•Dust and smoke grenade effects at night no longer appear as if day.
•Fixed building errors at Sukhumi airbase
•Visibility range of rocket smoke marker has been increased.
•Contrail duration time is reduced.
•Corrupted NVG image after long use is corrected.
•Tree shadow rendering improved.
AI
•SEAD flights use anti-radiation missiles correctly again.
•Crash with more than one aerial tanker in a mission is corrected.
•Orbit trigger action has been corrected.
•FARP and airbase ATC now respond correctly after landing.
•Ground unit logic of driving over bridges adjusted.
•Repeating wingman rejoin messages fixed.
A-10C Specific 1.1.1.1 Patch Changes
GENERAL
•Updated A-10C flight manual.
GRAPHICS
•Canopy reflections have been corrected.
•Targeting pod sensor head flicking fixed.
AI
•JTAC radio options now appear properly for clients.
•A-10C wingman AI evasive manoeuvring adjusted.
AIRCRAFT AND WEAPONS
•Fixed occasional crash using CBU-97 and CBU-105.
•Occasional A-10C engine shut down during start up or taxi is fixed.
•A-10C weapon alignments adjusted.
AVIONICS
•A-10C RWR now correctly detects Pyotr Velikiy radar locks and launches.

•Hydra MK1 rockets are correctly displayed as Target Practice (TP) in DSMS now.
•Engine oil pressure lights logic fixed. They will light when pressure is low whether the engines are running or not.
•TGP gimbal will remain stowed now if TGP is OFF or STBY, and HOTAS ‘Slave All to SPI’ or ‘Slave TGP to Steerpoint’ commands have been attempted.
•Manually entered magnetic variation (CDU OPTIONS page) will now be applied to all directions in TAD and CDU. Exception is CDU OFFSET page, which always uses the variation computed by EGI.
•The map convergence correction was applied to TAD. Now the flight plan line is always oriented straight up when the aircraft is flying along it.
•With SCS mode selected CDU STEER and ANCHOR pages will provide steering to the SCS point instead of steerpoint. Same applies to the HUD steering symbology.
•SCS point color on TAD was changed to yellow.
•Flight plan lines are correctly removed now from TAD when SCS is selected.
•Flight plan waypoints auto-sequence is disabled when SCS is active.
•IFFCC target elevation cannot be edited in SCS now.

•Fixed wrong geographical coordinates position (it was shifted up) on TGP display.
•Fixed: external fuel tanks are red boxed on DSMS.
•Fixed wrong symbols input on UFC upon the first attempt.
•IFFCC hot elevations can be entered via scratchpad now.
•Overhead markpoint elevation is set from radar altimeter if IFFCC hot elevation is selected.
•If DTS fails of goes into search, flashing XXXX is shown in HUD target elevation window. Pressing UFC ENT makes it steady.
•DTSAS Coordinate Ranging will be inoperative if DTSAS is in search.
•LASER CODE MISMATCH caution will be displayed now only if Autolase was set ON in the profile.
•Fixed store settings display in Quick Look profile.
•‘IFF’ VMU message will be heard now if IFF alert was set up via IFFCC TEST menu.
•HUD is correctly initialized with HARS mode at ramp start.
•Selecting profiles while INVALID FUZING was visible on HUD will not result to wrong sight calculations anymore.
•PBIL jitter (especially in CCIP CR) was eliminated.
•MRS will correctly account now for MIN TOF set in BDU-33 profile.
•DRC now should display correct impact point according to DES TOF set in profile.
•Fixed MRS/DRC calculations for CBU-97.
•DRC/MRS calculations now account for target elevation - i.e. they should work correctly in mountains.
•PBIL does not move oddly (like going parallel to horizon) anymore on low altitude deliveries.
•CCIP pipper does not jitter anymore with CBU-97.
•TGP line-of-sight does not return to the LSS start point anymore when laser track was exited.
•Default CBU-97/105 open height is temporarily changed to 1800 ft.
•Slave All to SPI function was adjusted for AIM-9. Now if TGP is A-A mode, and is SOI, AIM-9 will slave to TGP LOS (other sensors will be not affected), otherwise AIM-9 will slave to current SPI, as well as other sensors.
•So called ‘initial points’ will be loaded with correct elevation into CDU.
•Maverick slew sensitivity is independent of HOTAS throttle slew sensitivity now. Slew logic was reversed -0.5 is most sensitive, and 9.5 is least sensitive. Adjusted HOTAS throttle slew sensitivity range, and values minimum step.
•Fixed FPS drop down by 30-40% when ILS is turned on.
•Search radars now display correctly on the RWR.
•Changes in balance for A-10C (GAU-8 ammo weight and handling and general fine tune of weight distribution) have been made.

AIRCRAFT AND WEAPONS
•Landing gear door animation for Ka-50 is fixed.
•Trim with force feedback joysticks has been fixed.
•NVG effects re-done.
•Turning down Shkval contrast, produced Negative light in cockpit, making HUD completely dark at night, effect of this problem has been reduced.
Note: v1.1.1.1 will break any joystick or keyboard config that uses custom modifier keys - It is a simple fix to re-add the Custom Modifier Key to the Modifier list.

When: Saturday 10-Dec2011 Time: 20:30 – 23:30 GMT Both Blue and Red forces comms will be hosted on the 104th Phoenix TeamSpeak Server.
Where:
104th Dedicated Server. Password to be given during TS briefing
How:
This will be a closed password required event. In order to sign-up, please post in the OPFOR 11-3 thread on the 104th forums that you wish to join. Make sure to include the names of all the pilots you would like to have participate including their 104th forum user name so that they may be setup with access to their respective planning room. Also include your preferred side to fly, the type of aircraft, and the airbase for every pilot. Note that you may not get your preferred plane slot and may be allocated differently in the interest of team balance. Participants will be accepted up to 48 hours before the event if there are available slots still left. All squadrons and individual ‘lone wolf’ players are welcomed. Once you have been signed on to the event, you will have access to a private planning room for your chosen side, either Red or Blue.
If you are not sure you can make it to the event or stay the duration of the mission, then please do not sign up! For the next event, you may not be allowed to participate if you are a no show. People with older PCs and/or internet connections should consider if their PC is up to the task of handling this event. Make sure to turn down all graphic options. Event is limited to 64 players maximum. 32 per side.
Mission Description:
TBA.
The mission will be edited from on of the current version so that both sides have equal distances to targets. The final mission with briefing will be available soon in the planning threads. The winning team will be the team to score the most points at the end of the 3 hour event. Intel on point values/mission goals to follow soon in this thread. Statistics and scoring for the event are tracked and will be posted on the 104th forum after the event. Mission will remain on "Pause" until all players are ready to start as monitored by the server admin.
Legal payloads: (TBA)
Match Rules
- 1 Life per player. Players must exit the game server immediately after their death or a penalty will be applied.
- You may exit flight after landing and coming to a full stop at a friendly base to refresh game or choose a new available slot. This will not be counted as a loss. Ask admin for permission to rejoin before exiting.
- Pilots may land and rearm only at friendly available bases. Landing anywhere else will be considered a loss.
- Assigned player slots can be changed between pilots of the same team, if agreed between both pilots or if an empty slot is available.
- You cannot quit in flight intentionally during the event for any reason and rejoin. Players disconnected due to a game crash or internet disconnection may only rejoin if granted permission by an admin (as admin for permission to rejoin). You will not be allowed to reconnect at any time if you were engaged with any enemy.
- All pilots must land BEFORE the end of the event. A notification will be given when there are 10 minutes left in the event. Any pilot still in the air at the end of the event will be counted as a loss and any points obtained by that pilot during that last flight will be revoked.
General server rules as listed in 104th mission briefing apply to this event. Max ping 400ms will be manually enforced by admin.
Turn down as many graphic options as you can.
Even more than you would normally flying online. Turn down all but textures.
textures high (for instrument readability)
water = normal
visib range = medium
heat blur = off
shadows = active planar
Connection speed in MP options = ASDL 256/128
