Systems:

Added full IFF transponder simulation compatible with M-2000 and F-15E. Added the option to equip BE, CE and EE with mode 4 IFF (new cryptographic unit, IFF panel and warning light, only installed in a few aircraft) in the module options. The F1M will be equipped with it by default.
The AP light test now needs AC power to take place.
Flight control system test now needs AC power to start.
Fixed wheel brakes control in F1BE - right brake command was also moving the left brake, while left brake command was doing nothing.
F1BE pitch/roll/rudder trim positions are synchronised in multicrew now.
Added PBL 201 2300 l fuel tank to flyable versions of F1. Weight, balance and aerodynamics are accounted for.
Fixed bug in which, when central and right external fuel tanks were mounted, no fuel was consumed.
Brake warning light no longer turns on when actuating the brakes if the gear is deployed without weight on wheels.
Several Hydraulic System fixes were made:
- Circuit 1 and 2 accumulators were not working correctly, now fixed.
- Combat flaps and brake lights logic was incorrect with engine off, now fixed.
Added AC electric (400 Hz) cockpit sound.
The seat height is now initialised before the simulation is unpaused at mission start. It eliminates a sudden pilot head position move once the simulation has started.
F1BE: Fixed not moving rear seat rudder trim switch, when using keyboard.
The seat height adjustment switches clickspots are correctly initialised now to eliminate clickspot position misalignments before the seat is moved for the first time.
F1BE: Added keybinds for rear seat height adjustment.
F1BE: Forward canopy now cannot be lowered and closed before the rear canopy is closed and locked.
Added separate input commands for stages 1 and 2 of the radar elevation increase/decrease buttons.
Added 'Disable force feedback effects' option to the module options.
Pilot flight controls are set to neutral now when the pilot has lost consciousness.
Added two input commands: 'Move throttle from Idle to Stop' and 'Move throttle from Stop to Idle'.
Added 'button-like' input entry for the throttle idle cut function. It moves throttle to ‘Stop’ when pressed, and then back to ‘Idle’ once it is released.
The movement speed for pilot stick and rudder by keyboard was increased by a factor of two.
Now it is possible to click the throttle out from ‘Stop’ position, disregarding the actual throttle axis input. Then, the throttle will be animated in the cockpit to the actual axis input position.

Communications:

Added "Radio Selector Box defaults" section in the module options with default volume potentiometers positions.
Now any of the default Voice Chat 'cockpit VoIP PTT' commands ('r.1', 'r.2', etc) can be used to activate transmission. It is made to reduce player effort to config (or deconflict between modules) Voice Chat input settings. Pressing any of those commands will activate Voice Chat transmission via the currently selected radio.
Now both default Voice Chat 'cockpit int VoIP PTT' input commands can be used to activate crew communication in F1BE (given that "F1BE intercom hot mic always enabled" option is unchecked in the module options).
Fixed radio status being incorrectly displayed as grey box (i.e. 'is turned off') in Voice Chat at hot start.
Added "F1BE intercom hot mic always enabled" option to the module options, though Hot Mic itself is not operating correctly yet. Please use a default Voice Chat key command to talk to the crewmember (with this option unchecked).

Pilot flight controls:

Throttle will not make an abrupt jump to the actual position anymore when the joystick is moved for the first time after the mission was started.
F1B: Stick, rudder and throttle are now always at the same position at both seats.
F1BE: Now another seat afterburner detent position is correctly taken into account, if it was modified in module options.
F1BE: Fixed resulting stick position when Force Feedback is enabled only in one of the two seats.
F1BE: Throttle will not jump anymore when the second crew member joins.
F1BE: Throttle transition between own and other seat input axis positions is now smoothly animated, when the FM control is transferred between seats.

Controls Indicator:

F1BE: With Combined Controls Mode disabled, and when another crewmember is present, the Controls Indicator now displays: a) other seat control input (grey index) when our seat has FM control, or b) own seat control input (white index) when other seat has FM control. In Combined Controls Mode white/grey symbols work as before.
The throttle control input (white index) is additionally displayed in all F1 versions. It can be observed, with another crewmember being absent, when the input axis is moved with the throttle being at ‘Stop’.
Stick/rudder positions now account for trim settings. Same applies to other seat controls positions in F1BE.
F1BE. Controls Indicator now displays 'C' symbol before 'F' and 'R' symbols, when the Combined Controls Mode is enabled.

Miscellaneous:

Default 6DOF view restrictions are now available again for user modifications (now can be edited in ViewsF1Cmn.lua).
Throttle handle and pilot hand got animation in the external 3D model.
Module options dialog was updated - Force Feedback related options were arranged as a visually separate group.
Cockpit tooltip and the corresponding command name in inputs for 'Air conditioning auto/manual switch' are now the same.
Fixed IFF Mode C clickable switch tooltip.
Added ‘Anti-ship Strike’ task to all F1 versions.
Minor flight manual updates were made.

DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev

General:

Added 'Disable force feedback effects' option to module options.
Pilot flight controls are set to neutral now when the pilot has lost consciousness.
Fixed batteries being constantly overheated when flying at high altitudes for quite a long time.
Changed the module options tab name from 'C-101EB' to 'C-101'.
The idle cutoff clickspot on the throttle handle is hidden now when the throttle is advanced forward from its idle position.
Now it is possible to click the throttle out from ‘Stop’ position, disregarding the actual throttle axis input. Then, the throttle will be animated in the cockpit to the actual axis input position.

Communications:

Added 'Audio Control Panel defaults' options group to module options with default volume potentiometers positions.
Now any of the default Voice Chat 'cockpit VoIP PTT' input commands ('r.1', 'r.2', etc) as well as both 'cockpit int VoIP PTT' commands can be used to activate transmission. It is made to reduce payer effort to config (or deconflict between modules) Voice Chat input settings. Pressing any of those commands will activate Voice Chat transmission via the currently selected radio.

Pilot flight controls:

Stick, rudder and throttle are now always at the same position at both seats.
With Combined Controls Mode disabled, stick, rudder, and throttle will be animated to the new positions according to the other seat controls input, when FM control is transferred between seats. I.e. there will be no immediate jump to the new positions. FM will take this into account, thus avoiding abrupt aircraft trajectory changes, or engine stress in the case of throttle input.

Controls Indicator:

With Combined Controls Mode disabled, and when another crewmember is present, the Controls Indicator now displays: a) other seat control input (grey index) when our seat has FM control, or b) own seat control input (white index) when other seat has FM control. In Combined Controls Mode white/grey symbols work as before.
The throttle control input (white index) can be observed now, with another crewmember being absent, when the input axis is moved with the throttle being at ‘Stop’.
Controls Indicator now displays 'C' symbol before 'F' and 'R' symbols, when the Combined Controls Mode is enabled.

Known issues:
Important: Due to capitalization changes not propagating properly at times, the "\...\sdef\Jester\contacts" folder is named incorrectly, which will cause none of the essential JESTER calls from that folder to be played. Our sincere apologies. This will be fixed in the coming patch properly, however in the meantime you can apply an easy fix yourself, if you please, after finishing the update:
- STANDALONE USERS: Either delete the "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\f4e\Sounds\sdef\Jester\contacts" folder and run a DCS repair, and it will get restored correctly by DCS or manually rename it to use a capital C.
- STEAM USERS: Manually rename it from "\...\sdef\Jester\contacts" to "\...\sdef\Jester\Contacts" (simply with a capital "C" instead).
Note: Deleting the folder and running a repair only works for the DCS standalone version. Steam users need to rename the folder manually, please. Manually renaming the folder works for both versions.
Sedlo's "Have Doughnut" instant action mission has been fixed based on recent user feedback, but could not be included with this patch anymore. If you like, you can download it from the attachment below, and replace the one in: "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\f4e\Missions\Quickstart".

DCS World

New Launcher that allows you to configure and manage DCS prior to starting the program.
New Multiplayer “Select Role” interface added to enhance respawn functionality with additional information and the ability to see exact respawn locations on the map and interact with them. Note that spawn locations icons are aggregated based on the map zoom level. A “Server” tab has been added in the briefing images panel in the Mission Editor. This allows you to add an image as a header to the first screen that the connected player sees before joining a coalition. We will monitor feedback for future adjustments and additional features.
New Dynamic Respawn slots system has been added that allows mission designers to set up airfields serving any aircraft respawn its associated warehouse without the need of specific placement in the editor. Airfields with active dynamic spawns are specifically marked on the map with a hexagon icon. Parking spots are assigned automatically on a respawn request. We are coordinating with MOOSE, MIST and CTLD developers for supporting these new spawn methods in their scripts (Thank you Pikey, funkyfranky, Grimes, and Ciribob). Additionally, a specific dynamic spawns template system was added to customise dynamic slots properties and restrictions. Detailed description here
AI Ground. Added the ability for SAM to evade ARM (enabled by default, but can be disabled in Set Options - Evasion of ARM). Units that detect the missile will turn off their radar(s) and displace. Units that cannot move quickly will simply turn off their radar(s). The higher the skill level, the higher the likelihood that the air defence unit will react to the incoming ARM
AI. Performance-demanding logic of target detection and line of sight checks have been moved to a parallel thread. This gives more headroom for the performance, especially on AI-populated dedicated servers with large scale battles. This applies to ground, sea and airborne AI units.
AI Ground. Added a new air targets detection system for ground AI.
Updated 3D model of M1A2 Abrams.
Added M1A2C SEP v3 Abrams unit model.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges

General:

Added new external model textures. Now the appearance of the textures is much more realistic. Improved aspects like roughmet, weathering, color, rivets, service doors, etc.
Overhauled external 3D model to improve accuracy and realism.
Added AUF-2 dual bomb rack for fuselage and inner pylons.
VR hands are now positioned properly on stick and throttle.
Adjusted landing/taxi light visual appearance.
'F1BE intercom hot mic always enabled in Voice Chat' module option was removed as Voice Chat 'Intercom forced PTT' checkbox now implements this capability instead.
Animated PTT button in single-seater and at forward seat of two-seater (WIP).
F1BE rear cockpit lights are functional now in external views.
Minor fix in Mirage F1 EE single missions (instructions after takeoff are now to proceed to INS waypoint 2 instead of VORTAC polar coordinates).
Fixed brightness control of the following Optical Sight symbols:
- "Missile within range" light
- "Limitations exceeded" light
- "Missile ready" light
- "Missile locked on" light
- Target symbol
- Moving reticle central dot
Added Kola Single and Quick Start missions.
Added/fixed external 3D model LOD’s (level of detail).
Declared correct service life times for historical Mission Editor mode for all countries and airplane versions.

FM and flight controls:

Adjusted elevator authority at different Mach numbers.
Adjusted roll dampening at different Mach numbers.
Increased sideslip induced roll (increased rudder rolling authority).
Increased AMEDEE pitch curve.
Added control stick lag to model the speed movement limitations in the real aircraft.
Adjusted NWS control curves to improve ground controllability.
Corrected main landing gear being too soft causing excessive roll on the ground.
Increased threshold for yaw servo disconnection so they don’t disengage so easily.
Added trim hat sound.
Added option to pull the stick fully backwards when the aircraft is trimmed down.

Radar:

Implemented BZ radar auto acquisition mode.
Radar contacts that are outside of TL/BZ modes maximum lock on range (7 km) can now be detected.
Radar lock is not broken now at transition to/from and between TL/BZ modes.
Implemented radar scope erase for A/A search mode.
Radar now always transfers to IC (Short Pulse) search mode, once (C+M or SW)R mode is activated.
Radar now keeps its parameters (range and pulse width) when enabling/disabling TL/BZ modes while a target is being tracked.

Other systems:

Small adjustment to EGT calculation, now transient situations won’t cause the temperature to overshoot the maximum value.
Corrected time passed for Oil warning light to turn on in negative Gs. Added option in special options menu to have a 5s delay on the warning.
Corrected antifire valve immediately causing an engine stop when closed. Now it will take from some seconds to a minute for the pipes to fully drain.
Fixed engine and AB fire warning lights problems: Both lights pushbuttons are now independent in F1EE and fire damage to the circuits makes it impossible to test the lights if the fire burns for long enough.
Engine fire can now eventually cause an aircraft explosion.
Fixed repair retracting gear with Simplified Gear option on.
Adjusted behavior of air conditioning cabin temperature regulation valve.
Now all gunpods have burst cutoff disabled.
Corrected hydraulic accumulators being pressurized at cold mission start.

FM and flight controls:
Corrected roll moment appearing when all bombs are dropped from AUF-2 pylon.
Decreased rudder roll authority.
Decreased pitch authority.
Decreased AMEDEE internal curve.
Changed pitch trim proportionality between 'up' and 'down' regions.
Updated the logic of 'Extra backwards stick travel' mode special option.
Systems/cockpit:
Implemented '(C+M or SW)R' button logic in 'TL' or 'BZ' auto acquisition radar modes. The logic:
- 1st button press enables '(C+M or SW)R' mode.
- With '(C+M or SW)R' mode enabled, and no radar track, the automatic lock will be inhibited until the button is released.
- With '(C+M or SW)R' mode enabled, and a target tracked, the button release will break target lock, and will restart search.
- Depending of the time the button was held pressed:
  - Less than 0.3 seconds - the radar will start the search 150 m ahead of the previous target range.
  - 0.3 to 0.8 seconds - 1) in 'TL' mode the radar will do the same (start the search 150 m ahead); 2) in 'BZ' mode the radar will start the search from the scan area center at the nearest elevation bar to the previous target.
  - More than 0.8 seconds - the radar will restart search normally.
'(C+M or SW)R' button now will not have any effect if pressed with Master Arm in OFF. Before when (C + M or SW)R button was pressed with Master Arm being OFF, the mode became active once Master Arm was switched ON.
IDN knob rotation was fixed in F1BE
Fixed rotation of altimeter Kollsman window and IDN knob.
NWS steering high sensitivity magnetic hold button now deenergizes with NWS on/off switch.

Improved Spotting dots. Adjusted appearance of spotting dots in VR to be close to their previous state. We are looking at feedback. Currently we are working on the advanced functionality for spotting dots rendering which will depend on VR hardware type and its properties which we hope to deliver in future patches to address difference in dots sizes between different VR devices and monitors.
Several performance improvements were activated after profiling of certain missions and concepts of usage. Intense battles will be affected the most: targets and shooting detection by AI units as well as launchers' line-of-sight routines are revised, major parts of the performance-consuming code moved to a parallel thread.

DCS: CH-47F by Eagle Dynamics

Added. Longitudinal Cyclic Trim (LCT) functionality in automatic and manual modes. LCT reduces fuselage nose down attitude as speed increases by tilting the rotors according to airspeed between 60 and 150 knots. This allows the fuselage to remain level for cargo and troops.
Added. Differential Air Speed Hold (DASH) functionality (WIP). As you increase speed, the DASH, (a long tube in the flight controls with an actuator on each end) will increase in length. If you move the cyclic back to center, the aircraft will still maintain airspeed. This allows you to keep the cyclic in a more natural, centered position when flying at higher airspeeds.
Added. ARC-201D and ARC-220 radios (WIP).
Fixed. Picture on the refuel/rearming screen.
Fixed. Thrust control lever animations.
