Introduced a new terrain module: DCS: Cold War Germany by Ugra Media
DCS: Data Transfer Cartridge (DTC) by Eagle Dynamics
This initial release of the DTC will allow you to create custom countermeasure programs and radio communication presets for the DCS: F/A-18C and DCS: F-16C. In future updates, this will be expanded to include more mission planning data like navigation waypoints, targets, threats, datalinks, route points, weapon settings, and more. The functionality will also be extended to other aircraft such as DCS: AH-64D and DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer.
DTC programs can be created in the Mission Editor and prior to flying a single-player or multiplayer mission from the Briefing Screen. DTC programs can be saved, exported, and imported, allowing you to create multiple DTC programs for each aircraft based on the mission, and allow you to share DTC programs with friends.
Please see the
DTC Guide and the instructional video coming soon.
