Introducing Mission State Save feature that will allow you to save mission states between mission play sessions. It is working with custom unprotected missions that you can make in mission editor to make any story for yourself and play it over several sessions and save meaningful mission parameters and events like destroyed units, date/time and current location of all aircraft and their waypoints etc. Mission state save generates a new .miz file which you can edit in the mission editor before continuing your story if needed. Dedicated server has a new .sav file type to support automatic mission state save and be less demanding on server administrator. This feature is WIP and initially aimed at the average user with no advanced mission scripting knowledge. We want to form its future updates based on your feedback and also add some support if possible that will be requested by community advanced content creators.

For more details about this feature, please see the Mission State Save guide (Mission State Save - ED Team - ED Forums) and quick guide video from SUNTSAG: https://youtu.be/O-Hd8K-x8AA

Known Issues:

  • We are aware about bug with oversized explosion craters appearing in some cases, it is very sporadic bug and we are working on debugging it
  • Automatic Mission State save for .sav missions on dedicated server when you stop or restart mission does not take into account clients/players current positions at the moment of save and just returns them at their starting points. Other manual save methods does account positions and save them.
  • While you are inside simulation there are some hotkeys combinations still active even when you are typing file name in dialogue window for the Mission Save file. Avoid using SHIFT+R to write capital R as it will also be read by simulation as a command that by default mapped to mission restart action. Best workaround is to not use capital letters for typing while in the dialogue window during the game.

DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics

  • Fixed: TGP tracking target has jitter. 
  • Fixed: Player IR missiles can see through player aircraft prior to launch.
  • Fixed: CCIP bombs consistently fall short from target.

DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics

  • Fixed: FCS compensation for speedbrake deployment is tied to the Airbrake EXTEND button, instead of the speedbrake position itself.
  • Fixed: Antenna elevation carat and B-sweep "swapped" in 1LOOK RAID.
  • Fixed: BRU-41 with 6 BDU-33 appears to create excessive drag.

DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics

  • Improved FСR synchronization. 
    Known synchronization bugs that we are working on:
    • FCR animation for all users (currently only displayed for helicopter host).
    • RMAP background (missing) on first client login if HOST scanned and stopped. With subsequent scan packets, everything is displayed for everyone.
  • Fixed: Position Hold oscillation:
    • When initially engaged, Position Hold can cause some large oscillations in attitude and lateral velocity. At times, the Position Hold can generate a ground speed in the opposite direction well beyond the initial position and velocity when initially engaged.
    • When disengaged, Position Hold seems to generate an erroneous input through the SCAS. For example, if the helicopter was in a stable and trimmed hover and the Force Trim/Hold Mode switch is pressed to the aft position to disengage Position Hold, the green SCAS indicator may jump aft, incurring a nose up attitude when such a movement was neither commanded nor necessary.
  • Fixed: RWR displays AI AH-64D FCR as "U" Unknown Fixed-Wing, even when AI AH-64D does not have FCR installed.
    • AH-64D FCR removed from AH-64D RWR classification library.
  • Fixed: HAI - The left wheel sinks into the ground upon landing.
  • Fixed: No fire zone NFZ desync in multicrew.
  • Fixed: RFHO target data erased when FCR selected as sight on FCR-equipped AH-64D.
  • Fixed: Firing RF missile using TADS is advancing FCR Next-To-Shoot (NTS) target.
  • Fixed: NTS is not sequencing when firing RF missile while FCR is selected sight.
  • Fixed: Cued LOS Reticle displaced downward in CPG HDU when FCR slaved to FXD.
  • Fixed: Displaying COM page on right MPD causes C/S> error on left MPD.
  • Fixed: De-selecting G/S on VIS page is enabling VSEL (T6) if a CPG underlay is selected.
  • Fixed: George CPG unit IFF label errors. Labels updated in the following manner:
    • Inappropriate characters removed.
    • Prevent overflow of characters outside of Target List.
    • Revised confusing nomenclature of some unit types.
  • Fixed: George CPG ranging behavior when employing gun.
    • When tracking a target with the gun actioned, George will continuously lase to ensure accurate ballistics calculations prior to firing.
    • George will only engage target within 2500 meters when in ROE FREE FIRE. May be overridden to engage out to full range of gun using Consent To Fire command.
  • Fixed: George CPG gun burst interval when firing gun in ROE FREE FIRE.
    • George will pause between bursts to wait for rounds to impact target before firing another burst. May be ordered to fire another burst early using Consent To Fire command.

DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics

  • Improved HUD Limited Refresh Rate (made airspeed, altitude and acceleration update rates fixed at a set refresh rate. As such, faster rates of change will result in skipped values. The acceleration updates are slightly faster than velocity and acceleration).
  • Improvement - Specific excess power. Based on user feedback, the difference in energy loss in the FM and E-M diagrams of instantaneous turn rates was noted. On the left edge (high angles of attack AoA >15 and low speeds below M<0.7), excessive energy loss (airspeed loss) was confirmed. On the right edge of the E-M diagram (M>0.7 and angles of attack AoA<15), there was noticeably insufficient energy loss. The left edge has been corrected, and energy loss has been reduced (closer to the reference points). Work on the right edge continues and will be resolved in a later update.

DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics

Improvement of the flight model and SCAS.

  • Improvement. The characteristic of the increase in the thrust of the main rotor has been refined in the speed range of 0-10 m/s (the helicopter's behavior at the moment of nose tilt to accelerate and when hovering after deceleration will become more realistic).
  • Improvement. There was overly sensitive yaw control.
    • The sensitivity of the control in the heading channel has been significantly reduced. Now the increase in angular velocity with a 1-inch pedal movement has been reduced by about 25%, which is beneficial for improving the comfort of control.
  • Improvement. There was overly sensitive pitch control.
    • The main rotor rotation characteristics in roll and pitch have been adjusted, which has slightly reduced the control sensitivity in the roll and pitch channels.
  • The VRS (vortex-ring state) phenomenon of the Main rotor. 
    • Additional game notification about the VRS phenomenon. The player has been given the option to turn on sound and visual notifications about the onset of the phenomenon and its progress. Enabling/disabling is carried out in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings.
    • The conditions for the occurrence of the VRS phenomenon on the Main rotor have been reworked. Now the Main rotor "entry" into the VRS phenomenon takes a little longer than before. In addition, the critical vertical descent speed that leads to the appearance of VRS is no longer a "strict" value, which increases the realism of “entering” in VRS mode.
    • During an autorotation landing with the engines running, the helicopter could previously have been in the VRS phenomenon. Fixed
  • Animation of the Main rotor cone tilt disappeared.
    • There was no reaction of the rotor cone to the deflection of the helicopter cyclic stick - Fixed
  • Helicopter SCAS.
    • When hovering with Position Hold enabled, a slight drift would sometimes occur - Fixed
    • Independent deactivation of roll and pitch channel in ATT-hold mode. For ATT-Hold mode, separate disabling has been added in the roll and pitch channels if the disabling conditions have occurred only in one of the channels (previously, both channels were disabled if the disabling conditions occurred only for roll, for example). Displayed on the controls  indicator.
    • The efficiency of the SCAS response has been increased when controlling the pilot and in the ATT-Hold (Position, Velocity, Attitude) mode family:
      • When controlling the pilot
      • the SCAS "blurs" the increase in angular velocity from the cyclic stick and pedals, thereby giving the pilot a little more time for piloting accuracy, which increases piloting comfort;
      • In the ATT-Hold mode family the SCAS reacts more sensitively to changes, trying to compensate for the deviation from the specified mode/parameter in the "bud".
  • Helicopter SCAS - known issues
  • When turning ON or OFF the Position-Hold  mode, several damped oscillations in roll and/or pitch may occur
  • Added AI George interface enhancements for color-blind players. May be selected in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings.
  • Modify the George-as-CPG interface.
  • Fixed: Graphic glitch with cockpit displays when George finds targets during new Area search.
  • Fixed: Enroute "Distance to Point" value calculated very wrong.
  • Fixed: FIRE MSLS and LASE # TRGT message errors.
  • Fixed: TADS camera clips through model.
  • Fixed; George AI sees the target through the fog.
