[b]DCS Core Updates[/b]

Core AI logic has been improved for both air and ground units. Fixed aircraft AI issues include the F4U-1D’s zero fuel behavior, improved group rocket attacks, tuned heavy aircraft landing angle of attack errors, and aerial refueling improvements. AI fighters using semi-active homing missiles will  now respect radar gimbal limits, and helicopter traffic jams when landing at Jalalabad AB have been resolved.

Ground AI targeting algorithms for SA-11, SA-2, and SA-3 launchers have also been refined, SAM sites now rearm correctly, and collisions between ground units and parked aircraft have been addressed. Tunguska missile accuracy has also been improved.

The Mission Editor (ME) gained a search bar for unit lists to assist when creating missions, and range rings for ground units now respect the ‘Hide Units’ setting. Weapon updates include speed limitations, aerodynamic tuning for AGM-84 variants, seeker logic improvements for AGM-88C, and corrected mass and drag parameters for various ordnance. Additional bomb skins expand visual variety, and proximity fuze logic based on battery power has been corrected, and SNEB rocket effectiveness has been increased.

The Afghanistan map received extensive terrain mesh, normal maps, vegetation, ground texture, and other terrain improvements. In addition to Points of Interest (POI) areas around airfields and urban areas, the entire map has received a significant improvement in accuracy and realism, including from lower altitudes.

An important addition has been the inclusion of Forward Operating Bases Clark, Gardez, Thunder, Tellier, Camp Dubs, and Camp Julien. Additionally, the Patrol bases of Khost and Deysie combat outposts have also been added. These are now highlighted on the Mission Editor and F10 Map View with green triangles.

Other notable additions include the Mausoleum of Ahmad Shah Durrani, Kabul’s National Assembly, the Babur Garden, and the Kabul National Stadium. Many of the airbases also saw substantial improvement with more small and large object details, improved texture and lighting, and corrections to ramp and taxiway positions and AI logic.
