News Liste DCS World Steam Edition

DCS Core

• [p]AI aircraft. F-16 won't attack head-on targets with missiles in certain cases - fixed.[/p][/*]

• [p]AI aircraft. New tasks added for helicopters:[/p][list]
• [p]‘External Cargo Load' and 'External Cargo Unload'. Old task 'Cargo Transportation (External) is removed, and the possibility to add in the mission editor has been hidden for new missions while compatibility with old missions has been retained.[/p][/*]
• [p]‘External Cargo Load' makes HAI hook up cargo as it was in old task, but after hooking, HAI will continue its route set by the missionmaker so that it is the missionmaker’s responsibility to now limit altitudes and airspeed for such cargo delivery.[/p][/*]
