DCS Update Patch Notes Discussion Thread

[wrl11]

There does not seem to be the option to make HI only when carrying the AIM-7, only the 120, am I doing something wrong?

[NineLine]

Guys, again, please only discuss items in the patch notes, all other discussions or bug reports should be made in other threads, as well... the responses are a little spicy... let's all be kind to each other, except in Multiplayer... there you can fire all the shots you want.

Does the latest F18 radar issues have been fixed?

Nope.

To bad :cry:

 

Wed is just around the corner; they indicated they have it fixed internally already so we don't have long to wait.

[funkyfranky]

Thanks for fixing uncontrolled helos falling through ships :thumbup:

I don't understand why ED push a hot fix without internally fixed bugs :huh:

The hotfix was not a regular scheduled update, so rather than wait till the next one (maybe tomorrow) they elected to go ahead and get a hotfix out with some fixes they were confident of beforehand.

Otherwise they would have just held them till next regular update.

 

At least that is how I perceive it.

Excellent on fixing the labals and chat apparently (still have to test myself with Ryzen CPU if it has really entirely been fixed or only improved) ! Nice! Now only Razbam to fix Harrier lock/launch RWR timeout sound! (It never stops after a SAM launch...)

There is probably a reason. You could pm Wags if you really want your question answered. :)

[D4n]

Better PM the community manager NineLine, as Wags may be way too busy managing the DCS developer team.

Internally Fixed doesnt mean it's ready to be deployed, and has not been tested fully (to make sure the fix doesnt break anything else.)

Today's update

 

I am seeing a very nice jump in FPS after updating today.:thumbup: Keep it up guys, I hope it's not a temp thing.:) Please don't break it. :pilotfly:

Quick Observations - DCS 2.5.3.21708 Update

 

A few quick things I noticed with today's (19-Sept-2018) Update that weren't listed in the Official Update Summary

 

F/A-18C - Quick Start - Caucasus - Case I Recovery:

 

- All Ships have greatly Reduced Wakes; tougher (not as quick) to pick up the Carrier in the turn unless you slew the view

 

Yak-52 - Quick Start - Caucasus - Take-Off

 

- Previously, the YAk-52 had a very Light Nose (like almost an Aft CG), this Update seems to have corrected that - much better behaved & realistic handling

 

 

MiG-15 - Quick Start - Nevada - Intercept

 

- Previously, the Indian Springs Creech AFB Intruder (AI F-86 Sabre) used to (be a Trick-Dicky) fly around with Gear and/or Flaps down to try to fool you (in MiG-15) into Over-Shooting and then get quickly Gunned from Behind. After latest update - the AI F-86 will actually BFM you with all he's got - Now it's a FUN (full of Grunt) Engagement between two fairly evenly matched Aircraft.

Hi ED,

There is a chance to have F18 radar hot fix today ?

[Revelation]

Hi ED,

There is a chance to have F18 radar hot fix today ?

 

Today is Beta update day, aka Christmas, no hotfix will be released today unless a major game breaking bug is introduced with today's update.

 

Wags has already stated the radar will be better with this weeks update, that does not mean there will not be ongoing issues.

It's OB so expect some minor issues at least, but it's progress and also some additional units added...

Added new units: SAM SA-2, SAM Rapier, ASM HY-2 Silkworm, Oil platform, Gas platform.

 

DCS just keeps getting better and better.

Because of that : Persian Gulf map update 2. Added a few landmarks: Aldar Headquarters building, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque etc. Fix coastline. Corrected terrain mesh.
