DCS Update Patch Notes Discussion Thread

I think it’s fair to revert to ‘generally understood’ as a point of reference where ‘adding’ something is seen by 99.9999% of people as ‘putting something in that wasn’t there before’ - I.e. ‘new’

I feel the same way.

I really hope they are working on something really big for the Hornet, thats's coming really soon because the current progress over the last few months is getting real old and sad.:mad:

Well, the last newsletter said completing walleye, jdam and harpoon modes, than Slam(Er), and only then systems like TWS. So we can expect a slow drip of weapons system modes being activated (in all likelihood buggy) while the important avionics that we are really suffering the lack of are delayed while the Viper is built.

[NineLine]

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

 

Given that we update DCS World almost every week, not every week can have substantial changes. Also, Monday was a holiday in Russia, so it was a short week for us. Thanks for your support.

Yes, I agree and understand the slow progress of the current and upcoming weapon systems will be slow and that's ok. But I feel they could at least complete the TGP with the HUD indicator and the ability to mount it on the cheek stations. Maybe all the resources are still working on the Viper.

I would say ‘everyone but a weapons guy’ is working on the Viper. I too would like to know how much longer the Viper will be consuming Hornet resources. Given I haven’t bought the Viper, the money I gave ED for a feature complete Hornet is currently being used to build something I don’t own, so my patience is wearing thin. I think ED should provide a backstop date at which point no matter the status of the viper, Hornet devs all get moved back (if that hasn’t happened).

Sorry buddy, not today. In spring Hornet will be in 2 (two) years, and Im sure that it will be incomplete still. So EA > 2 years...no thanks, that was last for me.

When diD the hornet come out of early access? I wasn’t aware you were able to buy the feature complete Hornet yet? I was only aware of a early access model. Please provide a link to this feature complete version you speak of so that I can buy it.

You’re being obtuse. I gave ED money up front for a feature complete Hornet *in the future* - we all understand that. That that is being delayed as the devs who were working on the Hornet are working on the Viper is why my patience is wearing thin.

Every new day is yesterday’s future. You got what you paid for. Early access. It will he completed at a future date.

[Arctander]

i will stop responding to you after this as we are getting off topic, but suffice to say your threshold of what is an acceptable period of time for product delivery, and the scope tolerance you give ED is far different to mine. I shall say no more on the matter in this thread.

[tugais]

Is there any news about an update to the stable release ? The last time it was updated was on September 10th.

[Arctander]

While I’m sure ED would like to update stable, I think doing so with the F16 so bare bones would be courageous, as I would expect that the users of open beta are self selecting and generally more willing to deal with... issues. I think ED probably know they’ll get a lot more push back if the F16 is in stable in this state. Shame for other modules needing developments since Sept 10th but has there been much?

Thanks! Nice to see that the sand storm effect got fixed :thumbup:

 

 

EDIT: I also noticed that the cockpit shadow bug got fixed (all cockpit elements produce shadows now). Good stuff! Please keep it that way :D

The team wanted to get this patch out ASAP as it contained some fixes for some crashes, so a bit of a tidy up patch in preparation for a stable update we are planning for Friday.

 

thanks
