As the dude on discord said, patch notes like these show the value of "let them cook".

Sniper pod for the Viper nowhere to be seen. Judging by the changelog only one person has worked on the Viper and Hornet for the past moth or so. 

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

Yes very impressive patch notes!
Jordan air bases are good news for the Mirage F1 too

@BIGNEWY Does anybody understand what is that supposed to be?

DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics

• Added radio shadows for ground radars.

Too bad, not a lot of stuff over MB-339.

Keep hitting that Update button, baby!

Pretty sure that's a typo and RADIO should be RADAR based on the F-16 log

[Ghost79]

Can someone elaborate on this please?

 

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.

 

specifically the first part.

LOL! I'm actually sitting here modding it. Will make a wish so it will be a part of the default module when I'm done.

It is the better modelling of radar shadows behind objects, we have had it for terrain for a long time but we are also now adding it for ground structures. Thanks.

Polychop is missing in action. We are still waiting for the Kiowa's "autopilot" to be transferred to the Gazelle, so that we can fire a Hot missile from the helicopter stabilized, even if it is just once in a lifetime.

Syria, Kola, and even some Sinai.  For those of us on 110 baud acoustic couplers this might be an exercise in patience.

Then try to go offline again.  Not much hope, still going to try.

Then back to Syria, because it's basically impossible for that not to be the primary map at this point.  Up to those other guys to change that if they really want.

So does this mean that Quad Views is baked into DCS? Or does it still require additional software?

• VR. Added options for Quad View to VR settings

Well, in the meantime, I am prepping for a video on the Kola map update. Should I go eating? I am not sure as I want to update asap...

I just want them to add the stick force setting that the F4 has. I can’t stop ripping off my wings.

According to other post, you still need the software and it is (fttb) just a tick...

I dunno but I would prefer Syria over many other "orange" maps out there, yes, even NTTR. Keep up the great work!
