DCS Update Patch Notes Discussion Thread

Yes Update 3 for Stable 1.5.7 is up.

Ships and weapons.dll no, as I have not been able to reproduce.

 

But give the new patch a go, you never know the fairy's may have been in and worked some magic :)

I call the programmers in my work fairy's ...... it a trip to HR for me

Restarted server with new patch and ships not longer start on fire ....

so off to a good start, fingers crossed on other issue

I think the Update 3 for 1.5.7 release version today deserves an official post somewhere.

Editing an existing Update post is making invisible for any that is not paying attention to the forum.

So does that mean that PFM SU-33 is now released on stable 1.5.7 release now? My Steam is downloading some kind of update for DCS world...

• AI Su-33 carrier takeoff dynamics adjusted.
  
• DCS Su-33
  
• Added new instant action missions on Caucasus.
  
• Missing textures in cockpit fixed.
  
• Fixed exaggerated hook bouncing when contact with deck.
  
• Hook retract speed increased to real value.

Support for the new Su-33 stand-alone module with PFM. Same as the Flaming Cliffs 3 Su-33.

Kind of a weird way of announing that its now on the Live version too, by just putting it between the patch notes and no further remarks to it. Oh well..

"Added new instant missions on Caucasus."

Did anybody get these because I don't really have any new instant action missions (either in main or Beta branch)?

They probably meant to have it like this:

DCS Su-33

• Added new instant action missions on Caucasus.
  
• Missing textures in cockpit fixed.
  
• Fixed exaggerated hook bouncing when contact with deck.
  
• Hook retract speed increased to real value.
  

The missions are there when you force install the su-33 stand alone.

4 missions in caucasus (CAC, grouynd strike, Gunzo, Take off)

To force install :

Open cmd and navigate to your dcs "bin" folder and then paste "DCS_updater.exe install SU-33" (make sure its in capitals)

Oh, so they're not added yet to the FC3 like the manual wasn't there in the initial beta release.

I suppose the Su-33 can be uninstalled afterwards in a similar way?

Actually, I am on open beta version. Don't know for main release.

And I did not try , but I suppose uninstalling is feasible, as anyway, the module does not appear in my game menus even after "force installing"

I tried this in stable and none of the missions for the -33 and for that matter the F-15, Su-25, and A10 didnt have any either though in my module manager it shows just with no keys? I have FC3, is this something that should be a ticket or if ED is aware.

Looks like 2.1 is getting some new life. Thank ED!

It's a big update - 6Gb for so few changes listed?

There are thousand of changes, but Chizh listed the most important ones. As always.

No fix for crash on exit of mission when Map view is accessed in the flight. Very disappointed that this major issue gets no mention. Its been reported for months but other than Bignewy saying he has forwarded it to ED no further acknowledgement.
