Apparently the dcs_update binary has an issue with DNS lookups for update.eagle.ru on ipv6 enabled systems.
For some reason ipv6 name servers can't get a valid record for update.eagle.ru using google's opendns(8.8.8.8) there is a record being returned:
E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin>nslookup update.eagle.ru 8.8.8.8
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: 1231349722.rsc.cdn77.org
Address: 185.59.220.12
Aliases: update.eagle.ru
updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com
While using google's ipv6 opendns(2001:4860:4860::8888) there is no valid record:
E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin>nslookup update.eagle.ru
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 2001:4860:4860::8888
*** google-public-dns-a.google.com can't find update.eagle.ru: Non-existent doma

This is likely a faulty setup on your bind or cdn77.org's setup.
The workaroung involves adding the ips manually to your host file.
does nothing and
tells me that it couldn't resolve the hostname, I dont know which though since there is no log I could possibly find on my system.(checked Saved Games but it is empty)
This is on a pristine install of DCS 1.5 beta on Win10x64
