• Fixed: end-mission window no longer appears in the debriefing after exiting the simulation.
• Fixed: previously added units are no longer reset when creating random groups in “Bomber Intercept” and “Ground Attack” missions.

UI

• Added Search bar to Loadout and Livery lists in Rearming and Dynamic slots menu with the ability to search by name

Weapons

• Introduced advanced model for R-27 missile family. Missiles got new CFD-based flight model, authentic control system that includes wing actuator model, altitude band-switching autopilot, Kalman-type guidance filters (different for IR and RF versions) which also drive seeker gimbal mechanics, INS and datalink system with realistic inaccuracies (for RF missile only), and RF or IR seeker. New semiactive RF seeker provides 'multitarget' tracking feature. This means that RF signals from several distinct targets will interfere and form one bigger apparent target once they simultaneously fall into the missile tracking gate. This apparent target may lead the missile between real targets in a target group, or to dispensed chaff. It also may steal missile velocity tracking gate and break guidance. R-27 proximity fuze now has a conical antennas pattern and variable explosion command delay to adjust for target size and closure rate. And, in addition, missiles got number of limitations caused by control systems design. For example RF missile can not be launched with roll angle exceeding 120 degrees because of gimbaled INS roll limit.
• Added Mk-83AIR GP HD bomb
• Added laser PRF code adjustment option for GBU-54
• Fixed phantom bomb instances being frozen on impact instead of penetrating whatever they collided with
• Added fuze options for Soviet bombs and dispensers (BetABs, FABs, OFABs and RBKs). Adjusted BetAB, FAB and OFAB warhead parameters
• Added fuze options for Chinese bombs (250-2 and 250-3)
• Fixed phantom LGB instances trajectory desynchronization when using non-default laser PRF code
• Corrected available fuze variant sets for US HTP and non-HTP bombs
• Mk-20/CBU-99. Improved bombsight accuracy. Please note that using FMU-140 in low-altitude horizontal flight bombing runs will lead to poor accuracy - in these cases Mk 339 fuze must be used. FMU-140 should provide acceptable accuracy in dive bombing runs and, in specific conditions, in horizontal flight bombing runs (function altitude set to ca. 1/3 of release altitude and specific airspeed at release, e.g. function altitude - 3 kft, release altitude - 10 kft, TAS - 580 kts)
• Mk-20/CBU-99. Fixed Mk 339 fuze function delay being counted down after arming instead of after release
• BL755. Added fuze function delay options
• GMLRS. Added animation of rotation of the tail stabilizers block
• BetAB-500ShP. Improved bombsight accuracy in normal release conditions (release at 500 m altitude)
• Fixed non-detonation of bombs in certain conditions
• Fixed IRIS-T missiles constantly switching between command and IR guidance, which caused them to miss.

Terrain Engine

• Tuned lazy loading of 3D models. We already had asynchronous loading in place, and this update adds complementary optimizations to ensure only the models needed in the current situation are loaded. This should slightly improve loading times in both the Mission Editor and mission startup.

Voice chat

• Fixed. Crash on exiting from DCS when the “Pending request” window is open.

Launcher

• Added. Help page with access to FAQ, User support, myReach AI helper, etc.

Hi, its a question for heatblur, or wait for the change logs. 

thank you 

[GrafRotz]

The elephant in the room, - if nothing changes - will the patch include the Mig-29?

I wonder about the C-130! My daughter is ready to be my co-pilot! Or is it still a ways out?

Check out their section in the forums they're currently shooting for the October update and are confident in it, any push to November would be due to reasons beyond their control.

Someone (their CEO) said October is the goal, November worst case.

Let me fly the Mig29 atleast a month ...then the C-130

Must have been a Google translate error. I think you meant to say:

 

"Let me fly the C-130 for at least a month ...then the Mig-29."

I doubt it. It would be quite unexpected for ED to deploy such a huge change without any previous news. I' d expect at least months of hype before getting to Vulkan - at least if it makes significant performance boost in VR for example.

Actually this year is slowly turns into Q4 and still we got only silence about Vulkan (to be honest, always getting a feedback of "it's progressing well"). The community slowly turns away from that topic, it's not hyped anymore, I doubt that more than a handful of users are actually interested in that progress. It's a pity.

But let's hope all the best

It would be quite unexpected for ED to deploy such a huge change without any previous news.

I fully expect them to release some sort of forum post or video content to show the VulKan improvements, same way Wags demonstrated the DLSS implementation and how it looked, well ahead of DLSS release. Same with dynamic campaign, I doubt it'll be a ghost surprise drop XD

Where are the patch notes if there is a patch notes discussion here?

Patch notes will release just before the patch goes live, planned for tomorrow the 17th

Now this means for me, that 100% not this year and 90% not even next year (or maybe years). Interesting.

Why do you always do these patches when I am about to go away. I mean, come on, can you not at least check my diary first!

Can you make your calendar public? Sounds like it's a pretty good info on ED release schedule!

Let's all chip in and give him 2 months vacation at the sunny exotic Atlantic City.  We might get the C130, Hellcat, PTO asset pack and Typhoon while he's away.
