ngreenaway Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Will it be updates regularly now? Depends on what metric you use. On a geologic time scale, once every five months is pretty much constant! Historically, stable updates came about every three weeks. There's no reason to expect that has changed. 256 update was an outlier, not the new business as usual.

Livers Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 So 2.5.6 has now moved to stable. That's very... brave. Considering they brought over the current pathing issues with the AI, I'd say courageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusedspine33 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 DCS World Patch Notes Discussion Thread Question on the Varjo addition to native support. This announcement was a big surprise. But....5000-12000 for a head set is well outside of enthusiast level expenditure. With the Reverb G2 announcement, is there any news available from @wags, @bignewy or @ nineline on the native support for the reverb from this post last year? https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3937415&postcount=1080 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recluse Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks. Will play with it. I didn't notice the VVSL option even when I first turned on the FLIR, sitting on the runway but maybe it is a WOW issue. Pretty sure that I tried UNDESIGNATING everything in flight and still didn't see it, but will give it another shot. OK... so now I am totally confused. -Took off and turned on the FLIR. Saw the VVSLV option. -Selected JDAM to start setting them up. As soon as click TOO mode, the FLIR pointed itself SOMEWHERE.. VVSLV disappeared and for the remainder of the Flight I could NOT get it back. At this point NO targets were designated. -Deselected JDAM, Hit UNDESIGNATE multiple times just in case, Did a CAGE/UNCAGE. The Pod Stowed. Still no VVSLV. -Designated a WP as target... FLIR slewed to it. UNDESIGNATED. No VVLSV. Tried to designate ANOTHER WP. FLIR never moved. Gonna prepare a TRK and record a video later. Meanwhile, any ideas? In 2.5.5 I had the TPOD running great. Also had a sort of VVSLV by Boresighting, aiming the VV while giving a slight TDC slew to greound stabilize. That, of course no longer works. Now it seems to have a mind of its own. Since there are numerous TPOD discussions over on the F/A-18C forum I might move my questions over there.. EDIT: Over in the other thread they said it was a known bug that entering TOO mode with a JDAM will create a Target point that cannot be undesignated and causes the issues I was seeing. I tried again without setting up JDAM, and the TPOD was working as advertised. Edited May 30, 2020 by Recluse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOViper Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Sad to say, that this patch has made no difference to my frame times for the Supercarrier. Still horrendous in VR. Without shadows stable 45 in VR, with shadows at low, medium or high somewhat of 25 to 30 fps, so this patch didn't fix it.

Furiz Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 So now that stable is updated, and both OB and stable are on the same version, the multiplayer server list seems exactly the same I guess the listing reads the server game version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he probably means 16 MB/s not mbps, so it's a pretty fast 128 mbps. In my experience, my 300 mbps connection slows to several kbps on ED servers at times.

Its fast, but most of the times the speed on ED servers comes down to 400 kbps. That is the problem. So the download took more than 4 hrs. I think IMACKEN also experienced the same problem.
