Last official update for the Hawk was 02\12\16. Today's Official update 05-12-2017, 02:53 PM DCS 1.5.6.5199 Update 4
DCS: M-2000C by RAZBAM added to Steam (attention: it uses Steam Keys only instead of Starforce keys)
DCS World PAI aircraft engine running with uncontrolled type fixed. Crash on second simulation launch with JTAC fixed. Scripting function Weapon.getTarget() on SEAD missiles now returns correct data. Corrected maximum fuel quantity for OH-58. Clouds aren’t longer rendered in front of water splashes. AI planes won’t be spawned with running engine when ramp start.
DCS C-101 by AvioDev Fixed command bar jump when passing through north heading or setting north heading in HDG mode. ALT mode commands now a correct altitude. Fixed missing SBY and GS EXT lights in rear panel repeater. FD V/L mode fixed. Fixed FD GO AROUND mode, it now commands wings level in roll channel instead of lateral mode V/L. Fixed GS mode, the airplane will now follow the glide path correctly. Fixed FD PAT mode. Restored functionality. ADI pitch adjustment knob only sets FD command bar in PAT mode, not ADI pitch attitude. Fixed ADI rising RWY symbol. It will now be hidden when the ADI is energized, as there is no radar altitude in the C-101EB. Fixed animation limits, when moved by mouse wheel, for the following cockpit controls: VHF NAV Volume, HSI Digits Brightness, ADI Pitch Adjustment, Airspeed Indicator Bug (still buggy as it moves too fast, corrected for next update).
DCS MiG-21Bis by Magnitude 3 LLC Adjusted timing for SPS-141 flair drop. Fixed random countermeasures not working when button is pushed. Added Chinese localization. Added frontal lock correction for 'rear-aspect only' missiles. Note that the missiles can still acquire frontal lock when the target ir signature becomes strong enough. Added new skin: Croatia 2014
DCS A-10C Fixed roll induced sideslip with SAS on.
DCS Su-27 Cockpit stick animation angles corrected.
DCS F-5E-3 Fixed incorrect rockets release with 60 ms interval set via kneeboard.
Mi-8MTV2 Joystick input for AI gunners panel added.
Su-25T Training missions texts showtime reduced.

Can anyone see the point of disconnecting Steam keys from their own stuff?

Can anyone see the point of disconnecting Steam keys from their own stuff? Please note that the DCS: M-2000C, and all future DCS World DLC releases on Steam, will now use Steam Keys instead of Starforce keys. As such, these purchases cannot be activated on the DCS World e-Shop version. Previous purchases will not be affected. As to why the change to Steam Keys for future releases, there are three primary reasons:
1- Our partners at Valve/Steam have strongly encouraged us to do so over the past year. 2- Use of credit card fraud to purchase keys for gray market sales has steadily grown. 3- From the beginning, there has been a lot of unhappiness with the use of StarForce keys for our Steam DLC purchases.
Again, this only affects the M-2000C and future Steam DLC projects. It does NOT affect any existing sales. For example: past and future purchases of A-10C, FC3, F-15C, etc, are not affected by this.

Ok, so if the Mi-8 goes on sale on Steam next I can still buy the key, NOT install through Steam but use the key top activate via my Non-Steam version of DCS?

Even if Valve was nagging ED, they shouldn't have listened. I suspect 'strongly encouraged' is a euphemism for 'do it if you want to distribute anything else on Steam'

As to why the change to Steam Keys for future releases, there are three primary reasons:
1- Our partners at Valve/Steam have strongly encouraged us to do so over the past year. - Obviously. This means Steam takes a cut of the sale, so more money for them. Still does not explain why they're disconnecting a Steam key from their own e-Shop versions.
2- Use of credit card fraud to purchase keys for gray market sales has steadily grown. - I thought this has already been "solved" by limiting which keys they'll honor? Again, does not explain the disconnect between Steam and e-Shop.
3- From the beginning, there has been a lot of unhappiness with the use of StarForce keys for our Steam DLC purchases. - Really? I thought this was mainly from the MiG-21 module? I can see people asking questions about activating/deactivating keys during re-installs, but has anyone really ran out of keys (except MiG-21) during the normal course of them simming?

That is too bad. Means you can't gift someone a module anymore. Though a number of my modules aren't on Steam anyways, this will prevent me from buying anything DCS from them. Even if Valve was nagging ED, they shouldn't have listened. Buying a module or two off of Steam is great for people who just get into the game. If they become serious players it would be best if they transition to the standalone version, as it has more modules, beta/alpha, ect. +1 I remember years ago, stuff would get released on the store versions first, and Steam would get updated days later, maybe a week or more after the store version got updated and the excuse was "the patch has been released to Steam, but it's up to them to update their own servers to support the patch and get it out" or something like that. Is Steam "keeping up" now with the patches? This led to a lot of recommendations NOT to buy from Steam and buy direct from ED's store for 2 very good reasons -- 1) ED gets all the money and 2) customer gets patches as they are released and no need to wait.

I'm confused so with this change it will not be possible to buy a module on Steam and then use that key with the non-Steam version of the game? Correct, but only with respect to the Mirage and any other future Steam releases. Modules that have been available on Steam prior to this past Friday can still be purchased on Steam and used with the Standalone version.

as I said.....Nothing noteworthy to report You really are ungrateful, Winfield, aren't you? Do you not know how hard it was to remove that dark line near Laughlin? Do you know how hard it is to find an INVISIBLE object? INVISIBLE?!!?! That's a miracle by itself!! And don't forget all the other important fixes such as sun glare in mirrors, mirror reflections, texture fixes... we all know how game-breaking broken textures are!! Please try to show more appreciation for the work ED devs do in the future.
