DCS 1.5.4.55169 Update 2

The main task of today's update is the Early Access of DCS: F-5E Tiger II

Several fixes and corrections:
•   Ground vehicles will not call dust effect from concrete surfaces
•   Su-25T. Added animation of baro altimeter failure flag
•   Mi-8MTV2 and UH-1H. Fixed crash when player helicopter with selected cargo is destroyed
•   Flaming Cliffs. Error when DRM button pressed fixed
•   Su-27. Incorrect Mechanical Devices Indicator fixed
•   MP. Added role selection window localization

DCS Hawk by VEAO
•   Controls indicator now shows with RCtrl+Enter
•   Weapons selector has been fixed
•   Flaps and gear down now affect flight model
•   Rudder yaw sensitivity has been tweaked
•   Aden gun pod texture added

Known DCS F-5E bugs and inconsistencies:
•   IDLE RPM (Thrust) vs altitude. IDLE thrust too big at altitude.
•   Damaged aircraft without one wing sink smoothly.
•   No spin after tail slide. According to TO, when tailsliding with pitch > 70 degrees the plane should enter inverted spin.
•   Choсks animation linked to canopy animation on net phantom
•   Turn perfomance at 5000ft. Sustained turn curve has no step on 330 KIAS.
•   No compressor stall and flameout.
•   Max lift g-loads. According to TO at 5000 ft and GW 13750 the F-5 can achieve 6.0 G at M = 0.5. In simulator the plane can achieve 6.6 at M=0.5 and 7.1 at M = 0.52.
•   Pitch down input is too abrupt due to absence of half of the axis. stick fwd movenent is less, than aft, but the scale of joystick-virtual stick is the same for aft and fwd movement.
•   Missing missile excess-G marker on LCOSS.
•   Gunsight mode A/A1 works incorrect.
•   AIM-9 seeker FOV is very narrow.
•   RWR sound issues. No sounds are present for new radar sources
•   Only one attempt to lock-on after ACQ button release in radar search mode.
•   Radar elevation controls stop working after target lock is broken.
•   Lock gate cannot be controlled after severl mode switches.

•   MP. Added role selection window localization <---


what does that mean?

I have no idea. A guess is that you can choose a seat in a multi-crewed aircraft like the Mi-8... but that is a guess.

"Localization" means that the language changes based on your computer's language setting.

That is, previously the role selection window was always in English, now it will be in the language that your computer uses...assuming of course that language is available in DCS.

Thank you man.  Any news about multi-crew btw?

Don't hold your breath Lumi.

ED really need to unify the versions.
