All human spawn-able FW190 A8 aircraft will now spawn without the centre pylon attached. This means you should no longer need to request its removal prior to flight, if you want a clean aircraft without the extra drag. Testing by players has shown that the pylon does slow the Anton down.

I've notice a few times now that a "destroyed" Anton can fall out of he sky tail-first, without flipping over into an engine-first dive. Might this be indicative of a CoG which is close to the rear of the aircraft? It just seems odd that the aircraft will not right itself and dive engine first, even though it is damaged . .

Will be interesting to hear VC's thoughts after he has done these (repeatable) tests.

That sounds more like you think the Mustang should be removed. . . . :smilewink:

What we could do, is enable MW50 at one or two the rear bases. This meaning 109 pilots have to choose between a near-front spawn with a "slower" 109, or a further away spawn with the MW50. However I'm not convinced that this makes the best sense. For a start, there is no 150 Octane available for the allies, nor any Spitfire 14s. I've already made loads of compromises for the blue side, which are not reflected by history at all. It is a slippery slope, making concessions like this.

I've wondered that for 2 years.

I think so yes. But "disconnects" might get recorded as a "crash" - this is to stop people quickly leaving the server in order to manipulate their stats.

What do you mean? How many guns do you think it should take to achieve what? It certainly gives your position away, there's no doubt about that. And the low level small caliber stuff is horrifically dangerous if you get too close.

The FPS impact notwithstanding, it is definitely possible to whack down B17s. This chap shows us how:

SoW reports flak is working now!

Weapon accuracy and "notable achievements" now added to SoW stats pages. Yesterday and today we implemented another major series of updates on the DCS statistics. Individual pilots now get a better layout for the aircraft that they fly. Additionally, we have a breakdown of the data for the different weapon types of each aircraft. This means that pilots can check on, e.g., the effectiveness of bombs dropped, or the accuracy of their gunnery. Example: http://www.stormofwar.org/?Page=dcs/stats/pilot1063 The "notable achievements" section has been updated to include some new easter eggs, as well as more regular achievements. Be aware that you will typically need 5+ flight hours to qualify of any of these. Note also, that awards will favour pilots with better survival rates. If you can bring your aircraft home, that is best. But, if not, then bailouts or surviving crash landings are always more beneficial than disconnects or plunging into the ground. Thus... keep your pilot safe!! Work is continuing on the awards section. This is still very much work-in-progress, but that is the next priority. We archive all previous campaign seasons, so in time, we'll be able to hark back to past glories. This will be reflected on the pilot pages when available.

Lovely work Suntsag, Might it be possible for you to add a tiny opacity to the canopy, so that when viewed from a narrow angle it appears slightly cloudy, like the rear canopy glass does. See image below:

Thanks reflected, means a lot coming from someone how knows how to design good DCS missions!

mission updates to v46 underway. Corrected radio channels resulting from recent patch updates. Updated briefings with the new coms/ radio channel information Updated mission start and finish times to allow the new lighting to be used Stats wipe for March completed. New stats now publishing Fixed some unavailable aircraft on both sides Fixed some "easy" targets in some missions

This was just shy of 3 years ago (June 2017): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/newsletters/newsletter02062017.html https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3157299&postcount=89

^^ September 2019 That was when the August 2019 deadline was missed. That 2019 end-of-year deadline was then missed. Late in 2019, we hard that Q1 2020 was now the planned delivery date. Q1 2020 has passed. We are still waiting for the August 2019 WW2 assets pack update, more than half a year later. See my comment from September 2019: We are now really in worst-case-prediction territory. . . I really thought I was picking a ridiculous time frame with that comment. Can I ask if we are really ever going to see the Ju88, A20, the Dakota and the other promised AI aircraft? .

Let's see if we can get a twin engine with 2-crew first yeah?

SoW also reports this. Voice chat is turned off. DCS log shows these lines

I am seeing this repeating many times in my DCS log. Does anyone know what it is a reference to? 2.5.6 OB version Normandy map ww2 assets no mods

due to ISP issues, a temporary page is being used for SoW stats at the moment: http://nordfront.org/sowdcsstats/ Pilot stats: http://nordfront.org/sowdcsstats/overview.php Virtual Squadron stats: http://nordfront.org/sowdcsstats/squadrons.php .

website is playing up ATM. you can register here if you like, just let us know the squadron details and the formatting of any tags you use.

I think I've found the problem. Channel 1 in the German aircraft appears to be taking the same frequency as Ch2, no matter what the mission editor says. Video coming soon to show this
