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.

Early Access Launch of the DCS: F-15E by RAZBAM

DCS: F-15E Top Tips
Radar channels are modelled, so if in MP all are close together and on channel A, then they will see interference that looks like jamming on the radar - they need to deconflict channels.
PACS - All none smart weapons have to be manually input into the jet on each in game rearm.
Mic switch needs to be set to "on" to communicate with ground crew - default it is off.
A/P button on the UFC keypad not only shows the autopilot menu, but also enables autopilot. If they want to just look at the menu, then use the UFC PB9 from the main menu. (This is correct behaviour)
LANTRIN pod will prohibit laser use above 25kft - intended behaviour.
LANTRIN Pod has only FLIR function, no CCD/TV.
There is an option in F-15E special options to set how many processor cores are used for the radar - adjusting this will help with FPS issues.
Cold Start - Apply the parking brake before setting INS to ALIGN, otherwise the process may fail. Avoid rearming whilst alignment is in progress.

DCS: F-15E by RAZBAM - Known Issues
Bombs dropped in AUTO mode can land long of target for wings level release. It is recommended to do a dive bombing for improved accuracy.
CBUs can open prematurely, specially if dropped above 1500 ft AGL
HUD Repeater in MPCD sometimes not visible
MFD exports not yet implemented
Volume control for TEWS & TACAN WIP
WSO HOTAS commands WIP
AA/AG Gun piper aims high.
Some items on UFC not synced between front and back cockpit - WIP
Cockpit Mirrors not symmetrical
Rear cockpit MFD displays cannot be programmed.
It is not possible to change the GBUs laser code with the kneeboard.
Sometimes PACS does not automatically recognize a weapons load. It must be manually entered.
GUARD is not monitored when selected in the Presets and active mode is Manual Frequency
Using AG Radar HRM mode can cause a drop in FPS during the image digitalization phase. This depends on the running computer specs.
Very Rarely, when using AG Radar, DCS will freeze for a second while checking the terrain. This depends on the running computer specs.
It is recommended to use the AG radar with DCS MT.
AI wingmen will attack with gun only despite having more relevant ordnance.
Dumping fuel will cause fuel totalizer to read 0.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges

Optical Sight improvements and fixes:
The Optical Sight target symbol doesn’t disappear anymore when it is near its movement limits.
The Optical Sight attitude reticle displayed part is limited now by ~75 degrees of total angle in pitch (it is the physical display limit of the pitch ribbon).
Optical Sight 'Normal' and 'Simplified' attitude scales are implemented on a single ribbon now, with a visible animation when the scale type is changed.
Implemented animated transition between the 'radar command bar' and the 'gun firing reticle' symbols. These symbols are physically placed on the same reticle ('Moving reticle').
Other systems fixes:
Fixed IDN mode switch initial position in F1EE: The animation position didn't match the internal value, so the indicator moves now correctly after selecting the first mode switch position.
Added timer to weight on wheels sensors to avoid the antislip kicking in when the wheels were not yet fully in the air.
Fixed an error in the VOR/ILS test - direction of the horizontal needle movement was inverted.
Fixed Standby Horizon initialization pitch error at hot start.
Fixed R550 timeout logic at missile station selection - now the 'hardwired' 34 seconds timeout (gyros spool up timeout by a timer relay) is applied only when the "Matra 550 or SW missile" switch is turned ON.
Fixed the initialization of the mechanical clock hours hand when the aircraft start time is more than 12:00 PM.
3D model and textures:
Adjusted spherical Indicator airplane symbol.
Miscellaneous:
Implemented mirrors position control by mouse axis, in addition to the existing clickable 'on/off' action.
Cockpit mirrors now can be toggled On/Off by 'Toggle Mirrors' key.
Fixed left mirror, it doesn't freeze anymore at certain view angles.
Training missions:
Updated startup training mission: Highlighted NWS high sensitivity button. Specified that the "I" key on the keyboard sets the throttle to idle.
Updated the taxi, takeoff and climb training mission: Added the need to press the U + V pushbutton in the radio selector unit. Improved the TACAN in T/R mode trigger, no need to reset the T/R position.

DCS World

NEW: Added support for Nvidia DLSS. Using upscaling, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) can dramatically improve game performance if you are Graphics Processor Unt (GPU) limited. Please note that if your CPU is limited, DLSS will have little to no performance effect. Owners of Nvidia 40-series graphics card will most benefit from this. With DLSS selected as the Upscaling option, you can further refine quality versus performance with Quality, Balance, Performance, and Ultra Performance presets. WIP
NEW: Added support for AMD FSR 2, FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) also using an upscaling algorithm to improve performance. Also like DLSS, it will have little to no effect if you are CPU-limited. WIP.
NEW: Anti-Aliasing. If Upscaling is set to OFF, three anti-aliasing modes are available.
Multi-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA)
Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA)
Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA)
NEW: Added graphics option for Screen Space Shadows (SSS). This adds improved shadow detail to grass, bushes, and tree shadows. This is most evident with moving grass and tree shadows at long view distances. WIP.
NEW: Color Grading. Select between nine image color gradients that allow you to adjust the tint of the image to provide the desired effect. This can be most useful for video creators.
NEW: LOD Switch Factor. The Level of Detail (LOD) slider allows you to adjust the distance at which a unit transitions to lower level of detail models. 1 is the default value, but by setting a lower value, game performance can be increased.
NEW: Sharpening. The slider adjusts the image sharpness between 0.00 (default) and 1.00. Sharpening can help make it look crisp and clear by enhancing the edges of objects in the image. However, adding too much sharpness can actually make an image look worse, or it can lead to a loss in image detail. When using DLSS, we suggest a setting of 0.5 and 0.8-1.0 for FSR.
NEW: Cinematic Camera View - Right Control + F2. In combination with the mouse, the WASD keys can be used to move the camera forward, back, and laterally, and the Q and E keys can move the camera up and down. This allows the camera to be positioned in reference to the unit’s coordinate system, allowing much greater camera control for cinematic scenes.
NEW: 3D Models. Newly created models for the B-1B, B-52H, S-3B (S-3B Tanker to follow shortly), “Centurion” C-RAM, and SA-10 (S-300PS).
NEW: Ability to create, save, delete and rename custom weapons loadouts using in game rearm/refuel menu.
Improved “spotting dots” added (WIP):
Increased dot size at high resolutions
Zoom is not affecting dots size
In order to disable new “spotting dots” and revert to previous logic user can put “DotRendererExperiment = False” in autoexec.cfg file located in \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\

Improved Replays/Tracks: Improved track replay for human controlled aircraft by conducting more frequent continuity checks, WIP. - Note, increased track file data size when saved to disk.
NEW: Advanced Waypoint Action for Unlimited Fuel Option for AI. Please note the task must be at the top of Advanced Waypoint Actions list to make sure it works properly.
NEW: Perform Task/Strafing for aircraft and helicopters as Advanced Waypoint Action. You can now set placement, length, attack direction and attack quantity.
NEW: Added helicopter rotor downwash influence on vegetation.

Engine:

Adjusted engine flame-out with tail wind or reversed airflow. It may happen on the ground with extreme winds and at high altitudes with out-of-envelope manoeuvres that involve reversed airflow, such as a tailslide. The RPM has to be set high to minimise the phenomenon.
The engine starter button cover is spring loaded now (will close after a time delay).
Flight model:

Slightly increased high supersonic drag to better reflect acceleration data.
Autostart/Autostop:

Fixed auto start sequence. Now the throttle is checked/moved to idle in the cabin checks phase, to avoid a hot start chance.

Several 3D model and texture updates.
Fixed brake chute being self-deployed disregarding the handle position, after the aircraft repair is complete.
Fixed several single and quickstart missions (mainly due to missing pre-programmed radio channels or changed radio frequencies in South Atlantic terrain).

Fixed sight camera position (it was not centred with the sight).
Known issues:

Radio doesn’t work (it can’t be heard) when starting a hot mission. Workaround: cycle the “Function selector” switch, I.e. switch it to OFF (AR) and then back to one of the operating modes: Main (PAL) or Main+Guard (PAL+G).
