I have released version 2.8.1. This version is a maintenance release for the recent 2.8.0, with a large datalink performance improvement and a few fixes.
Datalink performance
The datalink simulation on the server side has received a large performance increase. It was the main reason for slowdowns on big missions with a lot of units.
If you had disabled the datalink simulation for performance reasons, please give it another try: it should now run fine even on large missions.
Licensing fix
A valid license key could be rejected after a DCS crash or a bad exit, leaving LotAtc in demo mode while your license was perfectly valid. This is now fixed.
Client fixes
- The comment cell edit field is visible again in the objects table
- Docks keep their default title after a restart, instead of the name of the last selected item
What’s next ?
The LotAtc 2.x branch stays in maintenance mode. The work continues on LotAtc 3.0: new map engine, new terrain engine, UI rework, network protocol update and many new features.
Versioning
The 2.8.1 is compatible with 2.3.x branch or later
Starting with the 2.3, all minor version changes (2.3, 2.4, 2.5, …) are compatible with each other.
