DCS Surprise UPDATE | Viper FM Change & FIX | CH-47 TRIM | South Atlantic Winter

[@robertthomason7619]

Hope they'll give some of the red ai models a face-lift. The Mig-23, SU-17/22, and Bear bombers look SO dated.

[@therocinante3443]

Not knowing about the Chinook trim options changing, I had quite a funny moment in Grayflag after taking off lol

[@jr0815_aka_gulredrel]

Thanks for the update video. Enjoying the South Atlantic winter textures.

[@alexandermiller9386]

So reading newsletters & changelogs became a video content now! Very impressive how you guys do this!

The F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations update notes from the DCS 2.9.11.4686 patch. Released on the 24th December 2024. These notes did not make it to the ED patch notes in time, due to the staff being on holiday for Christmas. Significantly improved TWS: Improved track combining and splitting Fixed tracks shooting off at high speed strange angles Fixed tracks under missile attack being trashed when combined Link4C improvements: Fixed auto address on kneeboard working away from ground crew Fixed rx/tx enabled on old frequency after frequency change Fixed Link4C in multicrew Prioritize transmitted Link4C tracks Increased displayable Link4C tracks to accommodate all participants (4+1 each, max 3 others in net)

I'm so happy the apache got the yaw fixed. You pretty much had to have a perfect take off and landing, if you didn't you'd do a nice roll over. Don't get me wrong I got really good at these take off and landings but I'm happy there is finally a fix.

[@Swanny.31]

Thank you for another great video! Grateful for all your hard work! Happy to hear you had a great Christmas, and I hope you have a wonderful New Year’s celebration with your loved ones 🎉🎉🎉

[@aviationstuff-vb4rw]

To get Bardufoss in the Kola map was a real Christmas surprise gift :-) However, it still lack LOTS of airports, especially in Norway. Three large ones ones: Alta, Tromsø and Evenes are still not there. Then there are about 20 regional airports spread along the coast there which are all but existing. Well, 20 +- depending on what time period actually is modelled (I guess some cold war-ish time period?) Another annoying thing is the color of the center line on roads. It is yellow in Norway. With time I guess :-)

[@gappleton8255]

You do a great job here, Andrei! Have a Happy New Year!

[@thomasfreimuller4470]

Thanks for all your update videos, it‘s always a pleasure to watch them 😁👍🏻

[@loudmaster98]

TOP content, even during Winter Holidays, you guys rock!

[@thomas_ger4098]

George and Petrovich are not only unable to see targets in fog, there must be a bug with the latest update that causes George to do not see anything at all. Hoping for a fix

[@SQUID_2259]

A.C. great video as always my friend! ED announced in a news letter this morning that it will be the last patch of the year. The last thing we'll get at some point is the 2025 and Beyond video. Happy New Year from the states!

[@cadet5126]

long awaited chinook Trim hat. this is what was needed and i was able enjoy watching the video knowing my trim set kept the hook in a stable cruise for 26nm flight from airfield to FARP

[@Redtail_Pilot]

More proof that ED is as passionate about their product as they say they are... and we are! 🙂 Happy New Year to all.

[@nateweter4012]

In the words of the Ghost of Christmas Present: “Such a meager feast, BUT very much appreciated!” That is to say, these are very nice quality changes that are very appreciated. Those little things you will enjoy noticing while playing. Cheers and Happy New Year from Mo, USA!

[@CollinHansen-v2n]

Would love to get the body fitted external fuel tanks on the f-16 added.

[@Boomer25wa]

Merry Christmas !!!! Happy New Year to you and your family Andrei, and thanks for all your great videos.

[@sp00f64]

Thanks for the nice visuals and updates!

[@sloppydog4831]

The Apache changes were substantial and really made the module much much better.

[@ricbish]

Noice! Great update guys! I’m glad you went over the list of updated things because I didn’t know about a lot of those! I skimmed over the list too fast I guess! I hope you and the fam had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I look forward to watching more of your content ‘ In the Future’ (Deep Andre voice there) 😂The Colonel & I love your show so keep up the great work & we gotta try and fly together one of these days!!

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Super News Andrei 🌟 Thanks

[@Carlos27thFS]

I love how every pilot talks about how dominating the F16 Viper is in a guns dogfight. With its notorious onset gloc if the pilot is not careful with initial pull. Yet ED has this jet flying with the quickness of a mack truck making a u-turn.

[@viruspter1dactl]

Yeah really if they just gave it the rate performance pilots say it would actually stand a chance. Pilots go on and on about a 26 degree rate and how nothing would ever beat it in a rate fight yet in game in one of the worst lol.

[@Fox3-Luck]

Good update AC, thank you

[@taylorlatcham]

Love the vids mate, keep them coming!

[@Tome4kkkk]

What about other cruft like C-130? Are there some mods to replace the fugly AI models?

[@jayphoenix2709]

All looks good doesn't it.. That's about as good as it gets.

[@ZigzagEnd]

what does left edge excessive energy loss mean? like the left wing had more drag than it should?

[@gradycdenton]

0:07 who let Drake and Future into the server room?

[@jaromirandel543]

For those who have same issue like I do - game freezing when selecting aircraft in MP lobby - try to uninstall Nvidia App.

[@HansTheilLuiz]

They could release another "surprise" patch, fixing the F-5E 😂😂 it's unplayable after the patch!! Anyway, love your channel!!!

[@6mmstyle775]

@@HansTheilLuiz what happened?

[@Critikal4k]

Can not load with vr in mp, my fps drops by a third.

[@geekmansegraves]

So my question is if the Apache can be taken off by easing into the collective without it trying to do a barrel roll on the ground or if it's still a "grip & rip" takeoff.

[@nentic7811]

Have we had any updates on the Vulcan API? I swear they said we would get it in 2024

[@Alfiemc27]

Could we ever see a Vulcan bomber module in DCS in the future ?

[@gazgazgaz2]

Thank you HIPs!! Hope this is not the last one for this year 😂

[@nickgrey4136]

Wonderful stuff. Thank you Andrei ! Kind regards, Nick

[@sargentwolfLL]

Did they add things to Apache George gunner menu? Or was it the previous patch? Noticed a few extra lines of text when I flew two days ago

[@hipgames]

yes, its new with this update but didn't mentioned it in the video

[@sargentwolfLL]

@hipgames cool! Glad they did and continue to do so much work on the Apache. Keep up the reporting!

[@jeffreyc2074]

Great update as usual! But, do need more kitty :)

[@rws1467]

All thats left is 2025 and Beyond

[@Deamonesque]

Noice. Hope you had a good couple of days off.

[@wade3166]

OK so George and Petrovitch can no longer see targets masked by fog, how about the enemy AI?

[@hipgames]

Enemy AI already had this feature last update and it will continue to be tweaked as time goes by

[@rasse30]

did anyone notice a slight change on the Hornet UFC? or do i have a bug?

[@OddElephantLTU]

still no sniper pod

[@Zolbat]

I'm excited for that too, but I don't know what is different with that - do you know? I assume from the name that the zoom is increased, and maybe less masking, but I wanna know what to expect

[@deadyplus1]

@@OddElephantLTU it was shown off in the most recent video though. So we love that.

[@bulletstop100]

Happy new Year and this was an awesome present!

[@Volcrum]

Chinook gets windshield wipers but hip and hind’s are still broken

[@RagsHSC-7]

Still waiting on 2024 and beyond. I know it takes time. From the f4u Corsair, f6f Hellcat, p38 lightning, enough with the mosquito most of them did not have any defensive cannons they were fast, that was their counter measures. Was there speed. Can't wait for the Pacific theater. Also the A6 intruder, A7 Corsair, f8 Crusader 🪽👊😎 we're all waiting. Also, the Enterprise must be in the waters. That was the very first ship to get the November"N" designation it was for night ops during world war II. Long before nuclear propulsion came in to production. Note; B1 lancer AKA The Bone ! Never had any paint except USAF gray. I don't know what that milkshake paint is but it is not legit. Love, DCS, a lot of my Navy brothers and sisters are there. Waiting on the Pacific theater. Really hoping that at least the Corsair hopefully coming soon down to turnpike. It's time to get it on ☝️ Also all branches of our brothers in arms. God bless you all 🕊️ 💯🇺🇸⚓💙 Would really love to see the Blackhawk and the Seahawk which is not much of a jump from each other except for weight and armaments. Both platforms are set for utility and sub hunting and countermeasures. Would like to see more Naval assets and larger Helos❤ Sea dragon, super stallion! Also the little bird oh6 civilian md500 conversion. So it's public and published all the assets above. At every 5°+/- . Ty for the tutorial

[@andrefreeman7025]

Everybody now awaiting the 2025 AND BEYOND video...

[@SDR_Alt]

YAY another HIP video :D

[@1983Josip]

They never made the most important thing, and that's a dynamic campaign. There used to be servers where you could fly for days without stopping, but now I haven't flown for months. They started releasing new modules like War Thunder and World of Tanks. I was really disappointed in DCS

[@alexundr917]

Yeah The apache is so weird

[@RocketToTheMoose]

Copying and pasting the not-included Heatblur F-14 changelog for this patch that IronMike posted separately in the ED forums: Significantly improved TWS: Improved track combining and splitting Fixed tracks shooting off at high speed strange angles Fixed tracks under missile attack being trashed when combined Link4C improvements: Fixed auto address on kneeboard working away from ground crew Fixed rx/tx enabled on old frequency after frequency change Fixed Link4C in multicrew Prioritize transmitted Link4C tracks Increased displayable Link4C tracks to accommodate all participants (4+1 each, max 3 others in net)

[@hipgames]

Yeah, I missed it this time, as previously the patch notes did contain their changes, and only before they did separate notes. Hard to keep track. Luckly sorry to say: nothing extraordinary in the changes

[@RocketToTheMoose]

@@hipgames Actually, that TWS fix is pretty huge for us F-14 guys. It was a big source of frustration.

[@hipgames]

Good to know! 🥳

[@FelipeLameiraFierceArtworks]

Despite of all improvements, the problem with Aim-120 persistis.

[@odysseus9797]

I haven't played in a while. What's the issue with amrams?

[@FelipeLameiraFierceArtworks]

@@odysseus9797 The AIM-120 is facing several issues, particularly with their terminal phase tracking. The problem seems to be related to recent updates to the seeker head, which have introduced bugs affecting the missile's ability to maintain lock and hit the target accurately. Beyond this, there many complaints about the missiles not receiving midcourse guidance updates, causing them to fly in a straight line until the seeker head picks up the target again. All These issues have been a point of frustration and all players are feelling the missiles are not performing as expected, based on real-life data and capabilities.

[@viruspter1dactl]

​@@FelipeLameiraFierceArtworks litterally every missile in the game decelerates way to fast. Currently the force of drag on the Phoenix missile is equal to like 6 fucking kilonewtons which is WAYYY too much. It shouldn't be losing 50 knots per second in a straight line. This is also consistent with the amraam and the pl12..

[@sirwhippamus]

Awwww, no mention of ir missiles ignoring countermeasures?

[@viruspter1dactl]

90% in this game it's completely RNG.

[@simoncampbell-smith6745]

First! Do like this show.

[@mr_sandman1082]

It ain't really a surprise till they add a dynamic campaign
