MACADEMIC Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Just wondering why the update discussions has been merged together and placed in the 'Chit-Chat' area (= 'what relates but does not belong')? Somehow gives the impression that community reactions to news updates are rather unimportant and perhaps unwanted. Honestly don't think this is the intention or the best way of doing it. Suggestion: make an 'Official Updates Discussions' Subforum in the News section, right between the 'Offical Updates' and 'Community News' sections. Restrict topic creation to mods there. In addition to his Friday Updates, Wags could start a discussions thread there, quoting the News Update and linking to it. Same way Wags could include a link to the discussion thread at the end of the news update. It's successfully done in a very similar way on other forums. Just my 2c! MAC
Night Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I am very interested in hearing more details about the missile changes for the R-77 and ET, would someone be able to go in to more detail on what exactly is changed or if someone has a link for more detailed explanation? R-27ET: Decreased rear hemisphere DLZ. R-73: Corrected mass and thrust. R-77: Corrected time, fuel flow and thrust. SA-8 Osa: Increased range at low altitude from 6 to 8 km. Corrected the lock on range of IR missiles. For "corrected the lock on range of IR missiles", has the range been lowered or raised? Right now I am lucky to get launch authorization on an ET at Rtr.

kk0425 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 New ambient sound system (sea, shallow water, fields, wind, g-breath effect). Wind + turbulence sound depends on mission weather parameters. New wingtip vortices, new touchdown smoke. F-15C: Fixed altitude hold when air to air refueling. AWACS: Decreased the answer pause between picture requests. The engines will start after repair. These are probably the most exciting to me. But I'm a bit confused on this fix: A-10C. SAS and EAC switches fixed. What was wrong with them before?
Mike Busutil Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I would like to see the Wind Turbulence also applied when flying into jet wash or rotor wash... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Checkout my user files here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-Mike Busutil/apply/
kk0425 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Isn't that working for the huey? I've had it where one flew over me and mine got pushed around a bit.
Snoopy Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 What was wrong with them before? If I remember correctly when you turn off EAC it kicked off YAW SAS which isn't correct. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
kk0425 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Oh I see. Always thought it was normal since it turns off pitch lol.
Feuerfalke Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 It's a shame that the heaters always wrecking all the fun. A shame, we look forward to monthly updates. I doubt the "heaters" were the reason. There's simply much more to tell on a monthly basis than on a weekly. "Hey, we edited 215 lines of code this week" is simply more cheesy than a 3 pages long changelist, new model-pictures and stuff like that. But you simply can't deliver these goodies on a weekly basis. I still hope we see updates on an irregular basis, like when milestones are reached, new models are ready or stuff like that. It's just the friday-regularity that was ended. We'll see how they will handle it from now on.

MACADEMIC Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 First sentence from today's update.... Oh, missed that piece of information. Entirely disagree with you that the updates weren't needed (consequently should not be missed in the future). Active community interaction is the living heartbeat of game development. Seems like a step backwards to me. :( MAC
zaelu Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I agree with Macademic. And the first sentence wasn't from the start there because I copied the entire Wags post when he posted and place it on our squad forum in updates section and that quote doesn't have that phrase.

*Rage* Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 It says in MIG-29 manual that you need to hold the lock button in vertical scan until the target is locked, when target is locked the lock button can be realised. The vertical scan in FC3 will keeps its effectiveness If it is intended to be like it say in the MIG-29 manul. I hope we will not have to realise the button to get a lock, that will be wrong!!! http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1853128&postcount=763 Many thanks.
