Eh, we have IAF skins for the Bug, so I think if it’s good enough then ED would probably include it.
They added Canadian skins for the Hornet despite the model not being right for their aircraft. So they arent as stickler as they let on.
There’s even an RCAF digital camo A-10C skin!
I don’t wish to start another whine thread so I’ll just ask here. I’ve been away from multiplayer for a bit. Since coming back I’ve been getting really long screen freezes, especially when being locked by another player. Freezes are often 3-7 seconds or longer. The 3 servers I’ve experienced this on are the only 3 I have played: Buddyspike PG; Hollo Point; and 107th Caucuses. Is this a new thing or a “me” thing? Thanks.
Which airframes are giving this issue?
Harrier. Hornet. So really? It’s just me? I mean I guess that’s good.
We don’t have a baseline on your system, but for us there haven’t been much issues recently.
Some notes here also to benefit anyone else reading and in need.
Is Single Player smooth as butter?
Have you cleared the FXO and Metashaders folders in SavedGames\DCS recently? The updates of late may make this a useful debugging step again.
Is DCS installed on C? Another disk? HDD/SDD/NVMe SSD? Disk activity can cause long stutters as DCS loads the next area of the map etc.
Total RAM on system? PG map will use well into the 20GB+ range (total system, OS etc included) if you have 32GB+ on board.
Check for CPU activity per core while playing - I had poor running for a while due to a bad update to Corsair’s iCue which resulted in the first core being 100% loaded all the time and DCS also used to bias to that core…always something oddball to lookout for.
We can test PvP radar locks, just looking for more variables to cut out!
Thanks @Wes!
Single player is smooth. Not buttery smooth as this is VR. But no different than previously. It’s on D: (HDD). Lots of memory. Don’t think that’s a concern. I’ll try the rest. But since the rest of you are trouble-free I’m not too concerned. Stutters and freezes are nothing new in my relationship with DCS. What is new are the lengthy freezes when spiked by another player. [EDIT] So about that. It seems to happen during the first 2 or 3 spikes after joining the server. After that each spike has little to no adverse affect. As queried on SRS and others have experienced it but not enough to be a problem for them.
It almost sounds like a sound stutter as it loads into memory or something.
As a test, next time you are planning on flying MP, before you join a server try loading an SP mission where you get radar spikes early, then quit and join the MP. DCS is pretty good about performance boosts the 2nd time loading, and if the stutters happen in SP before MP it’s not a big deal.
A new catagory has appeared in the DCS Forums …DCS: A-10C II Warthog…
Can’t wait to see The Trailer for this One!!!
Wait…does that mean its proper name is DCS A-10C II Thunderbolt II: Electric Boogalo: The Wrath of Warthog?
Now say that as one of those super-long German compound words!

Couldn’t have translated it better…
You have made my day, thank you!
