I guess this is also the integration patch, merging Open Beta with standard.

I think so. It's pretty big, I'm showing 165Gb with a more than 3 hr projected DL time.

DCS: MiG-21bis

• Added clickable polarization filter for the radar screen (controls the radar screen illumination).

Hope this works. Very difficult to see the screen sometimes.

For the MiG-21, Brit and I were glad to see: 

• Special options: changed default ASP reticle state from GAMING to REALISTIC (unchecked). For GAMING state, the user needs to check this option.

Hopefully, this should eliminate confusion.

GAMING to REALISTIC

I'm assuming that we (JG1) should select REALISTIC...?

Gaming means that the ASP reticle moves to the target.

Realistic means the ASP reticle stays in the center.

Honestly, everyone should be on realistic, as it's preferable.  But, at the end of the day, it's personal choice.

NOTE: they've reversed the check box.  So... I originally had it checked to "Realistic."  After the update, when I checked the Special tab, it was now checked to "Gaming."

So, I had to uncheck it go back to the settings I originally had.

TLDR - everyone will just need to confirm what they have after this update.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but Hawg reports his fps and visuals have vastly improved!

Yeah, it seems a lot smoother for me.

Visuals are a tad bit better.  We'd have to test the disappearing dot thing in VR.

Love the new mouse cursor.

Flying yesterday looking for the MiG-21 had the same results as I saw previously, it would go from a big dot to a little plane but not invisible in between.

Same.
