Raven68 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Update folks... 25 April 2013 Update Dear all, The past week or so has been more than a bit traumatic with the loss of a dear friend and our studio director has been away on travel in the US (in fact, meeting with me yesterday). One result of the meeting was him granting me much more freedom in how I can pass along information here. Earlier we had a more complex system of checks for public announcements that could slow things down dramatically. This will be changing in the form of weekly Friday updates starting next week. Many of you are wondering and openly asking, "what's up with 1.2.4 and UH-1?!?" The BST UH-1H pre-purchase beta version is ready to go, but in order for it to work within DCS, we must release it concurrently with DCS ver. 1.2.4. Unfortunately, over the past week we had a few of A-level blocking bugs that prevented this from happening (like flares that had no effect on IR-guided missiles and ground units that would crazily warp around the map in network play). We think these have now been resolved and the 1.2.4 software is being retested. Once we are sure these have been resolved, both 1.2.4 and UH-1H will be released. Given the nature of bug hunting / extermination, I'm afraid that I cannot provide a release date. While 1.2.4 has added several new features and fixed quite a few bugs, we do not pretend that it has cleaned up all outstanding issues, like performance impact from some types of cluster munitions. Such issues will continue to be worked on and addressed in 1.2.5 and beyond. Thanks, Matt EDIT: Thanks for the update Matt. I'm sure most of us will appreciate these announcements.

joey45 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Great to hear. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

NRG-Vampire Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Should not be much longer now.... Friday updates will be nice.... next friday in may anyway there were good news but bad news too 1.2.4 delayed by bugs
Boomer Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Another step in the right direction. I believe that this community has matured enough to accept unavoidable delays and changes. Thanks a lot. :thumbup: Wishlist: DCS: MiG29M/CMT | DCS: MiG25/31 | DCS: MiG-23MLD | DCS: F16CJ
Metal Hawk Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 While 1.2.4 has added several new features and fixed quite a few bugs, we do not pretend that it has cleaned up all outstanding issues, like performance impact from some types of cluster munitions. Such issues will continue to be worked on and addressed in 1.2.5 and beyond.That's bad news for me. Not having a very fast PC this hits me hard. There are times where frames drop to 1 fps. Especially in multiplayer where there are a dozen of guys dropping anything they have all at once. Please make this a priority so that it is fixed with the next patch. Thanks.
WildBillKelsoe Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I believe a weekly update system is a good step. Also, cluster munitions need more work but let's all hope for a close HUEY release. I can't wait to get my hands on that bird. That's bad news for me. Not having a very fast PC this hits me hard. There are times where frames drop to 1 fps. Especially in multiplayer where there are a dozen of guys dropping anything they have all at once. Please make this a priority so that it is fixed with the next patch. Thanks. trust me, nothing makes me madder than a slideshow. I resorted to Mk-82's just for this. I hope they model an airburst Mk-20. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
mnrty Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks alot for the update Matt. Greatly appreciated!:) Also, i love the idea of weekly updates, since im of the more curious type of persons :D
Cowboy10uk Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Thankyou for the update Matt, it is appreciated. I think everyone of us is aware of the traumatic week, with sad loss to dcs and our community as a whole. I think the idea of a Friday update will be very well received.

shagrat Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Awesome! I hope the move to a more open information policy, like in the beginning is well received, by the community. I really love these updates on what is happening behind the scenes. Well, of course it can't be a release or major improvement all the time. Hopefully people learn that these sim development thingy is sometimes troublesome and complex. So delays have to be expected. For myself I can say any info thrown our way, is highly appreciated and waiting is a lot easier when you know "they are fixing the flare issue", much better than to be disappointed by a borked release. Hey, even a release info with the bugs not fixed by 1.2.4 will give us the power to decide if we update or wait... and you know "when it is done" it is to be expected that CBUs still hit the fps, so no need for a new shitstorm (which by the way doesn't help solve the bug anyhow). So thank you Matt for your support of the community. :thumbup: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
gunterlund21 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Great news Wags. Information whether its good or bad is way better than no information at all. Now we wont have to thumb through 100 threads (exaggerated) on people speculating as to why something is not released. I was in Art of the Kill D#@ it!!!!
