This hotfix corrected several specific case crashes with the Mi-24P and F-14. This included an issue with the F-14 using AN/ALQ-100/126 and ALR-45/50 after carrier spawn in certain situations. Additionally, we were able to resolve an issue with password-protected slots that prevented players from occupying them during a Multiplayer Session.[/p][p]DCS: F/A-18C & DCS: F-14 Iron Tide Campaign by Sandman Simulations had all missions updated to improve CAP and escort functions of the AI, as well as corrected wind direction to ensure proper runway usage at Ramat David. [/p][p]Thank you to all of you for helping to identify these issues quickly. Read the complete hot fix list. [/p][p][/p]C-130J

The module has been added to our internal version, and integration testing is underway to ensure compatibility with current DCS systems. [/p][p]FARP System Development
We are currently developing a new system that will allow for cargo aircraft to operate as a mobile FARP. This means that in multiplayer environments you will be able to resupply friendly aircraft at any location on the map, using resources carried inside of your aircraft. The cargo and FARP deployment systems represent new gameplay mechanics that will enhance the logistics, support aspects of DCS missions.[/p][p]GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast
The MOAB implementation is particularly important as it's the signature weapon deployed from the C-130. At 9 tons, it's one of the largest conventional bombs in the US arsenal. We are working on its drop animations whilst tuning its explosive yield and explosion effect size. [/p][p]Release Timeline
The C-130 launch will be based on testing results given the complexity of the module. We look forward to sharing more details.[/p][p][/p]
