DCS 2.8

Word is the sabre and F5 radar gunsights got fixed, are they? And how’s the gaz? And the huey, did that get any love?

I see Sabre and F-5E radar gunsight in the list, as well as AIM-54 loft and notch improvements. A very good day for the Virtual Iranian Air Force.

Gazelle looks promising, will try it out tonight. Last version could barely take off in Nevada, hope that has been tuned back a bit

Very interested in all the improvements to the Syria map, the new night lighting and performance based upgrades sound fantastic!

DCS definitely loads faster but seems missions still take the same amount of time.

Night lighting on Syria looks amazing! The new hangers look really good too. Performance seems like its the best I’ve had since the map came out.

Ayyyyy always a patch when I’m sitting on replay tracks for video footage. Need to get that recording done so I can try out Syria’s night lighting!

Between the S Atlantic and Syria updates my patch was 31GB DLd expanded to over 50. Not a tiny patch!

It does fly a lot better in Nevada. Starting with 100% fuel and >90% of MTOW to do a “race” at 1500 m altitude is not really a sensible Instant Action scenario of course, and there’s not really any wiggle room, but at least the helicopter flies using ground effect now, and does not require scraping the skids just to get airborne at 100% torque.

Collective response still isn’t as snappy as in the Huey but it might be a bit better now. Could also just be the increased power that I’m feeling.

This gets my Worthless Amateur™ seal of approval!

This Open Beta build seems remarkably better for me particularly in The MT version.
I was getting a lot of micro stuttering and freezing……but this version seems very smooth…especially in VR.

Slightly strange question, is there any way to copy a set of lat-long co-ordinates from the F10 map to the Knee board … if there isn’t this would be a great addition to have for VR players.

I use this, if you set a markpoint on the F10 map you can copy it to the scratch pad

Just flew the new patch. Performance seems a tad bit better. Syria looks amazing at dusk and night. Mudhen’s takeoff behavior and crosswind behavior feels way more tame now too.

just managed to have a bit of a fly round and test …the performance hit after going to the F10 map seems to have been fixed and i am getting a nice smooth 36fps in most areas, even flying over heavy cities (might have been Aleppo and possibly in a gazelle :laughing:)

Speaking of the Gaz, I had a little fly with it, and it seemed quite alright to me. I managed to kill myself easily, but it also felt like a quick and powerful helicopter. I’d say they’re there with its FM.

What would you say @smokinhole ?

I just had a quick blast on the Sinai … doing an anti bridge strike …well they certainly know how to build bridges … I hit one bridge near giza with 2 laser mav’s and 4 500lb lgb and it still had traffic going over it :rofl:

I mean it’s a Maverick … It probably won’t do much against a Bridge
