Hey guys, in the latest update to DCS there were a number of small additions and fixes that all come together to make a HUGE difference to our experience in our favorite flight simulator!

Best channel intro jingle in the whole DCS community.

[beastfamdraws]

Yes, I'd like to see tutorial on tac turns. :)

[alex.mortz]

Dcs really is looking beautiful here 😍😍

[JunSato]

Thank you for keeping us updated Spud, love the content keep it up man

[gpjuan]

I turned off heat blur because of that effect. So i can user it :)

[drstelsjo]

must say i love the ultrawide format, im watching on a 34" screen

[adamking]

Id love to see a tac turn explination video

[Skyrideradv]

Tac Turn Tutorial with side by side Tac View overlay would be excellent. I would add, in addition to that, something similar for BVR cross block

[SoyyBoii]

my best guess would be that the heatblur is rendered as a post-process effect, so it was essentially pasting it on tope of everything else that was being rendered in game

[flightpowersims]

Thank you for showing us the updates. Hugs to you.

Regarding the HUD, I'd say the explanation would be more like this: the engine blur effect is most likely a pixel shader effect, which means it's just a post processing effect on an already rendered frame. Not to draw this effect on stuff that's closer the the player there is some z-buffer cut-off of stuff that's closer than the engine. But the HUD is transparent, so it can't be cut-off (as you wouldn't see this effect when looking through HUD at all) and so the effect (pixel sharer) was probably run over a framebuffer with HUD already rendered effecting it in the process.

Such things are annoying to fix as you need to render the frame in stages (akin or fully like deferred rendering) to overlay such things in correct order.

Thanks. I like your videos because you also explain little things that affect single players and newcomers well. And your information is always appreciative, which cannot be said of some political leadership. ;-) Keep up the good work!

man your track ir is just whats your secretttt

[kornykidd]

The hud thing has been a small bother for me for years. Nice to see it gone now😂

[billcedarheath]

It’s about time the hud blur got fixed. It was one of my pet peeves that really annoyed me. Now I’ll have to find a new pet peeve. 😂

[costsas]

Hi Spud. Was wondering if you still use the TrackIR profile you once shared a couple years ago or if you created a new one since?

[SDscrch]

i seem to recall someone on the ED forums asking for a content creator to demo this (hi!)

[EXit]

Did they at least fix the fact that the HUD in Ultrawide is too thick and blurred?

[flydogone]

I found there is no need to go through the menu if the player initiates a Tac Turn. Just turn, the AI will perform his turn automatically.
