DCS Discussion

I started DCS this morning and there was a big update - I was hopeful, but the cat wasn't there. At least I got the DCS update out the way ready though

Its out. Try again.

Not seeing it - v2.5.4.28  :'(

I had to use the command line on DCS_Updater.exe to force an update. This isn't the first time I've had to do this - but it is updating  :clap:

She is BEAUTIFUL. Handles alot better than I thought. Even landed it (ground, not carrier)

There's really nothing going on in this video...just a short clip to prove to myself more than anything that I am finally in the cockpit of a Tomcat 

I still can't get over one MFD  :DD

I actually only have BETA installed - I can't recall what the other version is? Release? Don't see the point of it - as I buy into beta aircraft which I believe is one of the purposes of beta. I've not really had much in the way of any noticeable issues running BETA either. Never a crash (apart from landing  ) and seems to play fine.

WHich version does the multiplayer population hang out in?

It sure is a beautiful aircraft, but I don't think I will ever master it. It is so different from the Hornet and I was so uncomfortable with the cockpit, the systems and having to constantly ride the trim...I'm just so used to fly by wire. It takes a lot of concentration and time for me to read a lot of those analog dials and gauges.

Just wow.

Yeah I literally jumped in and flew around for 20 minutes and just looked around.

I don't do online so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

I meant to mention...I've noticed a performance hit since the beta update. Quite a bit of stuttering...anybody else?

Not last night on my 20 minute flight. There wasn't alot about mind you but I did come in to land around a town. I didn't notice anything then.

Jarhead are you using Bit Defender by any chance?
There seems to have been an update of that app causing USB device to cycle constantly causing stuttering.
