DCS 2.9.24.19998

Introduced new campaign: DCS: Mi-24 and Ka-50 Peacemaker Campaign by EAGLE86

DCS Core

AI Aircraft

• After destruction of the group leader during a task External cargo load the remaining group is flying at very low speed. Fixed.

• Adjusted Mosquito aiming logic for planning bombing attacks to avoid cases of ground collision or popping up too high

• AI Su-34 do not use drogue chute on landing - fixed.

• "Engage With" command results in wingman not responding to "Re-join Formation" command - fixed.

• After ordering a wingman to engage, sometimes he gets stuck in a circling pattern and refuses to rejoin after engaging the assigned target - fixed.

• Made special consideration for helicopter AI taking off from a separate FARP entity that was put inside the airfield zone of influence. (Advised best practice is to not put FARPs inside airfields)

AI ships

• Added missile loadout controls for Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke

Weapons

• Improved bombsight accuracy for submunition dispensers equipped with altimeter fuzes.

• AB 250, AB 500. Added bomblet fuze settings, fixed the dispersion pattern of AB 250 loaded with SD-2.

• SD-2. Implemented anti-disturbance functionality for Zünder 70B fuze, adjusted warhead parameters.

• Added fuze options for CBU-52 and M117.

• SAB-100, SAB-250. Reworked the operation sequence, added fuze options.

• Fixed a crash occurring whenever an active JATO device was destroyed.

• Rapier SAM. Adjusted rocket exhaust, added new flare-tracer block that matches reference

• Kh-25/29 and AGM-65 missiles. Limits have been introduced on linear and angular velocity of the target to prevent missiles from pursuing maneuvering aircraft.

• Mk-82AIRs collide with B-1B at release. Fixed.

• BetAB-500ShP. Premature detonation occurring when employed from certain aircraft - fixed.

• Corrected large caliber AAA shells' explosion effects

• Adjusted hardened aircraft shelters damage calculations for penetrators with different fuse settings.

• Reduced blast wave damage falloff for map objects

• Fixed crash after multiple GBU-43 bombs exploded simultaneously.

• AIM-9P,P5,JULI,L,M,X. Tweaked control delay for the missile family, now have 0.4 sec delay.

• Made AIM-9juli motor params match AIM-9P5 ones.

• GBU-24. Corrected flight dynamics (CFD based now), enabled g-bias, added canard animation.

DTC

• Fixed: GUI Error and empty Threat Tables in some cases for DTC.

• Fixed: GUI Error and empty Threat Tables after Delete for DTC.

• Fixed: Static objects invisible.

• Fixed: GUI Error when using the arrow in Airdrome tab for MiG-29A Fulcrum DTC.

• Fixed: The points on map aren't highlighted correctly via Steerpoint for MiG-29A Fulcrum DTC.

• Fixed: Highlighting in airfields tab works incorrectly for MiG-29A Fulcrum DTC.

Mission Editor

• Gun empties after changing status from 'Civil Plane' back to military - fixed.

• New advanced waypoint action “Disengage and RTB after formation loss” added for AI aircraft for tuning flight tolerance to losses before RTB is called.

• New advanced waypoint action “AI Runway Line Up” added for AI aircraft for enabling AI aircraft performing formation takeoff. AI will automatically adjust formation based on runway width and AI skill.

Features

• Dynamic cargo now set ON by default in warehouses in new missions

• Units that were loaded as cargo into aircraft will not be displayed on F10 map now

• Cargo disappears when unloaded from a helicopter even outside of the warehouse area in some cases - fixed.

• Cargo parachutes are not shown to the second client in multicrew or spectator in MP in some cases - fixed.

Scripting API

• Warehouse.getInventory() function not returning all items - partial fix added
