the setting I use anyway. This might be due to running a near stock version of DCS, with no mods other than the occasional skin. Sorry to hear about the problems people are having, though. So, for me at the very least, good job, ED. Well done. No sarcasm at all there; the update has been pretty darn nice, and I expect it's only going to get better. Still need to fix that bug where my aircraft falls to the ground in flaming pieces every time I get shot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, all feedback no matter the form is useful in one form or another to developers. Exactly - the purpose of the open beta is to expose the beta to all those combinations of gear that aren't caught by the closed beta team. If it runs oddly on your (whoever's) machine - that's why you get access to it early - if someone's having issues, they're fulfilling their role as an open beta tester. The problem is that some people don't want to be open beta testers, they just want access to beta features early, and sign up (download) without thinking about what they're offering as part of that exchange.

Eldur Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) That's it. You just can't compare modern conurbation with anything from the 40's, France or elsewhere. The overall amount of lighting was much, much less back then. It's more than just that... it's realistic because they kept the lights out on purpose. The other thing is that it might be possible that Ugra just didn't upgrade their map while ED did with theirs. And while we're at it, I just got to the point where I could start testing the new OB et voila, gut issues. First try in VR, I heard Win 10 disconnecting some USB and reconnecting again. Instantly made DCS crash up, no logs. Second try without VR it took ages to load up the mission (literally, was more than 20 minutes away from the rig and it was still going), just for me to be in a pitch black world. My screen was #000000 completely except for the frame counter and the menu that opened up via Esc. But before going to the bug section with empty hooves (which would be as useful for the teams as posting here), I'll further try to nail the issue down on my behalf first... maybe I just need to reboot again, I mean, it's Windows after all Edited February 15, 2020 by Eldur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
