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.
ADI vertical steering works correctly with SCS now.
The last created markpoint will be not blanked from display on TAD in SCS mode.
IFFCC target elevation will be updated from steerpoint, when it was edited in CDU.
When TGP entered LSS and if it was SPI source, SPI will be reset to steerpoint. Once laser track have been obtained, TGP can generate SPI again.

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.

New in DCS: A-10C Warthog Patch 1.1.1.0 (Nov 14, 2011)

FEATURES
Moving and changing cirrus clouds.
Increased the destruction values of buildings. A big and concrete buildings will require more bombs for destruction. For example: a big 16-floor building now requires two Mk-84 rather one Mk-82, as it was earlier. The same holds true for the hardened Command Center and Ammo Depot.

New CBU-97 and CBU-105 animations.
Edited flight manual.

Ka-27s no longer spawn inside each other when taking off from the Kuznetsov.
A-10C cockpit. Warning lights, Gear handle light and CMSC are now properly Self Illuminated.
DCS no longer Stutters and accesses Hard disk during disintegration of Player A-10C.
JTAC will no longer Sparkle unrelated terrain if it obstructs Line of sight to the target, will switch to Type 3 engagement.
Submarines shadows Corrected.
Initial LOD changes no longer cause models to disappear briefly, before the new LOD is displayed.
Train Tunnel entrances are correctly textured now.
JTAC "Request BDA" Tweaked.
The GBU-31 is no longer missing a model for its LOD.
Mission Editor no longer uses excessive amounts of memory when copy/pasting units.
EWR 1L13 ranges in Mission editor now match those in DCS.exe.
Side Front Windscreens tinted.
New E-3A Sentry.
Updated GUI manual.
New trigger rules: Flag Equals, Flag Equals Flag, Flag is Less Than Flag.
New trigger actions: Group MSG (message) and Group SND (sound).
Nights are much more dark now.
following airbases have had their names changed:
UG24: Tbilisi - Soganlug -> Soganlug (runways changed from 14/32 to 13/31)
UGKO: Kutaisi - Kopitnari -> Kutaisi
Helicopter AI (HAI):
When analyzing a tactical situation, the HAI will take in account all threats, not only the target that the HAI is engaging.
If it possible to engage targets from a safe distance, the HAI will not fly close to threats. If it appears that the HAI is not at a safe position (if player lead wingmen are too close to enemy air defenses, for example) the HAI will fly away from away the threat(s) and then start engaging targets from safe a distance.
If it appears impossible to engage targets from safe distance, the HAI will make only one short attack (one missile launch / rocket salvo or cannon burst per run. ) from maximum range of that weapon and then breakaway to make new attack if required. This reduces fire effectiveness, but it greatly increases HAI survival when engaging targets with cannon or rockets. Of course, the HAI will never hover in an unsafe location.
If high-priority targets are screened by low-priority targets that makes impossible to attack high-priority target from safe distance, the HAI will attack low-priority targets first to break the screen. In other words, if you have line of enemy APCs and tanks at 4 km and enemy AAA and SAMs at 12 km, your wingmen will engage those APCs and tanks first. No more flying over the enemies heads.
Jinking anti-flak maneuvering has been added. When flying in the WEZ of AAA, tanks, and APCs, the HAI will fly at high speed and jink. Of course, HAI will not jink when aiming at a target.
AVIONICS
Fixed: RWR symbology intensity knob is now functional.
TGP North arrow follows TGP view when overflying the tracked target now.
TGP Autolase symbology has been improved - a steady/flashing ‘A’ indicator near the laser code on the TGP (autolase conditions are not met if flashing). ‘TGP AUTOLASE FAIL’ and ‘LASER CODE MISMATCH’ WCNs also implemented.
Fixed the GUN READY light logic - the light will be ON only when the gun is really ready to fire (i.e. no more ON while taxiing or taking off); Ground Safety Override Switch will set the light to ON.
