Really exciting news. thanks to everyone involved in the development of this sim.

@IronMike, today there is a patch coming (hot fix) but in the changelog I don't see anything about 'jester mod fix'. Please, is the fix included or do we have to wait? Thanks in advance.

After the last update (april 17th) the loading times of DCS and missions have improved slightly. On the other hand the saving times of the existing missions have increased a lot (from 15 to 20 seconds and more). Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? Thanks. (I've only installed official MODs)

Thanks for the fixes in today's patch. Patch still downloading, hope to fly soon and that everything works. Thanks again for your work.

Excellent patch. Today I especially want to thank ED for the fixes related to Yak-52. Even though we waited a long time, patience was rewarded. I will use the opportunity to test it on the Afghanistan map, hoping that everything will work. Thanks again.

ED thank you for this exciting video, really a lot of nice news. Expectations are high, the waiting time for the release or the progress of what we have seen will be a little unnerving. I propose to start with a nice patch as soon as possible. Thanks again for your endless work.

@bandit648 thanks for this interesting workaround. What if we want to get a more consistent cirrus coverage? Is there a way in this case too?

Great update, with really nice improvements and additions. Can't wait to try them out. Just enough time to download and update DCS, then in flight ...

YES!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. and this hard work of your Team is deeply appreciated. Thanks again.

The new fog effect is awesome, I also reverted the SSAO option to enhance the realism. The new deck vrew is awesome, this was a really significant addition. And many thanks also for the SC operation guide and updating the DCS manual.

downloading ... then I'll do some flights and then comments. Anyway there are great expectations. BTW, thanks that you don't forget even the little things (ie Yak-52)

Thanks for the previous explanations, things are more understandable now. We appreciate your hard work to release any planned update/patch.

My heart is hurting this way

Thanks for reply.

This video is really gorgeous, can't wait. Thank you very much ED for this superlative update that will make the activities on flight deck much more realistic and immersive. Excellent job! Just a couple of questions - will these new crew deck features also be available for F-14 and any other aircraft that uses SC? - please, will the time ever come for the animated crew deck to be available also on third-party aircraft carriers, for example CV-59 Forrestal by HB? Even for a fee, of course, at least as far as I'm concerned.

yeah, really great news about new fog effects and new SC plane directors. At this point I can't wait for the next patch to be released. Thanks ED for your continued hard work.

Really interesting. Waiting for it. Although a picture of SC was posted, there is no mention of new deck crew animations. Can you say if it is coming soon? Thanks.

I'm very happy to read this. I hope that as soon as available you can share with us some more information or even a short video. Thanks. Good to know. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, great trick.

This is exactly what I was happy about, most likely I expressed myself badly. If it were really possible it would mean a great benefit for all users. Thanks.

That's what I've been doing for several years when an update comes out including a map update. For example, the patch 2.9.8.1107 (september 30, 2024) included an update to the Syria map. I simply disabled and removed the Syria map through Module Manager, then I updated the sim to patch 2.9.8.1107, and then slowly reinstalled the Syria map (in this case updated). I know, I can't fly over Syria until I finish reinstalling the map, and it's also true that reinstalling a map is longer than updating it, but this way I bypass my slow internet connection problem, quickly keeping the sim updated to the latest patch. I just have to be patient before I can fly on the updated map again. In any case, I don't think ED will take any further charge from such a fragmentation of the patches.

Great idea. It would also be helpful because I have a slow internet connection: I could download and install the base game, modules and campaigns, then use the latest update, and postpone the map update to a later time. I hope it is possible and that ED is well disposed towards it.

@MAESTR0 Thank you so much for the news, the continued great work that Team is doing and the exciting satisfactions that you give us.

After the new update (2.9.8.1107), there are no more noticeable stutters and the frame is also improved. Tested with F-14, CVN-71, Marianas and F-4 MiG killers campaign. Thanks for continuous improvement.

Nice find. It could be really helpful in fixing this problem. Thanks.
