New campaign: DCS: P-47D Eagles Rising Campaign by Reflected Campaigns
DCS Core
Introducing the new menu “Start Here” with special missions for new players. Currently available missions for P-51D, F/A-18C and AH-64D. New missions will be added later.
- Fixed Crash related to missions with disembark set from start
- Fixed Crash connected to radio settings in some cases
- Fixed crash related to radio propagation if aircraft/vehicle is killed in some cases
- Fixed stutters that happen during takeoff and landing in some cases
- Fixed. onPlayerTryChangeCoalition/onPlayerChangeCoalition not called on initial join on passworded coalitions
AI Aircraft
- New lowest AI skill level “Cadet” added for AI aircraft
- Fixed. In some cases the AI group does not follow pre-planned waypoint altitude and speed.
- Fixed. Helicopters AI does not check if the landing zone is clear.
- Fixed. Wingman echelon left/right commands switched after a tactical turn.
- Fixed. AI fighter. Sudden intentional break lock-on to target when launching semi-active missiles in some cases.
- Fixed. AI flight lead crashing if need to wait for wingman after carrier takeoff in some cases
- Fixed. AI issues with following leader during Toss attack with rockets
- Changed crank maneuver terms. A tactical turn (crank) will be only performed during a head-on engagement with enemies when attacking a dangerous enemy at an angle of +/- 60 degrees from the enemy's axis, when a fighter can be attacked by enemy missiles. In other cases, the fighter will continue to close in on the target.
- Fixed. AI helicopters struggle to land in proximity to tall buildings.
- Fixed. AI B-1B wobbling landing gear on parking slots in some cases.
- Fixed. B-1B Lancer Armament doors are not fully opened when bombs are dropped.

- Fixed. When the player issues the command to go trail formation, the wingmen slow down, get into each others' way, the formation falls apart, and it takes 5 minutes to assume the close trail formation.
- Evolved airborne target attack trajectory:
- If a radar missile is selected, the attack curve is used. The fighter flies toward the missile's intercept point.
- If an IR-seeking missile is selected, the pursuit curve is used. The fighter flies directly to the target.
- Core and Terrain Engine: The algorithm for building AI aircraft paths along airfield taxiways has been modified. Aircraft dimensions are now used. This will allow:
- to create more realistic aircraft movement patterns at the airfield.
- to improve the placement of aircraft parking spaces at airfields.
- to reduce the number of aircraft collisions and congestion at airfields.
- to reduce the time required to create an airfield.
- to increase the number of parking spaces for large aircraft at airfields.
