DCS World Update News

This Friday we hope to release 1.5.4 into the open beta. If after a week we see no blocking bugs in the 1.5.4 open beta, we will move it to the public build the following Friday. Once 1.5.4 is released to the public build, we plan to release the F-86F / MiG-15bis 3rd party campaign.

Following the update of DCS World 1.5, we will shift our focus back to DCS 2.0 for the next update.

Yes 2.0 getting some love in two weeks. lol

You mean it's TwoLate?

However great to hear that 2.0 gets some attention. Hopefully some bug fixes and other stuff.

Was the AI bug squashed? Don't see it mentioned in the changelog.

Nice! It's great to see a big patch, some great fixes and additions in there :).

Curious as to what this item means "Multiplayer. New extrapolation algorithm".

What do the following bullets mean in practise?

• Multiplayer. New integrity check system
  
• Multiplayer. New extrapolation algorithm
  
• Multiplayer. Added an input adjustment possibility
  

Thanks in advance. :)

Integrity checks prevent cheat mods from being used on-line.

Not sure about the extrapolation algorithm

Input adjustments - means you can enter the options/controls screen, and change key mapping etc on the fly while in multiplayer.

I wonder if we can access the animation keys from the export.lua?

1. Checks Files to make sure none are modded

2. New Item to help w/ Lag Spikes etc (Perhaps better explained by a ED Member, c0ff?)

3. Ability to Change your Input Settings While in Multiplayer (Previously Not possible, and limited to 2.0 at first).

I would like to know that as well, though I saw one of ED Testers saying that it was fixed internally. Will test it once the update is out!

This point could use some more detailed explanation from ED but I would assume it's related to the so-called "net code". Might be it's addressing the warping - example link.

By the way is the update already live (DCS updater does not see it)? If not what is the ETA?

The IC is clear. :D But what's now new with the IC?

I wondered about the third, because nothing new to me. But I only play 2.0 since March. :)

Support of hot plug of input devices now

I guess this should work nicely with Thrustmaster software (which creates virtual joystick).

Still no fix for the replay tracks ...and why isn't the Mig-21 patch mentioned?

Although this set of patch notes looks pretty complete it's not uncommon for 3rd party patch notes to be left off, even when the changes actually do make it into the patch. The M2000c isn't listed there either but there were meant to be quite a few changes/addition to that in this patch aswell.

Has this been fixed

Hot Plugging is The Ability to plug in and unplug USB Devices while in the Sim without having to exit the sim and re-launch it to detect new input devices.

That's great since I forget to plug in certain things like :joystick: occasionally before I launch. So this is a good one.

Hot-plugging will also be nice when I forget to start a TARGET script after I've already launched DCSW. :D

for when I forget to plug in my Knee Mounted USB Sony Cassette Player w/ Queen Tape in it....

The real question is, can you restart trackir while DCS is running ! :D

Yep, that's exactly what TM software does. It plugs a new joystick when you launch profile.
