The patch is out! KW is present in the changelog!

Sorry, but I completely disagree with this. It's not as simple as you think and you don't take into account all the factors that should be taken into account. Additionally, you write about the slider which is good but only for SP, not MP. What if in multiplayer people start cheating and set the slider to the maximum dot size. I suggest you read this thread, which discusses all the aspects that should be taken into account. Such ideas have been floated around more than once and were quickly banned by other DCS users. Generally, I don't know why a new topic is needed when there are already such ones where there are also slider ideas.

The patch has been moved to tomorrow (December 4th).

Cold start, hot start? Upload some screen or track. There is no such problem. Also check if you have any mods that block it.

Good morning. Weather forecast for today. Today, we will have foggy day, at everyone’s!

No any Issue with Hellfires. Do some track with your problem, also check manual and video tutorials on YT (CasmoTV for example).

Yes, I wrote about it once before, but maybe you didn't notice ;). There is no Beta or Stable anymore, there is "Unified Release" - at least that version of DCS was called that in the last February. So it's worth using the word "Public" to avoid confusion :). Thank you.

Patch Tomorrow! Ooooh yes! So I hope that we will get fixes + a full set of sounds compared to what we got on October 30. Cant wait!

Great news & Thank You! I hope - fixes for Kiowa Warrior and Sniper for F-16C .

They were aiming for the second patch right away, not the one that came out in October (DCS 2.9.9.2280 from 30th of October) but November's patch, which is clearly written. So in general everything should be fine now:

Yes , I'm waiting for that too, in some ways Kiowa was ruined because of that patch that wasn't supposed to come out. I'm a bit surprised that a Hot Fix wasn't released to simply revert to the previous version by ED. I hope it will be in this patch that will appear any minute now. Either the final version, or at least the previous version. I hope it's just a matter of days.

Easy answer. Since these are Razbam products, prices cannot be changed without the developer's consent.

I don't remember a patch ever coming out on a Saturday, so I guess that means there won't be a November patch for DCS? Going forward, can we expect two patches in December? Im waiting for new fog and Iraq, and +1 for Hellcat as well.

No, that's not how radar works . Maybe preparation before patch tomorrow?

There is still no November patch but I hope it will appear and we will have something for Afghanistan. 5 months after the release there was nothing, no new part and patch even so I'm looking forward to it !

Generally the patch should be out this week, there was no patch in November (only a hot fix, but that doesn't matter), and there is one every month, recently there was one on the last day of the month, so anything can happen.

Btw. You can check Casmo video too:

KW is not the most difficult helicopter in DCS in terms of flight, here the systems are very supportive so the model is quite easy to fly, which of course does not mean that it is a mistake. I think that KW has one of the better flight models, very close to realism. About trim - helicopters, with exceptions, do not have a typical trim. Here you only use Force Trim (press T), set the helicopter's position and release it. Then you adjust it until you get the effect. It also has flight stabilization for direction, but currently disabling it doesn't work (Disengage Heading Hold Mode, it will be solved in the incoming patch I hope ). What you are writing about is the SCAS Heading Hold option, something like an auto pilot. I use it during flight but only to lock the direction of flight straight ahead, then the KW is more stable, but it is not a typical autopilot, further shifts are possible. Generally, it is advisable not to use the right or left here.

Good to know! Thx for the info.

Hi, I noticed that unfortunately the last "surprise patch" broke the behavior of the AI OH-58D(R) too. Currently, starting from the ground in Cold and Dark mode causes the AI KW to be unable to take off (total weight below 100%, 60% fuel + weapons, ground start). The player can do it without any problem but something happened to the AI. The AI tries to accelerate, but does so straight ahead and just above the ground, which ultimately causes a crash. Previously everything was fine, I tested it dozens of times. I'm attaching the track (Afghanistan map), it will be a little shaky because it was recorded in VR mode. Thanks for the fix ! test.trk

We are near the end of the year, currently we know that MiG-29A FF from "DCS 2024 and beyond" will not appear this year, I estimate that it will be February/March 2025, not earlier, but I'm still curious how work is going on Hellcat + carrier + Marianas WWII. All this should appear at once, but so far there is no official information. I would gladly hug Hellcat this year!

Recently, I've been flying around the SA map a bit. I have to admit that the map has gained a completely new life . Not only does it look much better than before, it has also gained a lot in performance, even in places I've always tested. It took a while, but now I have to admit that the map has made a lot of progress and I can definitely recommend it. It took some time :). It's just a shame that so far the map hasn't been used in any campaigns... maybe now that the map has gained a state that would be great at the beginning, something will finally start happening here.

Thanks for the nice opinion, it's edifying

Yes, I also generally prefer to invest in hardware because then you have better comfort. It's a race without end.
