Bug Fixes and Adjustments:

[size=150][color=#FF0040]DCS World

Network code improved for greater stability.[/color][/size]


Note: Although many improvements and optimizations have been made, we still highly recommend 16 player limit when hosting complex missions. Depending on the exact composition of the mission, the bandwidth and number of players that a host may accommodate will vary. As always though, clients must be aware of their ping times (often influenced by connection distance to host) as this can cause warping and other connection issues.

Fixed multiplayer data link for Russian aircraft.
Fixed Force Feedback joystick trim problems.
Tuned aircraft gun smoke.
Fixed Set Path to Column formation.
Fixed Georgian soldier animation.
Fixed long range radar break-lock for Russian aircraft.
AIM-120 and R-77 maximum load factor increased to 40g.
R-77 data adjust. Thrust, lift and drag.
AIM-120 data adjusted. Lift and drag.

Decreased the damage value of modern AA missiles warheads from directional to enhanced. Earlier AIM-120 and R-77 had a warheads with large multiplier factor termed "directional". These missiles were very lethal, more so than even an S-300. It was not realistic and we decided replace "directional" warhead with the less power "enhanced" warhead.
Number of simultaneously guided AIM-120s is 4 for F-15, F-16 and F-18.
Number of simultaneously guided AIM-54 is 4 for F-14.

Bravo Emy.....
Ho perso tempo ad aggiornare la pagina FB e mi hai battuto qui sul forum

ECCOLA!

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/i ... ct&lang=en

[Viper 69°]

Grazie, procedo al download, ma non installo nulla; fatemi sapere come intendete precedere.

[flap]

Anche io procedo al downolad. Non ho capito se funge l'autouptade o se bisogna riscaricare tutto da capo, al primo tentativo l'autouptade mi ha iniziato a scaricare qualcosa ma dopo è andato in errore, idem al secondo tentativo, Heater sul forum ha scritto che al momentola ED sta preparando l'autouptade io comunque, riscarico la versione full dal sito tanto per averla disponibile in caso ci siano problemi.

[Pegaso]

Io direi che è meglio scar il pacchetto intero e reinstallare tutto!!!
Forse essendo troppo a ridosso del giovedi di volo (28) credo sia melgio se la provate voi svolazzatori del weekendmix (il prox sabato 2 marzo... se volerete) e quindi per questo giovedi 28 usare la vecchia versione?!!
Così nell'eventualità che vada tutto been ci sono 10 giorni per aggiornare e quindi non ci saranno scuse che tengono per il giovedi 7 marzo (il prox volo ufficiale dedicato ad A10)
Se tutto va bene domenica lo mettiamo in homepage (Mimmo sa come si fa io faccio casino... grazie mimmo)

[flap]

Troppo tardi dopo aver riavviato il pc ho eseguito l'autouptade andato stavolta a buon fine. Penso che il tars non funzioni.

[flap]

Confermo per il momento il tars non funziona, quindi sarebbe meglio non aggiornare, io purtroppo non ho resistito.

[Nightmare]

Capisco il problema del TARS, ma gli aggiornamenti ed i miglioramenti sono tali e tanti che non possiamo ignorarli.
In questo caso credo che i Benefici siano maggiori dei problemi al TARS......
Tanto poi li risolveranno noo?

[Pegaso]

Quindi?! si aggiorna o per domani sera restiamo con la vecchia????
va deciso entro le 12 di oggi così stasera tutti avremo tempo e modo di aggiornare

[Nightmare]

Flap....
Per la questione del TARS hai avuto modo di provare questa soluzione che ti hanno indicato sul forum DCS?

If somebody is missing the export.lua and can not get HELIOS,Tars, icontrol to work, here is what you need to do:

___________________________________________________________________________________

I came across 1.2.3 with no HELIOS working anymore. Here is what you have to do.

Go to Game directory/scripts and copy export.lua

Paste it in Game directory/config/export/export.lua

Do your typical script update through HELIOS (Export.lua in the directory config/exports gets modified)

Copy the file export.lua back to Game directory/scripts

Create a new folder in USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS named "Scripts"
Copy again export.lua in that specific folder.

Now it should all work. At least it did on my setup.

Good luck and happy landings.

se tu sei daccordo... aggiorniamo!!!!
quindi se hai 10 minuti puoi metterlo in homepage oppure fare un post in modalità importante
Non so Anto che ne pensa e se ha seguito il post... gl mando un PM su questo link con sms al seguito
tu pensa alla notizia per favore.. con il fattore home page sei più avvezzo di me... sempre che ti vada di metterla li altrimenti fai un post dedicato... insomma vedi tu
Il fattore princiaple è che coloro che vorranno volare domani sera dovranno averlo aggiornato.. fine della storia

[marlboro]

Penso.... che come al solito prima fate e poi pensate........... Rinunciare alla radio secondo me è cosa importante, è su falcon e non su A10 ? Comunque sia voi siete quelli che vi divertite con A10 ed è giusto che lo facciate col maggior risultato possibile.
Quindi per me aggiornate pure. Mimmosky passa in HP la notizia ma se fossi in voi mi prenderei una settimana di tempo per fare le cose come Cristo comanda, questo come consiglio perchè poi domani sera non volate và a finire. Comunque per me ok aggiornate.
