[h2]Quality Assurance Update[/h2]
[h3]Development Report[/h3]

Dear Community,

We read you, we hear you, we listen to you and we are working for you! Thank you for being with us and for your help to improve DCS World.

We delivered DCS World 2.5.6 Open Beta on February, 14.
Every version increase of 2.5.X is a cumulative update of the core environment. The feedback that we received from our community, especially with regards to multiplayer, is helping us to improve the delivery process.

The release of an unstable Open Beta to our clients has taught us an important lesson, and we are committed to improving the QA before an Open Beta delivery.

Our updated process includes:

  • Longer internal QA testing and debugging.
  • Earlier external Beta Tester access to Release Candidates. How to become a Beta Tester. English & Russian links.
  • A new closed Eagle Dynamics dedicated multiplayer testing server. The invitations will be announced soon.
  • DCS Open Beta delivery.
  • Hotfix process (if required).
  • DCS Stable delivery.


We will try to keep a schedule of 2-week iterations once the DCS World 2.5.6 Stable is released.

I have started posting development milestones on Reddit in the Hoggit community which you can read here. These will also be posted to our official forums.

I will continue to inform you about the progress of each project on our official ED forum.

Kate Perederko
Chief Operating Officer Eagle Dynamics



We make sure you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding our work in progress, as always.

Yours sincerely,

DCS: F-16C - INS Alignment Update

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW6Q-_17aHE&feature=youtu.be

In a recent DCS: F-16C Viper update, we updated how the alignment of the INS system works to be more realistic. When performing a cold start, you must either enter or confirm the latitude and longitude coordinates of your aircraft on the INS DED page within two minutes after starting an alignment.

This is required for not only for correct navigation data, but also correct display of information on the HUD.

This video is provided to better help understand this.
Thanks
