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

no thanks.

We’ve seen far to many times how proposed plans have found themselves to be unrealistic, which creates user expectations and then disappointment when they’re not met.

Much better to under promise and over deliver

The MiG-29A is out in today's update!

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.

WE GOT R-27 DATALINK BEFORE GTA VI.

Sunbather · 2025-09-17T14:59:00Z

Great patch! Looking forward to playing DCS for many hours tonight! Initial feedback:

1. Next time, please don't let us wait 5 weeks for a fix for something significant like the F/A-18C radar!

2. Give us a heads-up when EA period for something ends. These are 3rd party modules but we did get a Newsletter about the South Atlantic map leaving early access but Sinai was a suprise. Actually wanted to buy Sinai. It's just 10 euro more now but still... Might hold off on buying now, would have bought it if I had known EA was ending...

3. Please release the new A-10CII campaign as soon as possible on Steam. I want to buy and play it as soon as possible. (Saying this because with the F-4E Northern Defenders campaign it took a few days before it arrived on Steam). --> already released. Thank you!

Thanks again for this meaty update!

Gunfreak · 2025-09-17T15:00:02Z

Does this mean what i think it means?

Quote

Fixed: Missing HOTAS AG Gun Strafe Toggle.

I thought "not correct for our F16"

Was the answer to the lack toggle for this?

I assume it's "missile cage button"?

buceador · 2025-09-17T15:04:51Z

Great news for those awaiting the Fulcrum, I had hoped for a Viper visor update (as per the Fulcrum) but as has been mentioned many, many times, patches rarely meet the varied needs of the individual users.

Silver_Dragon · 2025-09-17T15:11:17Z

194 GB here (1 hour download)...

Great quantities of updates... updating roadmap.

Beirut · 2025-09-17T15:18:42Z

Lots of map love in this update, and that's my kinda love! :smoke:

[DE] T-Bone · 2025-09-17T15:18:52Z

Really good update with great content! Looking forward to the SCAS yaw fix, but especially to the new content on the Iraq map. Thank you very much!

TheBiggerBass · 2025-09-17T15:22:28Z

Still loading - 347 GB this time. I guess it's due to because I've got all maps.

347? That's a ton!

I have all the maps and I'm at 165GB. (Glad I have a 2TB NVME just for DCS) Did you miss a few updates and you're getting them all now?

Well, I've got almost all modules including new Fulcrum plus NS430. This update nearly touches everything in my installation. Might take a while this time ...

Spoiler

Climbing into the cockpit!

Is this implemented in this version or is it coming in a future patch?

Smuk89 · 2025-09-17T16:15:40Z

Can we get a breakdown of what all the new fuze types are and what they do, use case scenario etc for the Russian bombs etc

works fine by me now, except the 1MB/s... I guess, CDN servers went warm a bit ^^

If you have a download issue due to server capacity, just try again a little later, any download already done will still be there, when you start the download again it will check what you already have and continue.

Obviously lots of people are trying to download all at once.

thank you

Yep, same problem here, error mid-download. I guess this showcases the hype we all had? ^^

Another reason some of us stay on Steam. The download is chugging away at full speed.
