EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Always in motion is the future

Ask and you shall receive!!

Wait until it's ready and you shall receive as well! :D

Ohhh yeah!! Soo many things that needed to be fixed! Look at those AI stuff. I always hated my wingman not engaging a target because he didnt see the target but i did.

One thing is missing: What about the Huey release :huh:

Wait until it's ready and you shall receive as well! :D

I was actually referencing a post I submitted yesterday asking if there would be a change log posted soon. I guess Matt heard me...;)

EDIT: Very nice to see the 6DOF pits make it!!!! :cheer3nc::beer::cheer3nc:

Really relieved to learn some of those ME issues were bugs and not my own incompetence.

Looking forward to getting my Mustang back out now that it's got an appropriate opponent, too. And maybe for some more wacky experiments like "how many 190s can I simultaneously fight in an F-15?"

Also for learning the Flanker and the Toad now they've got a nice cockpit in which to do said learning.

And for some reason automatic transmission for ground vehicles also has me more excited than I would have expected.

good :D

 

New skins for the Su-27 and Su-33.

 

yeah, good but some questions only :thumbsup:

new skins for the new Su-27 model ?

and

new skins for the old Su-33 model ? or for the new Su-33 model ? :bounce:

"The Radio Menu F10 option now works in network games."

"-Trigger Action: Set Internal Cargo added"

Looks good.

Great job to Team ED!

Looking forward to this patch.

Looks awesome. Unbelievable amount of work I am sure has gone in to this.

The big news is that this will be the release version of FC3! Great, on to DCS F-18! :)

Nice. Can not wait for it.

No 6DOF cockpits for the SU-25T?

-CA fix for missing compass in gunsight views ?

-JTAC fixes "No mark" ?

-Low FPS with CBU and smoke ?

naaah...new patch, new bugs...that why is FC3 still grounded at my place!

...hail to the 6 dof...for some pits :thumbup:

No 6DOF cockpits for the SU-25T?

no, this has not been announced, so i doubt it's in the plans.

remember that the 25T is not fc3, it's a free aircraft... :(

but even the su33 will not be upgraded to 6dof if my understanding is correct...

-CA fix for missing compass in gunsight views ?

-JTAC fixes "No mark" ?

-Low FPS with CBU and smoke ?

+1 :smilewink:

Just hope smoke it fixed does make a mention of enhanced smoke for aircraft burning.

Fixed server crashes, when one client fires an air-to-air missile and other client joins the game.

CHAMPAIGN

all looking good...

Fixed helicopter AI ROE and threat reaction.

I hope this means that my Black Shark wingman will finally stop just sitting there and acting like missile-sponges whenever an enemy helicopter turns up on the battlefield.

Why isn't there a "fingers crossed" emoticon? :)

Looks awesome. Unbelievable amount of work I am sure has gone in to this.

 

The big news is that this will be the release version of FC3! Great, on to DCS F-18! :)

You're all over it Crunch!! This will hopefully carry us for a while until the next module. The playground is getting better and better!! OMG it think I caught a stiff one...:pilotfly:

Heeeuuuuhhheeeee ????

I REALLY hope that fast NOE flight/dust fps broblems are gone too. Lets hope best :)

And please, rwr to huey :D
