Quick question, will this be an open beta patch, for DCS World, or an officially finished and released patch?

 

Anyway, looking forward to it regardless :)

[Grimes]

He ninja'd "Integration into DCS World" :D

[sorcer3r]

Multiplayer crash on map change fixed? :)

Beta patch AFAIK.

Beta patch AFAIK.

Right, it's clear now but I'm pretty sure Matt ninja edited the post after I asked the question :D

[VTJS17_Fire]

• Fuel Quantity Gauge is always on.

• Altimeter ELECT/PNEU switch inoperable.

 

Does this mean, that the fuel quantity gauge is now always on or after this fix? Same with the altimeter switch - is it now inoperable or after the fix?

 

Didn't fly the Hawg for 3-4 months ... :(

 

 

kind regards,

[NineLine]

Will this eliminate being able to use our Steam installed copies?

You can still use that if you like.

I hope not because that will be very incorrect.

Maybe reference is made as follows:

 

The error is called: "Fuel Quantity Gauge is always on." or "Altimeter ELECT/PNEU switch inoperable"

 

If shown on this list, that means they have been adjusted?

 

:huh:

 

:dunno::dunno:

[Snoopy]

I'm thinking that's a list of what was wrong and now fixed...funny because I don't recall the fuel gauge always being on.

[Tailgate]

I believe I've used the ELEC/PNEU and the switch worked but I don't remember if it was functional. I think Pneumatic is used in case of power failure.

[E61-v1T1]

..funny because I don't recall the fuel gauge always being on.

 

True :huh:

[YakobeGrizzlyLepotyv]

this is going to allow us to start A-10C in DCS world I think as the patch number in the bottom left hand corner is the next patch number. SU-25T vs A-10C here we come

[Modulus]

No fix for the CBU-97/105 terrain altitude problem?

That one really needs to get fixed. I basically avoid using the CBU-97 because of it.

Curious if this will bork .lua files for exporting images again?

What terrain altitude problem?

[Modulus]

What terrain altitude problem?

 

The one where the CBU-97s release their sub-munitions too early if the terrain height is anything above sea level.

It might not be the weapon model, but maybe the release point calculation.

Oh, so the fix will be in the next version? Great! I didn't see it in the change log, so I assumed it wasn't going to be in there.

Thanks!

The change logs are never exhaustive, especially when it comes to minor tweaks and fixes.

Me too. Maybe, one of the devs can help us?

[ralfidude]

By the fuel gage, do they perhaps mean that the fuel gage is always showing what the fuel state is even when starting from cold start?

 

Because in that case yes, that gage was always showing your fuel status no matter if your A10 was on or not.

 

But now it seems this will not be so.

 

 

 

 

On a similar note, APU requires fuel to turn on?? Because there was a MP mission I played where the jet was cold, and no fuel. APU would not start, then the admin told me to take refuel first, after refueling I got the APU to work.
