26 July 2013: DCS News Update

A-10A and Su-25 for DCS Flaming Cliffs Now Available

Today, A-10A and Su-25 for DCS Flaming Cliffs went on sale for $14.99 on our online store: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/shop.php?end_pos=1322&scr=shop&lang=en

These modules feature:

1- Detailed 3D model (high polygon / high res textures)

2- 6 DOF cockpit

3- Advanced Flight Model (AFM)

4- Same level of cockpit system detail as the Lock On: Flaming Cliffs aircraft

We are releasing these modules for the following reasons:

1- It allows users access to these aircraft that do not own, or want to own, Lock On.

2- It allows users to buy just the aircraft they are interested in, without having to purchase the full Flaming Cliffs 3 product.

3- It allows us to make these aircraft available to a much larger audience on Steam, Origin, GameFly and other digital retailers.

If you already own FC3, you do NOT need to purchase these. The A-10A and Su-25 of FC3 are identical to the DCS Flaming Cliffs versions.

DCS Patch 1.2.5.15865 Now Available

A hot fix for DCS 1.2.5 can now be downloaded through the auto updater.

• WinXP is supported once again.

• The A-10A Advanced Flight Model (AFM) is no longer AWOL.

• The broken UH-1 input file has been repaired.

• The crash resulting from the broken aircraft activation / deactivation triggers has been addressed.

• Fixed the periodic green explosions.

There are other 1.2.5 issues that will be addressed in a second patch next week.

Updated B-8V20 Rocket Pods

I've attached some early renders of the new B-8V20 rocket pods. These will look great hanging off the new Mi-8MTv2.
