DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics
- Fixed: HARM Target handed off in HAS mode gets frozen relative to missile’s seeker boresight
- Updated ACM BORE HMCS logic. Hold TMS Forward to slave radar to HMCS line-of-sight and display the ellipse. When TMS Forward is released, the radar will attempt to lock the nearest contact within the ellipse out to 10 nm.
DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics
- Fixed: gear automatically deploying in some cases when multicrew is used (Petrovich shenanigans).
DCS: Black Shark 2 by Eagle Dynamics (Features added in last patch DCS 2.8.0.32066 Open Beta 2022-10-28 but not mentioned)
- Changes in the flight dynamics model include the implementation of the engine gas-dynamic instability during rocket launch from the inboard launchers, at hover, and at low speeds. This is due to hot rocket gases sucked in the air intakes, which can lead to a thrust drop, surge, and shutdown of the engines.
- Added delay up to 2 seconds for ATGM Vikhr launch sequence.
- SHKVAL screen textures changed to achieve more authentic “green” look
DCS: MB-339 by IndiaFoxtEcho
- Fix - Canopy not locked in auto start procedure
- Fix - Out Of Range exception
- Improved external 3D model UV Mapping
- Fix warning lights illumination
- Fix on campaign mission 4 for end mission
- Fix on voiceover training mission Ripple MK82
- Fix on safety pin landing shutdown
- Fix on A/A mission
- Improved static force and damping nosewheel
DCS: SA-342 by Polychop Simulations
- Added functionality to ripple switch on weapons panel
DCS: JF-17 by Deka Ironwork Simulations
- New: Brand new integrated configuration panel GUI
- Apply laser code change, DTC config, AAR probe install/remove etc by one click
- Open it via radio menu → ground crew → configuration panel
- Added: campaign mission 11 and 12. Now campaign is completed
DCS: AV-8B by Razbam
- Fixed: Dedicated server crash when the aircraft dumps fuel
- F10 MAP designation rework.
- a. Now it is not required to create an unlabeled Marker. Marker Label must now say ‘#TPn’ where n is a number.
- b. In MP environment it will only load the Markers created by the pilot.

DCS: M-2000C by Razbam
- Fixed: Dedicated server crash when the aircraft dumps fuel
DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges
Systems:
- Complete autopilot rework (BIP trim fix will be included in next update):
- AP is now less aggressive in altitude hold mode.
- Included radionavigation G and R modes that allow interception of a radial and following an ILS approach.
- Corrected AP engagement and mode logic, as well as light logic.
- Route commutation unit selected radial no longer affects ILS.
- Artificial horizon radionavigation bars behaviour adjusted according to manuals.
- Backup ADI bank index now animated (pending to fix incorrect bank indication).
- IDN distance selector can no longer exceed its limits.
- IDN: In TT and TE modes, now the narrow needle does not move with the rest of the IDN assembly
- Fixed radio presets not allowing integers.
Inputs:
- Added YAW position to Yaw/Anti-slip switch and renamed the switch up position from ON to ANTI-SLIP in control inputs.
3D model:
- Updated EQ liveries for Iraq.
- Fixed missile floating when the wing is damaged.
