DCS Update
Summary
DCS Core
Some AI flight models such as the B-1B saw improved taxi and takeoff rotation characteristics, and both the B-1B and B-52H received more realistic long-range strike mission payloads. Mission builders may notice new and improved tool-tips and stability fixes, while mission creators receive enhanced a_do_script and a_do_file calls that pass arguments and return values. Spotting dots have been improved, voice-chat crashes have been stamped out, and we corrected warhead modelling for Mk-80 (and related GBUs) and M117 series of bombs that deliver a greater punch.
Eagle Dynamics modules
The DCS: F-16C Viper now features our first iteration of the AN/AAQ-33 Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP), and will exit early access following the end of the sale. Based on its roadmap, all planned early access features have now been delivered, but it will continue to be supported with additional features; the towed decoy, improved data modem, radar warning receiver handoff mode, and continued data transfer cartridge work. This is in parallel with continued bug fixing and tuning. We also recognize that there are some additional features that some customers desire, but those fall outside the stated scope of the product or would be inaccurate.
The DCS: F/A-18C boasts the new Terrain Avoidance (TA) radar mode. For our helicopter buffs, the DCS: AH-64D now offers more advanced George AI Co-Pilot Gunner Commands! The DCS: Black Shark 3 includes new Instant Action missions for the Iraq map.
Third Party modules
The recently launched DCS: F4U-1D Corsair by Magnitude has received an impressive follow up with new art and Mission Editor functionality. The DCS: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior by Polychop received attention too and the DCS: JF-17 Thunder by Deka Ironworks got some needed fixes as well. Additionally, the DCS: Cold War Germany map by Ugra got its long awaited improved destruction models and Phase 1 enhancements!
