DCS News Update

[.Tigre.]

Ad ogni modo , non per fare il solito cliente "difficile" ma se fanno uscire un modulo solo per la OpenBeta e non per la Stabile e la 2.1.1 per me è una grande vaccata , specie poi considerando che il Nevada è la morte sua come si suol dire, vediamo cosa succede ma il fatto che compaia "Requires DCS World version 1.5.8!" nello shop per l' Harrier è molto poco incoraggiante...mah...:doh:

 

 

:thumbup:

[.Tigre.]

Tra l' altro, per chi lo aveva chiesto,mi pare Conroy, il prezzo di vendita adesso è di 69.99$ , quindi è finita l' offerta...

Credo che Viper79 si riferisse alla versione stabile di DCS WORLD (di solito 1/2 settimane), non alla versione stabile del modulo.

Il ramo 2.++ non sarà stable fino al rilascio della 2.5: ergo è del tutto ragionevole che, al momento, si limitino al rilascio solo per la 1.5.8

 

Non mi meraviglierei se effettivamente la versione dell'Harrier 2.++ verrà effettivamente pubblicata direttamente per la 2.5 (Stable e/o Beta che sia).

IMPORTANT: AV-8B COPY PROTECTION CHANGE!

 

With the release of the AV-8B today, it is import to know that this will be the first DCS World product that uses our new protection system. Rather than use StarForce keys, we are moving to a “keyless” system which binds your purchase to your http://www.dcs-world.com username, and NOT a key. You will not need a constant internet connection either. The new system will just “phone home” once every four days to perform a verification check.

 

This new system will also provide benefits for Steam users and Gifting. Once those details are worked out, we look forward to sharing them with you.

 

We strongly believe that this will make protection of your DCS World products much more simple. At a later point, we hope to apply this same protection system to all of our other modules.

 

Also, the AV-8B release today is for the Open Beta version of DCS World. Please make sure you use this version and that you update it today.

 

We must release all new aircraft modules on the Caucasus map first as not everyone may operate one of the DCS 2.1 maps. We don't believe it fair to force customers to purchase one of these maps to fly their new aircraft. We do though plan to update DCS 2.1 for the AV-8B in the next one to two weeks.

Ma che discorso è?? non troviamo giusto che un cliente debba acquistare una mappa per usare la 2.1 quando il Caucaso è gratuito e ci possono volare tutti, bella scoperta peccato che sono quelli della 2.1.1 , con annesse mappe Nevada e Normandia, che se la prendono in saccoccia come si suol dire , no dico ma fare uscire il modulo per entrambe le versioni così che ognuno potesse usare l' Harrier su quella di interesse era troppo difficile?

 

 

Per la 2.1.1 è "prevista" l' uscita entro una o due settimane, troppo buoni io avrei posticipato al 2018 tanto quelli che usano questa versione possono aspettare...da non credere non si smentiscono mai....:doh:

 

 

:thumbup:

[.Tigre.]

Ah già, sono convinti che tutti i clienti DCS hanno la fibra a 200M se non di più quindi scaricare versioni di DCS a uffa è come andare a fare la spesa, chi se ne frega di coloro che ancora hanno l' adsl magari neanche a 20M e ci impiegano secoli a scaricare decine di GB.....

[LowLee]

Lamentarsi perché il supporto/rilascio di moduli su una versione ALPHA non è garantito subito mi sembra eccessivo..

 

E poi se installi la openbeta avendo già l'openalpha la maggior parte dei file vengono copiati, solo ciò che manca viene scaricato, cioè poche manciate di giga ;)

 

 

 

Sulla connessione io non faccio testo, ieri mi sono sorbito 3 giga di aggiornamento a 100kb/s :D

[Conroy]

Infatti ma non c'è solo l'AV8B.

Dopo due anni dal rilascio e molti mesi di difficile attesa, ci ritroviamo con il M2000C di nuovo pieno zeppo di bugs nelle textures, cockpit incluso. Hanno ottimizzato i "triangoli" ma si sono evidentmente scordati di rimapparli.

 

No problem, sarà per il prossimo update. Siamo pazienti.

Ognuno giustamente ha le sue opinioni, ad ogni modo lasciamo perdere, installo anche la 1.5.8 scaricando i giga che servono e vediamo com'è questo Harrier....

Dear all,

 

Many thanks for the constructive feedback on the new protection system. It’s essential for us to create the best DCS World experience possible and world class copy protection is important. We have been reading your comments and of particular note is your concern for the three day time frame within which a verification check needs to be completed. We will be carefully considering this and trying to find the best balance of a great DCS World experience for you while successfully protecting our IP. We take this very seriously and should have some feedback for you next week.

 

For the sake of clarity, this new system (currently only being used for the AV-8B), requires that each time you log into DCS World, the authorization for the module is extended (currently three days). It would only expire after not logging into DCS World for over three days. If you were to go on vacation for example and not be able to log into DCS World for greater than three days, then that is still okay. Upon your return, say three weeks later, you would log into DCS World and the module(s) would be re-authorized. The only complication arises if you are trying to play DCS World with no internet connection for greater than three days. This is the topic we will be re-evaluating. We hope this all makes better sense now.

 

Thanks,

Wags

Ma quindi alla fine la Tarawa fa parte del modulo, non l'han fatta modulo a pagamento a parte? Very strange

[.Tigre.]

Si confermo, la portaerei classe Tarawa è parte integrante del modulo e non si può comprare a parte, peraltro anche se l' avessero fatta come addon a pagamento resta sempre il discorso dell' utilizzo che, non essendo una portaerei classica, rimane a mio avviso limitato appunto all' Harrier e agli elicotteri, certamente non per i velivoli tradizionali...

 

:thumbup:

[chromium]

A me risulta sia a parte la portaerei che sta sviluppando l'ED per l'F-18, questa è sempre stata dichiarata inclusa. O mi ricordo male?

[Viper79]

Sinceramente non mi ricordo tra le cose che dite e quelle ufficiali a volte mi confondo, chissà poi perchè :P

[chromium]

Beh la soluzione è semplice. Cerca i post di phant. Lui riporta quasi esclusivamente info ufficiali.

[phant]

 

Ma quindi alla fine la Tarawa fa parte del modulo, non l'han fatta modulo a pagamento a parte? Very strange

 

Non mi risultano indicazioni concrete che facessero pensare il contrario.

 

Tarawa a parte, sono stati mostrati (da RAZBAM) diversi modelli 3D di imbarcazioni di varia natura: non escluderei a priori un sorta di futuro Asset Pack dedicato ma, anche in questo caso, rimangono speculazioni (ergo nessuna indicazione ufficiale ad oggi).

[.Tigre.]

Dear all,

 

As mentioned earlier, I wanted to bring you some news on this subject by week’s end. Over the past week we’ve been discussing this matter in-depth to find the best compromise of making the protection as unobtrusive as possible, while at the same time protecting our property from theft. It’s safe to say that we will be making some changes, but they are not final and we’d like to postpone announcing them until we are sure of them.

 

Once we have finalized our keyless protection plans, we promise to inform you.

 

Thanks

DCS World 2.2 Now Available

Version 2.2 of DCS World released!

The primary features of this update are the addition of the AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL and the P-51D Mustang: Charnwood Campaign to DCS World 2.

 

You can find the complete change log here.

 

P-51D Mustang: Charnwood Campaign Available

Created by the same team behind the Spitfire LF Mk.IX: Epsom Campaign, the Charnwood Campaign is a historically-based campaign for the P-51D Mustang over Normandy in July 1944. The Charnwood campaign reproduces P-51D missions flown in support of the allied breakout of Normandy and the eventual capture of Caen. Given the Mustang’s combination of air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities (bombs and rockets), this campaign offers a wealth of mission types and challenges. Each mission is based on real missions, down to the weather, mission times, squadrons, mission tasks, and allied and axis locations.

 

 

Key Features:

• 12 historic missions taken from detailed accounts of Operation Charnwood
  
• Detailed briefing and briefing images, including separate PDF mission files
  
• Unique kneeboard graphics for each mission
  
• Hundreds of specially recorded voice-over messages to recreate the actual callsigns and accents
  
• A wide array of missions included armed reconnaissance, rail interdiction, and ground attack
  
• Takes advantage of new AI features like Flak avoidance, authentic formations, and improve artificial intelligence for air and ground units
  

 

See in the Campaign section of the DCS e-shop.

 

DCS: AV-8B Night Attack Update

Last week, we and RAZBAM released DCS: AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL with a great reception! We are all ecstatic about the overwhelming positive response! We and RAZBAM released a “hot fix” shortly after release that addressed a few pressing bugs. In the coming weeks and months, we and RAZBAM will be working hard to bring the AV-8B out of Early Access and on to Steam.

Thanks to all the Youtubers for supporting us!

 

Mi-8MTV2: Oilfield Campaign Available on Steam

The Mi-8MTV2: Oilfield Campaign is now available on Steam! This great campaign requires the DCS: Mi-8MTV2.

 

 

Life in civil aviation is far removed from dangers of military conflict. Instead, it’s based on strict time tables and lunch breaks. Meet a group of old friends: captain Jury Maksimovich Protasov and his Mi-8MTV2 crew. After the events of the "Spring Tension" conflict, they are again in business together. However, this time they are gainfully employed as cargo transportation contractors, serving the interests of the oil industry.

 

Rather than combat, this campaign will test your knowledge of the Mi-8MTV2 navigation suite in order to locate oil derricks scattered over the forests. Challenge yourself as a cargo pilot and never have to worry about being shot at again!

 

Features:

• Based on a real-life helicopter pilot missions
  
• 16 full-scale missions
  
• Various cargos and mission task situations
  
• Landing in a different locations and weather conditions
  
• Over 350 scripted radio messages

A chi interessa, posto la differenza della nuova e della vecchia versione [DCS 2.2.0.12448 - DCS 2.1.1.11762.287] :

 

Scie missili, flares e guns.

E' cambiata anche la GUI per quanto riguarda la gestione dei moduli e scenari, adesso si possono disattivare con un cursore dedicato.
