Looking over the Syria map, I am going to need to spend some time helo-touring to see all the new sites. Very impressive additions.

Man it is a good looking map. When my chief complaint is that the zero gravity swing in the theme park doesn’t seem to be animated, and I think they are re-using the roller coaster art assets, you know they hit a home run.

Took the CH-47 for a bit of a spin last night. The working FD is nice, need to play with it more to figure it all out. The hover and ground track mode are excellent, but honestly take some of the fun out of it. I haven’t seen what all the limits are, but I figure the 30+ knot winds in the SA will probably answer that question in due time.

Can’t buy anything except for a few modules that I have no interest in. Day is ruined :sweat_smile:

DCS 2.9.27.25183.5

DCS Core

Cargo

  • Cargo spawned on ships cannot be unloaded - Fixed.
  • Unloaded crates disappear instantly when dropped on ships - Fixed.

Weapons

  • AIM-7M/MH switched to a new scheme with updated SARH seeker (same modeling level as we have in R-27), advanced filtering and seeker gimbal mechanical model, realistic English Bias modeling.
  • R-27R/ER readjusted guidance filter, added TTH-dependent angle gating.
  • R-27R/ER, AIM-7M/MH. Introduced real-time glint noise based on actual target size. The glint noise (angular RF noise of the target’s airframe) causes the missile to dart between the reflection peaks and can lead to a miss.
  • R-27R/ER, AIM-7M/MH. Fixed issue with ECM tracking by semiactive seeker block.
  • CBU-97 miss target - fixed.

DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics

  • Fixed: AIM-120 launches causes AACQ auto-STT every time like AIM-7s.

  • Fix crash with some knobs CW or CCW command.
  • Fix crash with checklist refresh before procedure is selected.
  • Fix crash with spawning on an object with no model.
  • Fix jet computer axis hang (and other bugs with jet computer controls).

  • Fix anti-ice not functioning.
  • Added force feedback sliders for each of the force feedback components.
  • Changed force feedback enable to special options to prevent confusion with dcs ffb enabled by default.
  • Reduce flap damage safety margin.
  • Adjust flap drag.
  • Fix Special Options Strike Camera Disable not working.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges

  • Fixed missing cockpit sounds: alarm sounds, fuel counter and afterburner ‘click’ sounds, clickability sounds, etc.
