In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, learn the basics of Continuously Computed Impact Point (CCIP) and Constantly Computer Release Point (CCRP) bombing for unguided bombs. In the early access release, such bombs will include the Mk-84, Mk-82 LDGP, Mk-82SE, Mk-82AIR, BDU-33, CBU-87, and CBU-97. This is from a pre-release build and is very much work-in-progress. We plan to release the Early Access version sometime in early Autumn 2019 (Autumn 2019 starts on 23 September).

The pull-up cue and CCIP delayed release cue attack are being tuned at the time of creating this video.

DCS: P-47 Progress Update
One of the most anticipated WWII modules for DCS is the P-47 and we are excited to say it is getting close. We now have a brand new external model and cockpit in final phase of completion and our FM guru Yo-Yo is hard at work on the turbo-compressor unit and remaining FM issues. It shouldn't be much longer before you will get your hands on this wonderful module.



Helicopter Progress
Our 3D artists continue to work on the new cockpits for both the Ka-50 and the new Mi-24 Hind. As you can see below they are coming along nicely. We look forward to sharing more information on both these products as they progress.



DCS World Update
We sincerely apologize for not releasing a new Open Beta update this week, we should be back with one next week. One of the big fixes to be included will be a solution to the aircraft bouncing when taking off from a carrier and landing at an airfield. While you wait, the Grim Reapers found a nice little workaround, check out the video here. Thanks to Cap and his team at GR for their help.

As always, we highly appreciate your support!

DCS: A-10C Graphic Updates
One of the most anticipated updates right now is the free updates to the A-10C cockpit. 3D modelling is mostly complete and texturing is well underway. Today we would like to show you the amount of detail going into different parts of the cockpit, in this case, the seat. In the near future, we will be showing off some of the texturing work as well.



DCS: F-16 Viper Academic Videos

Much like the Hornet, these videos will continue right through Early Access helping you learn the Viper as it develops.

DCS: F/A-18C Current News
We know many users are concerned about progress on the Hornet with everything else going on, but we can assure you that we are still hard at work on getting the Hornet completed. Currently, AGM-62 ‘Walleye II’ is making good progress, but we need to develop a new man-in-the-loop data link from scratch for this. This is taking a lot of the team's time currently. When this new tech is completed though, it can later be used for the SLAM and SLAM-ER. As well, this week Range & Bearing Launch mode (R/BL) was added for internal testing for the Harpoon, as well as POP and SKIM options added to Terminal Mode, these should be coming to an Open Beta release very soon.

DCS Events BFM Tourney
Have you been watching the Fight for Honor BFM tournament on Twitch? There has been some incredible matches so far. As an example here is a fight between B3RNO vs Rossmum. Check it out and more at the DCS World Events Twitch channel!

This week we moved Open Beta to Release with the following highlights:
Issues with -norender and Dedicated Server were solved
Issues with JDAM and Auto-bombing on the Hornet fixed
Spitfire sun glare fixed
Many updates to RAZBAM, Heatblur and Magnitude 3 modules
