hey, looks like they also sneaked in that new informative interface on external screens we’ve been seeing in the streams lately
Oh that’s nice info, especially the heading. I’d like to see remaining fuel, too. Can you still cycle it off with LCntrl-Y?

so many changelogs around here 
Update 2 has arrived!
And for me, these two items are important:
- Missing rivets on right-side drag chute tube added.
- Missing screws on top-side wing fuel tank panels added.
Not really. I think this points out a characteristic of both the player base and the developers when this kind of detail is found and fixed. 
Enough diversion to poke fun at both the players and the developers. On to the list!
DCS World

- Crash when you try take control Su-25, without DRM protection activation is fixed.

Localization
-
RU localization updated
-
DE localization updated
-
Chinese localization added (WIP). There is still much to do.
Note: The Chinese localization is still WIP and a subject to change, so at the moment it has a number of issues with correct Chinese characters displaying. Some parts cannot be displayed in Chinese (now it’s a few elements of the CA interface as well as callsigns). We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Oo, want to see that Chinese Su-27!
The updater is trying out a new torrent method, with the update coming in at about 1 GB for the full module set. It may need some open-beta-y tweaking, but coming down slowly but surely. If you cancel the ‘Torrenting the update files…’ dialog it offers you the chance to all back to a straight HTTP method (which I think is throttled a bit).
Also watching out for the updated DCS World Steam build:
EDIT: Fiddling with it now, can’t seem to get the Customized Cockpit on the Su-27 to work with Chinese. Hmm, I wonder how (I tried the Options/Native Lang setting too, as well as the Special / FC3 bit).

“- Skin “US AirForce FU-178”, corrected tail number texture.”
I reported that one! That makes me feel all fuzzy.
I’m getting antsy waiting for this to go outta beta, normally I hop right on these betas but I just can’t justify the size of the dl for the amount of bugs its got… well… had lol
You’ve used 1.5 though right? That is definitely worth the update bandwidth over 1.2, at least to check out the new graphics render tech.
No I haven’t snagged it yet, I’m really excited about the new graphics they look amazing. Plus on a personal note the new flares look awesome, the ones we have now were such a step back in my opinion. But if I dl it now, in a month (probably) it’ll go prime time and ill be stuck downloading it again lol
1.5 uses Direct X 11 right?
It does. On a decent DX11 generate GPU, I’ve found you get about 3 times the frame rate on the same hardware - which really helps how fluid it feels to fly. A pretty big step up for sure.
Awesome!
