Lusekofte Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I like it. And I heard nothing but praise. I only visited Berlin so far. 1
Dagwoodyt Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Just flew the P47D after a long break only to discover that the landing gear upgrade causes numerous graphical anomalies in replays that can have the airframe beating itself into scrap metal after a successful landing. Are these anomalies new or was the landing gear upgrade deployed knowingly with regard to replay incompatibility?
Art-J Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) ^ Yes, It affects all three planes with revised landing gear physics. I guess it's going to be taken care of by the devs only when more planes get the gear treatment and thus more players start nagging about the issue. It's still not clear if there's a reliable workaround for the problem. Recently I got it when watching a P-51 track immediately after mission, but next day, when loading it again with all controllers plugged off, it replayed perfectly fine. Edited April 26 by Art-J

It's a pointless upgrade if the landing cannot be observed accurately even once in external views. Each playback can show different anomalies🤣 The I-16 is the only warbird left that is free of these laughable defects. Just as well they leave it alone. The question remains though as to whether they released this so-called "upgrade" knowing it would destroy landing replays.
Art-J Posted April 27 Posted April 27 They very well might have. After all, the whole replay system is meant to be a dev tool rather than player tool and we're not supposed to be using it all that much. Be happy that you've managed to get a good playback all the way till landing 😄. For most guys the shaking bit begins already during taxiing before takeoff. But again, results may vary if track is played after reboot. I've just watched two short tracks I saved yesterday. Today, Thunderbolt one worked 100% fine till the end, but Mosquito one got seizures as soon as the plane started rolling on the apron.

Since when are landings optional?🤣 Been using DCS' replay system since 2021, always checking my landings, especially for crosswind landings. It looks like ED is abandoning its' warbirds and just trying to sell more "stuff" to make ends meet. I've not bought anything from them since the F4e started throwing Defender flags. No plans to buy anything ED in the future if they're satisfied to wreck modules I've previously purchased. another random replay permutation🙃 Edited April 27 by Dagwoodyt
MiGCap Posted April 29 Posted April 29 (edited) Good to hear that others have the P-47 replay track problems, too. Even after successful landings the tail gear collapses and the rudder falls off ... I've started to check via F2 after landing if everything is right and don't give a damn on the replay track anymore. The not retracting gear is also a problem I've encountered already, I check this via F2, too. I just reported the bug in the DCS forum.

RedeyeStorm Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Replay has been notoriously unreliable for many if not all modules and has been for many, many years. 1

I know that playback has been working reliably for me in recording simple airfield circuits and in initial playback of 1v1 dogfights. There was a time when it would often err even on first DF playback. I routinely review my landings and have not seen DCS fail first playback. The problem with landing playback seems isolated to the warbird modules that have the upgraded landing gear. Spitfire landing playback still works for me without issue. I'm assuming it does not have the "upgraded" LG (?)

Aapje Posted May 1 Posted May 1 19 hours ago, Hoss said: The true story, or so we believe.... He's clearly being fed information from the pro-ED side of things, so it's a very one-sided story. For example, the video makes it seem like Razbam got presented with a very fair contract by ED that would ensure that they would get well-paid for making the Super Tucano with the blessing from ED, but the leaked allegation document talks about ED suffering damages because of Razbam, and that Razbam would have to pay for those damages. That is completely left out of the video. Also, the leaked allegation document states that the Ecuadorian Air Force actually had a contract with another company (whose name is blanked out) to make the simulator, not with Razbam. This is also left out of the video, even though this could mean that certain IP violations that Razbam gets blamed for, are actually the fault of that other company.

I've spent a bit of time on it and it's pretty damn good. There are some issues that will be ironed out, and performance has been good even since pre-release days and will only get better I think. My main quibble was some tree/rubber stamp stuff going on but that turned out to just be areas that were not yet finished...so all good there. For me it's a better helo map than jet map because it's not so scenic from up high, but that's just me. I haven't flown up north over the water yet but that might be the sweet spot scenery-wise. I've been stuck doing work with Syria and Afghanistan, and that's not going to end for a while. On 2/3/2025 at 9:59 AM, DD_fruitbat said: And time consuming....

Hope to see it within the next three years. Would fit perfectly to the german map and a good friend of mine was flying them 30 years ago when he was stationed at Bueckeburg.

Gambit21 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) Been testing for a few weeks now...but not much time with it still in my case. I have some ideas for mission content but need more assets. These guys put so much work into this thing, above and beyond in the detail. Edited June 20 by Gambit21 2

DD_fruitbat Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Its a fun module from the little time I've had to play with it so far. I actually really like the cockpit layout, well thought out for the time! 5
AndyJWest Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Somewhat anachronistic inspection landing. I'm not sure Harriers are really compatible with wooden flight decks. 🔥🔥🔥🧯

Rather, turned into the deck at the last second in order to keep an eye on the deck/LSO.

BrotKasting Posted August 3 Posted August 3 For you guys interested but unaware of it: And don´t kill me for a different position on preorder one might have. It is about the aircraft. Which might be seen as welcome change in the military flight sim community. 1
AndyJWest Posted August 3 Posted August 3 It's an interesting choice certainly. Looks well-modelled too.
Trooper117 Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Good for those that like 'Fat Albert'... I won't be interested in buying it though.
[CPT]Crunch Posted August 3 Posted August 3 I'll wait and see how the flight modeling is, the mod was no where close to having its feel. It's an airplane where you exceed certain limits you are going to die.
