DCS World 1.2.1, Now Available

[aaron886]

it's prolly just a place holder anyway. lol. :pilotfly:

 

Here's to hoping! :)

[SkateZilla]

with all the hooplah about the WHOIS for the F-18C domain belonging to E.D./TFC, and this new model.

 

people are forgetting the punchline from an interview i read where it was mentioned the next DCS Plane was being worked on along side the P-51D and could be cancelled at any time.

 

 

It’s marginally possible that F-18C coulda been what they were working on and decided to cancel it and drop whatever assets they have into DCSW for the AI to use.

 

But I doubt it, and its 100% Speculation.

and could be cancelled at any time.

 

If the Hornet was cancelled then they would concentrate on the other US fixed wing flying contraption..

[EtherealN]

Really shouldn't use new models for AI aircraft as any kind of indicator. Remember, the MiG-31 got a new model too! (Though to be fair, I'd love DCS MiG-31. :D Especially with a Sibiria map. )

 

AI objects get updated all the time, and which ones get updated when depends on workflow; it is obviously not practical to update all of them at the same time, there's just not enough modelers etcetera around for that.

[SkateZilla]

why update one that looked fine to begin with while leaving these Flanker 2.0 Models that look utterly horrible in there?

You will need to do a complete install of 1.2.1

 

1. Install world 1.2.1

2. Install DCS black shark (BS1 the original) and be sure its activated.

3. Install any other modules you need to. The order of the modules does not matter.

I've just checked the "afterburner blinking" on another updated model, namely F-15C and indeed it does not share the issue. When I saw afterburner flickering in huge and small increments on the new '18, I thought the small flickering is a feature, not a bug. Hence my previous posts.

Translation of squale message (for who don't speak french):

Were are all waiting the delivery of DCS WORLD 1.2.2 related to FC3. Unfortunately, today we don't know the release date. Is somebody of the development team can communicate about a realistic date of these deliveries?

it seems more like Z Buffer Fighting or something, as it doesnt happen to me all the time. Sometimes the Burners are fine, then they just start blinking.

dont expect any answer on this. As soon as ED considers the product as ready to release, we´ll know more.

If I uninstall 1.2.0 will all the training files disappear because it took ages to set them up?

 

Is there no easier way to udpate than this repeated process of uninstalling everything and re-installing? It's lengthy and worrying.

Install 1.2.1. and use the autoupdater.

[marcos]

Install 1.2.1. and use the autoupdater.

So does 1.2.1 come with a full working set of training files, or do they have to be installed separately?

 

Is it the Ka-50 1.2.1 or Ka-50 Upgrade 1.2.1 module that you need?

 

Does 1.2.1 have the object patch for distance?

Did anyone noticed the fantastic small improvements over previous DCS versions that were not at all listed by ED?

 

I am thinking of those gorgeous new parking textures with some kind of bump mapping effects, the skid marks on the ground, the sound of the rain drops on the cockpit when it is closed?

Anything else you guys saw?

[bunraku]

Is the current version 1.2.1.5970?

 

Thanx

[Corrigan]

Nope.

[ALDEGA]

Is the current version 1.2.1.5970?

That's the current version of the standalone installer. After installation, it will automatically update to the latest version, which is currently 1.2.1.6288 (check lower right corner of the main screen in DCS)

Mine's hasn't updated. Still says 1.2.1.5790? :(

Try running "update DCS World" from your start menu (as an administrator if necessary)

Hi Rusty

 

Thanx for that.

I am from Edinburgh too, so maybe we can fly together sometime!!

 

Thanx again

[Rusty_M]

Sounds good mate. If I fly online (which isn't often at the moment) I'm usually with the FSF guys. A noob friendly, non-committed squadron which can be found here:
