I haven't been able to find anything added. Only the USN and USAF same as before. Not sure if they are for other countries or what.

Thanks for checking.

@BIGNEWY Do you know what could be behind this mystery patch note?

[Devil 505]

@BIGNEWY BigNewy, appreciate all the feedback.  With the new cargo stuff starting to come online and all the high fidelity helos rolling out, does ED have any interest or plans to go back and update the Huey to todays Helo standards?

We do like to return to older products and give them a fresh new look when we can, but at the moment our teams are very busy and I have no news to share sorry.

The overall performance at Bagram has really improved, thanks ED!

[schurem]

At least give us working windshield wipers on that old bird!

Absolutely fare enough.  Appreciate the heads up.  How is the 35 coming along?  Hahaha. Not sure I will get a response on that one.  I know the Eagle is coming first.  Looking forward to it.

[NoPro]

The launcher is still not working….still having the grey window unless I set the value to false in the options file.

since the update DCS randomly crashes to desktop. I have the latest Nvidia driver 580.97, latest pimax play with latest pimax light firmware, rtx 4090, 7950x3D, all drivers up to date. If there is a discussion about this already, please point me to it.

Thanks

I haven't noticed specific 580.97 thread yet,but you'll get more attention by posting in crash-related section of the forum:

https://forum.dcs.world/forum/482-game-crash

Keep in mind providing logs is crucial, because it's impossible to investigate anything without these really. In the meantime, you can also try to use DCS log anaylzer to try to narrow down the cause by yourself:

found the source of the problem. Overclock on my 4090 doesn't work as it worked on 577 driver. When I reverted to 577 and overclocked to my usual profile that I've been using for 2 months, the game worked perfectly, as soon as I went back to 580.97 game started crashing again. When I played without overclock, no crashes

Hi, 

yes its default profiles for the total control keyboard unit. 

I have the unit myself and used it to test the profiles.

I have no idea sorry as it is an unofficial mod. Might be best to check with Massun92.

May I ask you BN in this regard what about the fix for the Winwing panels in case of the Dimm export problem? 

[virgo47]

I'm puzzled about this thing for CH-47F: Added. Ground detent position for the Thrust Cont Lever.

And I'm not alone, obviously  (the comment is from after the update):

I know what it does when it's checked in Special Options (appearing as ugly GROUND_DETENT). I investigated, why my Ng "needles" settle ~63 instead of 50-55. Only when I press AND HOLD a keybind for "Ground Detent override - pressing" it goes down to normal values.

So my laymen observation is, that it disables/offsets the lower range of the thrust lever, but I have no idea how it should work because the manual doesn't say anything about it (at least not when I search in text). If there is a ground detent, is it so coarse that I can't just pull the lever gently above it? Does it always jump to ~63 on Ng indicator?

Also, if it is a detent, shouldn't there be more than just a single hold-n-press binding for it?

All exports, no matter the screen rypw you use, have the dimming issue. There are threads about it in the multiscreen forum.
