2 am, im going to sleep, i already gave ED a long list of bugs.

Thanks skate- I learned that one from our issues a couple months ago. All missions were already opened and renamed and resaved!

I do the same with any new mission or update from crew.

Hi guys, glad you are being the pathfinders on this update I'm going to hold off for awhile.
Just wondering if you tested CBU-87s. Any changes there?

I've read numerous reports that the CBU issue still exists- as does the low flying dust fps hit.


I've also read that it doesn't negatively impact anything- mind you there are still things that simply aren't fixed... I can't see any reason to hold off right now- especially with the various "rock solid MP" comments I'm hearing over in the ED forums.

C'mon... do-et!

The new much hyped TWS on the Mig29/R77 combo is also broken ... both missiles go for the same target

i didnt have that problem last night... will re-test it, I shot myself down with an AIM-120 in my F-15C though...

as for dust, rename or remove the shader for it stops the hit, the CBU and Dust FPS hit wasnt addressed.
(smokecloud.pfx is the file you wanna rename/move/delete to stop the dust FPS hit). Located in /<DCSROOT>/Bazar/Effects/PFX/

That's good to know. Does that affect the rooster tails behind ground units moving through fields as well though?

Also is it like smoke where you can go in and cut the particle effect down or is it just an "on-off" thing?

no idea.. as I havent had the need to disable it.

How'd that happen Skate? Blew up as it left the plane?

how'd what happen?

The self shootdown..

Suppose he got himself in front of his own missile while it was active. That's a new one though... :p

yeah, was testing AIM120 at different ranges when all the "Nerfed" posts started on ED Boards.

I hit all 3 long range targets (granted they didnt have countermeasures).

the 4 was closer, i was down on the deck dodging SAMs, and he was at Angels 20, So I pulled back hard, and went vertical around 75-80 degrees at 450 knots, locked him up, held the weapon release button, then boom.

When i watched the track, the missile had launched and vectored right into my own aircraft.

Ahhhh wow. That's unfortunate. Reminds me of a similar (sorta) Tomcat story..

I'd love to see your list of bugs, Skate, but didn't see them at the ED forums - I must be looking in the wrong place. Can you post link(s)?

I emailed them to ED, as I didnt want to start a new thread in each section, i think i posted 3 threads for the EDM issues and it was going on 2AM so I just emailed them with desc.

I have at least 15 EDM bugs, F-15C, New SU-27 EDMs especially. the alot of Mission editor bugs, which all of them they knew about.

Also have a bunch of little stuff, i think most of them I was told was already on the "bug tracker" they have, so they already knew about most of them.

I noticed earlier that JTAC wasn't working- but it may be because of something I did between 1.1.1.1 and 1.22 that made them not work while trying to fix them- so I'll take a second look at that.

I've had the playground up with tankers throughout last night- not sure if they're working or not so it'd be good to get some feedback on them.

Also, JTAC in the Playground- if someone can report as to whether or not they're responsive to normal radio procedure- that would be great. I'm thinking they're still botched... but I could use a pleasant surprise!

The server paused when empty feature on slmod seems to be working okay- it is unpausing when the first slot is populated. This is nice because it prevents units / tankers from expiring or piling up while people aren't there...

I'm still looking for a way to add priviledges to our regulars so that the team hitting etc stuff doesn't affect us as much- typically this team hitting can apply during bumps, or during an accidental issue- which is less likely to happen to our regulars- knowing who they are. I'm going to ask Speed about that tonight and see if it's something he's working on.

Sorry guys-

Not sure what happened but the server dropped off teamviewer a few minutes ago and I'm quite certain I'm not going to have it back on until sometime later this morning. I was hoping to get some mission editing done- it's weird that it dropped that way. I suspect it was either a network outage or a power outage- Possible that the computer crashed but I sure hope that isn't the case.

Anyway- it'll be back on eventually. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I played the firehouse Highway last night I was flying the SU-25 and when I got to glen it would only let me refuel and rearm cannon. It would not let me repair. I forgot to check the version. Although I know there was shilka s on the highway. The game seemed very stable though and frame rates were best I have seen.
