Patch notes discussion October 2023 - DCS 2.9

[twistking]

quick question for those already on 2.9:
did the medium and heavy AAA pieces (S60, KS-19) finally get their crew added?

Was this even in plans?

well, it was planned to add them later (tm). it wasn't in the patchnotes for 2.9, no. there were some undocumented new models though (the ural trucks f.e.), so i thought they maybe have also added those long missing crews. have they?

Channel map IIRC.

 

From the newsletter: ...take control of the Spitfire Mk IX, P-47D Thunderbolt, P-51D Mustang, and Mosquito FB VI to engage in the high-stake Harbour Bombing Raid, and experience the 'Train Strafe’ mission...

Still can't find those missions - please see attached screenshot for the Spitfire (taken from DCS 2.9... Open Beta)
Or the naming is different? (which would be confusing...)

Im assuming some of these are the missions you are looking for. You can see where they are located, but looks like they are on the Normandy map. I thought the Normandy map encompassed the Channel map in its entirety, sorry its been a while since Ive flown these maps. I HAVE them, just rarely fly nowadays so didnt meant to be misleading. Select your aircraft on the aircraft icon on the main screen, instant action, and pick the map.

They're accessible from Instant Action menu, not the Missions menu. Also, Harbour one requires ownership of Normandy 2 map

Will ED ever fix 2.9?  Its getting old trying to refuel when you get up on the tanker and suddenly the tanker is six miles behind you.
