However, the Mossie pouring vapour at take-off like an express steam locomotive getting a heavy train moving is now fixed apparently, so lose some, win some I guess.... 

 

Plus extra goodies and fixes for the premier fast jets, the Apache and - FT will be pleased - the I-16.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet by Eagle Dynamics

Note 1: Please note that the TALD used by the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet is different from the one developed by Heatblur for their F-14. Heatblur will be using the TALD developed for the Hornet, but this task was not complete in time for this Open Beta, but it should be available for the following.

Note 2: We are nearing completion of the F-16C flight model and FLCS adjustments, and following this, the Hornet will get the same flight model and FCS review. This is one of the primary remaining items on the Hornet’s roadmap. The team also continues work on the UFC BackUp page, and GPS-guided weapon updates. Please see the Hornet roadmap here.

DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics

  • Added Manual (MAN) bombing mode.
  • Added FIX DED Page
  • Fixed: Unknown ('U') HTS label on WPN page for some threats
  • Fixed: Users report PDLT cycle stops working after a while
  • Fixed: After setting the PDLT and then designating the same target on radar and radar undesignating, you can no longer set that target as the PDLT
  • Fixed: Target altitude number copied and stuck in some cases when switching from RWS to TWS
  • Fixed: TGP CZ logic is broken if OA is selected
  • Fixed: TMS Aft on HSD PDLT logic is not correct
  • Fixed: TTI missing from TGP for GBU
  • Fixed: Maverick Scale remains on HUD
  • Fixed: Check stability when airspeed at 300kts in aar gains
  • Fixed: Backflips after deep stall recovery with using MPO

Note: Next priority items include finalising the Max Toss Anticipation Cue, update to the external and cockpit models, Mk-84AIR high drag bomb, LADD bombing mode, the FCS BIT with control surface animations, air show smoke pods, and more. Please see our roadmap here: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/278635-dcs-f-16c-viper-roadmap/

We have also defined the planned Viper features before it exits early access. Please note that development will continue based on the roadmap linked above. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/206282-subject-to-change-desired-f-16c-systems-and-payloads-for-early-access/

DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics

  • Improved :
    • SCAS behavior.
    • LMC Control.
    • When any of the ENG, FLT, FUEL, PERF, or UTIL pages is selected via the MENU page or by using the Favorites function, that page becomes the originator page for the remainder of the AIRCRAFT pages.
    • The Torque readout in the HDU symbology should become boxed at 98%
    • The NVS Sensor Select switch should only be functional in NORM or FIXED mode
    • After blanking above 200 feet, the radar altimeter tape should come back on 180 feet
    • Cued LOS Dot should always be displayed
    • FPV, Head Tracker, Cued LOS, except Bob-Up Box should disappear outside of the safe zone
    • The grayscale image currently displays an opaque white overlay
    • MPD in MONO mode overrides color of the symbology or white video underlay
    • Video underlay showing TADS should also show the TADS LOS crosshairs
    • With PNV selected, TDU FLIR will always be the currently selected NVS FLIR sensor for the Pilot
    • Flight symbology on an MPD VID page uses some colored elements similar to the FLT page
    • When the TDU PNV button is selected "OWNER CUE" should not be displayed
  • Fixed: Laser rangefinder desync
  • Fixed: Radios allow invalid frequencies to be entered.
  • Fixed: TADS range value is incorrect if exceeds maximum range
  • Fixed: LASE # TRGT LOAL message error
  • Fixed: Rapid LRFD operations produce issue

Note: The next big, new items planned for the AH-64d will be the Image Auto-Tracker (IAT) set of functions that allow the TADS to lock on to a target with sufficient contrast rather than having to manually track it with the thumb force controller. Following the inclusion of IAT, we plan to add DCS: AH-64D to the free trial period program.
