DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics

MSI progress:

The Radar Attack and AZ/EL pages display tracks originating from the MSI system. From these MSI tracks, the following types of tracks can be generated: LS, DT2, and TUC.

MSI tracks feature updated algorithms for ranking and memory management. Their display behavior depends on two factors:

  • the current memory state;
  • the source contribution.

Based on these factors, MSI tracks will show either the RMEM or MEM indicator and may exhibit partial or full HAFU flashing. Tracks with low priority are marked with a “+” symbol.

DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics

  • Fixed: AI CPG reports TADS UNAVAIL if TDU is set to OFF.
  • Fixed: Air Data Probe Animation is broken.

We are working on further improving the flight model and refining the FCR's Terrain Profile Mode (TPM). With regard to the core flight model within our internal development build, we've already made the following improvements after introducing a new main rotor simulation:

  • The exaggerated left yaw offset in forward flight has been reduced to a realistic magnitude.
  • The un-commanded left roll during cyclic push-overs in forward flight has been fixed.
  • Stabilator logic has been refined, resulting in improved pitch stability in forward flight.
  • Rotor disc tilt and rotor coning have been improved to a more realistic behavior.
  • Conservation of angular momentum effect from forward/aft cyclic inputs has been refined.
  • Transient torque effect from left/right cyclic inputs has been added.
  • Autorotation behavior has been improved to a more realistic state.
  • The drag profile more accurately accounts for external stores and the presence or absence of the FCR mast-mounted assembly. This has resulted in a 15% average increase in top speed.
  • Fuel flow values have been slightly reduced to a more realistic state.

Our current efforts consist of continued refinements to the SCAS logic (such as FMC-off flight) and tuning the induced flow effects through the main rotor to account for ground effect.

DCS: UH-1H Huey by Eagle Dynamics

  • Introduced a "Full Range Throttle Axis" special option. It comes with new keybinds and three different "Stop" button modes:

DCS Core

AI Aircraft

  • Takeoff procedure correction. Now the next AI aircraft waiting to take off permission to enter the runway is not based on the fact that the previous one has taken off, but based on its distance from the start point.
  • A-20G. Corrected 3D model dimensions
  • AI AV-8B problem with take off - fixed (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/379170-av8b-ai-will-not-take-off/)

Weapons

  • Kh-101 cruise missile. RCS reduced from 0.16 to 0.1 sq.m.
  • FAB family bombs. Default arm delay changed from maximum to minimum. This will reduce the number of bomb failures during low-altitude releases.
  • Fixed CTD caused launching missile far away of DLZ

DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum by Eagle Dynamics

  • Added: 3D model damage WIP (first iteration).
  • Added: Additional English HUD/HDD version (fictional for convenience).
  • Added: Provide lower resolution textures cockpit option.
  • Added: Controls Indicator overlay (RCTRL+ENTER).
  • Added: Autostop procedure.
  • Added: HUD repeater export.
  • Added: Single missions Georgia 2008.
  • Fixed: Crash on deactivation RSBN(or PRMG) car.
  • Fixed: The animations for the cannon trigger and the missile trigger to be swapped.
  • Fixed: Lock indication is not resetting after lock break. But logic is working correctly and radar stops locking.
  • FCR:
    • fixed STT extrapolation mode, lock is more stable now when target passes through notch,
    • adjusted radar sensitivity in close combat mode, lock range and it's probability became more accurate,
    • enabled sensitivity attenuation for CAJ mode (work in progress)
  • Fixed: Air intake louvers animation corrections.
  • Fixed: CHAFF/FLARE sequence corrections.
  • Fixed: When repairing after a wheels up landing, the repair completes, but the landing gear is not lowered, so after repair you are dropped back on your belly, negating the repair.
  • Fixed: IFF issues for clients connected to the mission hosted on a dedicated server. Single Player or Self-hosted servers do not have this issue.
  • Fixed: When using FCR, missile launch is not blocked in the absence of a LA signal on the HUD/HDD. The lock can be removed by setting the switch PREPARE MAN - AUTO  to the MAN position. We continue to work on this functionality. After all the work and testing is completed, we will write how it works.
  • Fixed: Route point arrows for Mig29 DTC don't work correctly in some cases.
  • Fixed: GUI Error when try to Import Mig29 DTC in some case.
  • Fixed: Part of drag chute stays attached behind aircraft under the ground after dropping chute.
  • Fixed: With broken retracted gear, the gear bay becomes transparent.
  • Fixed: Part of 3D Pilot model still showing when hidden.
  • Fixed: Synchronize external mirrors positions with internals.
  • Fixed: One of Circuit Breakers combinations produce electric power jittering.
  • Fixed: Padlock keys not working/
  • Fixed: Imperial units cockpit version IAS indicator animation issue with Mach number.
  • Fixed: Autostart fails at battery level stage.
  • Manual: The names of the bars on the instruments have been corrected, information about launching missiles in pairs has been added, and minor adjustments have been made based on comments received.
  • Fixed: Gear bays are closed after repair despite gear are lowered.
  • Fixed: No INS alignment after repair.

Post-Release points:

Known issue: Currently the HELMET COOP mode usage sequence has a bug if RADAR state was OFF, before mode was activated. As a workaround to correctly Lock a target using the radar as the supporting sensor in Сooperative mode (COOP), the radar must be on (ILLUM-DUMMY-OFF switch must be in the DUMMY position) BEFORE activating the IRST modes (IR, CC, HELMET, OPT). For this mode you need to also switch IRST modes using the CW CCW switch movement and not use the keys 3, 4, 5, or 6. Activating IRST modes using the keys does not ensure target lock by the radar as an additional channel in Сooperative mode. We plan to correct that for the next update.

DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics

  • Fixed: TNDL Transmit Power doesn't transfer correctly to the plane.
  • Fixed: Incorrect "spool down" sound on startup.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet by Eagle Dynamics 

  • Fixed crash in radar.
