1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted October 1, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 The Mossie is now in Stable Release Branch! Channel Map winter textures and additional landmarks plus a plethora of other additional features and fixes for F-16, F/A-18, F-14 and others: Quote Introducing DCS: Mosquito FB VI in the Early Access now!. Read FAQ here. Added a new feature into the payloads panel in the mission editor: Loadout per pylon restriction.The main goal for this feature is to give mission designers more tools to control their mission environment in multiplayer. It will allow the ability to restrict any weapon or other store for a specific pylon on the MP aircraft slot. Feature is WIP and we will adjust and add more functionality to it. Added a new feature into the campaign window: Skip and refly options. Overview here. DCS World Added: H-6J Chinese strategic bomber and KD-20/KD-63/YJ-12 missiles. Added a Syrian version SA-5 (S-200) with a 3D-radar ST-68U, TIR and launchers. Adjusted LS-6 warhead power. Adjusted simulation of post-penetration physics for delayed-fuze bombs. They will now penetrate the ground and objects, and they will decelerate accordingly. Known issue: low impact velocity bombs with long fuze delays might “hang” in the air after penetrating an object. Improved MIM-72G missile performance: increased autopilot response, improved engine parameters, reduced smoke opacity, and added the proximity fuze. Trains now appear in MP games. Fixed the ZTZ96B and ZBD04A commander panoramic sights. Fixed dedicated server crash Fixed uncontrolled AI aircraft being unable to take off after another AI aircraft lands. ME. Removed pylons will no longer be listed as weapons in the briefing. ME. Scripting. Fixed the scripting function coalition.addStaticObject not being synced with connected clients to a server. Fixed cockpit crash connected with game tactical radar. Fixed no weapons list in the Rearm menu. ME. Added NAVAID panel in ME. Added. Refly and skip mission options to campaign engine. AI aircraft.

Indication of the radar and launcher sector coverage has been added. Added a view for trains set through the mission editor - CTRL-F12. AI aircraft. Bingo state does not consider new carrier recovery time - corrected. AI airports. The ATC will not switch to another runway independent from the landing aids when changing the wind direction.

Correct FCR and HSD Symbols When an AIM-120 is launched on a target, a rectangular "tail" appears at the back of the symbol. When the missile time switches from A (time to active) to T (time to impact), the tail flashes. When the Time to Impact (T) time reaches 0, a red X is drawn through the symbol and the tail continues to flash. The X remains solid for 13 seconds and the flash for 5 seconds before being removed after T=0. Added MGRS Option from Steerpoint page for Steerpoints 21 to 25. The selection of MAN/AUTO Steerpoint sequencing has also been adjusted. Video. Added missing Closure Rate from FCR page.

(Petrovich will react to airframe oscillations and turns more precisely) Petrovich AI Target acquisition code refactoring (Petrovich now will not acquire targets in the night or dark enough environment. Petrovich will see targets in dark environments if illumination flares are used. Petrovich will see targets behind some obstructions that were blocking acquisition before but geometrically were not covering the target.). Known issue: in some specific relatively good light conditions Petrovich acquiring targets too close. Adjustments WIP. Petrovich AI additional separate bindings for keyboard or joystick added for: Turn to sight heading, ATGM launch align maneuver, Evasion turn (180 degrees) Unguided rockets burst launch logic adjusted (If previous rockets burst was not fully launched before weap. release button was released, next burst will continue it and launch what was left from previous burst before starting cut for next one) 9A623K main cannon parameters adjusted for more muzzle velocity Added different variations of ammo belts for main cannon Added new external fuel tank model (PTB-450) Added key bindings for dust protection filters and moving map adjustment Added clickable areas for wheel brake and parking brake Added functionality for timer device in Pilot-Operator cockpit.

Petrovich AI, Target list logic addition, Petrovich will put a aiming device moving mark on the target that is currently highlighted in the list for more convenient target choice logic. Petrovich AI, Target acquisition improvement. Now the target can be partially closed by obstruction but if Petrovich sees a considerable part of the target chassis it will be detected. Petrovich AI, fix for incorrect prioritization of targets in target list order in some cases. Petrovich AI, Added ability to track air targets and guide ATGM for attacking them. (Mi-24 ATGM aiming device abilities against air targets is limited to certain speeds, do not expect good results against fast movers and even helicopters can evade this attack with evasive maneuvering). In the next update we are planning to tune it more and add customization options for mission editor to allow restriction of this ability.
