October Patch PSA

Dear all, the latest update for DCS has unintentionally included the work in progress update for the Kiowa Warrior.
While I'm sure you're all happy to finally receive some much needed bug fixes and the Echo19 sound update, this
update also includes changes that were not finalised or had not finished testing.

We're still working out exactly how this happened and what the current state of the Kiowa. Needless to say, we're
also considering the next steps once we know more.

What we do know/suspect:

Echo19's sounds are included, but they are NOT complete or finished
The input system overhaul is included, but there will be many non-functional or incorrectly functioning bindings
The damage model code is included but not the associated art changes
All of the bug fixes in our dev changelog should be included (at least something good comes of this!)

We ask you for your patience as we try to determine what has happened and how we can best solve it.

Sven, Dan, Joose, Rober, & Kinkku

I came to see if I'd done something to it. Turns out I hadn't but I have now.

Maybe I was a bit hasty by messing about with my bindings, I'll have to do it again when and if ED pull their finger out.

I don't blame you at all. SNAFU at ED, communication problems, whatever's happened thanks for the explanation. I'm still gonna try to fly it as I haven't managed to get it bloody started yet since updating. Funny but the way I read it this wasn't gonna be done yet. If I could understand it, well, never mind.

All the joys. Now I'm looking forward to an update .

Interestingly, I am glad to finally have the fixes rolled out, accidentally, or not.

As long as it doesn't break a lot of important features, I am happy to enjoy the glimpse at the work done and just patiently wait for your finalization. 

Please consider to not roll back, unless there are really critical bugs introduced through the update now.

I can only speak for myself, but I can certainly live with a month or two in an intermediate state, like in any early access phase, we are quite used to.
