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.
Landing training mission minor fixes.
Updated ground attack training missions: The sight is set in NORMAL mode instead of APP mode. Modified sight depression figures.
Added Sinai missions (Quick Start and Single Player for both Mirage F1CE and Mirage F1EE).
DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev
Fixed the initialization of the mechanical clock hours hand when the aircraft start time is more than 12:00 PM.

DCS: Black Shark 3 by Eagle Dynamics
Shkval. Inaccurate aiming to target from memory - tuned embedded INS+DNS algorithms, the error won't drastically increase on hover (filtered input more precisely)

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.
Landing training mission minor fixes.
Updated ground attack training missions: The sight is set in NORMAL mode instead of APP mode. Modified sight depression figures.
Added Sinai missions (Quick Start and Single Player for both Mirage F1CE and Mirage F1EE).

DCS: Black Shark 3 by Eagle Dynamics
Shkval. Inaccurate aiming to target from memory - tuned embedded INS+DNS algorithms, the error won't drastically increase on hover (filtered input more precisely)

INS. Alignment in some condition can't make IMU precision better that a certain threshold - fixed
