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

Indeed. I use steam for two reasons.

1. The stable fast download speed 

2. I like to see just how much of my live I've devoted to DCS(around 1800 hours so far)

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 

Hmmm that wasn't my experience. It did not register what had already been downloaded and unpacked. It started from scratch again (and crashed again). Too many MiG-29 lovers out there

The Updater crashed twice for me, but now it's back up to my normal speeds. ED did well improving their patcher these past few years.

Err. maybe I was mistaken here. Don't remember the numbers, but it DOES look like it is starting from a later point. Slow download made the time look the same as it did originally.  As an aside, I tried to EDIT my original message, but all of a sudden I do not seem to be able to edit any forum posts. I get a red "Required" at the top, but no indication of WHAT is required.

finished right now just finde. Also the speed went higher again.

But something else. Anyone recognize the Aircraft, Wags is shooting at in the latest video? Just asking... Hun? Draken?

Sadly it seams the Kola Map is abandonware by now

Aside from the release of the wonderful MiG-29A and the fixes and additions to the Core, I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements to the Caucasus map. I can't wait to try it again, since I started there with the Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-15, and Yak-52. Thank you so much!

No. Now we got SA updates, and next time it's Kola.
We didn't get any Syria updates, but some small updates in Germany, because the have been busy with Normandy.
This will always go in cycles with small teams.

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."

Nope. Bypass the MiG. Bring on the Work horse

Very nice patch. It's not mentioned in the patch notes, but it appears that the Chinook blank CDU pages bug has been fixed. Thank you. Are there any other additions?

Talking about appreciation. Happily surprised about the TLC given to the Caucasus map in this latest update! Hope there is more to come with new technology coming online as part of the new maps under development. With so many content available (campaigns and user files) this remains an important map that deserves to remain up to date.

You're killing me...

 

Edit: I missed a few updates, I'm trying the "dcs_updater update versionnumber@openbeta" thing with one updater after the other rn and so far on the first step, it seems to work. Still using the @openbeta tag since I was on that branch before they got merged and my file structure still represents it.
