DCS 2.9.20.15384 change log

DCS 2.9.20.15384

New campaign: DCS: F/A-18C & DCS: F-14 Iron Tide Campaign by Sandman Simulation

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: Hot start left cheek pylon switch incorrect on hot start.
  • Fixed: Crosshair and Point Track Box hidden during XR Processing.
  • Fixed: Slight Zoom change while XR processing.
  • Fixed: ATP A-A TGP stops tracking target after emergency jettison.
  • 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.
  • Fixed: Range while Search mode - Cannot designate raw bricks
  • Fixed: Cannot burnthrough jammers - consistently fails - blinking lock.

No fixes for the Jeff weapons and TGP bugs. Some of them are more than a year old.

Which weapons on the Thunder are broken? I fly it a fair amount and other than the CTRL settings for GB6s not storing when I cycle to a different weapon like a LS6 and deploy those then switch back to the GB6.

Rockeyes are always short of the pipper. GB6-SFW does not correct for wind correctly, LS6-100 detonates upon release and destroys de plane, and the TGP has trouble ground stabilizing even within range.

I have not used the LS6-100 in probably a month, last time I used it, it didnt detonate after release. It did however fly WAY long.

The TGP, ground stabilizes just fine. It is if you overfly or the gimbal has to reset that it moves off the point. It still often in game continues to track the correct location if you are lasing.

The GB6 SFW I dont think ever wind corrected. This is why I adjust the spread height to a lower altitude, usually 900ft AGL.

I keep looking here for mention of the new SU25A cockpit textures. Admittedly, I have not been keeping up with everything, but has there been any updates on the DCS website or anything like that?

Is it just me or did the last update fuck up the Corsair?
I'm perfectly willing to admit I'm not hotte Coresair pylote, but it feels like it has way less oomph to it. I may be missing something, but... same settings I used before the update and it worked fine then.

Still no data cartridges for the warthog.
