It's always that last 10%...

Over the last few months, the team has made tremendous progress on both the NTTR art assets and getting EDGE working in DCS. Although we had hoped to have this wrapped up by the end of the year (never promised), I don't see that happening. There are half a dozen art issues that need to be resolved, EDGE integration into DCS will probably not be completed until Mid-December, and beta testing of the map within DCS has of course not been able to start yet.

Nevertheless, progress is being made... just not as fast as we all would like.

I've attached a short video showing some of the areas outside the airbases and downtown Las Vegas.

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.
