DCS: Mil Mi-8MTv2 Screenshots
DCS World 17 May 2013 Update

By Dave,

This week we released a new update to DCS, version 1.2.4.12179.160. This added a number of changes and fixes that can be found here: http://forums.eagle.....51&postcount=4
The team is already at work on a third and final update to version 1.2.4 that will address some additional pressing issues (increase stability, anti-radiation missile accuracy, A-10C RWR, and others) before moving on to version 1.2.5.
On the new product front, a lot of effort is now being devoted to the advanced flight models for the F-15C and the Su-27. In parallel, BST is working to finalize the UH-1H and they are already working on their Mi-8.
As for our F/A-18C Hornet, the new external model can already be seen in DCS World and work on the cockpit has been ongoing for quite a awhile. Once the last of the FC3 avionics bugs have been squashed, much of our avionics programming staff will move on to the Hornet.
We are also working on improving mission and campaign selection screens within the GUI for single missions, training missions and campaigns. See attached.

DCS World 03 May 2013 News Update

By Dave,
03 May 2013 Update
Well, the big news this week has of course been the release of DCS ver. 1.2.4, along with the first DCS module... DCS: UH-1H Huey! We've been really delighted with the reception of the Huey and that it has demonstrated that a talented partner can develop a module to the same standards of the other DCS modules. We hope this will put some of those concerns to bed.
In order to release the Huey and 1.2.4 this week, we ran out of time to include some additional changes/fixes into the installers. On Monday, we PLAN/HOPE to provide a 1.2.4 update with the following:
• Fixed hit point of shells in multiplayer that were independent of turret rotation on the server-side.
• Disabled the incomplete "Ultra High" visibility setting.
• Implemented the waiting screen for the Module Manager.
• Corrected helicopter exhaust effect.
• Fixed damage value for AI aircraft.
• Corrected invisible warehouses.
• Helicopter takeoff from ships corrected.
• Adjusted shell aiming.
• Adjusted infantry weapon accuracy.
• AK-74 assault rifle rate of fire has been corrected.
• Fixed lock ability for non-air defense units.
• Fixed "Emission Control" for radar units.
• Advanced options waypoint that allows air unit to fly to an assigned ground unit.
• Adjusted delay between manual gear changes for CA units.
• Fixed delay after launch of IR-guided missiles.
• Repair after mast bumping is now available.
• Fixed GUI button size errors.
• Fixed synchronization of ground units in network play.
After that, we will evaluate the most important remaining 1.2.4 bugs and do our very best to resolve as many of them as possible in 1.2.5. Work will also accelerate on development of DCS: F-15C and DCS: S-27. I hope to talk more about those next week.
Open beta of DCS: UH-1H Huey 1.2.4 Released

By Dave,

The UH-1 Iroquois, better known as the Huey, is one of the most iconic helicopters in the world. Indispensable in the Vietnam War, the Huey continues to serve in both military and civilian roles around the globe today. DCS: UH-1H features an updated model of the helicopter armed with rockets, gatling guns, and door gunner machine guns. The simulation offers both extreme realism in its flight and systems modeling as well as a variety of options to reduce the learning curve for new players, including an Easy flight mode. DCS: UH-1H provides multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunners. A handcrafted storyline campaign is included as well as a number of single missions and a training course.
