DCS World 1.2.7 Released

[Ryback]

The performance in the 1.2.7 V2 beta was normal as always besides an odd mouse bug that was fixed rather quickly. Can't see how the official 1.2.7 can be any different performance wise.

 

Well i didn't download beta version that's why i can't know it :( Sorry.

How odd, not registering that there is an update for me, just launching the game.

No problem bud, if I had the final 1.2.7 installed I could give you a better answer then what I did :)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the 1.2.7 Openbeta installed parallel to 1.2.6 is now the new 1.2.7??

ED,

 

So many fixes, and a lot work put into this release . Great job and open beta is a great idea for these large updates. I would like to say thank you guys for all the hard work, keep it coming.

 

To bad I am work and will have to wait to update.

 

thanks

You are incorrect. Your 1.2.6 install will update to the new 1.2.7.

Don' know why is DL so slow. Only 50 KB/s.

Not really. You should keep the Openbeta installed on your PC and up to date (in this case download the Update 3 for the beta) as there will be future Beta tests.

(I'm still new to DCSW, so I"m learning as we go... now updating to that interim 1.26.9999xxx....) :)

maybe the servers are getting pounded.

maybe the servers are getting pounded.

 

This is why I always download the entire thing for major updates (well, one of the reasons). I already have the entire file set for World and all modules downloaded in less than 1 hour.

May have to leave work early today..... Cough-cough. :)

[trooph]

One question that remains... WHen we will be able to use our FC3 keys on STEAM? I really want to move to steam (faster dl speeds when updates are out and stuff...)

Yes and now the 1.2.7 Open Beta can become 1.2.8 Open Beta.

 

As for the change logs being identical between Open Beta and Final ... that is the nature of an Open Beta. You release, test, make fixes, and update the beta product. Once the beta product is stable you release that stable version as-is, without introducing any major additional changes between Stable Open Beta and Release. Then you move on to the next round of updates. A release patch change log is rarely much different from the most recent beta change log in any development environment I've ever dealt with.

 

Onward we go! :pilotfly:

No problems at all. I upgraded 1.2.6 first and beta 1.2.7 later. Now I have two 1.2.7 installations.

[FOXFIRE TWOONE]

1.2.7 All smiles so far

 

Much faster load time.

 

Love the way we are now able to select the different models.

 

No FP drop

I feel sort of bad.

 

I left my wingman using the low-quality fuel.

 

Now he has a giant smoketrail and my engines just put out cleaned and purified air.

 

 

 

Any way to activate enginesmoke for player-A10C?

[c0ff]

I find this extremely useful, don't knock it! :thumbup:

 

edit: yes like SyntaxError says if you need a complete clean install just run the repair.

 

Sounds like an upgrade bug.

[Netsk]

I do miss the engine smoke effects on the latest beta. I can't see them any more on the F15 and Su27.

 

They are not supposed to. They almost don't smoke IRL, only perhaps on engine load changes they make a 'puf'. Only a few DCS aircraft actually smoke visibly IRL, like MiG-29 and F-4.

[javelina1]

Don' know why is DL so slow. Only 50 KB/s.

 

I'm anywhere from 150 to 450 KB/s. almost halfway done with the update download. started about 40 minutes ago.

Anyone successful in using the files from V1.2.7 V3 open beta to bypass the 2GB update for V1.2.6?

Nice to see the 1.2.7 is out of beta. I thought it would be weeks away.

Thanks ED!

 

Anyway, I'm having some difficulties updating the thing.

I first ran the updater (as admin), it checked the installation then proceeded after a notification about the v1.2.6.9999… and I think I noticed a message about replacing the updater (I was away from the screen). It seems it replaced the updater and then nothing else happened.

 

I restarted the updater shortcut several times but it just displays «Checking for updates…» and disappears.

 

May the servers be busy? Or perhaps I've done too many requests and my IP is blocked and queued for a specific time?

 

Any idea guys? Thanks and have fun with the improvements!
