DCS: A-10C Warthog, Version 1.2.0 Available

 

This new version of A-10C Warthog addresses the following items:

 

• Fixed ground shadow z-fighting when viewed from within the cockpit.
  
• JTAC's IR pointer missing the target has been fixed.
  
• Fixed constantly repeated radio reports from wingmen, particularly after leader landing.
  
• Fixed A-10C flight A-10C takeoff from runway. Wingmen would suddenly "freeze" between air and ground.
  
• Some buttons became non-clickable when view is zoomed. Fixed.
  
• JTACs sorted by range in radio menu.
  
• IFFCC Weapon Release Data Menus will now work correctly for all kinds of weapons.
  
• SPI position on TAD will be shown correctly for ripple releases when SPI source is IFFCC.
  
• Fixed CCRP behavior when the aircraft flies below entered hot elevation, and SPI elevation remains below ownship altitude.
  
• CCIP CR symbology logic adjusted for ownship altitude is less than entered hot elevation.
  
• INVALID FUZING HUD message will now account for WCMD height of function parameter.
  
• Reduced the probability of WCMD weapons overshooting the target when using low altitude deliveries.
  
• Fixed rocket sight occasionally appearing instead of the bombing reticle when Mk82AIR bomb was selected.
  
• WINDSHIELD HOT and STALL SYS caution lights have been implemented.
  
• AoA indexer lights will now work with weight on wheels.
  
• AoA indicator electrical power source was changed to Right AC bus.
  
• FFB stick shaker now works only if the AoA indicator is powered.
  
• FFB stick shaker will now not only work with gear up and flaps set to landing position (20 degrees).
  
• Aural stall warning (steady and chopped tones) will no longer work with flaps set to landing position (20 degrees).
  
• Flap position indicator will be frozen in the last known position upon electrical power loss.
  
• Master Caution light will no longer light when the inverter is initially turned on.
  
• The Master Caution light and caution lights flashing rate has been adjusted.
  
• L/R Engine Oil Pressure lights will go light immediately after any electrical power source is available.
  
• All possible avionics failures are correctly repaired now - no more inoperative air data related instruments after repair.
  
• Autolase was sometimes not correctly ceasing at impact time + 4 seconds timeout.
  
• DSMS correctly updates station status (i.e. detected, not detected, and any mismatches) upon weapon loadout change via the rearm radio menu. But you still must initialize DSMS manually via the DTS UPLOAD page.
  
• TGP laser codes are no longer zeroized when the TGP is loaded on a station via the rearm radio menu.
  
• Fixed Maverick TIME auto power function.
  
• TGP laser type can no longer be cycled with HOTAS while TGP is lasing.
  
• DSMS STAT and DSMS INVT CMBT notes have been implemented on the MFCD.
  
• Removed re initialization when autopilot on.
  
• Fixed UHF T-Tone switch causing unrecoverable crash.
  
• Possible crash on CBU-97/105 container opening in full screen mode is fixed.
  
• Corrected snap views.
  
• LSS Detects and tracks targets that are not lased. Fixed.
  
• When A-10C is repaired, "Repair Finished" message is now given.
  
• Marker beacon sounds outside main beam has been resolved.
  
• Cockpit mirrors not visible when selected in options has been fixed.
  
• SAS yaw mono channel mode restored.

So does this mean that from now on the patches will only be released for the DCS World module and version 1.1.1.1 will be the last patch for the regular standalone game?

So how do you install this patch if you already have A-10C installed?

Install DCS:-World 1.2.0 - install DCS:-Warthog 1.2.0

 

It will not touch your 1.1.1.1 install

Do I have to deactivate old World modules before install the new ones?

No, you don't have to deactivate them.

[sotosev]

DCS: A-10C Warthog, Patch 1.2.0 Available

• WINDSHIELD HOT and STALL SYS caution lights have been implemented.

Does this mean that cockpit ECS is modelled now? In which situations does WINDSHIELD HOT caution light switch on?

 

Regards!

[MainSail]

Thanks ED, great work !!

[BTTW-DratsaB]

Install DCS:-World 1.2.0 - install DCS:-Warthog 1.2.0

 

It will not touch your 1.1.1.1 install

Similar to Brisse's question I know, but will we be able to swap between these A10 (1.1.1.1 and World) installs without having to activate/deactivate?

 

Thanks for the patch, looking forward to trying World :thumbup:

Similar to Brisse's question I know, but will we be able to swap between these A10 (1.1.1.1 and World) installs without having to activate/deactivate?

 

Yes - they are two completely independent and separate SIM's. One has nothing to do with the other, apart from sharing the registry.

 

 

Although for the life of me I do not know why.........for years now the Community have been screaming for a unified core with Modular add-ons to eliminate multiple installs. Now that we have that the trend towards keeping the multiple installs does not seem to want to go away :music_whistling: :D

[Nate--IRL--]

:

 

Yes, no problem. I have about 8 different installs of various versions and products peacefully co-existing on my computer right now.

[Ninefingers]

Impressive changelog both World & A-10 !

 

Thx

[Corrigan]

Thanks for the patch! Does this mean repairs are now possible? Pretty sure they didn't work at all before.

[blaster454]

Please, a clarification. Are these module releases patches or full installs? In other words, is it necessary to de-install the core (World) and the A-10C or BS2 modules then reinstall the new core (World 1.2.0) and then any modules (CA, A10C, BS2)?

 

I understand that the old stand-alone versions of A-10C and BS2 can co-exist separately but I do not want multiple versions of the core and it's modules installed at this time. I assume that since the sizes of the new core and modules are the same as the installs were originally, that these new files are complete installs.

 

Another way of asking this: can the 1.2.0 core and modules be installed over the existing core and modules or is a wipe required?

 

Also, I see in the debug areas that some suggestions are being made to not install on an SSD. I have my current installs on an SSD and would prefer to keep them there. Is there a problem with World or any modules on an SSD?

 

Thanks for the pre-release and super bug-fix listing!

Remove your current version of world and the modules and install the new one.
