Update RU texts and fix typos in Hornet Lessons (1-20)
TGP jitters at max zoom - fixed
Note 1: Please note that the TALD used by the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet is different from the one developed by Heatblur for their F-14. Heatblur will be using the TALD developed for the Hornet, but this task was not complete in time for this Open Beta, but it should be available for the following.

Note 2: We are nearing completion of the F-16C flight model and FLCS adjustments, and following this, the Hornet will get the same flight model and FCS review. This is one of the primary remaining items on the Hornet’s roadmap. The team also continues work on the UFC BackUp page, and GPS-guided weapon updates. Please see the Hornet roadmap here.

DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics
Added Manual (MAN) bombing mode.
Added FIX DED Page
Fixed: Unknown ('U') HTS label on WPN page for some threats
Fixed: Users report PDLT cycle stops working after a while
Fixed: After setting the PDLT and then designating the same target on radar and radar undesignating, you can no longer set that target as the PDLT
Fixed: Target altitude number copied and stuck in some cases when switching from RWS to TWS
Fixed: TGP CZ logic is broken if OA is selected
Fixed: TMS Aft on HSD PDLT logic is not correct
Fixed: TTI missing from TGP for GBU
Fixed: Maverick Scale remains on HUD
Fixed: Check stability when airspeed at 300kts in aar gains
Fixed: Backflips after deep stall recovery with using MPO
Note: Next priority items include finalising the Max Toss Anticipation Cue, update to the external and cockpit models, Mk-84AIR high drag bomb, LADD bombing mode, the FCS BIT with control surface animations, air show smoke pods, and more. Please see our roadmap here: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/278635-dcs-f-16c-viper-roadmap/

We have also defined the planned Viper features before it exits early access. Please note that development will continue based on the roadmap linked above. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/206282-subject-to-change-desired-f-16c-systems-and-payloads-for-early-access/

DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics
Added Target State Estimator (TSE).
Added Altitude Hold mode.
Added dashboard covers (sunvisors) animation
Main rotor VRS state implementation (W.I.P)
Improvements in definition of preplaned threats. Also HSI is now locked to the Ghostship when the MPD TSD page is in FRZ. Added intervisibility rings for Ghostship on MPD TSD pages
Improved :
SCAS behavior.
LMC Control.
When any of the ENG, FLT, FUEL, PERF, or UTIL pages is selected via the MENU page or by using the Favorites function, that page becomes the originator page for the remainder of the AIRCRAFT pages.
The Torque readout in the HDU symbology should become boxed at 98%
The NVS Sensor Select switch should only be functional in NORM or FIXED mode
After blanking above 200 feet, the radar altimeter tape should come back on 180 feet
Cued LOS Dot should always be displayed
FPV, Head Tracker, Cued LOS, except Bob-Up Box should disappear outside of the safe zone
The grayscale image currently displays an opaque white overlay
MPD in MONO mode overrides color of the symbology or white video underlay
Video underlay showing TADS should also show the TADS LOS crosshairs
With PNV selected, TDU FLIR will always be the currently selected NVS FLIR sensor for the Pilot
Flight symbology on an MPD VID page uses some colored elements similar to the FLT page
When the TDU PNV button is selected "OWNER CUE" should not be displayed
Fixed: Laser rangefinder desync
Fixed: Radios allow invalid frequencies to be entered.
Fixed: TADS range value is incorrect if exceeds maximum range
Fixed: LASE # TRGT LOAL message error
Fixed: Rapid LRFD operations produce issue
Fixed: TADS STOW - LMC ERROR
Fixed: WPN -> ASE -> unASE = TSD, should be WPN
Note: The next big, new items planned for the AH-64d will be the Image Auto-Tracker (IAT) set of functions that allow the TADS to lock on to a target with sufficient contrast rather than having to manually track it with the thumb force controller. Following the inclusion of IAT, we plan to add DCS: AH-64D to the free trial period program.
