overall not a bad update. However, I have one mission for the FPS dropped from the 60-70 to teens. Not sure why.

I just opened an empty Persian Gulf mission to check out the new water and and just panning the view up above the horizon into empty sky cuts the fps from 190 max down to steady 50.

 

Edit: Cannot reproduce after restarting the game. Perhaps it didn't compile all the shaders the first time around.

Notwithstanding the long download and install, all went smooth and did the usual update procedures resulting in a good startup and testing in all theatres.

 

Now for the detailed flight and mission evaluations.

 

Thankyou ED and all,

Im def having performance issues with the new patch. Unplayable in VR now. :(

I guess I'll have to start tweaking again tomorrow.

Seven hours to D/L through a very slow satellite ISP (ViaSat 10mbit/sec service). Pretty typical given the update size (17+GB for my system) - glad they scheduled it for today as my billing cycle and data allowance reset on Sunday. Plenty of snow to shovel and plow while waiting.

 

For me, 2.5.6 loaded with no issues and the new lighting looks really nice. No effect on frame rates, but I have a fairly robust system (i7 6700 oc’ed to 4600Mhz, Rtx2080ti), but have not yet tried to implement the SSLR. Thx DCS crew for your efforts. :thumbup:

Two things...no, three things! The three things I've noticed (with apologies to Monty Python) are the glacial download, slower startup, and they still haven't fixed the F-14 wallpaper. It's still an F-14D, and it still sucks.

 

 

It starts up 'better' than it did; more multi-monitor aware and I didn't have to go through the usual mouse and keyboard show to get it settled.

 

 

Real testing maybe later tonight, possibly tomorrow.

 

 

 

Great job, ED. Given the slings and arrows of outrageous demands BigNewy has had to field it felt nice to see him announcing the release. Not sure if that was intentional, but I liked it all the same.

Been testing for about 2 hours now, have tried F-18, F-16, SU-33, P-51 and all maps in 2.5.6. So far very impressive, there is more traffic and the traffic makes more sense. Water effects are great and lighting is a great change that could use some tweaking to perfect. For me on one monitor Performance is ultra smooth. I did see some shimmering from tree shadows on the Caucasus map.

After downloading the 2.5.6 update a second time, the error appears again. I spent the entire day downloading the new update. Now he is asking to download again. I use Kaspersky antivirus.

So , first issue as the carrier launch system seems to be broken when doing a cold start and trying to hook up to the catapult . The moment you press to hook up ... it launches you ....LITERALLY and you end up flying through the air !

 

It works if you are already hooked up when the mission starts , even though launching afterwards shakes the planes so much it is abit ridiculous .. It is liked they have over-excited the launch mechanism.

 

Also there is no vibration in hand controllers any more when interacting with buttons in cockpit .

Pressing a button used to create a vibration so you knew it was doing something .

Updated to 2.5.6, DCS hung on Load with bar at 10%. Did a REPAIR and it loads fine . BUT if I load VOICEATTACK running VAICOM Pro profile DCS reverts to not loading, getting stuck with bar on 10%. Again only way to sort it is to REPAIR again, then run without Voiceattack running. The R EPAIR says it finds 2 files (which I assume Voiceattack is creating or modifying), these have to be deleted to get DCS to load

I'm seeing a weird low amount of player/servers 260/355 and also three of my favorite servers are missing including "Aerobatics Online Caucasus OpenBeta" and "Hoggit - Training Server"

 

At the same DCS webpage

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/server/#allservers

 

says 481 servers / 845 players and both hoggit and aerobatics servers are up.

It is as if I'm not seeing Open Beta servers com to think of it.

My "autoupdate.cfg"says:

"branch": "openbeta",

"version": "2.5.6.43503",

"timestamp": "20200213-182919",

Intel Core i7 3630QM @ 2.40GHz (Max Turbo Frequency 3.40 GHz) | 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz | 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M | 447GB KINGSTON SA400S37480G (SATA-2 (SSD))
