Made me look…
Mine was on the C:Drive, which is SSD but system managed. So for grins I’m going with the same numbers. We’ll see how it likes dem apples.

I’m surprised you get 10 frames per hour running at 4.4mhz! :crazy_face:

Well, Alan Turing would probably be impressed.

Is anyone else having weird and random bugs? The Harrier screens look overly bright now. The Radar/Baro mode switch in the Viggen is INOP until you try a random other switch. That sort of thing?

So far, that’s pretty much 2.5.6 in a nutshell.

Well, just d/l’d the Sabre…internal cockpit sounds cut out after about 10 minutes; quiet cockpit; no gun sounds. External sounds works fine? Still searching for answer…

[Edit] Ok, seems this has been an on-again/off-again issue. Thread on this topic starts in 2016! Latest reproduction reported 2020-04-15. BigNewy replied they are looking into it.

Was starting to enjoy it (via Free-Month). Kinda eerie like that.

The harrier flir seems brighter on the hud at night. Sky is really painful on the eyes, I don’t know if there is a setting for lowering the brightness

I found that yesterday …seems lilke a known bug … it happened when ED changed the lighting in 2.56, the NVG are fine but the HUD flir is terrible

Mustang does the same thing. Odd sound anomalies in cockpit. Engine sound replaced by a weird sound that might be a G-load rumble? But while flying straight and level. I’d report it, but I’m one of the toxic ones, so I’m ignored.

I noticed the wingtip lights on the mustang light up the inside of the wings and can be see at the panel joins… i think they still have some work to do on the new lighting engine

That’s why it’s still beta, of course!

I went and installed the MiG 15, 19, F-5, Mirage, and JF-17. Discovered all the MiGs taxi the same until we get to the 29! I wonder if the 23 had already switched to NWS, because that narrow track seems to be less conducive to main gear braking.

Of course they didn’t list any FPS improvements, they wouldn’t dare…

Yeah the FPS loss when bellying in vipers was really what was killing it for me :stuck_out_tongue:

I feel like the change log left some stuff out. 5gb’s of download for 4 changes?

843

Possibly fixes for Stennis in MP not listed…because they were broke in last patch?

844

But… in the MiG-29…
