Not sure if there is already a thread about "weekly" updates but I didnt found it so I think it would be nice to have in ShQ a discussion thread for updates so we can talk about them.

todays update is:

DCS 2.0.5.3140 Update 2

Introduced new F-5E ACM campaign by Maple Flag.

DCS World
MP. Repairing client no longer causes crash. Fixed an occasional crash that could occur when restarting mission. Other stability improvements.
AIM-7M. DLZ of AIs corrected.
Fix of lift ground effect under objects.
AI fighters will attack helicopters with the close range AA missiles.
Fixed an older issue where AI vehicles are unable to find a road if the first on road waypoint isn't placed on a road.
Invalid number of chaff/flares in rearming menu fixed.
BetAB-500ShP. Corrected a rocket motor flame position.
S-24 rocket. Corrected a rocket motor flame volume.
ME. Advanced actions - perform command - transmit message locale bug is fixed.
Encyclopedia. Some updates and bugfixes.
The midair crashes (feel like invisible obstacles) of aircraft near Nellis fixed.

DCS C-101 by AvioDev
Fixed auto startup sequence. No more BLOC.CAB announcement after autostart.
Fixed main wheels coordinates, wheel smoke will be shown correctly now.
Fixed helmet visor texture (removed banding).

DCS M-2000C by RAZBAM
POL mode bug fixed. Now all weapons safetied when in POL mode.
D2M keybinds fixed.
Minor changes to FM.

DCS Flaming Cliffs
Bomb-fall line on russian aircraft HUD will not be flashing.
Su-27. Corrected wheel brakes. Added new command for brakes - LShift+W.

DCS Combined Arms
Tunguska (SA-19). The auto-sighting when stabilization is on corrected.

DCS Mi-8MTV2
Camera shake cockpit feature were added
6 basic checklists were added in the voice-over mode of the AI crew and with the waiting of the user's actions (RU locale only a while).
R-828 sound commutation fixed in according with SPU rotary switch.
SPU - max volume at hot start.
DC rotary switch in BATT BUS position by default at hot start.

Sadly, some critical issues still not fixed because we can't reproduce them and find a reason. However, we still working on it and hope to resolve these issues ASAP.
Known issues:
M-2000C: Significant performance drop with enabled mirrors when canopy is opened or jettisoned.
MiG-21bis: Significant performance drop when other aircraft placed nearby.
L-39 engine stops right after entering the mission.
L-39 starts perpendicular to RWY.
A-10C Crash when battery switch is used from cold start.
F-15C control axis don't work.
Bf-109, Spitfire - some gauges don't work.
F-5 Freezes DCS completely, CTD, regardless if in the air or ground.
DCS сrashes when Shilka hits a FC3 plane.


The LoD, mesh and texture problems are still there and seems like ED still not saying a single word about them...

I'm so glad I bought this module when all that was wrong with it was the helmet textures, smoke positioning and the auto startup sequence. I'm so glad they're working so hard on my purchase.


DCS Kickstarter
Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable."
Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

Priorities. Like Normandy over 2.5.
How many people are waiting for Normandy? As opposed to those waiting for 2.5?

F-5 works for me both off and online. I actually joined a server(which I never normally do . Offline only usually must be 15 years since I played online) and managed to start the F-5 and take off. It's a strange one.
But I agree promoting an F-5 campaign when there a re obviously some issues with it does seem a bit strange.

But the again

It does say "we can't reproduce them" which means it's not all users experiencing these given problems.
I don't know how many people are seeing them.

I mean, "F-15C control axis don't work." and "A-10C Crash when battery switch is used from cold start" seem like things that a LOT of people would be complaining about if it was widespread.

Irrelevant. We all know how ED picks which bugs they want to tackle and which ones they've chosen to ignore --- and we all know that the ability to reproduce a bug isn't the criteria for working on it biggrin

Do you have a counterpoint or is word nitpicking the best you can do?

I think suffice to say it represents enough opinions to be valid. Now about that counterpoint.... was there one?

Yeah!, I know biggrin ...but even then, it would be great to be able to freely discuss about updates in a REAL way, not as in other forums where the only things you will find about new updates are "selectively ignored bugs" (God, thats a really accurate way of describing it Ice yep ) in the bugs sub forums and/or just people congratulating because its the "day for updates", even if the update is just a pile of crap or there is no update at all rofl ... meanwhile here, we can discuss how they decided that fixing things like "Encyclopedia. Some updates and bugfixes" was a priority over the utterly broken (for 5/6 months) 2.0 version which hasnt even been acknowledged by devs (f**k logic!!).

When you say we, you should qualify who you mean by that. You obviously don't speak for the forum, however at this point it is impossible to know even who you *think* you speak for.

I'm sorry but if I have to explain to you who or what "we" means, well, I don't have the time, patience, or the crayons for what you want me to do.

Feel free to replace "we" with "I" if it bothers you that much, then I invite you to tackle the remainder of the post, the actual CONTENT of the post. Try to stop focusing on that one word if it confuses you that much and move on. Otherwise, good luck with your strawman argument.

No you don't know how ED decides anything. You might profess to know, but you don't. You may think that reproducing a bug has nothing to do with fixing it, but you would be wrong since knowing the cause of a bug is actually quite important with regard to fixing it.

There, I ignored your poor command of the language and addressed the points that you attempted, badly, to make.

Wow... took you two days to come up with that? My "command of the language" (a 2nd language at that!... or maybe fourth... do different dialects count??) must be really, really poor then. Please cite where else I've gone wrong other than your strawman "we" nitpick, that I may learn the language even better.

As for your counterpoint, again, do I have to draw you a picture for you to understand it? There are bugs in this sim that are easily reproduced and have been around for YEARS... therefore, the ability to reproduce a bug is not the criteria for working on a fix for the said bug. I've never said "reproducing a bug has nothing to do with fixing it"... nice try for another strawman argument though.

Let's now see how long it takes you this time. No pressure.
