DCS 1.2.7 Open Beta - Preliminary Change Log

 

Note: As a preliminary change log, the list below may be added to and/or items removed prior to release.

 

We will first release DCS 1.2.7 as an Open Beta using a web installer.

 

DCS World

 

  • Improved network play stability.
  • Track file are now automatically created when a crash is detected. In order to help the team find and correct MP issues that we are not always in position to produce during testing, 1.2.7 introduces the writing of tracks even when the game crashes. These tracks can be provided to the testers and developers in order to reproduce the conditions that caused the crash and correct it. This feature is a big step towards solving possible future and current problems that are often difficult to hunt down. When playing on a server and you experience a crash, put up an MP crash post and include that track in your post. Same thing goes for server owners.
  • CBU-87/103. Decreased the count of graphic effects for improving FPS.
  • ECM effectiveness against air defense systems has been significantly increased.
  • Adjust Control window for in-game input adjustment were added. Adjust Control button can be find in the system panel by pressing ESC.
  • VHF AM radio frequencies now correctly increased by 10 Mhz.
  • The input modifiers are separated for each input layer (for each aircraft).
  • Corrected night detection ranges of ground units with IR sensors.
  • Reworked the Dynamic Launch Zone (DLZ) of SAMs. It will now take to account the target’s data instead of the earlier fixed zone.
  • Kh-25ML (AS-10) new flight dynamics implemented.
  • Increased explosive mass to all HE rounds. Explosive now mass equals the round mass. This was decided because HE rounds lack fragmentation and were very weak on regards to proximity damage.
  • R-27R/T, R-27ER/ET. Corrected drag and lift. Adjusted DLZ data.
  • Corrected a far LOD of projectile's green tracer.
  • Added engine smoke for most aircraft.
  • Added SAM launchers elevation above target LOS. To preventing the missile crashing to surface when target flying very low the SAMs will be launch missiles slightly above LOS of SAM to target.
  • Added AI MQ-9 Reaper.
  • Changed Tu-22M3 payloads. If you have custom payloads of Tu-22M3 please delete custom file C:\Users\<USER NAME>\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\UnitPayloads\Tu-22M3.lua to prevent conflict.
  • Added new GBU-31(V)3 penetrating bomb.
  • AIM-9M/P, MIM-72G. Decreased lift and drag factors.
  • Spanish squadrons added to the log book.
  • AGM-84E changed warhead type from blast-fragmentation to penetration.
  • Added new Su-33 model.
  • Bombs are now visually loaded into the bomb-bays for the B-52, B-1B, and Tu-22.
  • B-52 and B-1B now have CAS tasks.
  • Support for Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 stick is now working again for all modules. Tuning is ongoing.
  • Support for Logitech G940 FFB stick is now working again for all modules except Mi-8MTV2 rudder trim. Tuning is ongoing. You must set FFB shake in the FFB Tune Menu to 100%.
  • New and improved ship wakes. Must set water setting to High.
  • Added new MISSION page for selection of single missions.

  • Fixed flight model bug causing erroneous “warping” in translational lift.
  • Cockpit doors can now be opened/closed with mouse click over the door handles.
  • Added seatbelts to pilot 3D models.
  • Added new door gunner human 3D models.

*Changes in input commands require resetting input profiles to new default settings. To do so, delete (or rename if you wish to keep a backup) the saved input configuration folders (files) located in \WINDOWS DRIVE\User\User Name\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\UH-1H\.

Increased explosive mass to all HE rounds. Explosive now mass equals the round mass. This was decided because HE rounds lack fragmentation and were very weak on regards to proximity damage.

 

 

this is a good thing ! :)

 

and remember it is . . . . . .

boy, I hope something more exciting happens.....soon....

 

Look, DCSW is a massive undertaking and it's a small company. Can't relate to that, well, go play Pong or something. Some needed fixes in there if you ask me however ;)

The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Hopefully great news for Multiplayer fix in the next patch?

 

Improved network play stability.

Track file are now automatically created when a crash is detected. In order to help the team find and correct MP issues that we are not always in position to produce during testing, 1.2.7 introduces the writing of tracks even when the game crashes. These tracks can be provided to the testers and developers in order to reproduce the conditions that caused the crash and correct it. This feature is a big step towards solving possible future and current problems that are often difficult to hunt down. When playing on a server and you experience a crash, put up an MP crash post and include that track in your post. Same thing goes for server owners.

 

 

Lets hope people send in there crash tracks so multiplayer can be fixed once and for all.

Please fix the crazy Schkval bug of it going ape and tracking to the moon or left and right field. Miro i agree with ya why dumb down the graphics? Ya i know fps hit is a bummer currently but im sure it all was offloaded to GPUS it would go away right?

CBU-87/103. Decreased the count of graphic effects for improving FPS.

 

Why? :mad:

 

Have you dropped one of those things recently? I'm usually not that fussed about FPS but even for me that FPS drop was ridiculous.

Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Not tried, flying SU-25A last Times, if You say FPS drop is too much it's OK to change it :thumbup:

No F-15C AFM? And I was hoping it could be out before X-Mas :cry:

 

Not sure if 1.2.7 is the base to open up the AFM for the F-15C. Since the F-15C will be sold separately, the AFM may announced when the module is announced. That's just a guess...
