Development Branch Changelog
In this thread we'll try to describe updates happening in the Development branch of Arma 3.
This changelog is not complete, nor confirmed to be working as advertised. Again, Development branch does not pass internal QA before publication. Stick with main branch if you do not want to deal with the (big) potential issues and frequent data transfers.
Feel free to discuss the updates to this branch in the relevant thread.

EXE rev. 142168 (game)
EXE rev. 142168 (launcher)
Size: ~690 MB (depends on Apex ownership)
DATA Tweaked: The Malden DLC artwork for the DLC Browser was updated to the final version (Shift+P) Added: The Malden DLC description in the DLC Browser now leads to a correct address (https://malden.arma3.com), which will go live with the DLC release Added: Radio voice-overs to Combat Patrol Fixed: Shadows were clipping on the Gryphon's nozzle Tweaked: The helicopter 3rd person view was returned to a fixed chase spot without smoothing and pitch following (https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/204694-helicopter-camera/) Tweaked: The availability of the debug console can now be configured using the CfgDebugConsole class Added: The task 'description' property can be now defined as a formatted array in the CfgTaskDescriptions class Tweaked: The debug console can now be configured with the "enableDebugConsole" root mod parameter Tweaked: Flight model of the Gryphon plane (inc. fixed stall and better rudder authority) Tweaked: Flight model of the Shikra plane (it should now have improved stability and more correct AoA behavior) Tweaked: Flight model of the Sentinel UCAV (better stability, less maneuverability) Tweaked: Flight model of the Buzzard plane (slightly more power, stability and fun) Tweaked: The default FOV in helicopters was increased to 0.9 Fixed: An aircraft zoom-in bug for some mods (https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/204980-helicopter-fov-changes-on-airspeed-exceeds/) Tweaked: Flight model of the Black Wasp II plane (it should be more stable and more correct AoA behavior)
ENGINE Added: extCameraParams[] = {-1} to force the old external camera behavior Tweaked: The diagnostics executable should now crash earlier in case of invalid memory addressing. Please report all crashes, especially when the "Forced crash: array access out of range" message appears in the RPT file. We hope to use fixes of such crashes to make Arma 3 more stable in the long run, but need these more drastic measures to track them more effectively. Eden Editor Fixed: Potential crash when using a mod filter on an empty tree Fixed: Config warning when using a mod filter on an empty object tree
