ATC Improvements

We acknowledge that the air traffic control environment needs improvement. One near-term effort to address this is a number of improvements to the ATC and takeoff and landing procedures. We plan to release these in DCS version 1.2.5.

- Establish orbit zones with fixed positions several km from the end of the runway.
- We have increased the landing rates.
- Aircraft taking off will now have a higher priority than landing aircraft.
- Out of fuel and damaged landing aircraft will have the highest priority.

Further ATC improvements will continue.

Work On New Rendering Technology Continues

The new Image Generator (IG) technology is currently in development and will be introduced to DCS World when it is ready. Elements of the new IG include:
- More detailed terrain.
- Better graphical effects
- Dedicated server
- DirectX 11 support
- Skeleton animation for infantry
