1.2.6.18651.276 DCS Update

[NineLine]

Just hosted an online session, 2+ hours of trouble-free flying :thumbup: Although it has to be said that there were only 2 participants altogether, i.e. me and a squad mate running some Mustang and Huey training missions. But ground units aplenty still, so it wasn't as if the map was barren or anything.

 

And oh yeah, seems more fluid somehow too, no stuttering at all that I noticed. Looks a winner to me :thumbup:

 

 

Thanks for the post, keep us updated...

[Pepec9124]

you forgot the SAS switches too seem stable to me.

the only thing I noticed is the betty goes crazy when I spawn into the cockpit, and the AoA and landing indicators are jumping all over the place.:thumbup:

 

Betty going crazy on spawn with 0 speed was there since first 1.2.6.

PAC is not as good as in C but is quite good actually.

PAC is not as good as in C but is quite good actually.

 

PAC was part of the -1 upgrade, not necessarily only in the Charlie PE upgrade. There shouldn't be a difference since the system is fundamentally the same. Unless they updated some of the rate control logic in the PAC autopilot.

Can anyone tell me the size of this update?

I'm having not the fastest i-Net, so size matters a lot for me.

I would appreciate if the download size can be mentioned in the Changelog.

Thanks.

I'm wanting the turbine fans to rotate/function on the F-15C

It all depends on your purchases.

Thanks for the post, keep us updated...

 

Yeah, we both updated the sim at the same time and I then hosted a bunch of missions both handmade and autogenerated with edits. Those all ran without hiccups, although we're only flying the Huey & the Stang at the moment so cannot comment on anything else just yet. Anyway, no problems whatsoever so far - knock on wood though...

 

My network speed is on ADSL 1024 and we both rebooted our computers after patching. And I dunno, nothing further to report at this point? Seems to run OK for me at any rate FWIW :)

I mean in-game but thanks for more info about Hog :smilewink:

 

Edit. I'm back to Windows 8, this time I want to stay for longer than three months. I'm going to test A-10A update. Some MP testing too.

Another thing to keep in mind...when ED build these updates, they don't have shoulder mods running, tinted glass mods, this skin, that skin, this mod, that mod etc etc.

 

Nearly every update I've installed has worked fine, but then I rarely allow mods on my system.

 

Just sayin :D

More than one installation is the answer.

 

Edit. No switches are on for me except EAC Master Arm and SAS (4 buttons on left console).

Fixed IR pointer when using Combined Arms

 

YEA!!!!

[LexiconG2]

They still have not fixed explosions. Cluster bombs, the combat environment does not need to run slow like that for any reason. I am starting to think ED does not know how to fix this issue. It's just a bug that has been in DCS World 100% of the time since it was released. So if we can get to EDGE I am hoping that this new engine will fix that issue because it sucks and it's stupid.

660mb. Are the patch notes missing something? :wallbash:

[Lusik]

I'm taking a risk and updating now. It kicked me out of 3 servers in a row three days ago. I know ED want's to improve this but it is such a complex simulator that it is hard to blame them. Hopefully things will improve with EDGE. 1104 MB.

DCS: A-10C Warthog

Fixed tanker not completing refueling when in network play.

 

Tested by a team mate tonight, result: Not fixed.

[HiJack]

yes PAC is working.

Yes, PAC is working just great! AGM65D works also the way it should, finaly!

[104th_Maverick]

Tested by a team mate tonight, result: Not fixed.

 

Thanks, will get one of our A-10 guys on it straight away!

[Spetz]

So the IR has been fixed for CA, but does it work for the A10c? Texture was missing before..haven't downloaded yet..

Finally, you guys dropped 32 bits support.:thumbup:

 

Best news so far.

 

Also been able to fly online for over 3 hrs without crashes.

(was some warping after mission rotation, solved when user exited and relaunched the game)

A bit more details regarding the tanker, I've just tested it with a few mates on the STP server. It connects only for a second and then gives a message "Refueling complet". I know you are checking this but I hope any detail may be helpful.
