DCS Update Patch Notes Discussion Thread

[Ziptie]

:)Hi! I wonder if there will be a version update tomorrow?

 

As many have asked every single week.

 

 

The response is, they will let us know when it happens. No point in asking really...

 

 

Cheers,

Viper changelog item: "Corrected some texture glitches in cockpit."

 

Part of the latest changelog for the Viper says:

 

• Corrected some texture glitches in cockpit.
  

I run some personal mods, including a clear canopy and custom cockpit textures and I check for newly modified files after every update, in order to include them accordingly. I haven't found any relevant files with a recent modification date in \Mods\.....F-16C-CPT-TEXTURES.zip or noticed any visual changes, personally.

 

Can anyone (maybe NineLine or BIGNEWY?) please clarify what this change refer to or tell me what to look for? Is it a change on the cockpit in external or internal view? Thanks!

Fixed startup training mission. "VOR ON" step after startup will not pass without moving the

NAV Volume selector in VOR-ILS-MB equipment.

Gear up and gear down commands added.

Gear emergency extension works now when using input command.

AoA indicator does not jump anymore from max to min and vice-versa when turning the knob with keyboard or joystick button.

Welp. That’s not really a step forwards. I hope a lot of work has been done behind the scenes on the Hornet (and Viper) and a much bigger one will come next week.

Ah, didn't see that yet.

 

So yes, with early access patience is clearly needed. We go from one patch to the next over many weeks/months, but that's expected, well communicated by ED, and no problem. :)

[DeathAngel1]

So thats the patch? It seems more like hotfix for me...notning new.

nothing new.

 

We wouldn't have received anything if there was nothing new.

[Arctander]

There is, indeed, nothing new for the 16 or 18. A few bugs fixed, nothing ‘added’.

[DeathAngel1]

Yes, that was i mean. Only bug fixes.

Sometimes it's just bug-fixing. And bug-fixing isn't glorious. But if they indeed fixed the F-18 SA page performance issue, as mentioned, that'd already be a big deal for some people that experienced issues.

Have you downloaded patch and flown it yet? Then what you say is false as most things won’t be listed in change logs. Pass judgement after you sit in the pit....

225MB. Updated, it gave me two errors, for the first time in many years, one on the AV-8BAI.dll and the same dll for C101. I clicked through the errors and did a repair. It reverted me back a patch.

So im updating again.

Most things won’t be listed in change logs? That's new for me. They've always said sometimes some changes do not get to list, and sometimes there are a surprise, but they've never said that "most things won’t be listed in change logs".

245MB here. DL speed like 20 years ago, as always, thanks to that useless torrent "tech".

 

But a small patch is better than none

 

Now let's discuss the notes. How about removing the need to hit MiG28 several times instead of "just" fixing an issue that occurs because we need at least 10-20 MiG28 presses to finally have our wanted server that's always on with a ping under 50ms shown in the list so we could join it?

I can agree not every bug fixed is added to a change log, but any ADDITION bloody well should be, or the customer is unaware. Is ED’s change control really that absent, and you are really ‘ok’ with being kept in the dark about changes?!

You can always switch to http download if you want to.

LMFAO when I worked it out.... mig28.... glorious.

nothing ‘added’.

 

Although there's a consequential relation of sorts between the two, "new" and "added" are not actually synonyms.
