Bravo les gars !!!!

Ada Team a écrit:Nous sommes très fiers d'annoncer la sortie de l'AdA Mod v2.00, le 31 décembre 2011 (histoire de tenir - tout juste ! -le délai annoncé).
L'AdA Mod v2 est un mod pour LockOn : Flaming Cliffs 2 qui modifie et enrichit l'univers initial du jeu en intégrant les principaux appareils de combat utilisés par l'Armée de l'Air et la Marine Nationale au cours des vingt dernières années.




Liste des appareils pilotables (et dotés de modèles de vol spécifiques), apportés par le mod :
- Rafale (versions C, B et M)
- Mirage 2000 (version B, C, D, N et -5F)
- Mirage F1 (versions C, C200, CR et CT)
- Mirage IV-P
- AlphaJet
- Jaguar A
- SEM (Super Etendard Modernisé)

D'autres appareils (IA) ainsi que des armements & bâtiments français sont inclus. Voyez le read-me pour plus d'informations.
Attention, nous conseillons d'installer ce mod sur une copie dédiée (version "clean") de FC2, car les changements apportés - nombreux & profonds - empêche la compatibilité réseau (multi-joueur) avec des installations non-moddées.

Bons vols !

Free patch 1.1.1.1 has been released for the Christmas & New Year holiday season for A-10C Warthog and Black Shark 2. This includes bug fixes, as well as new features, many based on user requests. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/patches/

The development and localisation teams are working hard on finalising the French version of DCS: A-10C Warthog. The Spanish download version of DCS: A-10C Warthog is now available, and the retail DVD version is planned for a release in February.

Development continues on the upcoming add-on "Combined Arms". This paid-for add-on will allow A-10C Warthog, Black Shark 2, and Flaming Cliffs 3 owners to:



- act as ground force commanders as the mission is running,
- direct ground units,
- set fire missions for artillery and multiple rocket launchers,
- take the role of a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC).

As the JTAC, players will have:
- night vision goggles,
- IR pointer,
- laser designator,
- Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR).

Several other new items are still being considered. Combined Arms will work in both single player and multiplayer missions.

Development also continues on Flaming Cliffs 3. This will be a paid-for update to the Flaming Cliffs series which brings it to the level of modern DCS, the most remarkable changes are:

- mission editor,
- AI,
- units,
- dynamic weather,
- graphics sfx.

We consider to include several improvements to aircraft flight models and systems, a resource management system, and several other new features. This will also make Flaming Cliffs online compatible with A-10C and Black Shark 2. The price will depend on the features we include.

Nevada map will become available in the summer. This will be a paid-for add-on that will be compatible with A-10C, Black Shark 2, and FC3. Users that purchased the A-10C beta will get this map for free.

The first "DCS Flying Legends" aircraft will be released in the first half of 2012. As soon as it has gone into "Alpha" testing we will announce the aircraft type.

And, of course - The next US fixed wing jet DCS aircraft is being worked in parallel!

PC PILOT, issue 78 to be published in February 2012 will include a review of Black Shark 2

Finally, may we wish you all a Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year for 2012.
