EasyEB Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 So the last nine months I’ve stayed away from DCS while the worst bugs get adressed. I’m wondering what state DCS is in now, and particularily the A-10C? Has it gotten better? Is it worth getting back in? What are the worst bugs going on right now?

Emmy Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Jet’s systems are fine. Lighting is “questionable” with somewhat underperforming illumination on gauges and somewhat overdriven illumination in MFCDs but this is pretty much a DCS-wide issue right now with every module suffering lighting quirks.

Just my $0.02 Agree with the above, a few lighting glitches but for me it seems in pretty good shape. The alteration to bullet dispersal on the Warthog has also made the GAU-8 more satisfying to use!

Puma Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The hud is a debatable bug for non-vr users. I find it very usable but yes its harder to see the edges/corners than it used to be. Position lights can’t go solid any more.

mastersetter Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Agree with others, the lighting is pretty much the only thing thats poor at the moment. The tgp is just a white screen sometimes and unusable alot of the time, even with the bezel adjustments. HUD is ok for me in VR, but its dim and that goes back to the lighting issues. i5-7600K @ 4.8 | 32GB | 1080 | Rift S | TM MFD & WH HOTAS-10mm ext + TFRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxx Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I got on board DCS when the Hog and Blackshark were the first modules. I haven't flown the Hog for a couple of years, so needed to re type on it and spend some time relearning the DMS,CMS,TMS, etc... I am fairly current on Hornet, Harrier, M2k and Blackshark. The pleasure I got from returning to the Hog was terrific! I think the flight model is about the same as I recall. The interior of the cockpit is superbly highly detailed, crisp sharp details. I agree that the DDI's can be a little quirky, especially in dusk/dawn lighting, but they have very good contrast/brightness controls, so you can adjust them to suit your display. These exceed the Harriers display adjustability, although the Harrier is still in development. I have a home made mission in Caucuses that I fly to test my skills and the various aircraft and weapons. The Hog scores the highest in satisfaction! The sheer choice of weapons and aircraft's ruggedness are awesome. When using an AFAC drone to laze targets, putting on the NVG's and seeing the Lazer mark on the target is amazing. LST works very well, again much better than the Litening pod on the Harrier. So I think the A10c is looking really good in DCS 2.5.6 release. I have no lock ups crashes or issues with the Hog. Once I relearnt the switchology, the ship's an awesome killing machine! Slow, yes, but enjoy the views! Cheers.

jasonbirder Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Few issues with the MFDs brightness/contrast in 2.5.6.xxx and the exterior lights are a bit quirky (assume that'll be fixed in the next update) other than that its in great shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
