The ambient sounds are a surprise. Very nice!

[joey45]

Congrats to the Aussies for being in the DCS party....

Very nice Change Log.

 

What's broke with the SAS & EAC switches ?

[VIKBELL]

Did the interphone open the and key stroke f-8 start to work at any time on ground...

[Galwran]

The one that shows every activity in the mission in real-time, it is the ' key on my keyboard.

 

Nate

 

Any ideas why is it removed? It was really nice :cry:

Don't be cryptic, it is annoying, and helps nobody. What is the problem?

Now vertical scan is about to get broken as well. Where is the logic!!! Vertical scan should do it automatically, TWS manualy!!!

Could someone tell me plz why vertical scan in Su-27 will not lock automatically?

People complained about players being able to see what was going on in Multiplayer (it is still in Singleplayer).

Yes. I like that feature.

Hmmm, if you can get me some evidence for the auto lock in VS, I'll get them to change it.

lose Combat mode overrides all other modes. It uses a + 37º/ -13º fixed directly ahead vertical scan that is 6º wide (2 scan lines) with a 2.5 sec scan cycle and provides semiautomatic target acquisition. The closest target present in the scan area will be locked when pressing the lockon button without having to designate it. Close Combat mode can lockon from 450 m to 10km in range, and track a locked on target down to 250m. It is not slewable but fixed ahead only. Targets can be tracked in a closure rate range from +300 meters/second to -500 meters/second including co-speed targets. Lockon and transition to tracking mode takes 1-2 seconds in Close Combat mode

Does this mean I can switch VS on ad keep the lock switch depressed or do I have to tap the lock repeatedly?

Dosent sound logic at all AIM-9 autolock when it see heat-source, So should ET or give a tone that it tracks a target, EOS has more features them AIM-9 and ET together. Ill get back when I know more about it.

Instead of adding the debriefing screen to the FC users, they are removing it from all of us... :doh:

In my opinion it is good to know that you where shot down by a guy that launched 8 spamraams at you and you managed to avoid 7 of them. It was a plus that only DCS planes had (a10c, huey...) and it would be better to add it to FC planes, not take it out completely (the easy way):(

[hypersonik]

A-10C. SAS and EAC switches fixed.???????????????????

 

WHAT WAS BROKEN

 

 

....... do yu guys call the scoreboard DEBRIEFING ? i never seen single player like DB on MP

All Aircraft had it IIRC, you just needed to delete your old Keyboard.lua. Some Server owners/mission designers consider it cheating to have access to this info. Same way the messages at the top of the screen were removed.

No not the score board, the ingame Debriefing window (same window you get after leaving DCS.exe)

[NineLine]

Just guessing here, but I wondered if it caused issues with tracks and such, I know there is currently an issue with the Steam version that causes MP tracks not to work when playing on a non Steam server... maybe because of issues like this? Again just guessing... but could be in relation to something like that.

[Grim_Smiles]

Grats to the Aussies for getting added into DCS, I know those who have been requesting it will be very happy!:)

 

Looking forward to the new sounds and vapor/touchdown effects. Will definitely help with immersion.

Getting tired of myself but still...

 

Could we get some bug fixes to Black Shark for a change?

[Snoopy]

If I remember correctly if you turned EAC off it kicked off YAW SAS and it shouldn't.

Interesting.... boosting naval environment? shadows or first steeps to F-18C / CA: Navy?

 

-Added new anti-ship penetrating warhead for anti-ship missiles.

-Added exhaust smoke to Kusnetsov aircraft carrier.

-New ambient sound system (sea, shallow water, fields, wind, g-breath effect).

-ATC now available for the Kusnetsov aircraft carrier.

It was thought by server owners that somebody observing this info gained an unfair advantage over adversaries. I always thought it was nonsense myself.
