I love how these videos always start with "Tonight" but always drop in the morning in my time zone. :)

[@UntitledGameplays]

Yep they drop at 7am for me

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

It isn't exactly "tonight" in CE(S)T locations either... Not yet, Kameraden. Not yet! (Romania is just one hour in advance)

[@Basilikum42069]

I always thought it was a top gear reference

[@hipgames]

As a matter a fact, it's 5 PM in Romania everytime I drop the video... but we treat the video for what it is, a show! Watched late or early, for us is tonight

[@FalconsLedge]

to get this message ;)

[@nimitzg]

I really appreciated the throughly work done in producing this content: Getting us DCS simmers on the latest updates for our modules , all in a well edited package with the commentary. Very tight and well prepared. These type of channels is the kind I subscribe and follow. 🎉

[@cadet5126]

i love it how more stable the flight control in chinook is now. kinda feels like flying a drone because of how effortless the flight input is

[@moiluck]

That’s little Petrovich’s chair now. My cat loves my cockpit and she jumps in every time I open that room door. I always fly with a cat laying on top

[@Hammy_on_twitch]

Another EXCELLENT video by the one and only AC. now someone bring me a rip it while i man a 240 on the chinook

[@thomaslamont3237]

Many, many thanks for keeping me up-to-date on the updates! 😊 Now I have to go and start an important download.

[@AdastraRecordings]

The new Kola summer textures are fantastic.

[@pickyfox9061]

Yay, MT and Chinook upgrade are hugely welcome but I have strange low-to-high texture loads switching from F10 to F1 after the last update. Anyway big thx for the good news!

[@Keagan-db9kz]

@@pickyfox9061 I also have had that issue as of recently. Wonder what changed that caused that to happen because I don't remember it happening a while ago but I noticed it last week

[@cornbread5144]

I've noticed a big improvement to my FPS since the update. Great video, oh and we know we what to make that Chinese Copter flyable 😊

[@lakota2-1warden]

ill be taking a look at it today

[@CrashEd1664]

The best news I’ve heard all day!😉 Many thanks as always 👍

[@korgen-rock]

Fantastic performance after last update in vr. Absolutely incredible 👌👌

[@Tom-qf3mq]

We absolutely must have DAFCS and AFCS for the CH-47F. I’m desperate for ED to implement these sorely needed stability modes, currently she’s a bloody nightmare to fly without them 😂 However, ED have a done a lot with this update, especially with all the work they’ve done on terrain, VRAM & VR.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Thank me and my sister Luna (instead of "god"...) I didn't try it yet. Not having FFB until this update and no stabilization autopilot channels must be a complete and utter nightmare on a Sidewinder FFB2. Moza still hasn't shipped my AB9 base yet...

[@HansTheilLuiz]

Always a pleasure to watch HIPs video bout the DCSs updates, too bad that now, sometimes my game crash when openning the F10 map 😂😂

[@hipgames]

Hot fix has been deploy for that issue just now. Thanks!

[@nicktownsend582]

I can't believe they'd tease us like that. New gyrocopter, but it's AI only?!! I want full fidelity multicrew combat dragonfly please!

[@nemisis_wolf]

Sorry guys but it looks like this amazing new performance update has done exactly the opposite for several members of the DCS School I'm in, and I'm also hearing lots of issues from the forums! I can't fly anymore due to terrible sound issues! The sound is cutting in and out 4 times a second it's awful totally unplayable! I trying a repair right now but not hopefull as it was a clean install just before this update!. Others have lag are being told they still need to update after updating and constant crashes! I really hope ED have got a quick fix for this! MY FFB Rhino is due for delivery tomorrow and if i cant fly in DCS I will not be happy!

[@MaverickM1]

Completelyopposite here. Playing in openxr vr only (oculus rift s) on 5800x3d + 4070ti ichill x3 and 64 gb ddr4. Prior the update with medium or a bit above medium settings I had constant 80 fps (native refresh rate of rifts). Now after the uodate , same mission, same system and I was able to almost max out everything. Even shadows, all detail sliders on max, water and clouds on max, dlss on quality. Only visibility range which was on low now I was able to raise with 2 levels. It was already great but now it is much nicer and still keeps the 80fps rock stable. Friend of mine plays on similar system but with quest 2 and his gpu is the standard 4070. Also no issues so far.

[@dj7duece]

Yeah i've been trying to update since yesterday but it runs it's course and then comes back to the same "Update Available" screen

[@nemisis_wolf]

@@MaverickM1 Nice to hear some are getting great improvements nice 👍

[@branjosnow6244]

I had to disable my Logitech mouse and keyboard software. Couldn't play multi-player with it running, very weird. Mouse just froze on screen.

[@nemisis_wolf]

Done a repair and clean up from the launcher and all seems well now. Not got any performance boost that I can see. But it's all back to working how it was. So 🤷

[@ghostgaming25771]

Keep it up I was late today but Petrovich u get some more dinner tonight

[@johanverhoeven3661]

Nice, Belgian viper skin.

[@mvaldman2001]

Thanks for this video! Could you get us an update on the Pimax Crystal Super? Any release date?

[@lybhydra5487]

I really hope this helps performance with the f4, which has been fairly lacking so far

[@Towbie442]

And another great video 🎉❤

[@rscuatc1]

Thanks for another great update Andrei. I am not into rotary wing aircraft but it is amazing to see what is being done with them in DCS. Btw what is your favorite aircraft to fly in DCS?

[@hipgames]

I usually fly the Viper and the Apache, but I can't say I have a favorite, I love all of them.

[@wash_out]

There was a smaller patch after the big one? At least after the big one my installer went to work again on something (640mb) never had this happen before.

[@toastie1488]

Should we be now using the dcs.exe in the bin folder or continue using the one in bin-mt folder? Looking at the dcs.exe it seems to be the same in each.

[@lambdacalculus8316]

The light at the stern of the supercarrier is still broken! Anyone?

[@StoneCoolds]

Did the update went live? Cuz when i try to update, it starts the process, verify files and then just closes and re opens the luncher like if nothing happened

[@MILSPECMOM]

be careful with that chair and cats! Mine is all scratched up at the back where all the pleather is, just an FYI. :) o7

[@hipgames]

Thanks for the TIP, Petrovich has no access here without me so should be safe but good to know!

Please help me😭. After the last update my game laggs very badly. Anyone else have this problem?

Another update came out today to fix F10 map crashes.

[@Lisa-Azra_Broad]

Any news on the Fulcrum release date?

Two Weeks(tm), as always XD

[@MichiG85]

I really dont understand why ED can provide new pilot models in the new modules but not for the BS3... It´s really a shame.

[@davidjames7382]

Andrei, NLR discount link still not working. Tried it again today

[@hipgames]

must be a problem on your browser as we already have a lot of traffic from the link. But thanks for letting me know just in case!

[@davidjames7382]

@hipgames thanks Andrei. I tried Firefox, Bing, and Microsoft edge..still didn't work.

[@hipgames]

Hm, will report to Next Level Racing today then!

[@MrPersonatus]

I would prefer that they finish the F16C rather than focus on the CH-47F

[@EpicNinjaRides]

As someone who has the NLR cockpit, it’s ok. The chair is not comfortable at all and you are very limited in the mounting of things like the MIP and where you can mount things like the keyboard tray if you have the MIP. Also good luck getting in and out if you have things mounted to the sides. You can add 4080 extrusions to the sides and make it a little more customizable but I’ve decided to build my own 4080 cockpit and using a power seat from a Mustang so I can fly long missions/training without my rear end hurting 30-45 min in.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Good to know, I was almost considering to see if it was worth getting one.

[@ullmannbh8958]

This new update causes me to crash when opening the f10 map on multi player. This also happens with my friends. I am baffled how ED manages to absolutley f#$% something up after every update

[@vicseth5556]

cant update, stuck on downlaoding new updater...

[@belevezero2279]

Viper TWS mode still useless on my end. This was what I was looking forward to most and its a let down

[@delta9990]

Im like 4 updates away from not having enough space for dcs, I had to delete syria :(

[@AdastraRecordings]

I had to delete 5 maps ffs.

[@sandman11]

That’s a tough sacrifice to make. Syria is an incredible map.

[@Jeremy61300]

With Black Friday around the corner I’m saving up for a 4tb nvme

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

I have 402GB worth of just maps offloaded to my 2nd, slower SSD (only Gen 3 speed, capped by the socket) and junctions (move specific maps somewhere else and then do the _mklink / j [name] [target]_ command in the terrains folder). But I still had to free up space. Just shy of 210GB was not enough for updating... BTW you can also move the temporary download folder somewhere else with the junction stuff, it's _downloads right in the DCS folder. Put that somewhere else. Only had 165GB free on the drive that DCS sits on and it worked with that. The not enough space messages depend on the location of that download folder.

[@johanverhoeven3661]

@@Jeremy61300 does it exist? I only find 2TB nmve SSD. THE 4TB are only SATA.

[@peaceofhell1]

Someday, probably, ill try to play this "game". In order to do that i already bought vr, hotas and gtx4070super. Now i need 1tb ssd and at least 32gb more ram. Ffs... Why cant someone make a war thunder, but with meaningful pve?

[@Lucas_WAZZAA]

Because it probably wont be profitable, the closest you can come is Strike Fighters 2

[@MrPersonatus]

You will need more than 1TB NVME to enjoy this flight sim with all its maps

[@TechGaming45]

The September 30th update is great.. just getting use to VR...

[@hipgames]

Good one! The September 30 Update actually but yeah

[@TechGaming45]

@@hipgames forgot how many days there are in September.. I blame work.

[@Turbonix_LP]

Spotting dots in VR are just crap now!! Now we have huge black blobs overlapping the real object´s models from 2-3nm to 60nm wich is just silly, annoying, absolutely unrealistic and immersion breaking. and it is not possible to turn them off in the game´s main menu option. also changing resolution, Antialiasing or DLSS settings doesn´t make any difference.. sad frustrating AMD 7800X3D RTX4080 64GB RAM Quest3

What about RAZBAM and the F-15E? Is this subject not going to be addressed?

[@lukewilliams8835]

It’s over bro the F15 is dead and will be for ever regardless of ED addressing it. The f15 will never be updated

He already addressed it, nothing new has come out

​@@lukewilliams8835 nothing has been confirmed

[@onyoursix2268]

Make sure quad view is working, you have to tick it inside DCS now or it won't kick in. Might explain your performance drop.

Performance improvement 😂 Are you sure? I don't think so

[@hipgames]

We are 100% sure, but that doesn't mean everyone gets to benefit from it. Remove your mods, check your system and settings. Mixed experience is expected but our tests for the last 2 days are showing improvements.

[@pn641]

@@hipgames thank you for the reply Remove mods you mean delete and reinstall the official.or third party? Piax XR is not getting even half the frames I used to get. I had to go back to SteamVR and reuse image rendering to 70% to get 50 fps I use to have over 70fps 100% resolution b4 the update 10900K / 3090 Pima8KX

[@BumpyLumpy1]

​@@pn641 I had a much more pleasant experience with the update. make sure that quad view is working. you have to enable it in Pimax for DCS to detect it in the settings.

[@pn641]

I will give it a try

[@jaromirandel543]

please add time stamps

[@hipgames]

Video came a bit late due to ---- a lot of work on it - Timestamps will be added in a few minutes.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

2:25 I hope that means they're more visible now without having them being too visible. Any kind of air to air engagement has literally been impossible to deal with for me for almost 8 years now since my eyes initiated their self-destruction mechanism... and I don't like using (dot) labels that are visible though the cockpit frame, which ED never fixed. Because _THAT_ is VERY visible in VR. 3:49 Noice. I hope it can be set up specifically for non-eye tracking HMDs as well. 3:55 I wish they did with their own partners... RAZBAM left the chat. 3:58 LOL! Kinda wanna fly that thing... XD 5:15 NOW I'm glad I didn't even try it yet as I'm still waiting for my Moza base. Not having FFB in a module kinda makes it unflyable for an FFB2 user like me. 6:31 No way! Does that mean we're having AMRAAMs on it? 8:02 Now that's hilarious! Need to check that out XD
