IronMike Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Dear all, in light of our promise to interact a bit more with the Viggen subforum as well, we'd like to offer a patch feedback thread here as well. This patch brings many changes and fixes to the Viggen, but this is just the first of our pushes towards a full Release status. We would like to thank you again for your very kind patience with us, it is much appreciated - getting the Viggen squared away is our top priority. Thank you also for your honest feedback and continued support! Please find the changelog below. DCS: AJS-37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations NEW: Added the ability to load runway headings on map markers, like so: L1 180 - this is useful for road bases and other ad-hoc fields. Added EP-13 Brightness and Contrast controls to cockpit model Added missing EP-13 Brt/Contrast label Fixed MIKBAND clickable area being too large Fixed direction of arrow on radio panel Fixed appearance of Navigation Light orbs Improved smoothness of fabric coverings on glareshield and surrounding areas Significantly improved readability of weapon selector switches - especially with lowered texture settings. Fixed white formation lights being constantly on regardless of power or switch position. Fixed appearance of white formation lights (orb shader) Decreased cast attenuation range of navigation lights on the airframe Decreased intensity of fin illumination lights Reduced intensity of anti-collision light Increased visibility of anti-collision light flipbook textures Moved position of fast erect button Added “fake mirrors” (ala F-14) to mirrors when they are off - instead of just appearing black/grey. Tilted EP-13 sight and tube towards pilot head for more neutral aiming position Adjusted EP-13 clipping masks Fixed rudder pedal mechanism clipping into the floor. Fixed rudder pedal pedestal base clipping Removed floating screws near pedals Added proper afterburner visual effects to human-controlled aircraft Adjusted afterburner effects inside exhaust for human-controlled aircraft Added Heatblur effect when afterburner is in use Added RB75 tutorial mission Added clickable area for the CI filter Fixed loading image not appearing Updated mission 2 of The Mjolnir Response Updated airborne intercept mission frequencies Fixed typos on various SP mission names Updated C-130 spawns on basic navigation tutorial Updated weapon display names Updated Airborne intercept mission frequencies Updated mission 8 Springfield 2 behaviour. Changed HUD brightness knob gains Updated RB-04 warhead for new ASM DCS parameters Fixed taxi-light MP sync. Fixed 6DOF head movement limitations in the cockpit Corrected oddly repeating / clipped texture on right-hand side of cockpit near IFF panel Corrected FLI night lighting on the FLI ball always being on. Fixed excessive “shininess” (roughness) on FLI ball baked AO Changed shader for FLI lighting and adjusted intensity Fixed flipped knee maps on in-cockpit pilot Mattified cover glass pieces in cockpit Fixed slightly incorrect shape of EP-13 glass Improved appearance of EP-13 glass textures and shader Fixed missing smoothing groups on interior of radarscope wall. Roll Trim Center button is now clickable Fixed RAT hydraulics sticking through into intake Fixed secondary LoDs not loading due to argument number assert Fixed toe-brake pedal animation not appearing Fixed various needles lacking night lighting illumination Fixed mirrored warning panel textures and incorrect non illuminated text. Fixed some texture repetition on the warning panel area. Fake radar bloom now scales accurately with radar brightness Fixed FLI Roll indicator moving in the wrong direction Slightly tweaked landing light intensity Fixed inoperative cabin pressure indicator Slightly reduced bloom emissivity on lights and indicators Adjusted all instant action missions for new weather rendering system Fixed Anti-collision light sprite MP sync Updated “Mjolnir Response” and “Wrath of Thunder” campaigns with new weather presets. Made emergency trim switches spring-loaded Edited April 14, 2021 by IronMike 6 4 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosen Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Some really good updates! Have only flown 30 minutes yet but this looks solid. I also noticed that the black smoke is finally gone when using AB Btw, the cockpit and HUD brightness are much better now! 3 i7-7700K @ 4.9 GHz | Gigabyte Aorus Geforce GTX 1080 Ti | 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 2400 MHz (2800 OC) | Asus Strix Z270E Gaming | Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD 1 TB | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD 500 GB | WD NAS Red 2TB SATA3 | Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H80i v2 | Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog | Saitek PRO rudder pedals | Valve Index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polonio78 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I have noticed that the afterburner turns off above 13k meters. Returning below 13k meters it comes back (all three lights on) but it does not give thrust at all. Edited April 14, 2021 by Polonio78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snappy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Is anybody else seeing that the HUD glas frame (top end of frame ) is missing in 2.7? I cleared the shaders after updating, but did not change aynthing else in graphic settings. Regards, Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew the viggen at high altitude just two days ago. I struggle with this information, because IMHO the bug that the AB always goes out at 14k was never fixed (despite it was marked as FIXED). It currently have no information about what exactly was fixed. I think HB might have meant that re-light is again possible below that altitude after their fix (at least this is what I can see right now in latest 2.5.6.OB).

Machalot Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I love the new afterburner effect, from the stage 1 warm glow up to stage 3 Godzilla's breath. DCS just crashed the second time I loaded a Create Fast Mission using the Viggen. It worked ok the first time. We'll see if this was just a fluke, hopefully. 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

Snappy Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Could you kindly take a look at this? After updating to 2.7 I'm seing this in some instant action missions, for example "Offensive counter air" and" tank busting " The Glass edges /Frame of the HUD is missing. Any idea what might be causing this? In other missions I don't have the problem. I'm using no mods, except the A-4E and I cleared my shaders folders after updating to 2.7 Also I didn't change any graphic settings after updating. No problems before in version 2.56.x Also, should the placard above the EP13 brightness and controls selectors look like this?

Toxic Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Can also confirm that the Viggen is only flyable one time in the MP servers. After that the game will ctd. dcs.log #CHOPPERLIVESMATTER http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought so, but sorry just to get it clear: Frosen, are you saying there should be a text there, but it is not in DCS in general at the moment due to a bug ? Or do you see the EP13 controls text on your installation and I'm having a texture issue on my system only ? I know the countermeasure switch in the 2nd picture used to be labelled wrong in DCS . But thats a seperate issue. Regards, Snappy Edited April 15, 2021 by Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet money this is an error in the code that initializes the aircraft's longitude or heading. That negative number is an angle in radians equal to about 16 degrees after unwrapping the full circle. Does that match any figures in the mission?
