Upcoming A-10C Patch Change Log

Excellent! Good news.

 

Question: how is the multi-monitor business handled in DCS-world when BS(2) and A-10C are plugged into DCS-World?

When you want to change monitor configurations you will have to reboot your PC!:D

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.

 

Of course the APU needs fuel too. What should it burn else? :smilewink:

[Snoopy]

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.

That is the correct way the gauge works. I'll record a video today of how the gauge really works.

 

As to the APU, yes it needs fuel to run but a very small amount, the minimum for us to run for maintenance is a couple hundred pounds.

Works ok for me now ..... what else it is supposed to do .

 

Switch from electric to pneu when I have damage , it works .

How soon? hehe!

Do I no longer get the activation window for P51 if I have BS2 and A10C integrated? (I own both). Now, when I want to fly Su25T I have to press exit three times before my mission continues loading. Or should I install only the modules I already activated?

[Rusty_M]

I think you get the activation window for any module you have installed, but not activated. I assume you have installed the P51 as well as DCS World, but have yet to buy the P51?

[Hamblue]

Great News!! :thumbup:

So are all of the multiplayer crash issues fixed?

 

Another one I didn't see is sometimes servers disappear from the list after a period of time.

[secret1962]

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,

General fixes. The phrase wrote is the bug. So it's fixed.

 

I may be wrong though.

[TurboHog]

Correct...

 

I figured out that the answer is rather obvious.

 

But I expected the activation to show up only if I started a P51D mission...

the F10 radio chat is not fiexed again for multiplayer... this bug still since 1 year, and it s very annoying.

remember : if the server is dead, client can not have access to the F10 radio chat (Other), idem for JTAC

Not a bug, this is the intended implementation. The F10 radio menu is for single player only.

 

 

idem for JTAC

 

What about JTAC?

[Hamblue]

Looks like they are introducing DCS world the correct way. Adding one piece at a time as beta, fix major problems at each step, then release the final. Who knows maybe with a new fast fighter added? :music_whistling:

1. P51/DCS beta

2. A-10C patch/DCS add.

3. Probably the KA-50 add.

4. Maybe other new plane? (Just wishful thinking)

5. Final DCS release with some bugs fixed.

 

I would think they'd do a package release of the A-10, KA-50 and P51 at a reduced price.

[kyletiernan]

Thank you so much, I honestly believe the team at Eagle Dynamics are the most productive team out there. Their name alone is quality assurance for me. :D

[HiJack]

This is great news! Maby A-10C missions will pick up some interest again ;)

[Hamblue]

What makes no sense to me is why did they just release a patch to the P-51 if they are about to do a A-10c patch?

If they will both be on DCS world then wouldn't the P-51 crowd have to do another full install when the A-10 patch released? Or is the A-10c patch hidden in the P-51?

 

If you have the P-51 you might want to wait until the A-10 is released to possibly avoid having to do another lengthly download in a few days.

[Eddie]

When the a-10c and Ka-50 modules are released, all you'll need to download will be the modules themselves (the same the P-51 module .exe file). You'll only need to download the DCS world files again if world also receives another update at the same time.

[Hamblue]

So does this mean that the P-51 and A-10 patches will not put them both in DCS World yet? and that they will be 2 different programs that happen to be incorporated into DCS at the moment?

Huh? Either I misunderstand what you're saying or you don't really understand how the DCS core system works.

 

You have DCS:World (currently v1.1.2.1), this is the DCS_World_en_1.1.2.1.exe and the 3 .bin files that go along with it. DCS:World is the "core" and contains all the terrain, skins, AI, netcode, etc, etc.

 

You then have the individual aircraft modules which install in to the "core", P-51D_1.1.2.1.exe is one of these modules. Each aircraft module installs the files required to actually fly a given aircraft in to the core, the core already contains everything needed for that aircraft to be used by the AI or for you to fly in an MP server with others flying that aircraft.

 

The aircraft modules can be installed at any time and updated/patched individually without the need to reinstall the "core". It would be possible for an individual module to be patched without a patch for the core or any other module being released at the same time.

 

So put simply, when the A-10C and BS2 "patches" are released all you'd need to download is the A-10C_x.x.x.x.exe (for example), and then run it to install the A-10C module in to the "core" and then enter a valid licence key in order to fly it.

[Revvin]

You're still thinking of A-10, BS2, P-51 as separate entities, its DCS World that ties them all together, the planes are just modules now so their version number is not as relevant as they were when they were standalone products.

[159th_Viper]

So does this mean that the P-51 and A-10 patches will not put them both in DCS World yet?

 

No. Patch will lead to World integration.

 

and that they will be 2 different programs that happen to be incorporated into DCS at the moment?

 

Yes, both the P-51 and the A10 as well as the Kamov will be integrated.
