[h2]A DCS World Terrain[/h2]



We are glad to announce that DCS: Syria is approaching it’s final stages of development. This map covers most of the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, it includes several climatic zones and territories of 5 states - Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.

Since the times of Ancient Egypt, the Roman and Ottoman empires, large-scale wars were fought across these lands. Thousands of years ago these battles were fought with swords and arrows, today these areas have become the theatres of grandiose air combat.

During the Arab-Israeli confrontation, Soviet MiGs, American Phantoms and French Mirages fought here. And today almost the entire arsenal of DCS combat aircraft and helicopters rises into the sky above this territory.

DCS Syria will bring 32 aerodromes including the international airports of Damascus, Beirut, Adana and Haifa.

Check out the Ancient Palmyra districts development screenshots.




[h2]DCS World 2.5.6.50726[/h2]



We have been enhancing the core of DCS World. With your feedback and the release of DCS: The Channel, we have been able to streamline texture and save game pre-loading. We are still working on the F/A-18C Hornet and F-16C Viper features and will share more information at a later date.

For this Open Beta Update, our focus has been on some earlier DCS World modules, with the aim of setting the standard across our range of modules. Various Second World War campaigns by Reflected Simulations have been updated and now include the P-47D Thunderbolt as an AI aircraft. This includes the LF Mk.IX Spitfire The Big Show Campaign.

The F-14B Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations has received aerodynamic updates and increased compatibility with DCS: Supercarrier.

The MiG-21bis first phase cockpit build was pushed to fix bugs in the external model. The volumetric lights for the gauges are new and we look forward to your feedback regarding any FPS loss.

You can read the full changelog here




[h2]AV-8B V/STOL[/h2]



The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) DCS: AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL is a single-engine ground-attack aircraft of the second generation Harrier Jump Jet family.

The Spanish and Italian Navy both actively operate the AV-8B V/STOL. The Night Attack was first seen causing real havoc with the United States Marine Corps during the Gulf War of 1991. Since then it has served in multiple large operations, most notably the Iraq War of 2003 where 60 AV-8Bs were involved in over 2,000 sorties and enabled 24-hour ground force support. The marvellous machine continues to provide exceptional realism and withholds many features a Hornet Pilot could only dream of.

Capable of vertical or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL), the Anglo-American development is the perfect addition to your aircraft-carrier compatible modules.

Check out the AV-8B Night Attack


Thank you again for your passion and support,


Kind regards,

DCS: The Channel Map is now available in Early Access. Our map of the South East of England and North Eastern France encompasses historical airfields, urban areas, roads and railways, ports and other features that make it the perfect setting for the World War II air war in Europe between 1940 and 1945.

This highly detailed map also provides a wonderful opportunity to mass deploy ground assets and to re-enact epic air battles and enjoy ground operations not yet seen in DCS World.

[h2]Early Access Release[/h2]




This week we Introduce the heavyweight Republic P-47D Thunderbolt, which first took to the skies in May, 1941. Nicknamed the Jug, it was a real workhorse of the Allied victory, weighing nearly twice as much as the British Spitfire. Fully loaded, it could deliver about half the payload of a B-17 Flying Fortress.

The P-47D was popular amongst pilots, with an astounding safety record, a roomy cockpit and an enhanced visibility bubble canopy. The Republic Aviation factories in New York, Indiana and Buffalo assembled 15,600 units between 1942 and 1945. The Pratt & Whitney R-2800-59 Double Wasp radial engine enabled the Juggernaut to keep up with the nimble and lightning-fast North American P-51D Mustang. Thunderbolts were sent to Britain, France and even the Soviet Union, where they largely served in interceptor roles.

The new DCS: P-47 Thunderbolt is designed to work on the latest DCS World 2.5.6 and is not compatible with previous versions. It takes advantage of our latest graphics and texture technology, enabling you to push the limits of your system, whilst maintaining good frame rates.

We hope you will enjoy this update to the World War II era product range and look forward to your constructive feedback, which helps us deliver better products.

Make sure you take advantage of the Early Access 20% discount.




[h2]Development Report[/h2]




As stated in previous news, we have spent a lot of time performing Computational Fluid Dynamics research. Almost 250 different calculations for every missile variant have been made. Our results have enabled us to simulate aerodynamic characteristics with a much higher level of accuracy.

In contrast to the old missile dynamics model, the new one includes stability and control characteristics. We have calculated missile mechanical properties such as center of gravity and moment of inertia before ignition and after burnout. More major updates include; revised data for rocket motor performance, ballistics and range. Development of a velocity-altitude adaptive autopilot. Frequency response with the addition of deflection acceleration feedback. The construction of the electromechanical fin actuator assembly and Step response reaction control system. Autopilot and lofted trajectory for long-range shots.

Please read the full air-to-air missile development report




[h2]SLAM, AG Radar [/h2]




We would like to thank everyone who participated in the F/A-18C Hornet roadmap poll. It has helped us plan the next list of deliverables for 2020. Read the full list of features here.

This week we introduce the first iteration of the air-to-ground radar for the F/A-18C Hornet. This first version models MAP mode and allows you to search for and designate target locations. Later, we will be adding other modes like the EXPAND levels, Ground Moving Target, SEA, and Terrain.

In the next update, we have both air-to-ground and air-to-air updates for the Hornet targeting pod. This includes more realistic AG tracking modes and FLIR tracking of aerial targets in cooperation with the radar.

In this week's update, we explore the inclusion of the IN ZONE LAUNCH ACCEPTABLE REGION (IZLAR) for the JDAM. This provides additional delivery information and will be tied to the later inclusion of pre-planned IZLARs and multiple attack points. Watch the video here.

We hope that these videos help you learn the new features of the F/A-18C and look forward to your feedback.


Thank you for your passion and support and as always, fly safe.
