In 1.2.4 they already have equal C, and poured almost the same. Here is a fresh script missiles from 1.2.4. You can insert it and test.

The nearest target we are moving to is decoupling of graphics and simulation into separate threads.

This is quite possible with the current codebase, without a major rewrite.

25 April 2013 Update

 

Dear all,

 

The past week or so has been more than a bit traumatic with the loss of a dear friend and our studio director has been away on travel in the US (in fact, meeting with me yesterday). One result of the meeting was him granting me much more freedom in how I can pass along information here. Earlier we had a more complex system of checks for public announcements that could slow things down dramatically. This will be changing in the form of weekly Friday updates starting next week.

 

Many of you are wondering and openly asking, "what's up with 1.2.4 and UH-1?!?" The BST UH-1H pre-purchase beta version is ready to go, but in order for it to work within DCS, we must release it concurrently with DCS ver. 1.2.4. Unfortunately, over the past week we had a few of A-level blocking bugs that prevented this from happening (like flares that had no effect on IR-guided missiles and ground units that would crazily warp around the map in network play). We think these have now been resolved and the 1.2.4 software is being retested. Once we are sure these have been resolved, both 1.2.4 and UH-1H will be released. Given the nature of bug hunting / extermination, I'm afraid that I cannot provide a release date.

 

While 1.2.4 has added several new features and fixed quite a few bugs, we do not pretend that it has cleaned up all outstanding issues, like performance impact from some types of cluster munitions. Such issues will continue to be worked on and addressed in 1.2.5 and beyond. 

 

Thanks,

Matt

In order to release 1.2.4, and thereby DCS: UH-1H Huey, several bugs were knowingly released in this version. However, the team is hard at work at resolving this ASAP and we plan to have an auto-update fix coming soon. In fact, there are several fixes already implemented in our internal code, but we ran out of time to get them into the 1.2.4 installers.

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.
