Because they've been saying end of September (so, either today or tomorrow), posted the 1.5 preliminary changelog yesterday and "As for the status of releasing the 1.5 Open Beta, we have good news: we created the 1.5 branch (release version) today. Just as soon as we complete smoke testing, we will release it." (yesterday's changelog topic). My hype cannot be contained.

Mfw waiting for 1.5 to release

I want campaign Nice!

A bit of a necro but I'll just leave this here: :D

Nice Community News you got there, OP. EDIT: Waw, moved.

The Spitfire screenshots shown in yesterday's DCS stream were new, right? I made an album with them: https://imgur.com/a/NsQf7 It's bootiful!

Do you get this bug, by any chance?: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=143509

Because even the P51D fighting a Bf109 G6 would probably be a better matchup (and the P51D would be superior on that one, of course).

A 109G6 against a P40? Are you out of your mind? o_O

I use Win8.1 Pro x64, having Win10 Tech Preview on a 50GB HDD partition for testing purposes. I've only tried War Thunder in it several months ago, it worked just fine. I should get to try DCS and other games, though. About another subject in this same topic about performance improvements when going to Windows 10: IIRC, Windows 7 has DX11 support, but only a few features of DX11.1 and maybe(?) DX11.2. If DCS will use the technology of DX11.1 and DX11.2, people upgrading from Win7 to Win10 could get to see performance/graphical improvements. And then there's obviously the optimization of Windows itself, lower-end PC's can get some performance improvements if the OS is better optimized. You can just install Win10 Tech Preview in another partition and keep your current OS, lol. That way, you choose which OS to start when you boot your PC.

Does it also include a tea maker?

Yes, but it's different. When I destroyed the speedboat and pulled up, it seems I didn't actually pull up in time and I went underwater and then underground. As soon as I supposedly entered in the water, it started squeezing/stretching like in the video. I also couldn't get the external camera to work down there, could only move it above the terrain. Also, I seem to have crashed in the water at first while attempting to destroy it, due to too much speed. Respawned with Ctrl + Shift + Tab, did another pass but didn't get enough distance to aim properly. It was at the third pass that I got clean shots on it and destroyed it, and then went underwater.

I have this B29 mod installed: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=140372 No other mods were in use at the time of this bug. I created a SP mission with my K4 to destroy an US armed speedboat, did that, but then noticed I had forgotten to remove the B29 AI from the mission. Went to engage it, but suddenly neither my throttle nor my stick could be used (except for the hat switch and the rocker axis aka zoom). Noticed the image was becoming weird, like it was slowly decreasing the resolution. Alt-tab'd and it was all still fine at the normal resolution, alt-tab'd back in and noticed the ESC menu was also fine. Looked around and I noticed it was only my plane getting squeezed/stretched. So I started recording: Album: https://imgur.com/a/kAjcV PC specs: - i5-4690K @ stock - 2x 4GB DDR3 2400MHz C10 G.Skill RipjawsZ - ASUS Z97-PRO (WiFi-ac) - ASUS EAH5770 CUcore @ stock - Kingston SSDNow V200 120GB (Windows here) - WD Green 1TB 5400RPM HDD - 18-19'' 1366x768 60Hz TN Packard Bell monitor - Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (updated) - Thrustmaster HOTAS X GPU drivers: 15.4 Beta I should also mention I have the Steam version of DCS but yesterday tried moving it to my SSD to see if I could play it there, which is what I did. Did it because my HDD is painfully slow, only 50-70MB/s at best, and loading times for DCS are quite lengthy... TL;DR 109K4 pancake.trk

What engines does the V4+ use? I only know the V3 used the 004B engines, the same ones of the Me262A1a.

Same. I actually only noticed yesterday there was a campaign for the K4, lel.

I actually can't tell if complete sarcasm or not. Because the mirrors and the Skyraider's toilet bomb are very much significant things about the planes. Spit IX's beer barrels would also be very neat to have, good missions could be done with them.

Are we Real or are we just a game? ^Might aswell ask that while at it!

If only I could be there... What do you think the progress on the DCS P40F is at in % or some other measurement? :D

Yes, I also noticed some smoke for just a few frames at least once, but I was looking to my cockpit to try to get MW50 working, didn't look back nor went 3rd person to check it. EDIT: Checked in 3rd person, the smoke is there all the time I go to 1.8ATA. Since you said it only occurs when throttling back, maybe the smoke is a result of having throttle on WEP without MW50?

I know, and it was going (relatively slowly) to 1.8 ATA... which would kill the engine since even then MW50 was not activating. :huh: All circuit breaker panel's buttons were pushed on. EDIT: To be sure, I checked the mission editor and it's using MW50 by default in the "MW50/Fuel Tank Contents" option, so it's not that either. I first noticed this issue while dogfighting a friend's P51D, and then also on the default "Dogfight" mission (vs AI P51D).

Also kept killing my engine and didn't know why at first, but then I noticed that the MW50 Boost switch is now off by default, and that even when it's turned on, MW50 doesn't seem to be working, or at least the MW50 pressure (or is it concentration?) gauge reads it at 0. The engine seems to be behaving fine, if it didn't have MW50. But it should have, and I don't know why I can't turn on MW50.

Thanks! It really did wonders to the MK108! :D Did you just remove the AP rounds and add the Tracer ones (that are in the game files but unused), or did you also increase the damage?

Not sure if I'll be able to use my mic... can I still participate?

I say it based on my experience on another game... well, please don't lynch me for it, it's War Thunder, but still... Even there people tell me "aw hell nein, gunpods suck", while I see practically no disadvantages... all dat dakka (and yes, I know the FM's for the late 109's there are just blasphemy). Can't try them in IL2 BoS due to that braindead thing called "unlock system", which together with other things make me ALT+F4 before I can unlock them. And I don't really have other sims with 109's (yet). Thanks!

The cons are unnoticeable, tbh.
