Official Post

Introducing DCS: C-130J by Airplane Simulation Company

DCS: C-130J by Airplane Simulation Company

Known Issues:

FARP crates will not spawn FARP if unloaded on ground. Airdrop unload only (Hotfix coming).
MOAB and Crates visually glitch sometimes when leaving cargo bay in multiplayer (Hotfix coming).
Vehicles that have been loaded into cargo, then unloaded can not be reloaded into cargo.
In game manual does not resize correctly in VR.
Sound for AI C-130J aircraft can in rare situations not be heard.

DCS Core

AI (Ground, Air, Sea)

Gun sound for the La Combattante IIa - fixed
Crash during embarking to helicopters in some cases - fixed
Maneuvering instantly after weapon release in all cases has been tuned so AI won’t be doing that all the time now
Helicopters do not perform vertical takeoff / landing even with the respective landing option turned on - fixed
Caucasus. Senaki Airfield. Airplanes couldn't park in parking space 33 - fixed
AI wingman having erratic behavior if ordered to attack by himself - fixed
When the follow command is set, the AI slows down to stall speed, for no obvious reason - fixed
Ai aircraft ignore taxiways and go over water after landing to reach the parking on Kola map in certain cases - fixed

Weapons

Implemented scaling of damage dealt to concrete structures depending on penetration depth. Detonations without penetration, as well as over-penetrating ones, will deal reduced damage.
Reduced blast wave damage falloff intensity for map objects.
Kh-41 anti ship missile. Exhaust trail position fixed.
R-27 AA missile. Fixed issue when chaff RCS looks excessive from missile point of view.
Fixed bug in target tracking filter that might cause missile miss even against moderately maneuvering target.
BLU-109 warhead. Adjusted parameters.
RIM-7 Sea Sparrow SAM. Old 3D model of missile replaced by new one with wing unfolding animation
R-17 SCUD ballistic missile. Exhaust trail settings updated. Autopilot updated.

User Interface

If coalition change lock is activated on a dedicated server there is no warning message when user changing coalitions - fixed.
Added tooltip for coalition change block option icon in multiplayer server list screen

Mission Editor

GUI error when trying to add task for static in some cases - fixed
Occasional GUI freezes upon entering loadout editor - fixed
GUI Error in TriggerZoneData.lua when trying to open a track in ME in some cases - fixed
Cross 'X' in the warning window "Insufficient depth for the ship" works like Yes (changes are applied) - fixed
Added search bar to the Triggers menu text fields with the ability to search by typing in item name
Added monospaced font to script editing text fields
Trigger “Cargo Unhooked in zone” changed to “Cargo in zone”, added additional conditions for checking coalitions. This trigger will work for cargo unloaded in this zone as well.

Features

Introduced cargo air drop with parachute feature
Introduced vehicles transport as cargo and air drop with parachute feature
Introduced FARP spawn from cargo feature (can be assigned as cargo advanced action, looking for your feedback for more FARP presets)
Dynamic cargo items now add each item weight into the resulting cargo (note: there is still minimum cargo asset weight at start and minimum weight is dictated by it, although if you put in amount of items that are more than this minimum weight it will then reflect weight overall weight of the items instead of minimal weight of cargo “crate” itself).

Avionics

General:

The option to select the language for the HUD/HDD and avionics has been fixed and improved (moved to a special tab).
