Most liveries will look too glossy until they have custom RoughMet textures applied. This will happen over the next few DCS World updates. Our in-house Mistral ATAM has been replaced by ED’s which is very susceptible to flares. Mistral ATAM tubes protective cap not yet animated DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges Short range IR missiles: Fixed AIM-9J lock-on audio not being heard. Sidewinder missile will not perform SEAM (scan pattern) anymore as this mode was not implemented in the real F1. 'Cannon 600/Identification P' throttle button will now uncage Sidewinder missiles (except AIM-9B). If no target was detected at this moment, the seeker head will drift randomly following the background IR heat. The seeker will return to the boresight once the 'Cannon 600/Identification P' button is released. I.e. if a target is tracked, the button must be held pressed to keep the seeker on the target. AIM-9JULI launch delay was reduced to 0.4 seconds (AIM-9B/P/J still have 0.8 seconds). Magic 1 and 2 scan now is a 5 degrees wide rectangular pattern. Fixed Magic missile scan pattern. Sometimes the scan pattern size was excessively increased. Updated Magic missiles instantaneous seeker FOV. It is now 3.4 degrees wide. Wingtip missile energization switch now always spawns in ON position. Wingtip missile cooling time increased. Flight model and control system: Adjusted yaw damper response (both amplitude and frequency). Adjusted wake turbulence behaviour. Now the aircraft won’t be so much affected by turbulence in yaw. Autopilot: Fixed control stick slow jitter in some situations when AP was connected. Fixed autopilot roll issues that caused disconnection in MP (and in SP after a longer time). Gyroscope system fixes: Fixed bug that impeded full alignment of the gyros if the Gyro mode switch is moved out of stop before the aircraft has AC power. Gyro failure overhaul: Added new gyroscope related failures. Fixed general gyroscopic central failure (it now works as described in the manual’s failures section). Changed CAP (heading) failure light logic to no longer depend on the attitude gyroscope state. Various systems changes: Fixed missing decimals in loaded radio presets. Increased alternator overheating time. BARAX lights test logic will be always working now, disregarding the system test status. INS overhaul (first step): Improved alignment steps and precision in all modes. Accelerating during alignment now generates a malfunction in the INS and requires full realignment. Fixed ALCM mode. Corrected oxygen test logic to follow manual description. Now the needle moves from full to empty to full again until the test button is depressed. Fixed oxygen indication energization logic. Now, when pressing the OXY TEST button, the oxygen indicator will be energized by the emergency AC bus 1 instead of the main AC bus 2, thus allowing the oxygen level to be read with the engine off. Fixed Standby Horizon attitude reference symbol movement with keyboard inputs. Fixed initial position of the ejection seat clickspot before it is pressed for the first time. 3D model and textures: Fixed the size of white dots in the Autopilot control panel. Fixed circuit breaker label (C de GYRO circuit breaker was incorrectly called NAV). Improved BR-250 bomb texture. Fixed the spherical indicator, it now shows the correct pitch attitude. Fixed the standby horizon, it now shows the correct pitch attitude. Miscellaneous: Updated the Flight Manual. Updated the startup training mission: Highlighted the NWS high sensitivity button. Specified that the "I" key on the keyboard sets the throttle to idle. Added PHIMAT chaff pod to versions CT, CR, ED, BD, EQ, BQ. (Only visual for now). Added Stick Hide/Unhide keybind. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev AIM-9M launch delay was reduced to 0.4 seconds. Magic 1 and 2 scan now is a 5 degrees wide rectangular pattern. Fixed Magic missile scan pattern. Sometimes the scan pattern size was excessively increased. Updated Magic missiles instantaneous seeker FOV. It is now 3.4 degrees wide. Fixed missing decimals in loaded radio presets. Fixed startup training mission (EN, ES and CN). The aileron control test trigger should now work.

Incorrect mass of payloads - fixed MP. 2011 version instead of 2022 when looking at other clients - fixed Rotor gearbox sounds updated DCS: Combined Arms by Eagle Dynamics Fixed - Player can't use HE shells in the second stage if in the first stage set 0 HE shells. Fixed - "Zero-sight" mask in iso-view IR or NVG on MBT Abrams. Campaigns The Enemy Within 3.0 Campaign by Baltic Dragon: General. Fixing typos, updates to briefings etc. Mission 01.
