Added new feature: dual-band UHF/VHF ARC-210 radio which replaces one of two ARC-186 (UHF version). The VHF version remains but moved aft. Watch the introduction video (https://youtu.be/3JikH67lSfY) by Matt “Wags” Wagner.
Radar altimeter. Radar altimeter now works on roll angles up to 120+ deg when pitch angles are between 35 deg on alt above 3000 feet and when pitch angles are between 45 deg and alt is below 3000 feet. Otherwise maximum roll angles are reduced to 15 deg. Radar altimeter ceiling is now 5000+ feet, not 5000 straight
A10C. ARC-164 status button. Fixed, reverted wrong stuff from ARC-164 indication. Minor: aligned ARC-210 indication.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges
Added Mirage F1EE. Including new ALR-300 RWR, air to air refuelling and Inertial Navigation System.
New content:
Added BARAX electronic countermeasures pod for the F1EE with full functionality.
FM:
Slight adjustment (reduction) in low supersonic drag.
Slight reduction of drag coefficient at subsonic speeds to better match the performance data.
Reduced payload supersonic drag.
Adjusted Magic, SW and SAMP 400 drag coefficients.
Rolling moment induced by external payload lift now accounted for.
Improved wake behaviour (reduced influence on the roll of the aircraft).
Slight increase in lateral stability at high aoa to better match SME feedback.
Elevator authority slightly increased in the subsonic area.
Further drag coefficient adjustment.
Drag at high AoA slightly increased.
Modified flap performance at very low speeds.
Roll due to asymmetric stall further developed.
Further adjustment of wingtip missile lift (when attached to the aircraft).
Reduced tendency of engine to enter a compressor stall outside the flight envelope.
Adjusted NWS behaviour in high sensitivity mode.
Corrected excessive engine pitch moment.
Engine gyroscopic moment correctly accounted for.
Adjusted asymmetric aileron deflection effects.
Adjusted payloads lift coefficients.
Tweaked elevator authority.
Changed elevator starting position on the ground.
Adjusted behavior of the yaw damper in the transonic region.
Control system:
Default neutral point of non-FFB sticks changed to increase pitch-up zone, thus reducing sensitivity in pitch and increasing usable stick range in most situations.
Modified internal pitch curve (AMEDEE system). Pitch is now less sensitive at high deflection values.
Reduced effects of ARTHUR and Dashpot systems (stick force emulation) on pitch control. Now the ARTHUR and Dashpot model can be toggled in the Special Options menu.
Flight controls now require hydraulic pressure to move.
Rudder trembling problem solved.
Adjusted nose wheel steering curves to make it both more responsive and easier to control (still WIP).
Engine:
[LIST]
Flying backwards or having significant tail wind with RPM below 7000 might turn the engine off.
Moving the throttle to idle before the RPM are above 300 may lead to fire or over-temperature due to accumulation of fuel faster than before (IMPORTANT).
Engine stall can now be caused by moving the RPM back and forth too fast or engaging the afterburner at very high AoA or outside the flight envelope.
Engine stall RPM oscillations are now less severe.
Engine temperature in overspeed corrected to what is indicated in the manuals (

Improved. Petrovich AI several voice overs lines were replaced, added or removed for a better fit
Fixed. Petrovich AI problems of interface placement conflict with MFD, screens etc. exports setups
Fixed. Kord machine gun disappears in some camera positions
Fixed. ASP-17 sight manual input adjustments accuracy tuning
Fixed. AI Mi-24P does not use ATGM sight (not opening its doors)
Added: Special option for AP authority over pedals (if disabled AP won't be able to take control over anti torque pedals and move them without pilot input, although 9% authority over yaw control is still there. Disabling it making this system not realistic (as real system AP has full control over whole pedals axis) but due to simulator and hardware joysticks reasons we are putting it in)
Added: Special setting for SPO (RWR) volume tuning
Added: New custom rocket and gun firing sounds
Added: Pedals microswitch button keybind for toggle action
Added: Keybinds for DISS Doppler navigation panel
Improved: Performance optimization of the Petrovich AI incoming fire detection code
Improved: Adjusted Petrovich AI angle and distance for incoming fire detection (will be less reports for non relevant fire events)
Improved: Overall Petrovich AI voice lines editing
Improved: Adjusted Petrovich AI target search pattern and geometry (this will eliminate long distance non relevant targets being included in search result and list). Now Petrovich scan specific sector around point.
Improved: Adjusted Petrovich AI obstructed target recognition. Petrovich will see partially visible target, if enough of this target is protruding from obstacle.
Improved: Petrovich AI will warn pilot about target being obstructed and won't fire ATGM if he thinks that target obstruction is too severe.
Improved: Petrovich AI will give hints to pilot for approach if target is obstructed. He will try to determine if repeating approach from the relative to the current heading right or left side is advisable.
Fixed: Raduga ATGM aiming sight doors animation
Fixed: Ammo animation for Kord right side gunner
Improved: List of targets detected by Petrovich now dynamically updated, user just need to place a point on ground for Petrovich AI to scan and to get updates there is no need to repeat it now, Petrovich should update target list in real time with IFF and new targets progress.
Improved: additional optimization of Petrovich AI routine for performance

Fixed: the V-8 slaved directional (gyro) indicator can not be rotated with the mouse.
Fixed: Ammunition capacity error - ammo changed to 300 rounds per gun.
DCS: F-5E Tiger II by Eagle Dynamics
Fixed:TACAN / ADF directional arrow remains fixed and does not rotate.
Fixed: EGT reaches nearly 800c at start up.
Fixed: Afterburner sometimes does not come on
Fixed: Nozzles position depends on throttle moving direction
Fixed: Consistency in Engine Behavior based on throttle position
DCS: A-10A by Eagle Dynamics
Added PBR textures, made some fixes.
Position lights don't flash. Fixed.
DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer by Eagle Dynamics
A-10C II. Position lights remain when the wing is destroyed. Fixed
Added new feature: dual-band UHF/VHF ARC-210 radio which replaces one of two ARC-186 (UHF version). The VHF version remains but moved aft. Watch the introduction video (https://youtu.be/3JikH67lSfY) by Matt “Wags” Wagner.
Radar altimeter. Radar altimeter now works on roll angles up to 120+ deg when pitch angles are between 35 deg on alt above 3000 feet and when pitch angles are between 45 deg and alt is below 3000 feet. Otherwise maximum roll angles are reduced to 15 deg. Radar altimeter ceiling is now 5000+ feet, not 5000 straight
A10C. ARC-164 status button. Fixed, reverted wrong stuff from ARC-164 indication. Minor: aligned ARC-210 indication.
ARC-210. VHF FM AM switching bug with UFC. Fixed problem with wrong modulation auto-select when inputting frequency from UFC. Minor: connected ARC-210 to the right DC bus instead of left
Editor. Nameless records in Payload Restrictions view mode. Checking if the launcher exists in the database
ARC-164: incorrect work of squelch switch. Squelch switch is set to On by default on the start of the mission. Squelch now toggled correctly (ON and OFF correspond to the correct radio logic
ARC-210 knobs input of a wrong frequency leads to other wrong frequency tuning - fixed
ARC-210 has no illumination at night - fixed
HSI elements floating in the cockpit - fixed
DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges
Added Mirage F1EE. Including new ALR-300 RWR, air to air refuelling and Inertial Navigation System.
New content:
Added BARAX electronic countermeasures pod for the F1EE with full functionality.
FM:
Slight adjustment (reduction) in low supersonic drag.
Slight reduction of drag coefficient at subsonic speeds to better match the performance data.
Reduced payload supersonic drag.
Adjusted Magic, SW and SAMP 400 drag coefficients.
Rolling moment induced by external payload lift now accounted for.
Improved wake behaviour (reduced influence on the roll of the aircraft).
Slight increase in lateral stability at high aoa to better match SME feedback.
Elevator authority slightly increased in the subsonic area.
Further drag coefficient adjustment.
Drag at high AoA slightly increased.
Modified flap performance at very low speeds.
Roll due to asymmetric stall further developed.
Further adjustment of wingtip missile lift (when attached to the aircraft).
Reduced tendency of engine to enter a compressor stall outside the flight envelope.
Adjusted NWS behaviour in high sensitivity mode.
Corrected excessive engine pitch moment.
Engine gyroscopic moment correctly accounted for.
Adjusted asymmetric aileron deflection effects.
Adjusted payloads lift coefficients.
Tweaked elevator authority.
Changed elevator starting position on the ground.
Adjusted behavior of the yaw damper in the transonic region.
Control system:
Default neutral point of non-FFB sticks changed to increase pitch-up zone, thus reducing sensitivity in pitch and increasing usable stick range in most situations.
Modified internal pitch curve (AMEDEE system). Pitch is now less sensitive at high deflection values.
Reduced effects of ARTHUR and Dashpot systems (stick force emulation) on pitch control. Now the ARTHUR and Dashpot model can be toggled in the Special Options menu.
Flight controls now require hydraulic pressure to move.
Rudder trembling problem solved.
Adjusted nose wheel steering curves to make it both more responsive and easier to control (still WIP).
Engine:
[LIST]
Flying backwards or having significant tail wind with RPM below 7000 might turn the engine off.
Moving the throttle to idle before the RPM are above 300 may lead to fire or over-temperature due to accumulation of fuel faster than before (IMPORTANT).
Engine stall can now be caused by moving the RPM back and forth too fast or engaging the afterburner at very high AoA or outside the flight envelope.
Engine stall RPM oscillations are now less severe.
Engine temperature in overspeed corrected to what is indicated in the manuals (
