ED Team Chizh Posted December 4, 2015 Author ED Team Share Posted December 4, 2015 DCS World Weekend News - December 4th, 2015 Dear Pilots! It’s been almost a week since the release of DCS World 2.0 and the Open Alpha of the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map. We are very happy to see the overwhelming positive response to the quality of the map and the level of enjoyment it is providing you. We do though realize that many of you are having problems downloading and installing DCS World 2.0 and the Nevada map. Our engineers are working to improve this and we are adding new file servers to improve this situation. Thank you for your patience. The Alpha release of the Nevada map has been very useful test for us to plan later, large releases. DCS World 1.5 Update Although a lot of the public focus has been on DCS World 2.0 and the Nevada map this past week, we continue to update and improve DCS World 1.5. Once we further debug version 1.5 and we make the Caucasus map compatible with DCS World 2.0, we will merge 1.5 content into a unified version 2.0. Next week though we plan to release a 1.5.2 update. DCS World 2.0 and Nevada Map Update Over the past week, we have been keeping a very close eye on bug reports and have noted them in our bug tracking database. We are now in the process of addressing those bugs in order to bring the map from Alpha to Beta. We expect to bring you the first Nevada map update next week. Here are some great screenshots of Nevada Weekend Sale This weekend’s sale will begin on Friday, December 4th at 1500 GMT and last until Monday, December 7th at 0900 GMT. For some great Nevada map action, an F-15C, Su-27, A-10A and Su-25 bundle will take 40% off the price of each individual module, plus you can take off an additional 30% using bonus points. This can provide you a 70% savings!

ED Team Chizh Posted December 11, 2015 Author ED Team Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) DCS World Weekend Update - December 11th, 2015 Screenshot Contest Winners A hearty congratulations to the three winners of our 2015 Screenshot Contest! There were many wonderful entries, but in the end we had to pick just three! 1st place by Jester Darrak 2nd place by MAX123 3rd place by ESA_maligno Though, there are some other nice pictures which you may use for posters or somehow else.. Enjoy! http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/screenshots/610/ DCS World 1.5.2 Update Today we have updated DCS World Open Beta to Ver. 1.5.2 with the following primary changes: Stability improvements Continued work on Chinese localization and textures New Mi-8MTV2 features like anti-icing “SECTION X” lamps and current heating for windows Fixes and improvements to the L-39C. F-86F improvements, including improved input for clock, canopy controls, rudder switch and fire warning system MiG-15bis improvements, including: fixed marker activation over NDBs and adjusted G-suit performance A-10C improvements, including fixes for no elevation data for init position, manually entered coordinates of init position not changing, and RWR switch being set to OFF when starting hot or from runway. Corrected NDB and VOR positions. Fixed memory leaks. Updated and corrected Encyclopedia. Corrected performance of Super 530D and Magic 2 missiles. DCS: L-39 Albatros Update Work continues on the L-39 with the primary focus being on the ZA version. Once the ZA version is complete, we will also add the new training missions and move the L-39 out of beta. A Review of DCS Versions At this time we have three different versions of DCS World available and we understand that some of you may be a little confused. In order to provide more clarity, here is what you need to know: Ver. 1.2. This is the current released (stable) version of the game that includes all modules except the Nevada DLC map and L-39. It however uses our older graphics engine. You can download it here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/1.2/ Ver. 1.5. This version includes all the same content as Ver. 1.2, but uses the new graphics engine. At the end of December 2015, we plan to move Ver. 1.5 out of Open Beta and make it the new released (stable) version. At that time, Ver. 1.2 will no longer be updated and supported. You can download it here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/1.5/ Ver. 2.0. This version uses the same, new engine as 1.5, but ONLY works with the Nevada DLC map at this time. We are continually updating the Nevada DLC map now using this version. For now, Ver. 2.0 is being used as a testbed for the Nevada DLC map. You can download it here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/2.0/ Once versions 1.5 and 2.0 are debugged and working well next year, we will integrate them into a common Ver. 2.0 release (stable) version that will include both the free Caucasus map, the Nevada DLC map, and future maps. At that time, we will drop Ver. 1.5 and Ver. 2.0 will be the only supported DCS World version. Downloading and Installing the Nevada Map Over the past two weeks, we have seen a lot of questions regarding how to download and install the Nevada map, for those that purchased it or got it free as part of the A-10C Beta program. For those that missed the answers on our forums, here is a review. If you purchased the map through our e-shop at: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/ Install DCS World 2.0 and open the Module Manager. Please look in your Available DLC / Terrain page for the listing of the map with an install button next to it. If you do not see it, please run Repair DCS World 2.0 Open Alpha from your Windows Start Menu / All Apps / Eagle Dynamics and then look again. If you believe you purchased the A-10C Beta prior to February 21st, 2011, please visit the Nevada DLC map store page at: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/nttr_terrain/ On this page, you will see a button entitled SHOW SERIAL NUMBERS. Please press this button for your free key. Edited December 11, 2015 by Chizh Единственный урок, который можно извлечь из истории, состоит в том, что люди не извлекают из истории никаких уроков.

ED Team Wags Posted December 19, 2015 ED Team Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hi guys, I know you are all anxious to get your mittens on the M-2000C and we are getting close. As said in the newsletter today, we started internal beta testing just today. While the team is finding bugs, there is nothing too serious so far. In addition to testing the module though, there are two other big items that need to resolve: First, we are awaiting final missions and a quick start manual from RAZBAM. Once they are delivered, we should be good-to-go content wise for an open beta. Second, we need to assemble new versions for both 1.5 and 2.0 that allows the M-2000C to function. Given this, an open beta release of the M-2000C next week is quite feasible, but we cannot give an exact date given that we just started testing the module.
