Patch notes discussion February 2025

[Beirut]

Excellent news on the Afghan map. 

 

As for: 

• AI Aircraft. Mi-28 explodes during start from a small little helipad - fixed.

 

Is there a difference between small helipads, little helipads, and "small little" helipads? This could have significant tactical consequences.

DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics

• Fixed: Damage model - Pilot cannot survive any explosive hit.

Thank you!

Did this make it in to today's patch? 9L said it was fixed internally and would come in to the next patch. Can't see it in the patch notes though.

Based on the change log, yes they more or less did.  I'm really looking forward to see how south west Afghanistan looks now.

I think the following issue was not resolved this release:

After my 40 minutes downloading ....
Updater shows an error dialog "Server capacity may be limited at the moment." and stops.

Great news. I honestly didn't expect it to appear in February. More like March, and here's such a surprise. Thanks a lot! Bravo to the ED/Afghanistan map team, I can't wait to fly the new version over Afghanistan :)!

Excellent patch. Today I especially want to thank ED for the fixes related to Yak-52. Even though we waited a long time, patience was rewarded. I will use the opportunity to test it on the Afghanistan map, hoping that everything will work. Thanks again.

What does that IFF rejection line mean for the Hornet? As I understand there is no mode/code simulation so rejection wouldn’t be possible anyway.

Also the EXP slew line needs some more context it seems.

if you punch in the wrong digits it will show an error and reject it

Got it, thanks! That’s a step in the right direction.

The Aghan map is looking sweet. Can't wait for the DL to finish and try it out.

[Razorback]

Yessss...finally the release of the AFG map...
Sad to see that the video doesn't include more low-level views of the terrain (especially in urban areas). Not everyone flies an F-18...
So in future videos, please incorporate more low-altitude shots, as it was the case for the IRAQ map video.
I'm pleasantly surprised that ED and Currenthill are working together... when will we see wider cooperation on integrating these mods? 

[pimp]

Nice change log can't wait to give it a go. Unfortunately, no new infantry models mentioned.

[RedHorse]

What a surprise, no update for the ch-47f. Have you missed it?

[Benom8]

Sweet! We can finally get data out of the mission scripting environment from the hook environment

Here's a bodged-together proof-of-concept.

local Handler = {

  onMissionLoadEnd = function() 
    local execString = 
      [[
        return a_do_script(
        [=[ 
          -- Executed in mission scripting environment
          return "Hello From Mission "
        ]=]
        )
      ]]

      local ret = net.dostring_in("mission", execString)
      net.log(ret) -- "Hello From Mission " appears in dcs.log!
  end
}
DCS.setUserCallbacks(Handler)

Will the "IR missiles react on flares before launch" be extended to AI ground units (i.e. making "pre-flaring" useful) or am I misunderstanding the change and it is for the opposite.. rejecting flares for the launching aircraft?

Currenthill does not LOD's at the moment, so there is a lot of work needed on optimization if Currenthill/ED decides to go down that route.

I think your understanding it correctly and you're right that it should absolutely be extended to ground units (and AI units in general). Would finally allow skill settings on IR SAMs to have a big impact on difficulty with low skilled units happily shooting at flares...

Was Afghanistan East put out in the update, the video BN pointed too in this thread seemed to tell us it was, I see no ref to it in the patch notes.

Thanks
