DCS World Steam Edition News

[h2]Assets Pack Update[/h2][p][/p][p]Since the release of the free DCS: Marianas WWII map and the Magnitude 3 DCS: F4U-1D Corsair, we want to provide an update on the extensive effort being devoted to bringing this scenario to life with the PTO Assets Pack. Learning from some of the European Theatre of War scenarios, the PTO scenario is focused on providing an extensive order of battle for both US and Imperial Japanese forces in the summer of 1944 and to offer an accurate representation of the battle for the Mariana Islands and the Battle of the Philippine Sea.[/p][p][/p][p]New player aircraft coming for this scenario will include both the F6F-3 Hellcat and the A6M5 Zero. 
[/p][p]Since our last update on this project, we can now share with you the specific air, land, and sea units being developed for the PTO Assets Pack, which owners of the existing World War II Assets Pack will be able to purchase with a 30% discount:[/p][p]PTO AI Assets:[/p][p]United States Aircraft[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Development Progress[/h2][h2][/h2][p]Following the initial release of the Mission Save state feature, we have gathered your feedback for further improvements. Based on this, we delivered an API feature request to our talented scripting community which was well received. 
[/p][p]Moving forward, a common request has been saving destroyed unit states on the battlefield. We have now tackled this issue, and destroyed static objects will be created in place of each destroyed ground vehicle, aircraft, infantry unit, or static building (not terrain/map buildings) in the Mission Save state. In this sense, the battlefield wreckage remains where the destruction took place. With the Mission Editor, these objects will be automatically given a "hidden" parameter to not clutter the map view. However, if you want to remove them from the mission because of your plot choice, you can find them in the Mission Editor units list and delete them. We will be releasing this improvement in an upcoming update once testing is fully complete. 
[/p][p]Based on your feedback, our next task for Mission Save state improvements will be to save a group’s waypoint parameters. This work is ongoing and includes the ability to save specific ground vehicles parameters such as ROE and more.[/p][p][/p][h2]Explore new aircraft and terrains for free

Over the past year(s), we’ve completed the core flight-model, engine, APU, electrical, hydraulic, fuel systems, and avionic systems. The cargo bay is fully walkable in VR and flatscreen, with rigged physics for CDS bundles, and the GBU-43/B MOAB. Network-synchronised multi-crew is fully implemented for two players.[/p][p]What we’re still doing
As we approach release, key focus points for the team include finalisation of audio effects in the cargo bay, damage modelling, Levels Of Detail (LODs), integration of a 3rd multi crew slot, and the completion of a vehicle airdrop system in partnership with Eagle Dynamics. We’re also tuning parachute deployment mechanics, including introducing extraction chutes for heavy equipment airdrops, and physically simulated static lines.  [/p][p]Post Early Access Launch
Once the C-130J-30 is released, our focus will turn to the MC-130J. This variant, operated by AFSOC, brings aerial refuelling capabilities, including player-to-player AAR in multiplayer. The MC variant also includes the AN/AAS-52(V) EO-IR pod, and a third crew station for the CSO, or combat systems officer.[/p][p]We thank our community SMEs, test teams, Eagle Dynamics for their support, and every pilot eager to get those four fans of freedom turning. The Herc is rounding the corner, see you on the ramp soon![/p][h2]Pre-order now[/h2][p][/p][p]The DCS: C-130J will be available on Steam at a later date.[/p][h3]eShop Pre-order Program[/h3][p]Available for a limited time at only $55.99[/p][p]Pre-order[/p][p]Thank you again for your passion and support.

[h2]Even more savings![/h2][p][/p][p]For just a few more days, take advantage of our great deals! The DCS MidWeek Sale will end on the 28th of July at 15:00 GMT, so don’t miss, and check out what’s up for grabs![/p][p][/p][h2]Summary[/h2][p][/p][p]DCS Core[/p][p]Some AI flight models such as the B-1B saw improved taxi and takeoff rotation characteristics, and both the B-1B and B-52H received more realistic long-range strike mission payloads. Mission builders may notice new and improved tool-tips and stability fixes, while mission creators receive enhanced a_do_script and a_do_file calls that pass arguments and return values. Spotting dots have been improved, voice-chat crashes have been stamped out, and we corrected warhead modelling for Mk-80 (and related GBUs) and M117 series of bombs that deliver a greater punch. [/p][p]Eagle Dynamics modules[/p][p]The DCS: F-16C Viper now features our first iteration of the AN/AAQ-33 Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP), and will exit early access following the end of the sale. Based on its roadmap, all planned early access features have now been delivered, but it will continue to be supported with additional features; the towed decoy, improved data modem, radar warning receiver handoff mode, and continued data transfer cartridge work. This is in parallel with continued bug fixing and tuning. We also recognize that there are some additional features that some customers desire, but those fall outside the stated scope of the product or would be inaccurate. [/p][p]The DCS: F/A-18C boasts the new Terrain Avoidance (TA) radar mode. For our helicopter buffs, the DCS: AH-64D now offers  more advanced George AI Co-Pilot Gunner Commands! The DCS: Black Shark 3 includes new Instant Action missions for the Iraq map. [/p][p]Third Party modules[/p][p]The recently launched DCS: F4U-1D Corsair by Magnitude has received an impressive follow up with new art and Mission Editor functionality. The DCS: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior by Polychop received attention too and the DCS: JF-17 Thunder by Deka Ironworks got some needed fixes as well. Additionally, the DCS: Cold War Germany map by Ugra got its long awaited improved destruction models and Phase 1 enhancements![/p][p]This update is now live so if you haven’t downloaded please do so and let us know how the changes feel in your cockpit. For a list of all changes, read the full changelog. [/p][p][/p][h2]Community Spotlight

• [p]Weapons. Work in progress fixes for the following bombs explosive mass: M117, Mk-80 series, and WWII AN-M GP series. This also applies to Guided Bomb Units (GBU) that use the Mk-80 series of warheads. This is connected to the changes for SAMP bombs that we did in the previous patch and will be evaluated and finalized in future patches. Most rocket warhead families (at least Hydra/Zuni/FFAR, S-5/8/13/25, and SNEB-68) are already set up with parameters that match our available sources. Actual effect on targets is subject to change along with implementation of the fragmentation model. (We missed mentioning this in June 18’s update).[/p]
