DCS News Update - 14 June 2013
El tema del ATC està genial, però suposo que el que més rumors generarà és la última part del IG: Servidor dedicat i esquelets per animacions de la infanteria.... ay ay ay
I per aquells que us costa seguir un enllaç us penjo directament el video del HAWK:

Gracies per la info. Sobre els models amb esquelet no crec que sigui per introduir quelcom ArmA, si no per els aparells que operen a baixa alçada com Huey, Kamov i el Combined Arms dona un aspecte mes creïble, i segurament ampliar les possibilitats, una distribució d'infanteria mes militar.
En qualsevol cas, tot sona genial, van poc a poc però be.

Next Stop... DCS Version 1.2.5
After the release of DCS version 1.2.4, we released multiple updates using our automatic updater. We are now moving towards the next major update, version 1.2.5. Our primary focus will be on improving game performance, addressing game play issues, and setting the stage for further modules.
Key features planned for version 1.2.5 include:
DCS World
Improvements to the ATC system.
New Tu-22M3 model. Images attached.
Further improvements to game stability.
Correcting module installation issues.
Resource manager: Corrected logistic links.
Resource manager: The value, speed and periodicity have been adjusted. Default supply speed is now 60 km/h.
Anti-radiation missiles: Added proximity fuses and adjusted accuracy.
Visual detection of a target for AI units will now also be a function of time. The time of detection depends on target distance, aspect angle, and the presence of already detected targets nearby.
When a target is no longer visible, the AI aircraft will use the target’s last known position and velocity to search for it.
Added "STOP TRANSMISSION" trigger action.
AI behavior option "DISPERCE UNDER FIRE" now has new parameter - dispersion delay.
Added new AI behavior option - "RTB ON OUT OF AMMO".
Added more tooltips to the Mission Editor.
Message filter for Lock On aircraft: RShift+\.
Added several new constants (AI) and functions (trigger, Controller) in the Simulator Scripting Engine (SSE).
Detection of radars by RWR has been reworked to make player and AI systems equal.
The parking spaces for Anapa and Krymsk airbases have been corrected.
Su-25T: The gun funnel has been adjusted.
Added new Su-27 skins.
Several factors governing air to air missiles have been adjusted.
Updated airbase charts from www.10thGunfighters.de and www.ariescon.com
Fixed input deadlock.
M256 HEAT ballistics corrected.
Improved fire and smoke of aircraft fragments.
Improved material of flares.
Adjusted logbook data accounting. Especially in complex cases with multiple changes of aircrafts in one sortie.
Mission Editor: Added briefing picture dialog. If file contain inappropriate symbols in the name, GUI Error appears.
The broken input after exporting to HTML is fixed.
DCS: UH-1H Huey
Tuned the "mast bumping" effect. The rotor is now very hard to break off while on the ground.
The UH-1H manuals and readme have been updated.
Fixed UH-1H training files.
Sound samples path has been updated.
Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3
Added advanced Flight Model (AFM) for the A-10A.
Su-25: Bombs falling short when using CCRP has been fixed.
Su-25: Turning ON the laser rangefinder no longer causes the targeting cross to jump outside the gunsight.
F-15: Crash or freeze in the F-15C when on the ramp when changing HUD Modes are fixed.
F-15: Negative airspeed values should now correctly display on the HUD airspeed tape.
The FC3 installation check has been fixed.
“Betty” voice warnings now use native language.
The cockpit view system has been adjusted. Looking behind the aircraft will no longer give an impossible view angle.
Remaining issues for some FC3 aircraft like CCRP, EOS, and F-15C landing issue will be addressed. Right now our staff is quite overloaded with other, higher priority items.
Performance of air-to-air missiles continues to be adjusted. The primary area we will now be tuning is the counter measure performance against air to air missiles.
DCS: Black Shark 2
Ka-50 EKRAN refactoring.
DCS: Combined Arms
Adjusted the machine gun sights for several vehicles.
Updated and New Units
The Next Eagle Dynamics DCS Modules
Later this year, we will offer:
A-10A: DCS Flaming Cliffs
Su-25: DCS Flaming Cliffs
F-15C: DCS Flaming Cliffs
Su-27: DCS Flaming Cliffs
These modules will feature:
1- Detailed 3D model (high polygon / high res textures)
2- 6 DOF cockpit
3- Advanced Flight Model (AFM)
4- Same level of cockpit system detail as the Lock On: Flaming Cliffs aircraft
We plan to release each at $19.99 USD.
We are releasing these modules for the following reasons:
1- It allows users access to these aircraft that do not own, or want to own, Lock On.
2- It allows users to buy just the aircraft they are interested in, without having to purchase the full Flaming Cliffs product.
3- It allows us to make these aircraft available to a much larger audience on Steam, Origin, GameFly and other digital retailers.
We have not yet come to a decision regarding the availability of the new advanced flight models to the FC3 aircraft. While there is discussion of making this available as an FC3 upgrade at a lower cost than the full module, I can say with confidence that they will not be made available for free given the large time and financial investment. When a final decision is made we will make an announcement.
Other FC3 aircraft will be improved as well (like the Su-27, Su-25, F-15C and A-10A). When they are further along, we will discuss them.
We will develop a balance of lighter "DCS Flaming Cliffs" modules with more detailed/realistic "DCS" modules. The "DCS Flaming Cliffs" modules allow us to develop the more detailed "DCS" titles in a more iterative way. As such, we will continue to develop detailed simulation like A-10C. The next such "DCS" title will be F/A-18C.
Improved Visual Effects
We understand that some of the visual effects (particularly for weapons like cluster bombs) are causing a significant performance reduction for some. We are now in the process of adjusting the effects to work in the new Image Generator (IG) that we believe will alleviate this issue.
Speaking of new effects, we are working on new/improved wing tip vortices. I've attached a work in progress image.

5 Juliol 2013
Work on testing and debugging of DCS ver. 1.2.5 continues. Depending on how debugging goes, we hope to release 1.2.5 sometime in July 2013.
Our efforts to update some of the older models continues. Given the number of units in DCS, and that there are many legacy models (some dating all the way back to the original Lock On), this is a long and ongoing process. One new model that we have heard many of you asking about is the Su-33. I've attached some very early work-in-progress renders of the new Su-33 model. We have no release ETA for this yet.

12 July 2013 - DCS News Update
This past week we have primarily been debugging DCS ver. 1.2.5. Progress is being made and it is still our hope to have it released before the end of this month. This is quite a large update, so naturally it is taking longer to debug than the earlier, smaller updates.
Other parts of our team are working on new elements for Combined Arms. Two of many new features includes a radar display for radar-guided air defense systems and more realistic fire control systems for armored units. I've attached an early work in progress image of the new radar display.
To better support new title like UH-1H and the upcoming Mi-8MTv2 helicopters, we are also developing the means for infantry to load and unload from them. We believe this will add a whole new level of game play for those modules.
Our effect artists are busy improving many effects for both their visual appeal and performance. As mentioned last week, one example are new wing tip vortices. As more are completed, I will be sure to post them in future updates.
Yesterday, Steam started their Summer Sale that includes both A-10C and Black Shark:
