The Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams 2019
The Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams or VFAT is a virtual, international airshow like RIAT or MAKS. The pilots simulate the displays of real aerobatic teams like the Patrouille Suisse, Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, Russian Knights and Blue Impulse; however, many teams also create their own spectacular displays. VFAT is currently the only virtual airshow where such a large group of teams gather to create an event of this size. Spectators can watch the event live using internet streaming technology. VFAT takes place once a year and offers the opportunity for virtual aerobatic teams and solo pilots to present their hard work for the enjoyment of the general public! Watch live Dec. 7th & 8th on

Une fois la mise à jour faite, on a moyen de faire le ménage dans DCS pour éviter d'avoir un fichier qui gonfle au fur et à mesure des MAJ?
Il doit peut-être garder des fichiers inutiles et donc supprimables, non?
Merci

Non c'est inutile.

Il me semble que la dernière opération effectuée par le script de Mise à Jour est justement un nettoyage des scories du process !

Et d'expérience, la taille de l'ensemble augmente certes (c'est normal, les scènes & modules se complexifient) mais de manière raisonnable.
Je ne penses pas qu'il y ait grand chose que l'on puisse enlever ...

[sprn72]

Sur la dernière mise à jour j'ai perdu à peu près 2Go.
Ca sent le changement de SSD dans pas longtemps à ce rythme.
Merci pour l'info.

Pour ceux qui se pose la question.

Bignewy sur discord.

L'équipe prépare le patch pour aujourd'hui.
Par contre il est conséquent, il sera donc poster certainement plus tard que d'habitude.
Le changelog sera posté plus tard dans la journée.

La 2.5.6 arrive

[overkillke2]

On sait à peu prés ce que va apporter cette MAJ?

[Worg]

-En gros nouveau système d'éclairage de nuit (voir de jour pas d'info la dessus).
- Nouveau modèle de dégât pour les avions WWII.

Plus d'autres choses... Mais quoi ? Mystère.
"NORMALEMENT" finalisation du pod F18 avec possibilité de mettre le pod sur la station 4. Ont verra bien.

[overkillke2]

ah, le nouveau modèle de dégâts c'est une bonne chose, hâte de tester ça

C'est au téléchargement, c'est long mais j'ai très peur d'avoir de très mauvaises surprises à l'arrivée, moi qui utilise les mods tiers à outrance ( comme j'en avais eu lors du passage en 2.5.5).

[#105_Fox3]

Salut a tous

MAJ faite, mais DCS apparaît comme Malware (de type RansomWare) par MalwareBytes et donc fini en quarantaine .
Première fois que je vois ça !

[J0J0Z]

Je ne suis plus moi, le module super carrier ne devrait il pas être dispo avec la release de cette MAJ?? Parce que dans DCS moi j'ai rien du tout...

Le module super carrier ne devrait il pas être dispo avec la release de cette MAJ??

Non, ils ont dit fin Q1 2020 pour le superCarrier.

Bien les boules comme je le craignais!

Les mods VIRPIL, les hangars, tous les trucs que je me servais, ça ne marche plus ! Et j'ai pas tout testé.

J'en ai marre de préparer des trucs qu'ensuite, ça ne marche plus à chaque MAJ

Je crois que je vais raccrocher les gants DCS et me concentrer sur un soft bien abouti et qui ne buggue pas les add-ons à chaque MAJ:
J'ai nommé X-Plane 11 !
