DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges

FM and flight controls:

• Corrected roll moment appearing when all bombs are dropped from AUF-2 pylon.
• Decreased rudder roll authority.
• Decreased pitch authority.
• Decreased AMEDEE internal curve.
• Changed pitch trim proportionality between 'up' and 'down' regions.
• Updated the logic of 'Extra backwards stick travel' mode special option.

Systems/cockpit:

• Implemented '(C+M or SW)R' button logic in 'TL' or 'BZ' auto acquisition radar modes. The logic:
  • 1st button press enables '(C+M or SW)R' mode.
  • With '(C+M or SW)R' mode enabled, and no radar track, the automatic lock will be inhibited until the button is released.
  • With '(C+M or SW)R' mode enabled, and a target tracked, the button release will break target lock, and will restart search.
  • Depending of the time the button was held pressed:
    • Less than 0.3 seconds - the radar will start the search 150 m ahead of the previous target range.
    • 0.3 to 0.8 seconds - 1) in 'TL' mode the radar will do the same (start the search 150 m ahead); 2) in 'BZ' mode the radar will start the search from the scan area center at the nearest elevation bar to the previous target.
    •  More than 0.8 seconds - the radar will restart search normally.
• '(C+M or SW)R' button now will not have any effect if pressed with Master Arm in OFF. Before when (C + M or SW)R button was pressed with Master Arm being OFF, the mode became active once Master Arm was switched ON.
• IDN knob rotation was fixed in F1BE
• Fixed rotation of altimeter Kollsman window and IDN knob.
• NWS steering high sensitivity magnetic hold button now deenergizes with NWS on/off switch.
• Fixed IDN TACAN distance display counter - the maximum displayed value previously was limited to 300 NM.
• Fixed A/A TACAN mode. Now it is transmit/receive mode (previously it was receive only).
• Fixed combat flaps not resetting after a new mission start.
• Increased randomness for engine fire behavior and evolution.

Payloads:

• Fixed GBU-12 not following laser spot when launched from AUF2 rack.
• Restored CLB4 SAMP400 HD and LD.
• Added GBU-16 for central station and GBU-12 for outer stations.

Sounds:

• Reduced trim hat sound gain.
• Adjusted trim hydraulic sound gains.
• Pitch trim hydraulics sound is correctly looped now.

Misc:

• Updated ES Flight Manual.
• Added liveries for missing countries.
• Fixed refueling light being always on.

• Improved LODs (WIP).

• New Multiplayer “Select Role” interface added to enhance respawn functionality with additional information and the ability to see exact respawn locations on the map and interact with them. Note that spawn locations icons are aggregated based on the map zoom level. A “Server” tab has been added in the briefing images panel in the Mission Editor. This allows you to add an image as a header to the first screen that the connected player sees before joining a coalition. We will monitor feedback for future adjustments and additional features.
• New Dynamic Respawn slots system has been added that allows mission designers to set up airfields serving any aircraft respawn its associated warehouse without the need of specific placement in the editor. Airfields with active dynamic spawns are specifically marked on the map with a hexagon icon. Parking spots are assigned automatically on a respawn request. We are coordinating with MOOSE, MIST and CTLD developers for supporting these new spawn methods in their scripts (Thank you Pikey, funkyfranky, Grimes, and Ciribob). Additionally, a specific dynamic spawns template system was added to customise dynamic slots properties and restrictions. Detailed description here

Known issues:

• Important: Due to capitalization changes not propagating properly at times, the "\...\sdef\Jester\contacts" folder is named incorrectly, which will cause none of the essential JESTER calls from that folder to be played. Our sincere apologies. This will be fixed in the coming patch properly, however in the meantime you can apply an easy fix yourself, if you please, after finishing the update:
  • STANDALONE USERS: Either delete the "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\f4e\Sounds\sdef\Jester\contacts" folder and run a DCS repair, and it will get restored correctly by DCS or manually rename it to use a capital C.
  • STEAM USERS: Manually rename it from "\...\sdef\Jester\contacts" to "\...\sdef\Jester\Contacts" (simply with a capital "C" instead).
• Note: Deleting the folder and running a repair only works for the DCS standalone version. Steam users need to rename the folder manually, please. Manually renaming the folder works for both versions.
• Sedlo's "Have Doughnut" instant action mission has been fixed based on recent user feedback, but could not be included with this patch anymore. If you like, you can download it and replace the one in: "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\f4e\Missions\Quickstart".
