DCS 2.5.5.41371 Open Beta

DCS World

• Corrected flight dynamics of AIM-120 missiles based on our latest CFD research. All changes increased the launch range by about 10-20%.
  AIM-120C got next changes:
  - Significantly reduced subsonic and transonic zero-lift drag.
  - Slightly increased of siupersonic zero-lift drag.
  - Reduced lift-induced drag.
  - Increased lift.
  AIM-120B got next changes:
  - Reduced lift-induced drag.
  - Increased lift.
  Both missiles received an updated calculation of thrust altitude dependency. Because of this, the thrust at altitude has become somewhat less, and the maximum speed is less.
• AI F-16C. Corrected landing gear compression on the ground.

DCS F-16C Viper by ED

• 3D cockpit model. Eliminated some gaps and stitches in the forward part of the cockpit.
• Increased length of afterburner effect, slightly decreased diameter.
• Corrected afterburner textures. WIP.
• Flashlight can be used without aircraft battery power.
• 3D model. Corrected wing flex animation with lights and pylons.
• Ground refueling fixed when battery is off
• AIM-9 Uncage Needed for Radar Slave - Fixed
• Sidewinder Seeker Diamond won't move to target - Fixed
• When the pylons are set to be removed in the Mission Editor, they missile rails still appear - Fixed

DCS A-10C Warthog by ED

DCS F/A-18C Hornet by ED

• Restored missing TWS L&S Data
• Corrected the heading vector of target tracks.

DCS AJS-37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations
