large military chemical processing plant is under construction. I think only carpet bombing will be effective enough. Since there will be a lot of repeating structures placed in different positions, the Factory will be placed as a fortifications template.

Optical Sight 'Normal' and 'Simplified' attitude scales are implemented on a single ribbon now, with a visible animation when the scale type is changed. Implemented animated transition between the 'radar command bar' and the 'gun firing reticle' symbols. These symbols are physically placed on the same reticle ('Moving reticle'). Other systems fixes: Fixed IDN mode switch initial position in F1EE: The animation position didn't match the internal value, so the indicator moves now correctly after selecting the first mode switch position. Added timer to weight on wheels sensors to avoid the antislip kicking in when the wheels were not yet fully in the air. Fixed an error in the VOR/ILS test - direction of the horizontal needle movement was inverted. Fixed Standby Horizon initialization pitch error at hot start. Fixed R550 timeout logic at missile station selection - now the 'hardwired' 34 seconds timeout (gyros spool up timeout by a timer relay) is applied only when the "Matra 550 or SW missile" switch is turned ON. Fixed the initialization of the mechanical clock hours hand when the aircraft start time is more than 12:00 PM. 3D model and textures: Adjusted spherical Indicator airplane symbol. Miscellaneous: Implemented mirrors position control by mouse axis, in addition to the existing clickable 'on/off' action. Cockpit mirrors now can be toggled On/Off by 'Toggle Mirrors' key. Fixed left mirror, it doesn't freeze anymore at certain view angles. Training missions: Updated startup training mission: Highlighted NWS high sensitivity button. Specified that the "I" key on the keyboard sets the throttle to idle. Updated the taxi, takeoff and climb training mission: Added the need to press the U + V pushbutton in the radio selector unit. Improved the TACAN in T/R mode trigger, no need to reset the T/R position. Landing training mission minor fixes. Updated ground attack training missions: The sight is set in NORMAL mode instead of APP mode. Modified sight depression figures. Added Sinai missions (Quick Start and Single Player for both Mirage F1CE and Mirage F1EE). DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev Fixed the initialization of the mechanical clock hours hand when the aircraft start time is more than 12:00 PM.

In regards to controlling missiles in my assets. I have explained this many times in the forum thread (I will add an entry in the FAQ). It's not that I don't know how to add the Combined Arms features of radars and missile control. The issue is that if you use them, all advanced features are removed. You basically make all SAMs the same. I have yet to find a way to implement different seeker head types or the correct number of missile channels when using the CA control feature. And I primarily make my assets for AI use so I will always prioritize the real life characteristics before human control. If I can implement human control without sacrificing real life characteristics and features - I will do it. That's why most guns are human controllable.

These were added in as well at the last minute. Thank you ED - Updated: Engine texture with "NO PUSH" and "NO STEP" Stenciling. - Added: 48th FW 70 Year Anniversary Liberty Heritage. - Added: Tiger Meet of the Americas 2005 Livery. - Added: Darkness Falls Livery. - Added: AF89-501 (Shark Mouth) Livery. - Fixed: Material error used by BORT Numbers. - Fixed: Small 3D model normal errors due to damage model of the Avionics Bays/Radome. - Fixed: Nose Door Numbers for 2000 and 2001 Liveries. - Changed: Main menu icon graphic.

F-15EX V1.7 has entered final testing!

New in the Hog from DCS version 2.8.7.42583 is the posibility to copy markpoints to existing waypoints. ("Copy Feature for UFC and CDU" in the change log) Until today, whenever you had a markpoint displayed on the CDU or hooked on the TAD, you could press the OSB 9, labelled "?x" on the CDU or OSB 17, lablled "x?" on the TAD to create a new waypoint with the nr x From this path, before pressing the OSB, you can enter an existing waypoint number or name on the scratchpad. Result will be that the corresponding waypoint will be overwritten with the data from the markpoint you had on the CDU or hooked on the TAD. Practical example: You have a waypoint 8, called TGT. in the target area, after you attacked TGT, you spot another target. With any sensor available to you, you create a markpoint on that new target. After that, perform one of the following actions: On the CDU (repeater): enter "TGT" or "8" on the scratchpad and press OSB 9, labelled "?x" On the TAD: Hook the markpoint you just created, enter "TGT" or "8" on the scratchpad and press OSB 17, labelled "x?" Both actions will result in waypoint 8/TGT been overwritten with the data from the markpoint on the new target. It's not a huge gamechanger, but it's a handy little tool.

Dear all, as always we would like to ask you for your kind feedback. Mainly the RB-05 fixes finally made it in that were left out the previous patch (our apologies again), we added Quickstart missions for Sinai and we were able to fix the EP13 black screen flicker. We hope you enjoy the patch and thank you for your kind feedback and continued support! Team Heatblur DCS AJS-37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations NEW: Added Quickstart Missions for DCS: Sinai map. RB-05 Overhaul: Fixed RB-05 only able to be steered with radar in A0. Fixed launched RB-05s automatically setting radar to A0 (without moving the switch). Fixed subsequent launches sending the first missile to Valhalla. Fixed steering commands being sent to the missile beyond 30s. Fixed Black Screen during EP13 operation. Set the default position of manual fuel regulator to AUTO.

They changed the particle for water explosion. Still looks way too bright to me. I'll work on it later. For now, if you're getting the error, delete both waterExplosion files in /Bazar/shaders/ParticleSystem2/ Below are new default.

These fixes were primarily on ED side, and should improve the overlofting as well as looping during lofts, and the erratice post-notch behavior as the missile pitches up instead of trying to re-acquire the target. We had very good results during testing. It is possible that ED/we may follow up with further improvements as a small part of the fix did not make it in yet, but will be included in the next patch, hence the careful wording of "improved" instead of "fixed" for this patch.

good to hear.

Slow load times appear to be fixed.

Very thankful for the large list of F15E bug fixes

This was literally a one character change, which seemed worth doing for all the people who try to use this as a BFM exploit (aka nearly everyone who asks about it). Spending a total of 3 seconds on code changes relevant to this topic is about as much as it deserves.

Every time someone asks about the MCB circuit breaker this chance will increase another 300%

For me It is fixed. From Desktop to main DCS menu in 20 seconds. Have not tried to go in MP yet

On a monday.. how bizarre

@DD_Friar Thank you for your comments, which I regret not having seen before the release of 2.0. I also have to make a patch in the next few days, I will integrate your patch and thank you for it. Tanuki44

Work on airbases has started. Once again, I make use of a modified version of SharkPlanner. It saves me a lot of time compared to what I used to do to draw Caucasus airbases.

Took these pics a few years back at a bro’s retirement ceremony. 86-0186 E004. The fourth Strike built and the first delivered to Luke back in 1988. I crewed her for about 4 years. I believe she’s a 336th jet now.

It does not show in the release notes, but the 25 de Mayo now shows in the Mission Editor, so the workaround which broke the integrity checks is no longer needed (gets replaced by the patch install) - thanks RAZBAM!

Thanks, added to the bug list. Priority - medium

Thank you for the feedback!

I think the MT won't call the updater. Try run the standard version. Once updated, you can run the MT-shortcut again.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks Polychop!! The new update brings Gazelle alive finally!! the engine power is much better than before. It is now able to run in the battle field. I was very disappinted the new FM earlier but noticed how hard to make new 3D module correctly. My apology! will support Polychop as a big fan and will buy Kaiowa when it comes. Thanks again!! Love it

Wow, the Gazelle feels so much lighter/twitchier ; I bought the module the other week when the fuel mass bug was present & it definitely felt very heavy. This is a night and day difference. I can now do a vertical take off with 90% fuel and 4 mistrals, whereas previously it was struggling to get past 5 ft running empty.

Sincere apologies yet again, I still did not get to it. I also decided to add the Sinai missions first, so folks have something to play with on Sinai. Thank you also @Rick_NSX for providing the above fixes, the help here is much appreciated.

Can we have working pilot visor in the Hornet ? Or to be more precise a helmet visor so we can lower it when its too bright just like in the M2000C and the F-15E.

I think you misunderstood. It's not that I don't understand the different parameters to configure radars or weapons. You can't just use the term "realistic SAM behavior", it's too generic. Most of the HDS SAMs are TVM based (hence the behavior you mentioned), which is a lot different from beam riding, SACLOS, IR, SARH or ARH based systems. All of these types and combinations are realistic in their own way. But I wouldn't say no to have ED implement more parameters and features, for example LOAL. Or a combination of different seekers which is what almost all new weapons have.

I can think of a couple of reasons why we probably had a "golden" age of computer games in general and it won't come back likely. Of course this isn't objective but personal, but the main two reasons for such a judgement on my side would be: When I played Monkey Island, or Wing Commander or Falcon 3.0 or Fleet Defender and so on I didn't worry about FPS, frame times, micro stutters or how to save $$$$ for the newest Hardware or input device. That simply wasn't a thing - I just played. Second - usually there was only one real "must play" block buster at a time. (Depending on genres maybe). So it was easier to focus and enjoy without the overwhelming choices. ======================================================= Apart from that, I can easily see, why now is the best time for flight simulations (yet!). We have never been so close, both in visual fidelity and flight physics. That doesn't mean, that we reached the top of course. I'm sure we will see much improvement down the road!

24/7/2023 update All missions – AI voice overs replaced by human actors All missions – AI aircrafts chatter when not supposed - FIXED Mission 3 – Interceptors not reacting as supposed - FIXED

Nice - just tried and was 1 minute for me. Feels faster than before but could just be me hoping! Edit: I forgot I had deleted fxo and meta shaders folders before loading up the new beta build so there was no doubt time spent reinstalling those files. Tried again and it was down to 35 seconds. Definitely faster than previously!

Thanks a lot for making our beloved Viggen alive and better

The number flashing on the UFC upon entering it on PB17 is a bug. Just press CLR on the UFC to clear it. Apart from that it works just fine: @KlarSnow @Notso Any of you guys able to confirm this (pressing PB17 repeatedly cycles steerpoints till last one, but does not cycle back to SP1)?

Please don't. I don't want fantasy maps.

Load times have improved significantly - thank you very much!

Beautiful I've seen many people mount radiators in the front of a case, and it's not a good choice (typically for a few reasons). Mostly it's because they don't have a case to begin with that is adequate to properly mounting a 360 radiator so it will exhaust heat. So they wind up mounting it in front, as an intake - which as I'm sure you know, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, just makes everything inside warmer. Really bad idea. Much better to just get/use a proper case that is designed to accommodate big radiator(s) in optimal mounting configuration - as you obviously had the foresight to do Never ceases to amaze me, people who obviously have money to buy very high-end hardware but then insist on cheap or under-rated power supplies, cases that aren't properly sized or ventilated, and/or components that are going to force poor build decisions (like dumping heat from a radiator inside the case). Personally I believe if someone has money for really good high end components, then they should match the balance of a system build with other parts that are appropriate to the core components (GPU CPU, motherboard, RAM). Why spend $2500+ on these and then use a small case or PSU just to save $50...??? On the PSU: I did a little quick looking around and, as I thought may be the case, it's a brand that's just not common in the states...but as you pointed out, it's made by the same Chinese outfit that makes other brands which are common here. This is actually very common, with almost any brand of PSU these days. Good show! I am sure you'll be very happy with the new build

great update! brava ED!

That or even the A-4F. Having the extra thrust from the J52 P-408 alone would be nice.

StopGap has a debugging feature that tells mission designers when it is active, and the messages that you are seeing are these messages. To turn it off, change line 3 of the script from stopGap.verbose = true to stopGap.verbose = false The newest version of the script should have that value set up as 'false' by default (please see OP), so maybe make sure that you are using the most current version. I don't think that StopGap is the source for that. Are you running any other scripts? I've seen this dialog come up when scripts mess with the current writing directory via the (unsanitizued) lfs library. StopGap does not do that. Please check if you are using other scripts, most probably some persistence helpers, and check that code. I've experimented with that, but it seems that this cannot be done at the moment. That's how DCS sees fit to spawn the aircraft, and it steadfastly ignores any prods and shoves I'm giving it to show munitions or other stuff (like said wings). Since there is no real API that I know of to set up static aircraft other than the one that you are seeing now, I would love to, but currently can't improve on that.

The thing is, the F-86F Sabre sees fairly decent numbers on CW servers, and is far more popular than the MiG-15Bis there. People manage to use the Sabre's ancient AIM-9Bs to good effect - it presents itself as the better "underdog" alternative choice (between those two) in such scenario. The MiG-17 with K13 missiles would be really interesting and a lot of fun also there. The MiG-19P hasn't seen popularity in DCS not because the real aircraft itself isn't interesting or capable in a CW setting/scenario. It has to do with the noticeably lower quality of that module, compared to the few other (and better made) "red" CW aircraft modules that you have in DCS. Yeeaah! That can't come soon enough. I'm sure there are many users who have been patiently waiting through the years, for such an aircraft line-up to exhist in DCS. I don't hate the modern stuff and setting but, in my experience, DCS is far more interesting (and feasable to produce content) in a CW setting, 20th century Asian, African and Middle-East type of conflict based scenarios.

My simple cold/hot/runway/flight missions for the planes/mods without any QuickStart for this map are out:
