[h2]2025 and Beyond[/h2]
[h3]A Look Ahead[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
2025 promises to be a busy and exciting year for Eagle Dynamics, with the continued improvement of DCS Core, the enhancement of existing modules, and the launch of new and valuable products. Along with our 3rd party affiliates, we aim to elevate DCS to new heights and we hope that this video offers a good glimpse into some of the exciting things we are up to. While several of the products featured will be released in 2025, the video also focuses on our development priorities and objectives, many of which such as Dynamic Campaign, have been in the works for far longer than planned, draining more resources than expected, and sometimes creating frustration for many. This seems to be a constant with technology and engineering projects the world over and ‘par for the course’. But as we push the envelope and seek to achieve ever higher levels of realism and authenticity, we promise to do our very best to meet your expectations. Thank you for standing with us and for helping us improve and grow DCS, and thank you for your understanding and support as we move onwards and upwards.

[h2]Landing Gear Modelling[/h2]
[h3]Development Progress[/h3]



Previously relying on a simplified single-component system, our team has transitioned to a two-component model (strut and tire), solving complex second-order nonlinear differential equations to replicate real-world suspension behavior.

The new model supports various suspension types, such as oleo-pneumatic, rubber stack, and spring-oleo systems, allowing high-precision tuning using drop-test data. A specialized tool was developed to simulate drop tests, ensuring accuracy in energy absorption, displacement, and force metrics.

Tests based on real-world Mi-38 helicopters and WWII-era Bf-109E warbird undercarriage performance demonstrate the model's versatility when compared to similar aircraft in DCS (the Mi-8 and Bf-109K-4), even when dealing with conflicting reference data. These advancements allow for realistic suspension behavior across multiple aircraft types, enhancing the overall flight model fidelity. Please read about the extensive development process behind the new suspension model in the Tire Strut Suspension Modelling white paper.

[h2]DCS in 2024[/h2]
[h3]A Look Back[/h3]



We combined Open Beta and Stable into a single release version only at the start of the year. This meant more time to prepare new releases, test updates, and check fixes and new additions. We remained firmly committed to enhancing both core features and module specific improvements throughout 2024 with well over 500 core fixes and updates, nearly 130 of which addressed AI behaviors alone. We also rolled out substantial changes, enhancements and bug fixes for all of our products, for example: F-16C (200+ items), F/A-18C (150+ items), and AH-64D (nearly 200 items).

Q1 and Early Q2 Milestones
In late February, we boosted terrain scenery performance through optimized instancing and improved streaming. The AH-64D received its long-awaited Fire Control Radar (FCR), while the F/A-18C received a new pilot model and helmets. We also improved cockpit and external textures across most Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft, released a number of fixes for Combined Arms, and launched the “F-15C Aggressors” campaign. April saw more realistic G-effects, improved INS+GPS logic, and the new “Mi-24P Outpost” campaign. In early May, we unveiled the eagerly awaited DCS: Kola Map by Orbx.

Mid-Year Releases
Late-May brought the release of the mighty DCS: F-4E Phantom II by Heatblur Simulations, the “F/A-18C Operation Green Line” campaign, and the free Massun Asset Pack. We also introduced bomb fuse options, pilot model and animation updates for the F-16, and added new FCR modes to the AH-64D. In early June, the very capable DCS: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior by Polychop Simulations arrived alongside the “F/A-18C Operation Mountain Breeze” campaign.

Summer Highlights
July featured the launch of the DCS: Afghanistan map and Flaming Cliffs 2024, complete with three new aircraft and campaigns. We also introduced a new launcher, a Select Role interface, and Dynamic Respawn, alongside AI performance refinements. Notably, the F-16C and F/A-18C radar systems were updated to address false targets, while the Supercarrier gained an Airboss (PriFly deck) feature. In August, we released the DCS: CH-47F, improved the cargo system, introduced a route tool for Select Role, and added the RMAP FCR Mode to the AH-64D.

Fall Advancements
Late September saw significant technology improvements, including the removal of the single-threaded version, the introduction of new Spotting Dots, and major performance optimizations. We enhanced terrain VRAM usage and implemented radar shadows for ground radar in the F-16C, F/A-18C, and AH-64D. Additionally, we rolled out crucial CH-47F features and fixes and substantial updates to the Syria map. October brought our first-ever campaign-only patch and then two new campaigns later in the month, along with F/A-18C loadout enhancements, an AH-64D FCR Air Targeting Mode, and more CH-47F improvements.

Year-End Updates
December opened with the DCS: F-5E Remastered update, new fog/dust and volumetric lighting, a revised selection tool for the Mission Editor, three campaigns, and new features to the Supercarrier deck crew. Shortly thereafter, we launched the DCS: Iraq map. Finally, on Christmas Eve, we delivered high-resolution Heavy Metal Assets for free, a major update to Spotting Dots, critical HUD and FM improvements for the F-16C, and pivotal FM and VRS and flight model enhancements for the AH-64D.

2025 and Beyond
We would like to extend our sincere thanks for your continued support and dedication throughout 2024. We remain committed to enriching DCS. Please stay tuned for the 2025 and Beyond video coming very soon!


[h2]F-100D Super Sabre[/h2]
[h3]Development Report[/h3]



The F-100Ds’ development team, Grinnelli Designs, recently traveled again to Texas to work with the Collings Foundation’s F-100 Super Sabre. This unique opportunity allowed them to capture authentic cockpit audio during flight, preserving the raw and immersive sounds of this iconic aircraft. Please watch the F-100D Dev Log: The Road to Realism - Part 2.

Beyond their work in Texas, they have been focusing on refining the cockpit model. By enhancing the geometry and textures they have ensured that even the most intricate details are represented with precision.

Grinnelli Designs has made substantial improvements to testing and verifying the flight model through the implementation of in-house physics simulation tools. This allows them to quickly verify the accuracy of any changes to the flight model. Work has taken place in other areas such as the “Hun’s” unique Radar Warning Receiver (AN/APR-25 RHAW), Weapons Systems, Electrical Systems, Damage Model, Low Altitude Bombing System, and much more.

“These efforts define our commitment to creating a highly realistic and immersive experience that reflects the legacy of the F-100 Super Sabre. Thank you for your continued support.”

[h2]DCS Update[/h2]
[h3]Development Progress[/h3]



In the most recent update to DCS Core, the “improved spotting dots” option has been replaced by a new Spotting Dots setting. This feature can be toggled Off or set to Auto, 1 Pixel, or 2 Pixels, and it can also be enforced through the Mission Editor. When peripheral VR quad views are active, the spotting dot size will default to 1 pixel.
Mission Editor functionality has been expanded. New triggers allow for toggling individual drawings on or off. Unloading multiple cargo items at once is now supported, and an error causing the display of non-cargo objects in the radio menu has been corrected. Issues related to multi-selection tools, rotating units, and loading templates have also been resolved. For the full list of changes, please read the full changelog.



The DCS: F-16C Viper has received noteworthy improvements to its heads-up display (HUD), flight model, and radar behavior. The HUD’s Limited Refresh Rate now updates airspeed, altitude, and acceleration at fixed intervals, making fast-changing parameters correctly skip values. Based on user feedback, corrections to excessive energy loss at higher angles of attack and slower speeds have been introduced, with further work planned for high-speed regimes. Deep stall issues have been addressed, along with yaw behavior during roll inputs in landing configurations. Various radar bugs have been fixed, including trackfile behavior in STT, TWS altitude rounding discrepancies, and lock range in ACM Bore mode. External fuel transfer now functions even if AIR SOURCE is set to RAM, and a flicker in the CCIP aiming marks has been eliminated. The developers have also released a revised Early Access Guide with new chapters on navigation and tactical employment, plus updates to the radio communications and datalink sections.



The DCS: F/A-18C benefits from fixes to weapons avionics crashes, the addition of gray-scale (will still appear green despite name) ground radar maps, and resolution of several texture and INS configuration errors.



The DCS: AH-64D has undergone a range of flight model improvements to make yaw control less sensitive, adjust rotor thrust at low speeds, and refine the vortex-ring state (VRS) condition that is accompanied by new visual and audio warnings. Minor rotor cone animation issues have been addressed, SCAS drift during hover has been corrected, and the interface for George AI has been enhanced to assist color-blind players. Multiple small bugs, including incorrect TADS camera clipping and error messages for en-route distances, have also been fixed.



The DCS: CH-47F has seen a range of additions: new trimmer options, windshield wipers, corrected LCT schedule, and improved Cyclic Stick position for air start. The crew animation speed has been raised when switching seats, and numerous fixes address engine repairs, IR strobe patterns, and ramp visualization.



The DCS: Supercarrier update addresses several issues with AI taxiing, deck crew animations, and spawn logic. Directors should no longer repeat “stop” gestures excessively, and wheel chocks function correctly after teleporting to the hangar. Catapult launching logic has also been improved. Despite these updates, a known issue persists regarding the “disable deck crew” option not functioning properly unless it is set beforehand in the general settings.



The newly remastered DCS: F-5E includes cockpit shake and vibration animations, wingtip oscillation at high AOA, and updated LERX vapor effects. RWR dimmer controls, service hatch panels, parking lot static aircraft placements, and theme loading pictures have all been adjusted.

DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics
Improvement of the flight model and SCAS.
Improvement. The characteristic of the increase in the thrust of the main rotor has been refined in the speed range of 0-10 m/s (the helicopter's behavior at the moment of nose tilt to accelerate and when hovering after deceleration will become more realistic).
Improvement. There was overly sensitive yaw control.
The sensitivity of the control in the heading channel has been significantly reduced. Now the increase in angular velocity with a 1-inch pedal movement has been reduced by about 25%, which is beneficial for improving the comfort of control.
Improvement. There was overly sensitive pitch control.
The main rotor rotation characteristics in roll and pitch have been adjusted, which has slightly reduced the control sensitivity in the roll and pitch channels.
The VRS (vortex-ring state) phenomenon of the Main rotor.
Additional game notification about the VRS phenomenon. The player has been given the option to turn on sound and visual notifications about the onset of the phenomenon and its progress. Enabling/disabling is carried out in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings.
The conditions for the occurrence of the VRS phenomenon on the Main rotor have been reworked. Now the Main rotor "entry" into the VRS phenomenon takes a little longer than before. In addition, the critical vertical descent speed that leads to the appearance of VRS is no longer a "strict" value, which increases the realism of “entering” in VRS mode.
During an autorotation landing with the engines running, the helicopter could previously have been in the VRS phenomenon. Fixed
Animation of the Main rotor cone tilt disappeared.
There was no reaction of the rotor cone to the deflection of the helicopter cyclic stick - Fixed
Helicopter SCAS.
When hovering with Position Hold enabled, a slight drift would sometimes occur - Fixed
Independent deactivation of roll and pitch channel in ATT-hold mode. For ATT-Hold mode, separate disabling has been added in the roll and pitch channels if the disabling conditions have occurred only in one of the channels (previously, both channels were disabled if the disabling conditions occurred only for roll, for example). Displayed on the controls indicator.
The efficiency of the SCAS response has been increased when controlling the pilot and in the ATT-Hold (Position, Velocity, Attitude) mode family:
1) when controlling the pilot
the SCAS "blurs" the increase in angular velocity from the cyclic stick and pedals, thereby giving the pilot a little more time for piloting accuracy, which increases piloting comfort;
2) in the ATT-Hold mode family the SCAS reacts more sensitively to changes, trying to compensate for the deviation from the specified mode/parameter in the "bud".
Helicopter SCAS - known issues
When turning ON or OFF the Position-Hold mode, several damped oscillations in roll and/or pitch may occur
Added AI George interface enhancements for color-blind players. May be selected in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges
Systems:
Automatic firing of radar guided missiles is fixed.
Fixed 'Nose wheel steering high sensitivity button' not popping out after nose wheel gear lift off, when autostart was performed before.
Changed F1CE/BE IDN logic in TE mode - the wide needle will stay at the last valid position instead of going to 0, when a TACAN station is not received.
Corrected bug in which, with additional vector selected and no TACAN signal, the wide needle always pointed to the West.
Radio:
Fixed an issue with radios that were not tuning to Easy Comms frequency, if attempted to do this while being in AR (OFF) mode (but with electric bus power being available).
A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric bus power.
F1BE: Only TRAP-136 can be used now for Easy Comms frequency autotune from the rear seat.
F1BE: With Easy Comms option enabled, TRAP-136 priority is automatically switched to the seat from which the radio dialog was activated.
F1BE: Now the other seat radio panel is not affected by Easy Comms autotune. I.e., when TRAP-136 communication is activated from the rear seat, the forward seat panel frequency/mode is not changed, and vice versa.
General:
Added several Single and Quick Start Afghanistan map missions (Mirage F1 CE, EE and BE).
Added Iraq Quick Start and Single missions.
Fixed texture of Mirage F1EE weapons panel integral light.
Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons.

DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev
A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric power.
