DCS: L-39 Albatros Update

 

We have been making great progress on the L-39 Albatros Open Beta and we are now nearing the end of the open beta with the upcoming release of the L-39ZA version and the interactive training missions.

 

Su-33 and MiG-29 Update for DCS World

 

Both the Su-33 and MiG-29 are getting some love! We are working on the Professional Flight Model (PFM) for the Su-33. This will be based on the Su-27 PFM, but will be adapted for weights, the tail hook, and its distinctive aerodynamic features. Once we complete the flight model of the Spitfire IX, we will begin work on a new flight model for the MiG-29. Speaking of the MiG-29, we are also completing work on an all-new external model!

 

Happy New Year!

The Eagle Dynamics Team

DCS World Future

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133781&stc=1&d=1454077520

 

Dear Pilots!

 

2015 was an important year for DCS World with the introduction of new Eagle Dynamics Modules like DCS: L-39 Albatros, DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range, and both Su-27 and Ka-50 campaigns. Just as important, we launched our new graphics engine, the ability to support multiple maps, introduction of cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft, and a rapidly growing number of high quality 3rd party developers. These accomplishments have laid the foundation for great things in 2016 and beyond.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133787&stc=1&d=1454077567

 

We also launched the new DCS World website that you can view here:

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/index.php

 

On both our Youtube channel and Facbook page, we released many new videos of modules and news updates. Here are some of our favorite highlights:

[ame]

Our fundamental goals for DCS World remain unchanged: we aim to build a deeply immersive and accurate world simulation engine that allows you to enjoy the highest levels of fidelity in aircraft operations from WWII onwards, in wonderfully detailed and varied areas of the globe while offering an ever more credible ground simulation experience.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133782&stc=1&d=1454077520

 

DCS World 2.0 in 2016 will offer new clouds and weather effects; improved HDR; deferred lighting (more light sources); new FLIR system; an improved Air Traffic Control (ATC) system; enhanced explosions, over-wing vapor, and rain on canopy; procedural grass and vegetation; improved multiplayer with dedicated server support; a new Air Combat Generator with enhanced user control of air-to-air generated missions; new custom overlays option for the Mission Editor, and a new Virtual Reality (VR) tab in Options which will improve the DCS World experience in VR.

 

Aircraft Modules

 

Eagle Dynamics’s first goal in 2016 is to wrap up the L-39 Albatros with the addition of the L-39ZA version along with the addition of interactive training missions. We will also continue to improve the cooperative multiplayer experience in the L-39 as a testbed for this technology.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133783&stc=1&d=1454077520

 

In parallel we continue to work on the F/A-18C Hornet. We are currently working on the cockpit and setting up its functionality. Later in 2016 we plan to release the Hornet as an “Early Access” product that will allow you to participate in early testing.

 

Our goals for DCS World War II remain unchanged and are still focused on a stable of WWII aircraft in addition to a 1944 map of Northern France with period ground units. We hope to finish the Spitfire IX in mid-2016 followed by the P-47D at the end of the year. We will also continue to fine-tune the P-51D, Fw 190 and Bf 109.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133784&stc=1&d=1454077538

 

To complete the update to all DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft, we plan to add a new 3D external model for the MiG-29 with the incorporation of the Professional Fight Models (PFM) to both the Su-33 and MiG-29.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133785&stc=1&d=1454077538

 

In the first half of 2016, several new 3rd party aircraft modules will also be launched. These include the F-5E Tiger II by Belsimtek, the SA342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations, and the AJS-37 Viggen by Leatherneck Simulations.

 

Map Modules

 

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map is being enhanced with the addition of:

 

  • Tonopah Air Force Base
  • New casino/hotels in the Las Vegas strip
  • A number of airfields and landing strips in the central (detailed) portion of the map
  • The National Training Center (NTC)
  • Improved grass and ground clutter
  • Plus a host of minor improvements

 

We have also been working on the DCS: Strait of Hormuz map with the primary focus on F/A-18C operations. For this release we are working on our new T5 dynamic mesh terrain technology that we believe will bring this map a new dimension in quality and detail.

 

The third map being worked on is the 1944 Northern France map. We see this period map as a cornerstone element to create an immersive World War II air combat experience.

 

Aircraft Carriers

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=133786&stc=1&d=1454077538

 

We see 2016 as a big year for aircraft carrier operations as we plan to release both Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier modules. Both of these modules will be incredibly detailed models with working elevators, interior hanger bays, animated ship systems, and the ability to walk around inside the ships. These will be optional modules that would replace the existing ships currently in DCS World.

 

New Campaigns

 

As we release maps and aircraft, we will also continue to offer new campaign modules. These will include both training and combat scenario campaigns.

 

Summary

 

We see 2016 as a very exciting time for DCS World with the growth in maps, aircraft, and features. When we include all the new aircraft and map modules being developed by our talented 3rd parties, 2016 will be an exceptional and fun time in the skies of DCS World.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

NOW AVAILABLE: A-10C: 16-2 Red Flag Campaign and DCS 2.0.1 Update

 

The second 16-2 Red Flag campaign for DCS World 2.0 and the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map 2.0.1 is now available. This time the focus is on the A-10C Warthog.

The A-10C: 16-2 Red Flag Campaign is a depiction of flying the A-10C “Warthog” during a typical Red Flag exercise in the skies over Nevada. This campaign includes extensive briefing, map, and lineup card PDF files for each mission and was designed in consultation with the renowned author Steve Davies.

All of the missions are based on input from pilots that have flown in Red Flag exercises, and it will provide you a challenge that will test even the most skilled virtual pilots.

 

Features:

 

  • 10 handcrafted missions that depict the types of missions an A-10C pilot would fly in a Red Flag
  • Highly detailed mission briefings, mission maps, and lineup cards as PDF files
  • Custom voice-overs and hundreds of triggers
  • Created in partnership with the author Steve Davies and pilots that have flown Red Flags

DCS World Weekend News Update - 11 March 2016

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=136453&stc=1&d=1457699273

 

DCS World 1.5.3 Update 1

 

Today we will release the Update 1 for DCS World version 1.5.3. The fixes and additions to this update are numerous, but highlights include:

  • Fixes and improvements to the F-86F, MiG-15bis, Bf 109K-4, and Fw 190D-9
  • Fixes and changes to Combined Arms
  • Improved localization for Russian and Chinese versions

And many other changes that will be listed in the 1.5.3 Update 1 changelog.

 

Please use the auto updater to update your existing DCS World installation. If you will be installing DCS World for the first time, please go to: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/stable/

 

DCS: MiG-15bis by Belsimtek Release

 

Belsimtek and The Fighter Collection are pleased to announce that DCS: MiG-15bis is ready for release and may be purchased as a digital download version for $49.99!

 

Purchase from: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/

 

Trailer

 

DCS: MiG-15bis is a highly realistic simulation of the legendary Soviet fighter jet MiG-15bis, also known as the “Korean surprise”. The aircraft received its nickname during the Korean War, where it demonstrated great effectiveness against the F-86 and other US fighters. Developed in the years immediately following World War II, the single-engine MiG-15bis was a first-generation jet fighter designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau of the Soviet Union. Due to its high reliability, easy maintenance and huge firepower (two 23 mm NR-23 guns and one 37(!) mm N-37 gun), the airplane was in service in many countries. With over 12,000 units built, the MiG-15 is believed to have been the most widely produced jet aircraft ever made.

 

Since February 2015, when the Open Beta version of DCS: MiG-15bis was offered for download, Belsimtek has undertaken great efforts to improve the module. In particular, a highly detailed flight manual and training missions were completed. The flight dynamics were further developed and tuned so that now even advanced and critical regimes such as stall and spin are fully realistic. Using the original full technical documentation of the real MiG-15bis during the development process, it was possible for the engine model and the flight dynamics to reach a very high level of accordance with the real flight characteristics of the aircraft.

 

The installation package includes both a quickstart and a full flight manual, in-game training missions in English and Russian language, and single combat missions. The quickstart manual enables the player to quickly learn basic procedures like take-off, landing and weapon usage without the need to delve deep into the full flight manual from the beginning.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=136454&stc=1&d=1457699273

 

Key features of DCS: MiG-15bis include:

  • Unmatched flight physics that allow you to truly feel what it's like to fly this legend of the USSR.
  • Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit.
  • Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse.
  • Accurate MiG-15bis model, country markings, and weapons.
  • Detailed modelling of the MiG-15bis instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, oxygen and electrical systems.
  • Battle DCS: F-86F Sabres in single and multiplayer games.

 

Weekend Bundle Sale

 

Commemorating the release of MiG-15bis, we are offering two MiG-15bis deals!

  • DCS: MiG-15bis + DCS: F-86F Sabre for only $59.99 USD.
  • DCS: MiG-15bis + DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map for only $69.99 USD.

Final Release of DCS: F-86F Sabre

 

Belsimtek and The Fighter Collection are pleased to announce that DCS: F-86F Sabre has left beta and updated to release status today. Although the module is now feature complete, we will of course continue to tune the aircraft and fix any bugs that may arise.

 

Purchase from: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/sabre/

 

 

DCS: F-86F Sabre is a highly realistic simulation of the legendary American single-seat fighter jet F-86 Sabre, developed by North American Aviation. With more than 9,800 airframes of all versions built, the “Sabrejet” is the most-produced U.S. jet fighter in history. The aircraft took part in air-to-air combat, strike missions and surveillance. In addition to these roles, the F-86F Sabre was also used as a target drone and as a test bed for systems and weaponry. The aircraft became known to the public as the “MiG Killer” during the Korean War in the early 1950s. The F-86 was supplied to more than 30 countries and stayed in operational service until the early 1970’s. The different versions of the Sabre scored more than 900 aerial combat victories – more than any other jet fighter! The F-86F-35, the model simulated in DCS: F-86F Sabre, belongs to one of the latest series of the “F” modifications, and carries the sophisticated A-4 gunsight. Its armament includes six 12.7-mm M3 Browning machine guns, up to two 500-pound AN-M64 or 750-pound M117 bombs, up to 16 5” HVAR rockets and two GAR-8 air-to-air missiles.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=137735&stc=1&d=1459522610

 

Since July 2014, when the Open Beta version of DCS: F-86F Sabre was offered for download, Belsimtek has undertaken great efforts to further improve the module. Since then, DCS: F-86F has received numerous improvements and is now much closer to the real F-86F-35! Our thanks go out to the enthusiasts – fans of this aircraft, who were directly involved in parts of the development process –, Belsimtek was able to take the DCS: F-86F Sabre to a whole new level. In particular, a lot of research went into recreating the original cockpit and associated systems to be much more accurate. In addition, a highly detailed 360+ page flight manual and nine training missions (the English missions will all receive voice-overs in the near future) are included. The flight dynamics were further developed and tuned so that now even advanced and critical regimes such as stall and spin are fully realistic. Using the original full technical documentation of the real F-86F Sabre during the development process, it was possible for the engine model and the flight dynamics to reach a very high level of accordance with the real flight characteristics of the aircraft.

 

The installation package includes both a quickstart and a full flight manual, in-game training missions in English and Russian language, and single combat missions. The quickstart manual enables the player to quickly learn basic procedures like take-off, landing and weapon usage without the need to delve deep into the full flight manual from the beginning.

 

Key Features of DCS: F-86F Sabre:

  • Unmatched flight physics that allow you to truly feel what it's like to fly this legend of the Korean War
  • Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit
  • Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse and other input devices
  • Accurate F-86F Sabre model, country markings, and weapons
  • Detailed modelling of the F-86F Sabre instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, oxygen and electrical systems
  • Battle DCS: MiG-15bis in single and multiplayer games

 

 

Weekend Bundle Deals

 

This weekend we have a couple of bundle deals that include the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map with both the F-86F and its nemesis the MiG-15bis.

DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst

We are now preparing to release the final version of DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst. Over the last several weeks, we have been reviewing all user feedback and addressing a numbers of bugs and areas that require refinement. The creation of interactive training missions is also underway which includes all the normal procedures for engine start, taxiing, takeoff, landing and combat employment.

 

We have also opened a Bf 109 K-4 skin contest that you can read about here: Bf 109 K-4 skins contest

 

Bf109-contest-mix.jpg

 

During the course of the competition, a number of interesting skins (including the skin variants of the aircraft captured by the Allies), have been created by you, the users. Well done!

 

DCS: Spitfire LF Mk.IX

Adjustment to the flight model of the Spitfire LF Mk.IX aircraft continue. As of late, most of our testing and refinements have focused on airframe, engine and propeller parameters in references to actual tests of the World War II aircraft at our disposal at The Fighter Collection.

 

Spit-2.jpg

 

The flight tests carried out in the DCS World have shown that the Spitfire LF Mk.IX is a very easy and predictable aircraft to fly. An accurately implemented pneumatic system of the aircraft used for the brake and flap systems is particularly interesting. Earlier DCS World War II aircraft have not used such a system. Pilots of the DCS: Spitfire LF Mk.IX will be able to feel all the peculiarities of the pneumatics while taxiing and landing the aircraft.

 

DCS: Normandy 1944 Map

 

Normandy2.jpg

 

Development of the specially created "DCS: Normandy 1944" map for DCS World War II continues its development at a fast pace. Currently, the main effort is focused on airfields with different types of surfaces (a first for DCS World). For example: we are implementing SMT (Square Mesh Tracks) surfaces, which were widely used by the Allies for temporary airfields in Normandy following the landings. We are also developing the possibility to place airfields on the map using the Mission Editor (another first for DCS World).

 

Belsimtek News

After the successful, final release of the DSC: F-86 Sabre and DSC: MiG-15bis modules, the Belsimtek team is now focused on bringing DSC: F-5E Tiger II to Early Access within the next month. In the meantime, Belsimtek continues to edit the F-86F Sabre English manual and prepare DCS: Mi-8MTV2 for its final release.

 

DCS: F-5E Tiger II Progress Update

 

F-5E-1.jpg

 

  • The external model is complete and includes several well-known color schemes.
  • The 3D cockpit is complete.
  • All aircraft systems are accurately simulated in high detail.
  • A new engine compressor model has been implemented based on accurate blade load calculations. The new model provides a very accurate simulation of compressor guiding unit functionality and an expanded range of engine operation modes (high and low compressor stalls and compressor operating in windmill mode).
  • The radar, optical sight, jettison system, gun use, launching of air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground rocket use, and flare and chaff countermeasures are integrated into the model and the aircraft's Weapon Control System (WCS). All the above-mentioned items are now operating as described in F-5E operations manuals.
  • The Professional Flight Model (PFM): operational range of altitude and airspeed, acceleration with various payloads and G loads (in sustained turns and at maximum angles-of-attack) are tuned based on available data of the flight dynamics of the real aircraft; the model behavior at critical angles-of-attack (stalling) and post-stall behavior (post-stall gyrations and spins) now match descriptions of the real aircraft.
  • Flight manual in Russian has been written.

 

F-5E-2.jpg

 

In order to present this module in for Early Access, several items will be in development during the Early Access period:

 

  • Adjustments to the operation of certain aircraft systems (for example: adjustment to pump capacity, hydraulic fluid mass-flow rates, electric grid loads, etc.)
  • Translation the flight manual to English. We take into account our mistakes during the development of previous modules.
  • Creation of the Quick Start manuals for both Russian and in English, based on the complete flight manuals.

 

F-5E-3.jpg

Release of P-51D: High Stakes Campaign

 

The “P-51D: High Stakes” campaign is a single-player, story-driven campaign for DCS: P-51D Mustang. The premise of the campaign is that a powerful businessman and gambler named “Maslov” has employed the pilot-for-hire pilot Vasily Sinitsa by promising him mountains of money. In return, Vasily needs to fly and master the venerable Mustang over a string of 15 missions that will test his skills. Maslov will put the Vasily at more risk as the campaign progresses and Vasily will need to use all his skills to not only to fulfill his assigned tasks but to also save his life and, in the long run, his honor.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=139178&stc=1&d=1461337895

 

In order to fully complete each mission and proceed to the next, Vasily will need to land his Mustang at the assigned point at the conclusion of each mission. Additionally, due to the plot of the story, Vasily will need to take care of his Mustang and minimize damage to proceed through the story.

 

All of Vasily’s missions include detailed briefings and mission map graphics. Each mission also includes kneeboard briefing and map pages.

 

 

Are you ready to join Vasily on this epic journey?

DCS World Weekend News - 20 May 2016

DCS: F-5E Tiger II is now available for pre-purchase!

 

Belsimtek with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics are happy to announce that DCS: F-5E Tiger II is available for pre-purchase from the DCS shop. The pre-purchase provides both a 20% discount off the retail price and access to the Early Access coming in July-August 2016.

 

DCS: F-5E Tiger II will sell for $59.99 in July 2016. Pre Purchase now for $47.99 and save 20%! In addition to the 20% purchase discount, pre-purchasers will receive a 20% full-price value in bonus points for future purchases!

 

 

The F-5E was developed by Northrop Corporation in early 1970s. The light tactical fighter is an upgraded version based on previous F-5A developments. The F-5s’ combat role encompasses air superiority, ground support, and ground attack. Given its mission flexibility, ease of operation, and low cost, the Tiger II has, and continues to serve, air forces across the globe.

 

The F-5E has trapeziform wings, two turbojet engines equipped with afterburners, and tricycle landing gear. Pitch, roll, and yaw control systems are hydraulically actuated in order to relieve control stick and rudder pedals forces. Artificial feel system is built in pitch and roll control systems to simulate aerodynamic loads for the pilot. For example: after the landing gear is retracted, left and right movement of the control stick is limited by a spring mechanism to prevent excessive roll rates.

 

A pressurized cockpit and air conditioning system ensures pilot safety at all altitudes up to the service ceiling. The pilot is also provided with an oxygen mask and anti-g suit. The cockpit is fitted with a Martin Baker SIII S-3 ejection seat, two VHF radios, automatic direction finder, radio navigation system, and a standard set of navigation lights. Landing-taxi lights are located on the underside of each engine inlet duct are extended together with the landing gear. The cockpit canopy provides a superb in-flight view appropriate for air-to-air operations.

 

The F-5E is armed with two 20-mm M39-A3 cannons with 280 rounds per each cannon. The cannons are located in the nose section, forward of the cockpit. Special deflectors are used to avoid compressor stall conditions caused by hot gas ingestion as a bi-product of operating the M-39-A3. Each cannon is capable of firing at a rate of 1500 to 1700 rounds per minute.

 

Each wingtip incorporates a launcher rail capable of firing AIM-9 infrared-guided missiles.

 

Five hard points (one centerline pylon and four underwing pylons) allow the aircraft to carry different types of air-to-ground weapons (bombs, cluster munitions, and rockets) 6,400 pounds (about 3000 kg) in total. In addition, illumination ammunition and cargo containers can be attached. To increase flight duration and range, external fuel tanks can be attached to three hard points (a centerline pylon and two inboard pylons). Maneuverability and speed can be maximized in combat by jettisoning all external stores.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=140930&stc=1&d=1463755300

 

Key Features of the DCS: F-5E Tiger II:

 

  • Professional Flight Model that accurately mimics the performance and flight characteristics of this legendary fighter
  • Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit
  • Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse
  • Fully modelled weapon system
  • Accurate F-5E model with multiple country markings
  • Detailed modelling of the F-5E instruments, engine, radios, fuel, electrical, and hydraulic systems
  • Single missions and full set of training missions will be created while in Early Access
  • Full and Quick Start manuals in Russian and English languages
  • Extended Campaign for the F-5E by Maple Flags Missions Developer (not included in the module package)

For this weekend, we have two Hog deals. They will start on 03 June 2016 at 1500 GMT and last until 06 June 2016 at 0900 GMT.

DCS: F-5E Tiger II Preview Video

DCS World Weekend Update - 24 June 2016

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=142914&stc=1&d=1466781385

 

Nevada Map Bundle Deal Weekend!

 

As our first DLC map for DCS World, the Nevada Test and Training Range map has been a big success in both its popularity and its showcasing of new map technologies.

 

The Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) has the largest contiguous air and ground space available for peacetime military operations in the free world. The NTTR land area includes simulated air defense systems, mock airbases, and several target ranges. The NTTR was also used for nuclear testing. Today, it is home to RED FLAG and other military exercises that include countries from around the world. The NTTR map for DCS World 2 includes Nellis AFB, Creech AFB and the infamous Groom Lake AFB (aka Area 51). This map also includes the city of Las Vegas, McCarran International Airport, and Hoover Dam.

 

Once version 1.5.4 is released, we will be updating the Nevada map to take advantage of new Virtual Reality features and other improvements/fixes.

 

40% off bundles deals from Friday, 24 June 2016 at 1500 GMT to Monday, 27 June 2016 at 0900 GMT.

DCS World Update News

 

This Friday we hope to release 1.5.4 into the open beta. If after a week we see no blocking bugs in the 1.5.4 open beta, we will move it to the public build the following Friday. Once 1.5.4 is released to the public build, we plan to release the F-86F / MiG-15bis 3rd party campaign.

 

Following the update of DCS World 1.5, we will shift our focus back to DCS 2.0 for the next update.
