DCS F-86 out of Beta today

[5e EVC Chappy]

Sorry for my dumb question, but does that mean that we all get the full version even if we purchased it before today?

[kontiuka]

yes. definitely.

[5e EVC Chappy]

Roger. Thank you.

I know there is no such thing as a silly question, but how is the updated version updated? There is no way, I can see, to tell if we have the final version or the one we originally purchased?

When the update is released, you game will update itself along with the F-86.

The change log mentions a "two-stage" gun trigger. What is that?

The version of the F-86 in the DCS release branch is much, much improved over the original beta released a couple of years ago. And it will continue to receive improvements through regular DCS World patches. Belsimtek just feels that the module is at a point of quality where it can justify no longer calling it "beta".

From change log ... M-117 bombs now supported. :)

The change log mentions a "two-stage" gun trigger. What is that?

The trigger on the B-8A control stick grip of the F-86F has a second detent.

 

The first trigger detent starts the gun camera; at the second detent, the guns or missiles are fired.

Trigger has two detents, or stages: first click happens at about half travel and activates the gun camera. Continue pulling to second click at full travel fires guns.

 

Edit: Beat me to it :)

Does that mean there is a full campaign for it?

Hello,

I'm happy that F-86 is out of Beta today. But I read this paragraph "in-game training missions in English and Russian language, and single combat missions".

And...... Will there be Campaign??

I enjoy a lot with this module:thumbup:

[klem]

No indication that the F-86 updated today even after Start... Eagle Dynamics....Update DSW but the Speedbrake doesn't seem to work properly any more - where is the toggle?

[SkateZilla]

The Update is currently only in open beta branch.

The Update is currently only in open beta branch.

 

F-86 out of beta, but only in the open beta. :lol:

 

That might get some folks confused here, but that's how it is. :D

[TomOnSteam]

I'm not a fan of this era, but WOW! Doesn't the Sabre look amazing in the trailer :)

I would like to say that the F-86F, MiG-15bis, and MiG-21bis are my favorite modules... But that would be a lie, because I like the UH-1H, Mi-8, P-51D, Fw190D9, Bf109K4, F-15C, and Su-27S just as much.

 

I haven't logged my flight time, but I have spent many hours in all of the above modules.

 

The A-10C, Ka-50, Hawk, C101, and L-39 haven't gotten nearly as much love from me because my love is air-to-air combat aside from wild and crazy helo flying.

Will Belsimtek finally release the texture templates of both the Mig-15 and the F-86 now that both are out of beta testing?

[Raven68]

Would love to see this released version get playable in 2.0. Seems like 1.5 is getting all the love.

same i uninstalled 1.53 beta when 1.5 replaced 1.2 because honestly its just too much space for me to have all 3 separate build of the game installed at the same time.

 

hopefully the release will be playable soon in alpha 2.0 if not also 1.53 stable build shortly.

 

there werent really any significant changes ( mostly fixes) apart from the addition of the m117 bombs & training missions anyways.

I really wonder how it can be regarded out of beta, when only released for the public DCSW open beta version.

The manual alos looks rather unfinished.

 

On many recent DCS module releases the terms beta and release version has really become blurred and it´s really hard to gather what makes a module move from beta to full release version.

The patch should spend a short time in the open beta build, if no major issues are found by beta participants it should be pushed to the public build

[MickeEinSweden]

Cannot see the update

 

Hello. When I started the game (1.5 Open beta) today The F-86 is still in beta "on the F-86 icon" and there is still no english flightmanual in the docs folder. I then also ran DCS_updater.exe in the bin folder, but still no update of the F-86. What should I do? :helpsmilie:

But still... the F-86 was announced to have been released yesterday, though today it´s still in open beta.

 

No offence if the update for the release version will be available in short time, but then at least I guess we can expect the manual to be more finished too - or ?

[BIGNEWY]

icon has been reported.

 

Just the way the system works, patches are pushed to open beta before going to the public release build, shouldn't be to long

 

My manual is 367 pages long and in english C:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-86\Doc
