[Wags]

DCS: P-51D Mustang (Final), 1.2.1

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=136&scr=products&lang=en

This version marks the final version of this product and is no longer in beta.

 

• War Emergency Power (WEP) has been implemented.

• Tail wheel dynamics reworked for more realistic performance.

• Realistic cooling system added and integrated into the full engine thermodynamic model.

• Landing gear physics have been reworked to have realistic behavior and interaction with the fairing doors and down-lock latches.

• Fairing doors can now be damaged or ripped off at over-speed conditions.

• Engine wear or damage due to high manifold pressure at low RPM, overheating, and overuse of WEP has been implemented.

• Oil pressure is now viscosity dependent. Oil dilution is now possible and has direct impact on engine performance.

• The front dash gauge panel and the K-14 gunsight are now spring suspended.

• The K-14 gunsight has been reworked using new data from K-14 documents.

• The rudder anti-booster tab now works correctly.

• Control stick and rudder pedals movement are now limited due to hinge moments.

• Flap drag has been adjusted.

• Lamps brightness and electro-dynamic gauge readings are now voltage sensitive. You can best see this during engine start.

• The starter can now be burned out due to overheat if overused or overloaded.

• Guns jam due to over-G firing has been added.

• The radiator shutters' thermo-sensors can be damaged now.

• All aircraft failures are now reported correctly in debriefings.

• Sounds for the primer, pilot parachute opening and flapping during decent, and pilot landing have been added. The canopy sound has also been improved.

• Corrected tendency for left roll at takeoff.

• Adjusted Red Tail pilot art.

• Improved bailing out animation.

• Fixed landing light on with air start.

• Fixed cockpit tooltip for the gun switch.

• Corrected radio information entry in Mission Editor.

• Improved AI P-51D.

• Fixed SCR-522 resetting in some situations.

• Adjusted G impact on airframe.

• Improved pilot normal maps.

• Adjusted landing gear collision model.

• Corrected trim performance in multiplayer.

• Adjusted wingmen takeoff behavior.

• Improved prop RPM model.

• Sounds for control stick and rudder movement have been added.

Outstanding upgrade !

[Kalahari]

Thanks ED,hopefully now won't bounce back into orbit when I try to land this horse :)

[tintifaxl]

Here goes my hope for an axis adversary for the release version.

[Tailgate]

Could someone explain what this is?

 

The rudder anti-booster tab now works correctly.

 

 

 

I'm not sure if it's related, but are the rudder trim wheel units now in sync with the RW settings (5-6 units of right trim for takeoff)?

AS you deflect the rudder, anti-boost tab deflects to the same direction to increase hinge moment. Boost tab deflects in the opposite direction (take a look at the aileron boost tab).

I cant describe how happy i am at the moment!! This is going to be so much more fun now :) Huge Thanks to ED for putting that patch out, especially the Dogfights will be a lot more challenging and interesting now, now that you actually have to care about your engine!

Brilliant ED, thank you for all the hard work!

Are you talking about an anti-servo tab? Usually that's how we refer to them in the US these days.

The Colonials have always been different....:smartass:

[Bricks]

Really cool. So many fixes and improvements. Thanks for the hard work! :thumbup:

[Echo38]

Huzzah!

[Tailgate]

Looking forward to starting er up the right way without blowing up the engine.

[Napa]

I just had a quick flight with it.

 

Impressive!!!!! :worthy:

 

A work of art. The fecking Mona Lisa of combat flight simulators.

Boxed version = full price or the price...

[cichlidfan]

I certainly paid full price for the box version of A-10C, from Amazon. I even paid full price for my second key from ED. Nope, don't see a discount in the cards.

[EtherealN]

2. If yes, how much will people, who bought the beta, have to pay for the boxed version?

 

You did not "buy the beta". You pre-ordered a digital download copy of the product, and gained access to beta versions as a result. The same key is still relevant and valid for the release product.

[Echo38]

Question: if, at some point in the future, I buy a boxed copy, can I give my old digital copy to someone else? Perhaps by unbinding the serial?

[nick10]

So is this the final version? The actual proper release so to speak?

[Nate--IRL--]

Yes. It is the retail version.

[Slap_Chop]

Poor Nate . Busier than a one legged man in an A$$ kicking contest. Thanks for all your efforts today. And if you're not on the payroll bigger thanks.

[nick10]

Yes. It is the retail version.

Bugger. I thought there was a chance of an AI opponent?

 

I recall seeing pix of an fw-190 and b-17 for escort?

 

and how do i deactivate previous versions to avoid losing downloads?

[SmokeyTheLung]

Here's to hoping that ED isn't done tweaking the .50cal tracers and impacts... I appreciate that they're working on the eye candy but I was hoping they'd make things look better/more realistic not the other way around.

 

The tracers look like glowing orbs and the ground impacts/flashes are about the same as the new 30MM effects from the GAU-8... Definitely not right

[menendezdiego]

So, since when does the P-51 shoot HEI rounds?

 

 

And what is up with those god awful tracers?!?!
