DCS: A-10C Warthog 1.1.0.8 Patch Available
Download from: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.co...ch_1.1.0.8_en/
Notes:
1- Because of an update to the copy protection, one activation will be used when installing the patch. However, one new activation will be added to your account.
2- In order to address game instability and dropped textures when using 32 bit OS systems, some graphic options had to be disabled.
3- HARS navigation is on by default at ramp start, so you will not have Total Velocity Vector (TVV) until you switch to EGI.

Reticle slew commands in MAV ADJ mode are applied now only if maverick is SPI.

Έχουν και review του DCS BlackShark από πιλότο Apache, ο οποίος λέει τα καλύτερα για τον εξομοιωτή:sungsam έγραψε:Και για όσους δεν έχουν πάρει μυρωδιά τι εστί DCS A10C, ας δουν τι γράφει το The Royal Aeronautical Society που δεν συνηθίζει να αφιερώνει στήλες για computer flight simulations.

Η κριτική (review ελληνιστί) εδώ
κάτι μου βρωμάει όμως στις αναβαθμίσεις και τα compatibility τους, μήπως είναι το περιβάλλον που παραμένει βαρύ και δεν αλλάζει; στην αρχή ωραίο δε λεω, καυκασος φάση, Poti και άλλα τρελά. Χρειάζεται αλλαγή ο κόσμος ρε κομραντς. ΑΛΛΑ ΡΕ ΦΙΛΕ,ΑΚΟΜΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΙΣ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΕΣ τις κάνεις στο ίδιο σημείο; τι να πω,το συνήθισα φαίνεται απο το fc2. Στο BS δε, ήταν στην αρχή ένας ωραίος απέραντος κόσμος με ένα αργό όχημα. Απολάμβανες και τα πιο προσεγμένα textures.
..χμ ακόμα κατι είναι και δεν το βρίσκω...
!!!
οι εκρήξεις και όλα τα αναλώσημα(λολ) αντικείμενα πλην του α/φους δεν θα μπορούσε να ήταν πιο προσεγμένα. Και οι καπνοί απο το έδαφος, και μερικά ίχνη καπνού απο χτυπημένα μαχητικά, που έχουν τελείως ακυρη κλήση,τα πυρα εν πτησει και κάτι τέτοια που θα το ανέβαζαν πολύ.

Όχι μην φοβάσαι, και αλλάζει και προστίθενται νέα futures !
Υπάρχουν και σε εξέλιξη τα παρακάτω:
19 August 2011 Update
Sorry for the long drought in updates. Current the team is mostly focused on the Black Shark update, the next A-10C patch, the Nevada terrain, and our next DCS aircraft. Speaking of the Nevada terrain, here are a few new images that highlight the dynamic terrain shadowing system of our new terrain engine being used for Nevada, Eagle Dynamics Terrain Engine (EDGE).
Hope you like them.
Thanks,

Λέτε να το πάθουμε το καρδιακό με κανένα DCS: F-16C;
...ας μην παρασυρόμεθα... ψυχραιμία...

Windows: A 32 bit extension and graphical shell,
for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system, originally
coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit
company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition. Good thing
there's not any.

Μακαρι βέβαια!
Λοιπόν,
Ο Matt Wagner (Producer, TFC/Eagle Dynamics ) έχει ανακοινώσει ότι θα είναι US Fixed Wing Fighter αλλά δεν λέει ακόμα πιο !
Αυτά που παίζουν είναι: F16/18 Τέλος ! Αυτό δημιουργεί κάθε λογής εικασίες, φήμες, διαδώσεις ακόμα και η συντέλεια του κόσμου έχει προβλεπττεί !
Θα έπαιζε και το F15 αλλά δεν είναι Fixed Wing. Είναι μεταβαλλόμενης γεωμετρίας σωστά ?
Αυτό που περιμένω είναι το νέο Nevada theater με dynamic terrain shadowing. Η σκίαση θα αλλάζει ανάλογα την θέση του ήλιου στην διάρκεια της ημέρας.
