Get yours now...

Looks to be quite chunky....  HARMS on the pylons for the F18 so they should be ready to play soon :)
: Re: Beta Update

I'll say it's a bit-big.

I have updated both servers so they're done.
: Re: Beta Update
: Mako December 21, 2018, 12:07:36 PM

Those HARMS look sexy - looking forward to some SEAD fun and games ;)

Yet another OB update today -a few things especially for the F-15 and Hornet.

I'll UD the dedi now.

: Mako March 22, 2019, 10:10:32 PM

Guys - just an update - myself and Fusion were on the server earlier and experienced some crash issues while in the F14.  Seemed ok in the F18 and A10 etc so issue is likely to be when flying the F14.

Might be an issue for Sunday?
: Re: Beta Update
: Fusion March 23, 2019, 08:24:09 AM
Looks like they are aware of it and are investigating. Does seems to be the F-14 that’s suffering the CTD.

Some have also reported not being able to get back into the map after putting a marker down so perhaps be careful with that one too.

I expect we’ll get a hotfix soon but maybe not in time for Sunday.
: Re: Beta Update
: 159th_Archer March 23, 2019, 09:50:26 AM
OK thx for the HU -we'll see how things are looking before the Sunday flight whether to ground the F-14s till fixed.
: Re: Beta Update
: Mako March 23, 2019, 10:39:22 AM

Doesn't look like the crash effects people that aren't in the F14 tbh.   Its just a bit annoying given the time it takes to restart the bloody thing every time!

Mind you if its not fixed its a good opportunity to refresh what we were flying before....  Otherwise its easy to press a button to launch the plane on the Cat when you dont need to... and oh I don't know... roll gently into the sea..... Not that anyone would be daft enough to do that, but you get my drift.

Cough

Heatblur have fixed the issue but are waiting on ED to sort out the hotfix - so it could still be days unless ED are willing to play ball...

: Re: Beta Update

I’ve ha toe crashes in single player - MP was ok tho.... (F14)
: Re: Beta Update
: 159th_Axman March 29, 2019, 05:45:57 AM
Is that single player using Jester in MP, or SP offline?
: Re: Beta Update
: Mako March 29, 2019, 06:56:41 AM

Both - but I only had crashes offline.
: Re: Beta Update
: 159th_Archer March 29, 2019, 09:00:14 AM
The dedi was updated with the latest hotfix, so hopefully they fixed jester issue?

No issues for me on the sever this evening.

On the bright side - there’s now the option to hide the joystick on the F14 ;)

Good to know you haven't had any issues. Yes, I've hit that key a lot when accessing the comms menu. It's a welcomed addition though.

Big OB update out today -amongst a lot of things this promises to fix a memory leak in MP -so get it installed and hope it fixes stuff. Lot of Tomcat stuff fixed or ammended.
: Re: Beta Update
: Mako June 08, 2019, 07:49:08 AM

Both myself and Fusion took the Beta for a bit of a test run last night.  Had some initial stuttering and some issues with crashes to desktop, but nothing too bad.

One the plus side the F14 cockpit appears a lot sharper and the sonic boom is impressive!!
: Re: Beta Update
: 159th_Archer June 08, 2019, 09:03:50 AM
Did the crashes look like they're going to be a big issue or just an occaisional thing?
: Re: Beta Update
: Mako June 08, 2019, 09:11:21 AM

Ive just had a crack offline with the F14 and crashed again...

Would suggest the F14 is an issue as F18 seems to be ok

Hmm -if that's a general finding we perhaps better park the 'cat till we can be sure it isn't an issue?

Finally we get the TGP for the F18.

Mako - I got it working for JDAMS and Laser bombs in the end. It's not too bad to use but it has its quirks.

But you can pick out long distance targets and throw JDAMS from a long way away still.

Might not be quite so useful for the JSOW though.

I haven't upgraded to the beta.
Could this be why I stopped seen many MP servers I used to in the MP server selection screen?

Yeah I think you will only see those that are not updated.
: Re: Beta Update
: 159th_P0intman August 02, 2019, 10:40:16 PM
Ok.  Makes sense.  I still run the Steam version so I only get the production-type releases.
: Re: Beta Update
: 159th_Axman August 03, 2019, 05:28:21 PM
I’m pretty sure I’ve read you can opt into the beta version in the same way as other steam titles.

Another OB update out today. 6/11/19

DCS 2.5.5.39003 Open Beta   very few updates. Mostly concerning the C-101.
Good to see Aviodev continues supporting it, that sends a positive signal that if they manage a new module they will invest into it for a long time.
The C-101 has been out like >=3 years.

I bought it to support the devs.
