DCS-NEWS DCS: AV-8B Harrier by Razbam

[Scorpion]

I’m sure RAZBAM has an internal listing but I thought I’d put together a list from the pocket guide so those of us in the community can keep track as the functions are added.  I initially made this list so as we evaluate within the 476 vFG to possibly add the Harrier as a new Squadron we could keep track of some of the key things that need to be added first. 

If anyone sees anything I missed (or Zeus sees something I interpreted wrong from the guide) let me know.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this aircraft tomorrow, she’s looking good so far from the preview videos and I’m excited for what is yet to be implemented!

IMPORTANT: AV-8B COPY PROTECTION CHANGE!

Dear all,

With the release of the AV-8B today, it is import to know that this will be the first DCS World product that uses our new protection system. Rather than use StarForce keys, we are moving to a “keyless” system which binds your purchase to your www.dcs-world.com username, and NOT a key.

We strongly believe that this will make protection of your DCS World products much more simple.

Thanks,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

Oh Cristo, ce l'hanno fatta!

Spero che sia retroattiva questa cosa!

Installata la versione 1.5.8 e come descritto nelle news, lanciato DCS ti chiede il Login e PW.
Stessa cosa per l'installazione dei moduli.
Primi screen senza aver provato ancora nulla.

Bello è bello, non c'è niente da dire...  [:headbang] [:headbang] [:headbang]

Ha un dettaglio da fare invidia ai moduli fatti da mamma ED...  hyes:

Dear all,

With the release of the AV-8B today, it is import to know that this will be the first DCS World product that uses our new protection system. Rather than use StarForce keys, we are moving to a “keyless” system which binds your purchase to your www.dcs-world.com username, and NOT a key. You will not need a constant internet connection either. The new system will just “phone home” after a three day period or the next time you log into DCS World.

This new system will also provide benefits for Steam users and Gifting. Once those details are worked out, we look forward to sharing them with you.

We strongly believe that this will make protection of your DCS World products much more simple. At a later point, we hope to apply this same protection system to all of our other modules.

Also, the AV-8B release today is for the Open Beta version of DCS World. Please make sure you use this version and that you update it today.

We must release all new aircraft modules on the Caucasus map first as not everyone may operate one of the DCS 2.1 maps. We don't believe it fair to force customers to purchase one of these maps to fly their new aircraft. We do though plan to update DCS 2.1 for the AV-8B in the next one to two weeks.

Thanks,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

Dear all,

Many thanks for the constructive feedback on the new protection system. It’s essential for us to create the best DCS World experience possible and world class copy protection is important. We have been reading your comments and of particular note is your concern for the three day time frame within which a verification check needs to be completed. We will be carefully considering this and trying to find the best balance of a great DCS World experience for you while successfully protecting our IP. We take this very seriously and should have some feedback for you next week.

For the sake of clarity, this new system (currently only being used for the AV-8, requires that each time you log into DCS World, the authorization for the module is extended (currently three days). It would only expire after not logging into DCS World for over three days. If you were to go on vacation for example and not be able to log into DCS World for greater than three days, then that is still okay. Upon your return, say three weeks later, you would log into DCS World and the module(s) would be re-authorized. The only complication arises if you are trying to play DCS World with no internet connection for greater than three days. This is the topic we will be re-evaluating. We hope this all makes better sense now.

Thanks,
Wags

Con la nuova patch sulla Open Beta 1.5.8, una volta acceso l'RWR, ora ti compare anche la minaccia sull'HUD, con simbologia della minaccia,direzione ed anche se ti ha agganciato.

Cazzo Toro, ho messo un mezzo antiaereo nello stesso tuo punto per fare le prove, o siamo telepatici o siamo troppo prevedibili...  [anach11]

 

[Gaanalma]

Ottimo!

 

[Toro]

Mah ...strana storia!!!
Mi sono fatto una mix chiamata AV-8B Prova 1 (anche stesso nome?) dove decollo dalla portaerei e mi dirigo a sud-est di Batumi,dove ho piazzato due SAM8 Osa e diversi T80.
SAM8 uso i AGM 122 (bel missilino) e i carri uso gli AGM 65 per far pratica.

A grande richiesta, la tabella per i fuze (ancora da implementare completamente).

The Special Tarawa 3D model for DCS : AV8B owners is ready, with the textures being worked on as we speak. Razbam posted a preview of the result on their Facebook page.

For multiplayer compatibility, there is already a “lite” 3D model of the Tarawa, that comes with DCS World. This special 3D model is intended for players that purchased Razbam’s AV8B Harrier. There are no release estimate yet.
