Some good stuff in it!!!

 

Moving to Core-Based System

Later in 2012, The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics will transition the DCS series to a core-based system. What do we mean by a core-based system? This means that the main DCS engine that includes the GUI interface will serve as the core that content modules plug into it. Such content could include vehicles, maps, campaigns, etc. This will allow purchased DCS content to be accessed through a single DCS core hub.

Not only will this allow previous and future DCS aircraft to be fully integrated, but it will also allow 3rd party content to be easily integrated into the DCS series.

DCS: P-51D Mustang Status

The Mustang is coming along nicely and is currently flying around the DCS world. Most of the focus is now on tuning the flight dynamics with input from a real Mustang operator. Other work continues on the P-51D audio, a very detailed engine model, missions, and the damage model. We will also include several authentic skins with the release product.

Open Beta Testing for Patches Coming

To better promote community involvement and have a much larger testing base, future DCS product patches will be available in beta version prior to final release. We hope this move will allow all customer voices to be heard prior to releasing a new patch and flush out any missed problems during internal testing. The next two patches will be for A-10C and Black Shark 2.

"DCS: P-51D Mustang" Pre-Purchase

As we did with "DCS: A-10C Warthog", we will be offering P-51D as a pre-purchase. As a pre-purchase, customers will have access to beta versions of the product.

 

 

Paid For User Content Now Available from DCS Web Site

Now in the User Files section on the DCS page, you have the option to filter between All, Free, and Paid For files. The Paid For content allows a distribution channel for third party developers to sell their work.

Combined Arms and Flaming Cliffs 3 Update

Work also moved forward on these two products and we have some very interesting and fun new features in work for both products. More on those later.

 

 

The next DCS Jet

This DCS jet aircraft is still in its early stages and a lot can still change, even the aircraft itself. As such, we will not be announcing what aircraft this is until it is much further along.

Disappointed the fast jet isn't a bit further along, but the relief that DCS is moving to a single EXE outweighs that. Thanks for the update :thumbup:

"a lot can still change, even the aircraft itself"

so there's still hope for the Jag yet then....:lol:

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Sounds more like: either F18C or F18E :thumbup:

 

(Or mabe they have just modeled a A2G-Radar?)

 

 

I am disappointed that we don't even know what the next jet we will get. This might be a good time to park my virtual aircraft, unplug my X-52 pro and TiR5 and go out to fly my RC airplanes.

 

Huh? F4lc*n BM$ ftw! :pilotfly:

The core based system could hopefully free up some HDD space couldn't it? I'm not sure if I understand correctly.
Definitely. Most of the resource files (textures, terrain, etc.) used by DCS-BS and DCS-WH are exactly the same. Since the same resource files would be used (in a modular system) this could speed up loading times after switching from one flyable to another since the OS could use its RAM cache, instead of loading directly from HDD/SSD.

That's because you have the benefit of being logged into your hotmail account ;).

 

Alternatively having the images from the mail cached in the browser. ;)

 

Generally, I always Ctrl-F5 when pasting images to threads to make sure they show properly even when not cached from wherever I found/received them. :)

Ouch. I think, to save myself from further disappointment, I will just stop hoping for this any time soon.

even the aircraft itself

 

I have no knowledge about what level of choice is being discussed here, but as an example if you were tossing up between modelling a P-51D, or a P-51B, you could get a reasonable way along the path before you decided which particular plane to model & the statement above would became untrue.

Cheers.
