I tested out the live stream performance of the new build. It looks so much better then it did before, and I believe I can squeeze a little more quality out of it.
I made a custom mission in DCS World to try out some JTAC bombing runs with a friend. I setup an AI to lase targets for us to bomb with GBU-12s.
The Mirage has proven to be a wonderful aircraft to fly in DCS World. It’s not that difficult to operate. The startup, weapons employment, and just basic flying around are all a breeze compared to some aircraft. It is not much harder then flying a Flaming Cliffs 3 jet. The fact I could finally get some AI units to lase things for me was great news!
The M2000-C is wonderful, but it is not meant for ground attack. The C variant is more of an air superiority type jet. So, its bombsight is kinda terrible. If it’s a soft, large, or stationary target, you might be able to hit it. I could get close to tanks with the Snakeye, but not enough to kill them. I was 1 for 8 in just being able to damage a T-90.
I was 4 for 4 with the GBU-12s in my first sortie. The AI JTAC locks onto a wreck for the next several bombs. I tried to get him to shift targets, JTAC acknowledges it, and it did not work. In addition to that, my radar key bindings were not working. It made it difficult to adjust my radar to short range bandits. It also made me repeatedly die to some antique jets. Sigh, you can’t adjust the controls in multiplayer.. I think. So much shit changes with the newest builds, it’s hard to keep up with it all.
Here it is if you’d like to give it a view. In retrospect I probably should edit out the 1st minute or so, but the transcoding decreases video quality. I’m kinda amazed the stream looks as good as it does, I’d rather not mess it up. Although it wouldn’t hurt to try.
