DCS World Patch Notes Discussion Thread

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

Hmm, at the end there was a phase called "removing obsolete files" and I got a repeating error message:

*edit*

Nevermind, the problem was DCS didn't close properly last time, was still running in the background so the file was "in use" and therefor couldn't be deleted...

No improvements on sea cloud shadowing or better reflections as seen in videos???

[falcon_120]

No mention of F15 adjusted radar range....

 

I will need to test it

[Nealius]

No mention of the new bullet impact effects. Was hoping those got in giving the Mossie's A2G role and the unrealistic water explosions caused by everything down to 9mm.

It seems it has been adjusted. Detecting a Mig29A at High PRF at around 72nm now :). F16 around 70 nm...

Added "SA-5 (S-200) with a 3D-radar ST-68U, TIR and launchers." 

 

I cant find this "TIR" vehicle in SA-5 SAM system, where is it? 

Thanks!

Added a Syrian version SA-5 (S-200) with a 3D-radar ST-68U, TIR and launchers.

Finally home to join the club!

At least I got decent speed!

Thanks ED!

 

 

EDIT: And we're done. This rocked! 45 Gigs in less than five minutes!!!

Where are new sea and reflection&shadowing effects seen on most videos since 2 months?? Maybe they come with VULKAN?

[Car147]

Fairly new to DCS, and pre-ordered the Mossie, but whenever i launch DCS there is no update or Mossie to install. is it available in the UK yet?

Are you running the stable or beta version? Mossie, and the patch, was only for the beta version today.

Will come to the stable version in a few months

Ah,  thanks. I am running the stable version.

There‘s not much harm in using the open beta.

If you have space you can install both.

It's the 5N62 "Square Pair" TR.

Any particular reason why there's lots of files that were ok to modify now fail integrity check?

For example, modifying any of the indicator files now fails integrity check!

These were modified so that various displays could be exported.

 

Or renaming the viewport in the MFD files from say Right_MFCD to F18_Right_MFCD also now fails integrity check

Takes forever to load The Channel map after todays update. Have not tryed the others yet.

[Eagle7907]

I just want to say that I really like the changes made to the campaign UI. Really nice. Much better than starting all over just to play a particular mission. Nice job!

Cries in Helmut Kohl's prehistoric copper lines... (we're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in fibreoptic...) always a good idea to start downloading before going to sleep, just hoping that nothing interrupts the process, like a drive that's too full already with like 120 Gigs still free of space (BTDT)

Normally does the first time a map has been downloaded or updated.  Try reloading it a couple of times and it should be fine.

I have reloaded a lot of time. I have also taken a slow repair of the game. But the loading time are very long , spesial on The Channel map. At least ten times longer than before. And the game also have a lot of lagg now after the update.

When can we expect the new effects to be in? Next OB Update? Maybe Hotfix?

wow they did not just tweak the F16 radar a little bit. Feels like they just -50% it's performance. 

It hurts

That's how OP it was.

[GumidekCZ]

DCS 2.7.6.12852 Open Beta
AN/APG-68(V)5 detection and tracking ranges have been adjusted/reduced to match publicly available data.

 

@BIGNEWYMy question: where are these "publicly available data" from? I assume, that ED or you, have no problem with showing us the source of it.

Thanks very much.

These are values for V5 version of radar - I found publicly available:

APG-68 V5 (F-16 C/D)
For RCS 0.001 m2 class target:   6~7 km+
For RCS 0.1 m2 class target:   18~22 km+
For RCS 1.0 m2 class target:   32~40 km+
For RCS 5.0 m2 class target:   50~60 km+
For RCS 10.0 m2 class target: 60~72 km+

 

And these values are now in DCS- approx 45% better:

For RCS 0.001 m2 class target: ~9,6 km (5,3 nm)
For RCS 0.01 m2 class target:    ~30 km (17 nm)
For RCS 1.0 m2 class target:      ~54 km (30 nm)
For RCS 3.0 m2 class target:      ~71 km (40 nm) (JF-17)
For RCS 5.0 m2 class target:      ~81 km (45 nm)
For RCS 10.0 m2 class target:    ~96 km (54 nm)

For RCS 100 m2 class target:   ~140 km (77 nm) .. should be 95nm - but some magic knife cut max range same way as for APG-73 at Hornet, with same max detection range for RCS 100 m2.

[GumidekCZ]

On the other hand, any radar performance change should be done across whole DCS, or at least among most user popular fighter planes. Experiencing one or more radars OP while others are "tuned", - I'm not saying fixed, it's not good for anyone. I hope that fixing JF-17 radar will come next patch . Oh, I forgot, that it's performance is based on some Pakistani pilot talk - I'm just kidding , or not?
