DCS 2.5 Update Thread (2020)

UK perhaps, but not on this side of the pond.

The new map is 50Gb :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Well I got both systems updated.
The dedicated server only requires half the data (25GB) for the map.

So my router is going to show a near 100GB total download today, I’ll have to check that later.

…and there was MUCH rejoicing!

(I actually sang a little, chorus of angles singing "aaha-Ahhhhh–ahhh-aahhhh" when I read that…and scared one of my cats. :grimacing:)

issue here is that everyone would lose their minds if a patch went live and the notes didnt show up till a few hours later
“WHERES THE CHANGE LOGS” “WHERES THE NOTES”, etc etc.

updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com will show the version live on the CDN Update server.

Updater App is 2 updates behind current :stuck_out_tongue:

Working fine, looking good :slight_smile:
Did only a quick test with a game pad in good ole 2D, because I had no time to setup HOTAS and Oculus.

Disappointing though:
Only the F14 seems to have instant Action missions for the new map.
F16 nothing
F18 nothing
All other planes I own - nothing.

I mean how long does it take to throw a plane in the air somewhere, Free Flight Mission done.

As I did not want to take the tomcat for some reason (now that I am writing this, I actually ask myself, ok why :joy:), I created my own…

So… Pretty much the same as yesterday… :smiley:

Is really easy. Done one myself. Perhaps in next update every machine will have insta’s.

I know but with all the humidity this summer I have neglected my flight sims and associated software (the rift turns into a sauna)
Instead it has been Rising storm Veetnam for my online pursuits with realistic conditions :sweat_smile:

Oh and Syria is beautiful with good optimisation for my set up better than the Channel map on release :smiley:
