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

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%.

Released!

A while ago (around October 2013) I worked with Eagle Dynamics to make a tv commercial video for DCS World/Flaming Cliffs 3. I made 2 videos, each 30 seconds long. The Flaming Cliffs 3 version was for the Russian market, while the DCS World version was for the US market.

This video contains all footage used in both videos. I had to wait a while before going public with this video, but here it is.

More progress of the Oculus Rift into DCS: W

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1997187&postcount=1494

So, I got permission for Oculus to say a bit more...

Both myself and the team in Moscow have the HD Prototypes that are 1080P. (1920x1080)
Split to 960x1080 per eye. It also has reduced latency. This version already provides a much better experience than the DK1 with 640x800 per eye (split).

Alex has been working with it the last week and we already have DCS up and running on the Rift to include:

Head tracking
Re-centering hot key
Automatic Rift detection
Stereo 3D
Fixed HUD projection for 3D
In-mission GUI
Using Rift for view control in Replays
F2 view working with Rift control
Adjustments for distortion and chromatic aberration

More to still do, but things are shaping up well.

That is good news. It appears that incorporating the OR into established game engines isn't as difficult as some have suggested. The developer has also said that early OR prototype versions SDK's should be easily upgradeable to the the consumer version SDK.

About DCS World
DCS World is a vehicle combat simulation game created by Eagle Dynamics. DCS World uses a powerful engine that delivers realistic and engaging gameplay. The battlefield includes a spectacular mission area - the location of the Georgian conflict in 2008. Fly the Su-25T in a massive, semi-dynamic campaign to achieve dominance in the skies over Georgia! DCS World serves as the basis for which all DCS aircraft operate within.

The huge variety of aircraft, land units and warships are included from countries such as the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and others. Units are controlled by sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) and they have an amazing level of detail. This all allows for the creation of engaging, real-world combat missions in this flashpoint region. DCS is a true "sandbox" simulation that can and will cover multiple time periods covering many types of combat and civilian units.

DCS: M1A2?

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2002724&postcount=1

Dear all,

We are looking for detailed information on the M1A2, preferably SEP update, to include:

1- Commander's independent thermal viewer (CITV) with second-generation thermal imager, commander's display for digital colour terrain maps for IVIS.

2- DRS Technologies second-generation GEN II TIS thermal imaging gunner's sight.

3- Inter-Vehicle Information System (IVIS.) The IVIS system allows for the automatic and continual exchange of information between vehicles. By incorporating information provided by an on board Position/Navigation (POSNAV) system, unit commander's can track the location and progress of subordinate elements automatically, without tasking vehicle crews. In addition enemy positions can be identified, plotted and disseminated, while reports and artillery requests can be automatically formatted, transmitted, and processed. Lastly, map graphic control measures and operational orders can be rapidly distributed via the IVIS system.

4- Complete and detailed description of the driver control system and driver's integrated display and thermal management system.

4- Detailed functional description of all commander, gunner and driver control panels.

5- Detailed and complete photography of inside commander, gunner, loader, and driver areas.

- Note, please do not just link to items found on Google. Been there, done that.

If you feel you have unique data that is NOT classified, pleas drop me a PM. We may also be looking for M1A2 SMEs.

Thanks!

Wags put a term update list and modules:
http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2039947#post2039947

The below is provided to explain the various fidelity levels of flight dynamics and cockpit systems modeling available in our various DCS aircraft simulation products. We provide this to you to help better understand what your are purchasing:

Standard Flight Model (SFM). This has not changed and defines a more data-driven means of achieving flight dynamics, in conjunction with some scripting. SFM was used in the Lock On series and is still used in the Flaming Cliffs 3 Su-33 and MiG-29. However, we do plan to update these at a later time.

Advanced Flight Model (AFM) and AFM+. An AFM uses multiple points of force application and calculation on the relevant flight surfaces. This simulates edge of envelope conditions well and avoids scripted behaviors as used in an SFM. This system also partially implements the aircraft's flight augmentation systems. DCS aircraft that use AFM includes the Su-25T. A further evolution of the AFM is what we term the AFM+ and this uses the same calculations as AFM but adds limited modeling of the hydraulic and fuel systems. Examples of AFM+ in DCS include the Su-25 and A-10A.

Professional Flight Model (PFM). This is generations beyond an AFM/AFM+ and is based upon:

• Use a wider array of wind tunnel tests CFD methods for aerodynamics parameters calculations.
• A higher level of aircraft construction details for forces calculations. For example: our landing gear model includes individual kinematics of retracting/extending is used to calculate its movement, servo-piston forces, etc. In such cases, we truly use real lengths, arms, etc. This also includes such items as a realistic simulation of airflow along the airframe due to the propeller or helicopter rotor thrust.
• Realistic simulation of Flight Control, CAS and Autopilot systems.
• Realistic simulation of Hydraulics, Fuel, Electrical, Engine and other systems influence flight characteristics.
• Unprecedented access to test data packs.

This is combined with much more detailed and accurate accounting of the physical forces on the aircraft and airfoils. DCS examples of the PFM include the A-10C, Ka-50, P-51D, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, F-15C and Su-27 (in development) for DCS Flaming Cliffs, and the Fw190-D9 (in development).

External Flight Model (EFM). Used by our partner developers, the EFM uses only a part of PFM - rigid body physics and contact model. What forces and moments are applied to this rigid body from aerodynamics and any other sources except the contact forces is up to EFM developer.

Standard Systems Modeling (SSM). A DCS module using SSM is characterized as including just the most essential cockpit systems and using keyboard and joystick commands only to interact with the cockpit. Examples of SSM in DCS include all of the Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft.

Advanced Systems Modeling (ASM). An ASM enabled aircraft goes into great depth to model the intricacies of the various cockpit systems, to include functionality for almost all the buttons, switches, dials, etc. A key element of an ASM cockpit is the ability to interact with it using your mouse. ASM DCS examples include the A-10C, Ka-50, P-51D, UH-1H and Mi-8MTV2.

In the coming weeks, we will be updating our store pages to use these product definitions.

Other than how deep I penetrate a farm-field when lawn darting - it it's anything like a camera depth of field this would be a great option for adjustment.

If it's what I think it is it would be a great way to modify frame rate for slower machines at the expense of crispness at distance and foreground.

If you look at the pic of the heli and troops, you will see the grass is slightly out of focus right in front and at the back while the band where the heli, the 1 troop and concrete section is in focus. Move further back and you see the other troops and AA truck etc are again out of focus.
DoF is in photography is scale-able depending on your lens and your camera settings. Its about trying to create the right effect that provides impact to the scene you are shooting.

hnbdgr

Jun-23-2014, 03:49

Boy, can I relate to that.

Depth of field is the area in focus between a near point and a far point. With a camera, this can be controlled by changing the "f stop". The lower the "f stop" the greater the area in focus. I don't know how that might relate to the digital world, though.

badfinger

Sorry for correcting you...:recon:

The width of a diaphragm in a lens (otherwise called an aperture) dictates how much/little will be in the depth of field and as such in focus.

The bigger the hole (represented by small f numbers - 1.8,2 etc. ) the smaller the depth of field - the better separation of your subject from the background
The smaller the hole (big f numbers generally f8+) the larger the depth of field - you will get more of the background in focus.

ATAG_Headshot

Jun-23-2014, 08:05

I personally hate DOF effects in games. It's a neat idea to try to simulate more of what the eye would actually see, but the problem is that it doesn't take into account how fast your eye accommodates when you look at something else. For example, most games will have more of a set DOF effect such that all distant items will be rather blurry. This is terrible for when you are in the cockpit and trying to look a long ways away at say a hill line while searching for a low target. Your natural eye would refocus on the hill line allowing you to see it much better while everything close in would go more blurry, but you won't usually notice because what you are focusing on intentionally is clear. The problem is that even with stuff like track IR the game never knows exactly where you are looking. I am often not looking directly at the middle point of my screen so trying to slave your focal point to that doesn't help much either. If you scan the sky and see a tiny dot a long way off the game won't know that unless you center it and it refocuses the DOF for that, which leads to things not in your optimal range simply being blurry, looking terrible, and not in focus.

Remon

Jun-23-2014, 08:36

Don't worry, they said that DoF won't be in game. It will only be used when you're taking screenshots. That's why I'm guessing they'll implement something like Arma 3's camera. where you can select your aperture.

+1 current technology is nowhere near replicating acuity of human eyesight.

Rgr that! :thumbsup: Why would I want a sim to replicate my naturally lousy eyesight? LOL Actually, for a long time I was having trouble using TrackIR with my progressive bifocals. We're constantly tilting our heads using it, as a result my line of sight to the monitor was frequently looking through the wrong part of the bifocals. Pretty hard to spot hard-to-spot spots! :D I moaned about this to my eyedoctor (she started laughing when I described Clod, TrackIR, HOTAS cockpit etc), but the solution was easy. Single prescription eyeglasses without all the fancy (ie expensive) coatings in a cheap frame. She had me measure the distance from my eyes (with a semi-straight face) when sitting normally with feet in the rudder pedals to the monitor screen, and she had the cheap "computer glasses" made for me. Presto! It was like freaking night and day to have the screen in sharp focus no matter how I tilted my head. I could spot spots!

:)

Thanks Ramon for the DoF update. :salute:

Hi Freya,
From what I read on the DCS forums the short answer would be no.
The other answer is that we have not been advised yet and there should be an update by WAGS for July that will probably spell it out more.

The general thought is that the key will be made available when the product is made available.

:thumbsup: That is good news! I fear that as a paypal backer and a DCS steam version user, I may have some hurdles to get over before I can test out the Dora. Time will tell! Thanks for the info! :salute:

You don't mind me asking... What is the deal with STEAM DCS and non steam DCS. I've activated my P51 on steam earlier this week. Could I activate it with the same key in a non steam version? And how is it going to affect you regarding the dora? I'm also a paypal backer.

Foul Ole Ron

Jun-27-2014, 06:52

Steam made a decision to stop the key merges.

Keys bought from the ED site (or anywhere else outside of Steam) can no longer be used to activate DCS products on Steam.

Keys bought on Steam can be used to activate on DCS World products though.

If you've activated your P51 on Steam that licence will only be active on Steam as far as I know. Personally I've always preferred to keep my DCS platform away from Steam. You're better off doing this from now on if you can as you won't be able to take advantage of ED sales throughout the year otherwise. But if there's any Steam sales you can use those to buy the key and then activate on DCS World.

hnbdgr

Jun-27-2014, 07:38

Ok thanks for explanation. Well, I'm not sure which key I've been given as a backer but I did activate the steam version. That should mean I can also activate the non steam version with the same key.

Foul Ole Ron

Jun-27-2014, 07:59

I don't think so.. once it's activated on the Steam version the key is used up as far as I know. Maybe you could place a ticket with ED support to see if there's anything they can do to have it re-registered for DCS World instead as long term that would be the best option I think.

My P-51 key works on both Steam and non-Steam version of DCS.

Can somebody clarify the FW190 situation for WWII backers? I backed at $50 level so do I get a key in August?
I asked too about it, and waitin for answer. The first message was "all who backed more than 40 backs will get key, but later". I asked "How later?" Really ready to buy Dora now and present second smb. Don't want wait longer.

If you backed at $40 or higher you'll get your key for the Dora before the August release and you'll be able to fly it immediately on release day:

Originally, the $20 backers showed 4 flyables as a kickstarter reward of which I selected the FW190. So there seems to be some changes there re: the $40 point.

Originally only those who selected the Fw 190 as a DCS World reward would have been receiving the 190 in August, and IIRC that was at least a $90 pledge. The rest were going to wait until DCS WW2 was in beta. What has changed is that those who pledged at the $40 level and above are receiving the 190 as a DCS World reward.

The new and improved DCS World website is now live. The website has been reformatted to make it more organized, look better, and more mobile device friendly. Please visit the revamped new site at:

www.DigitalCombatSimulator.com

DCS World 2

Each day we are making more progress in moving DCS World 2. Since the previous newsletter, the team has made great progress on AI landing logic, an all-new multiplayer interface that includes such features as Favorites and Filters, new smoke effects, improvements to the lighting and shadows, replaced the general ground texture with a higher resolution one, increased new terrain graphics performance, the ability to load and work with different maps in the Mission Editor, improvements to the Graphical User Interface (GUI), dedicated server, and a new protection system.

We often read questions regarding how the current Black Sea map will look in DCS World 2. Rather than try to describe this in words, we have included a non-edited gameplay video of the freely available Su-25T Instant Action mission “SAM Killer”. We hope this will paint a clear picture.

Video: https://youtu.be/xaKkwChLE5c

We are burning the midnight oil and we will release an alpha of Nevada Test and Training Range map once we feel it is ready. Before we can do so though, there are still several items that need to be addressed. These will also include: completing the new multiplayer interface, performance optimization, various unified .exe issues, remaining crashes, and some night lighting issues.

DCS: L-39 Albatros

The next aircraft module to be released by Eagle Dynamics will be the L-39 Albatros. The front and back cockpit are nearing completion as you can see in the included video. This video also gives you another look at the Black Sea map in DCS World 2.

Video: https://youtu.be/Xo6chhW9pPk
Primary aspects to still complete are an all-new external model and the completion of the cockpit systems and flight dynamics.

The biggest innovation for this aircraft, and a big part of our reason choosing it, was the inclusion of multiple network players in the same aircraft. This technology has been a big focus of the team as of late. This has also been a big reason for our re-design of the multiplayer interface. It is to be determined if this features will be part of the initial beta release.

DCS World 2: Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) Map

https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/20894_944862505535638_1584792944394459404_n.jpg?oh =3b7ef3c0fc7ef04a05c419057da72fa1&oe=55CA76E0

We are further improving the Nevada map and moving it closer to Alfa. Items being worked on include adding the various TACAN and VORTAC stations, improving the mountain textures, improving ground object shadowing, and adding collision models to most ground objects.

Included is a video demonstrating the urban density possible with DCS World 2 and the tremendous sense of speed it provides when flying at low altitude. No, no time acceleration is used.

Video: https://youtu.be/LMOzd89daiU

DCS: Strait of Hormuz Map

https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/11203007_944863892202166_6211969023499711684_n.jpg ?oh=f4d37a36a4d4b974ae0f335af89976a5&oe=55CC1D49

When not working on the Nevada map, our map team is making steady progress on the Strait of Hormuz Map. Most of the airfields are now placed and a great deal of work is being done on manually improving the elevation mesh and textures. However, this map still has a long way to go with items such as airfield taxi routing, water textures, airbase lighting, ground object placement, navigation aids, and ATC still needed to be addressed.

DCS: Combined Arms 1.5

https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/l/t1.0-9/11124708_944862125535676_1514700114859508855_n.jpg ?oh=240bbe426ce3cc3897d19c03bc2660bf&oe=55DE268A

A lot of new work is going into Combined Arms in regards to improved user control (particularly from the external unit movement control), intercom messages, and improved AI. While a bit too early to show off these new features in this newsletter, we hope to be showing these advancements off soon.

DCS: P-47D and DCS: Spitfire

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10985963_944863302202225_6361396854196335922_n.jpg ?oh=cad0b94b1bfc93ce73fb4fb547084099&oe=55982812&__gda__=1436019875_b5a3d7cdc0ee46269b75abf980ce2af 2

Work continues on the object models, cockpit systems and flight models, but there is nothing new to show this month.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet

Work is mostly focused on the air-to-ground radar that is making good progress; the team is now starting to create the various sub-modes such as the expanded modes. We have included a couple of images that show samples of the new air-to-ground radar technology that is based on radar reflectivity logic.

https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11204438_944862898868932_6924794552352459605_n.jpg ?oh=a2bb59b84d14cb6a9378079fdc1767c4&oe=55CF4266

DCS World 2 Status

Despite our best efforts over the past six months, DCS World 2 has not yet achieved the quality level and features that we require for an open alpha release. Rather than release an alpha version that is potentially a disappointment for many users, we feel it best to keep it in the oven a bit longer to bake it more thoroughly. We fully realize that this is disappointing for some, but I can assure you that it pales in in comparison to our own. No one wishes to release our new baby out into the world more than us.

Some of the biggest remaining items that we need to address before an open alpha include:

New multiplayer GUI system that allows multiple players in the same aircraft and multiple player aircraft in the same flight. This is critical for multi-seat aircraft like the L-39, UH-1H, Hawk, etc.
Completing the move to use of a single executable. This will allow us to do long-desired features such as a satellite view in the Mission Editor, 3D objects in the Encyclopedia and Mission Editor, faster mission loading times, and a more stable product.
With the move to DX11, we are continuing to find ways to increase performance. This is even more important with the coming wave of VR gear that demands extremely high framerates.
We wish to improve several more of the effects before the open alpha. Although we have new smoke, contrails, lighting, shadow, and missile trail effects, there are more we wish to improve like better explosions and over-wing vapor.
Lastly, there are a few remaining crash bugs we need to resolve.
So, although we have been making tremendous progress in developing DCS World 2, there are a few more items that still need to be addressed in order to meet our quality standards. We can only ask for patience because we believe that it will all be worth the wait and DCS World 2 will usher in a new chapter in the world of Digital Combat Simulator.

DCS: Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) Status

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/images/newsletter/20150617/NTTR2.jpg

While much of the team has been hard at work on getting DCS World 2 ready, our map team and engineers have been busy improving the NTTR map and fixing bugs. While we have made the significant step of moving the map into full testing, there are several important areas that need to be addressed before we can release it as an open alpha to everyone. Some of these items include:

Functional Air Traffic Control
Ground unit road movement
Performance improvements
Static object issues
TACAN and ILS
A couple of crash situations
When the map is available as an open Alpha, our plan is to still make this map available for free to those that purchased A-10C Warthog while it was in beta (prior to 21 February 2011). It will also be available for purchase from our e-shop for $39.99 USD.

DCS WWII

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/images/newsletter/20150617/SpitIX.jpg

The Spitfire has begun internal testing within DCS World. The Spitfire has progressed past the P-47 due to the level of info in ED's hands for the Spitfire while research continues on the P-47. The model has been added to DCS World internally and testing of the Merlin 66's performance has started; next will be the prop performance. The Spitfire version will be an early production Mark IXc LF with clipped wings. As a possible bonus, it's planned (but subject to change) to have the option to select the long wing version; however, you will lose the benefit of the clipped version and its roll rate.

MiG-29 for Flaming Cliffs 3

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/images/newsletter/20150617/MiG-29-12-06-2015-4.jpg

To round out the collection of updated aircraft for Flaming Cliffs 3, the team is working on updating the MiG-29. This will include both a new, high-resolution 6 DOF cockpit and a new external model. After the F-15C, Su-27 and Su-33 Professional Flight Models (PFM) are complete, we also plan a PFM for the MiG-29.
The MiG-29 will have the same level of cockpit systems fidelity as the other Flaming Cliffs aircraft.
This will be a free update for Flaming Cliffs 3 owners.

Man, not even anything mentioned about the WW2 map. If ED goes any slower they're going to go backwards in time, which actually would be a good thing because at this rate EDGE will be outdated when it's out.

Compared to what? No other developer is building something similar: a sim sandbox open to third party developers, clickable pits, a powerful mission editor with a reasonable learning curve... Or if you only mean the graphics engine, that doesn't matter very much. The core of simulation is the systems, not the textures.

I am not comparing them to anything, I understand that the things they develop are naturally more complex and time consuming than most other software developments. But that doesn't change the fact that they are still incredibly slow, no matter what kind of software it is, and not just EDGE, but like I said the WW2 map and the eternal beta modules. Oh boy I just thought, how long will DCS world 2 be in alpha?(forget beta) 10 years? And they keep giving the same reasons for delaying it, no doubt those are the real problems but still come on, you would think they could have seen this stuff way off.

Weekly DCS World Stream

Dear all,

After the success of the Twitch Stream yesterday, we are going to attempt to do a weekly Twitch stream (when the software is cooperating and I am not traveling). Currently, I am thinking that it will be on Sundays at 1800 UTC time. With the kinks worked out, the streams will be archived for later viewing and users are free to re-broadcast.

It’s my hope that the first weekly stream will be this Sunday, 28 June.

I will also be doing an open Q&A on the channel chat the half hour prior to the stream starting.

More details to follow…

Thanks,
Matt

Aditionaly to the week review, the ED team answerd questions, half hour previous the Stream. The community can pur your questions here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=144519

I review otherwise the Stream and on 11:14 minute, Wags tell after NTTR release, the theater map will gain more updates with mew textures, resolution mesh and airbases (Tonopa Airbase has planned), other will be the south part of the map with the National training centre (Fort Irwin) to use them with a Combined arms area to make training / mission and Campaign (vs Opposing Force / 11th Blackhorse Cavalry Regiment?). Other parts can will be update has the Saint George country, with Airport and better detail zone on east NTTR map.

Official video by Bunyap, that show the Wags Q&A previous to the June 28 Streaming.

MudSpike Q&A translation, with interesting detaills.
http://forums.mudspike.com/t/dcs-world-2-live-steam-part-deux-electric-boogaloo-june-28th/467

Q&A section was recorded by ED I think, but here's a brief summary of what I remember (all paraphrased, accuracy mistakes are all mine):

Note to self: send @wagmatt an iTunes voucher, as he and his music library have been stuck in a well for over 20 years now.

Updated using @bunyap2w1's video info - thanks!

Q1: Will the ATC system be revamped?
A: Yes, Wags worked with both an F-18 and F-15 pilot to create a more realistic ATC system that is being implemented now. Different landings (emergency, break etc), frequencies, start-up controllers and wingmen. Focus of the team right now.

Q2. Will NTTR trees have collisions? How will they be handled?
A. Yes, with a single rectangular trunk polygon being solid. Whole forests (rather than urban trees that are more individually placed I guess) are still being worked on and might be done after launch though. Performance is important for this part.

Q3. What is the weather engine and what's due to be improved?
A. More realistic weather! Nicer clouds, dynamic high/low pressure systems. Support for turbulence, especially around mountains for updrafts etc.

Q4. How many more countries are being added to the Mission Editor?
A. A pretty extensive list of new countries will be shown in the stream, e.g. Iran, UAE etc. Many are placeholders rather than having skins/units done so far.

Q5. Will we see special target units on the NTTR?
A. Not really units, but the satellite terrain does have range/circles to use. The map will be hopefully expanded after release to include some more detailed around NTTR and the surrounding range and airports.

Q6. Size on disk of NTTR map?
A. About 46GB (forty six) for Nevada (Editor: so with DCS 1.0 full at about 27GB, buy stock in SSD makers)

Q7. Possible to fly multiple players in one package, plus AI take the lead?
A. Yes! In multiplayer the player doesn't need to be lead. Can be any member of the four-ship with an AI lead. Great for datalink systems and more realistic sharing.

Q8. What is the model vis option for? Is the 'smart scaling' (called 'Model Visibility' in the config of DCS 2) a LOD system of seeing aircraft closer (as an option)?
A. Not really model scaling, it's more just an icon that scales. When an object goes to a single pixel, say, this icon helps other aircraft visibility (if that option is on, it's optional). Great for the WWII aircraft.

Q9. Will the existing free Black Sea/Caucasus map have collisions on trees?
A. Unlikely, no. That map may be redone and released in the future though (either free or payware). The map is being improved in terms of textures plus in the future improve the mesh, objects and range, e.g. the Crimea.

Q10. Any sound engine improvements in 2.0?
A. Yes, a new API is being worked on, including position info for 3rd party and mod makers so that it is easy to use. Cleaner separation of sound and game logic, which helps performance.

Geography, ain't it crazy sometimes?

You are right Freya, There is the town of Virgin down there, but it is south of Beaver.. That being said the I-15 corridor north of St George is known as the Fillmore - Virgin - Beaver area.

In all seriousness the eastern area of that map is one of the most beautiful places in the country, there are two national parks, (Zion and Bryce) and two National Monuments (Cedar Breaks and part of Grand Staircase Escalante ) not to mention numerous state parks; The Tushar mountains to the east of Beaver are over 12,000 feet high. That's Just Utah, on the Nevada side of the map there is Red Rock Canyon Nation Conservation Area and Lake Mead National recreation Area, both of which are quite stunning from 30K feet in the air, not to mention Nevada is the most mountainous state in the US. I know it is a flight sim and we are not there to sight see, but I hope they at least try and do it justice.

Wags interview of thedevildoggamer on DCS: W 2 (first 45 min)

http://www.twitch.tv/thedevildoggamer/v/7943279

In summary (by mwd2):
- Open Alpha will have DCS World 2.0 + NTTR (payware or free for A-10C Beta User) + Caucasus + Su-25T + TF-51D (no split to bring DCS World 2.0 earlier!)
- Dedicatet Server after the OpenAlpha (no date)
- All Aircrafts in DCS World 1.0 will work in DCS World 2.0
- each client in a Multicrew-Aircraft need a Licence for this aircraft
- tree blocking of sights and weapon impact later (dependent on the performance!)
- Low Detail Area on NTTR: No Objects
- NTTR should get an overhaul (hopefully) after release Strait of Hormuz
- Spitfire (external model) fly in DCS World 2.0
- the Team is working at MP issue, fix crashes and optimization - if these done, they will release it just the next day.

I think September is probably the date that ED have in mind right now. VEAO announced last week that their P40-F will be released in September and I suspect that's the date they were given by ED who won't want to be doing a minor release in between now and the major DCSW 2 release. Time will tell though.

DCSW 1.5 coming in September - new rendering engine but only Black Sea map. Sounds like a step-by-step transition into DCS 2.0. Probably for the best if it's not ready to keep other things from hanging around too long.

The Albatros module will be released as an open beta in September 2015 along with DCS World 1.5.0. This version will use the new rendering engine, but only include the Black Sea map.

Jul-24-2015, 09:04

I think this is a good step for open alpha as it allows us to identify any issues with edge before testing the new map rather than doing both at the same time. The most important element for me is the improved performance, particularly online. Hopefully I will soon be stutter free.

Preliminary Changelog DCS: World 1.5

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2487386&postcount=1

Dear all,

What follows is a preliminary changelog of DCS World 1.5. Because 1.5 is being built from a new branch of our code, we cannot account for changes made in earlier branches. As such, we had to create much of this changelog based on memory and older bug tracking reports.

Because of this and that we will probably be adding or modifying items, this changelog is very preliminary and subject to change during the Open Beta period. Also please note that we are still awaiting changelog items for most of the BST modules.

As items are added or modified, they will be highlighted in red.

As for the status of releasing the 1.5 Open Beta, we have good news: we created the 1.5 branch (release version) today. Just as soon as we complete smoke testing, we will release it.

Sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

DCS World 1.5.0 Changelog

General
New unified executable. Separate executables are no longer used for the front end and simulation.
New graphics engine with the following features: DirectX 11 Support, optimized for GPU rather than CPU, improved lighting and shadowing, and improved graphical effects like contrails, flares and missile trail smoke, improved water
Improved VR support with Direct Display mode and VR front end GUI, but still very much work-in-progress until hardware reaches consumer release versions
Corrected track synchronization errors

Note: Once DCS World 1.5 is out of Open Beta, we will update the DCS World User Manual to reflect all of the following changes

DCS World 1.5.0 Changelog

General

- 0.7.0.0 Rift support with Direct Display mode and VR front end GUI, but still very much work-in-progress until hardware reaches consumer release versions

Bf-109K-4

-New Options for setting rudder and aileron trim tabs in options menu

C-101

- Several cockpit textures issues fixed
- Parking brake implemented
- Startup training mission with English voice overs included

a couple of notes about 1.5:

- We won't build 32-bit binaries anymore. The users of 32-bit systems will stop getting the updates. Steam users will have to switch to a special 'beta' to keep using 32-bit DCS (locked at 1.2.16).
- Netcode improvements will come later
- ServMan support is currently broken but will be restored. This will require some minor work on ServMan part. ServMan maintainters are welcome to PM me.
- The infamous network 'integrity check' was removed and will be replaced with a different tech.

While release build creation and final testing are underway, here are a few images of the new MiG-29 cockpit.

A few good tips by others here about using Module Manager to load in already-purchased aircraft into 1.5, plus turning off Depth of Field in the video settings has this sim running at a full 60 fps (with vsync enabled) in the Instant Action FW vs P51 mission. Haven't tried much else yet, but it's looking really, really good. I agree that the visibility of the FW190 opponent is much better now and far easier to track in a dogfight. :thumbsup:

Stive Daves explain the magnitude of the future NTTR F-15 / A-10C Campaings to DCS: W

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2552503&postcount=28

Thanks for the write up, Beach.

It's probably worth explaining a little more about the genesis for the Red Flag campaigns and the way in which they were created.

It was Matt's idea to create the campaigns (there are two: F-15C and A-10C). We thought that I could write a fictional narrative and associated mission briefings centered around attending RF, while Matt could employ his fiendishly good mission building skills to make the narrative come alive in the air.

Before we started, we went to an expert who had attended multiple RFs, including as overall mission commander. He gave us the insight that was required to create something that is as close to the real thing as you can get.

At an unclassified level, the expert gave us a typical plan for the overall two-week exercise, described all the 'evolutions' that take place during an RF, outlined the typical learning outcomes, and showed us the way in which they are administratively and tactically run. He talked us through the range space, showed us where and how the 'war' is 'fought', and gave us scenario outlines that we could use to create an RF in DCS.

It's this insider knowledge that, in my mind, makes these two campaigns so unique and exciting.

From there, Matt and I sketched out the broad plan for the 12 or so missions, defining objectives, components and mission flow, before Matt set about actually creating the sorties in his usual 'balls to the wall' style. I test flew the missions and then wrote the narrative and put together the mission planning materials.

After that, we created the custom radio scripts and Matt put in the triggers, ensuring that the missions fly and feel authentic. And we test flew again to ensure that they were not too difficult... but, as Beach says, there is no quarter given for buffoonery.

Beach hasn't really discussed the supporting documents that come with the campaigns, but suffice you say that for the F-15C campaign, we ended up with
26 Pages of tactical briefings

These are short summaries that you can read before each mission if you don't want to spend too much time going through the narrative.

These briefings are presented on the mission summary page before each mission, so you don't have to have anything open other than DCS.
100 pages of narrative and briefings

This amounts to about 22,000 words and was designed to really draw you into the campaign, help you suspend disbelief, and give you all of the details you'll need to successfully complete each mission.

It contains the fictional narrative, tactical summaries of what happened 'the day before' and what is expected to happen 'today', as well as very detailed briefings for the forthcoming evolution: mission flow, timings, players, goals, radio call signs, tactical plans, threat assessments, motherhood briefings, mission administration and so on.

It is also illustrated, with lineup cards for each mission that you can print and use, and maps of the NTTR airspace.

The use of the tactical briefings means that if you just want to fly and have fun, you can do that.

But, if you're like me (and like the real life guys flying RF), the 100-page version will ensure that you'll spend as much time (if not more) reading the briefings and planning in the mission editor than you will actually flying...

What I believe we ended up with the is the most rounded, most authentic, and most engaging of any of the campaigns I have flown in the DCS suite. Of course, you could accuse me of bias, but you can make up your own minds...

For me, the most satisfying thing about the missions Matt crafted is that they really do push home the importance of operating as part of a large force, which is one of the fundamental objectives of Red Flag. If you go out to the range space as a singleton, you'll die quickly and you will fail the mission. If you lose SA early, you will die and fail the mission. If you violate your range space, you will fail the mission. But if you work with the other players, hit your ToTs, stay on station for your vul times, fly the CAPs properly, maintain SA and do what the mission plan asks of you, you'll likely succeed.

I don't care that this is a simulation of, er, a simulation - as Beach says, flying back down the Sally Corridor having completed a mission gives you a real sense of accomplishment.

Anyway, just wanted to make sure that you guys have a complete picture of what's coming your way.

Finally!

Now, the question - Mirage or Nevada? One can only spend so much!!!!

Nevada I'd say as it'll offer tons of game play. They'll also release the NTTR red flag campaign for the A-10C soon enough which should offer some really detailed and immersive missions. I'm going to wait for the release of the Mirage and some reviews before deciding to buy or not. Anything from ED, Belsimtek or LNS is an insta buy for me. The other 3rd party developers I'm going to wait on reviews until they prove themselves.

Created by “Baltic Dragon”, The Enemy Within is a story - driven campaign that puts you in cockpit of an A-10C Warthog, sent as a part of small US detachment to Georgia in order to help contain a growing threat from a terrorist organization calling itself the “Caucasus Liberation Army” (CLA). As the story unfolds, you will be faced with a variety of challenges, including close air support, precision strikes, combat search and rescue, anti-ship strikes and even air to air combat. Striving to be as realistic as possible, the units featured in the campaign are based on their real-life counterparts. It also uses a sophisticated radio control system, meaning that you have to tune your on-board radios to the correct frequency to be able to hear more than 670 voiceovers included in the campaign. There are also over 80 pages on FRAGOs (fragmentary orders, based on the ones used by US Air Force), 50 pages of briefings and 40 maps and recon photos designed to help you successfully finish all the 21 missions.

Note that this campaign requires ownership of either Flaming Cliffs 3 or F-15C for DCS World, along with the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map. For those that pre-purchased the Nevada map and elected to receive this map for free, you will now be able to activate this campaign from the DCS World 2.0 Module Manager.

https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xal1/v/t1.0-9/12376437_1071830636172157_2900574956945505013_n.jp g?oh=210d1be87cc94eebde258fa9ac6a3838&oe=573F485F

The F-15C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign is a depiction of flying the F-15C Eagle during a typical Red Flag exercise in the skies over Nevada. This campaign includes extensive briefing, map, and lineup card PDF files for each mission and was designed in consultation with the renowned author Steve Davies, the authority on the F-15C.

All of the missions are based on input from real F-15C pilots that have flown in Red Flag exercises and will provide you a challenge that will test even the most skilled virtual pilots.

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map Update

We continue working on improvements to the Nevada map that includes fixing bugs and implementing new features. The following will be available in the coming months:

Add Tonopah Air Force Base
Add additional casino/hotels to the Las Vegas strip
Add additional airfields and landing strips to the central (detailed) portion of the map
Add the National Training Center (NTC)
Improved grass and ground clutter
Other smaller improvements
When these additional features are added and the module is final, the cost of the map will likely increase. However, these new features will be free to those that already own the map.

DCS: World Newsletter January 29 2016 (pics and videos on the weblink)

Dear Pilots!

2015 was an important year for DCS World with the introduction of new Eagle Dynamics Modules like DCS: L-39 Albatros, DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range, and both Su-27 and Ka-50 campaigns. Just as important, we launched our new graphics engine, the ability to support multiple maps, introduction of cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft, and a rapidly growing number of high quality 3rd party developers. These accomplishments have laid the foundation for great things in 2016 and beyond.

We also launched the new DCS World website that you can view here:
http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/index.php

On both our Youtube channel and Facbook page, we released many new videos of modules and news updates. Here are some of our favorite highlights:

Our fundamental goals for DCS World remain unchanged: we aim to build a deeply immersive and accurate world simulation engine that allows you to enjoy the highest levels of fidelity in aircraft operations from WWII onwards, in wonderfully detailed and varied areas of the globe while offering an ever more credible ground simulation experience.

DCS World 2.0 in 2016 will offer new clouds and weather effects; improved HDR; deferred lighting (more light sources); new FLIR system; an improved Air Traffic Control (ATC) system; enhanced explosions, over-wing vapor, and rain on canopy; procedural grass and vegetation; improved multiplayer with dedicated server support; a new Air Combat Generator with enhanced user control of air-to-air generated missions; new custom overlays option for the Mission Editor, and a new Virtual Reality (VR) tab in Options which will improve the DCS World experience in VR.

Aircraft Modules

Eagle Dynamics’s first goal in 2016 is to wrap up the L-39 Albatros with the addition of the L-39ZA version along with the addition of interactive training missions. We will also continue to improve the cooperative multiplayer experience in the L-39 as a testbed for this technology.

In parallel we continue to work on the F/A-18C Hornet. We are currently working on the cockpit and setting up its functionality. Later in 2016 we plan to release the Hornet as an “Early Access” product that will allow you to participate in early testing.

Our goals for DCS World War II remain unchanged and are still focused on a stable of WWII aircraft in addition to a 1944 map of Northern France with period ground units. We hope to finish the Spitfire IX in mid-2016 followed by the P-47D at the end of the year. We will also continue to fine-tune the P-51D, Fw 190 and Bf 109.

To complete the update to all DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft, we plan to add a new 3D external model for the MiG-29 with the incorporation of the Professional Fight Models (PFM) to both the Su-33 and MiG-29.

In the first half of 2016, several new 3rd party aircraft modules will also be launched. These include the F-5E Tiger II by Belsimtek, the SA342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations, and the AJS-37 Viggen by Leatherneck Simulations.

Map Modules

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map is being enhanced with the addition of:
Tonopah Air Force Base
New casino/hotels in the Las Vegas strip
A number of airfields and landing strips in the central (detailed) portion of the map
The National Training Center (NTC)
Improved grass and ground clutter
Plus a host of minor improvements

We have also been working on the DCS: Strait of Hormuz map with the primary focus on F/A-18C operations. For this release we are working on our new T5 dynamic mesh terrain technology that we believe will bring this map a new dimension in quality and detail.

The third map being worked on is the 1944 Northern France map. We see this period map as a cornerstone element to create an immersive World War II air combat experience.

Aircraft Carriers

We see 2016 as a big year for aircraft carrier operations as we plan to release both Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier modules. Both of these modules will be incredibly detailed models with working elevators, interior hanger bays, animated ship systems, and the ability to walk around inside the ships. These will be optional modules that would replace the existing ships currently in DCS World.

New Campaigns

As we release maps and aircraft, we will also continue to offer new campaign modules. These will include both training and combat scenario campaigns.

Summary

We see 2016 as a very exciting time for DCS World with the growth in maps, aircraft, and features. When we include all the new aircraft and map modules being developed by our talented 3rd parties, 2016 will be an exceptional and fun time in the skies of DCS World.

Sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

This is so good to see (NTTR map & campaigns, v2.0x). It was a long time ago (in Snapper years) that I purchased the A10C pre-alpha. With that initial release my controls would go all-screwy, causing my A10C to crash into the terrain with Bitchin' Betty nagging "Pull up! Pull up!" LOL

I gotta say, DCG fixed whatever the problem was with a quick update. Fast forward umpteen years and I found, to my everlasting delight, that DCG also held good to their long-ago promise of providing the NTTR map free of charge to those of us who bought that early A10C release. :thumbsup:

I bought the NTTR Campaign for the F15C, but other than verifying that it installed OK (it did), haven't played it yet. Gotta learn how to fly the darned thing, first! LOL

I plan to buy this 2nd NTTR Campaign which is now for the A10C...just gotta figure out how to start it up! :D

Salute, DCG! :salute:

Wait - who's DCG?

Do you mean DCS? Or ED (Eagle Dynamics - the devs)?

Apparently these DCS campaigns are really good. Haven't flown any though . . . I probably will do the Mirage one when it's released though.

You're right. Typo. Think my keyboard ig pooched.

Been there and once you get the sequence sorted out it is a great feeling. Now if I could only just figure out how to set Mavericks as SOI, then SPI, then lock all sensors to the Mav then zoom in and then and then and then . . . . whew (woah, maybe its TMS up short - no . . . up long, wait - down short . . . oh crap target behind me now).

So you are saying they banned you from the forums and then had your controls disabled after the last update? Really?? What did you say that got you banned?

Open a support ticket and see what they say.

I think it has something to do with new keyboard key inputs but I'm not sure what to change? yep its new keybindings added to the module so you have to find out which keys are double up.

Somebody posted this workaround fix on the ED forums:

Remove the red keys and rebind them then restart the game. Works for me. It happens when the default keybind that gets set with the new patch overlap with one of your other keybinds. It's annoying but easy fix
