Updated (more like fixed lol) normalmaps with roughmets/speculars. For those that arent into 3d stuff - normals are textures that make flat surfaces look 3d, and roughmets and speculars are those controlling how rough or shiny is the surface.

30 May 2025 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, We have released a hotfix for the latest update based on your feedback and our additional testing. Also, we have squeezed in a couple fixes for older issues. Please update your build to the latest version. The F4U-1D Corsair by Magnitude LLC is progressing well and is now in testing! Its launch will be based on results of careful testing and creating content for it. We kindly invite you to read the details below of this amazing aircraft and stay tuned for early access! Please watch this DCS / Pimax Interview to discover how Pimax and Eagle Dynamics works together to push the boundaries of flight simulation with cutting-edge VR immersion and stunning realism. If you or someone with a disability that is interested in getting involved with flight simulations, the DCS 4 Disabilities Discord group is your next stop! This group can help adapt your controllers, write scripts to improve accessibility, and test ergonomic layouts. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics DCS Hotfix Development Progress Quick fixes based on your feedback This hotfix aims to resolve several issues that came to light following the last DCS update. Also, we have included a couple fixes for issues found earlier but we could squeeze in this hotfix with everything else. We have written a quick fix for high CPU load that occurs on the main menu and was observed and reported by the community after the last update. We have also included Quick Action Generator changes such as a "Random" skill level to Al and a fix for missions not regenerated even when the "regenerate" button is pressed. We solved a couple more long-standing issues and added them to this update; problems with track replays not saving properly and an infantry disembarkment issue when a mission is running on a dedicated server. Finally, issues with the multiplayer scoreboard not updating properly has also been resolved. F4U-1D Corsair Development Progress Since 2017, Magnitude 3 LLC has dedicated immense effort to bring this iconic World War II fighter to DCS. It played a pivotal role in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO), and it became a symbol of aerial prowess thanks to its speed, climb rate, and toughness. It even had a smaller role in the European Theater of Operations. Developing this module has proven more challenging than the Magnitude team anticipated. The Corsair's unusual design was revolutionary for its time, and its flight dynamics are complex. The combination of a powerful engine and huge propeller; its distinctive gull wings; large flaps; and its robust landing gear that also acted as an airbrake created a challenge in airflow dynamics and handling characteristics. We Solved It “While perfection is an elusive goal, we do not claim our Flight Model (FM) to be flawless; we acknowledge that there is always room for further refinement and improvements. However, the current FM has been thoroughly validated and closely mirrors the real aircraft's behavior, surpassing the realism of any previous Corsair FM developed for flight simulators.” - Magnitude 3 LLC It Only Gets Better “Currently, we have a few remaining items on our development list for the module. For example, the implementation of the "Bat Bomb" (ASM-N-2 Bat), for which the initial implementation is complete. Further work will ensure its seamless integration into the DCS environment.” - Magnitude 3 LLC Key Features in Early Access: High-quality external 3D model Fully clickable cockpit with 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) and the latest visual effects Flight Dynamics based on official reports, CFD research, and pilot feedback Engine and propeller control systems Fuel system and optional external tanks Electrical system Hydraulic and pneumatic systems Radio-navigation systems Structure-based damage model Carrier-capable aircraft Manual in English (PDF format) Early Access Weapons: 6 x 0.50-inch (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns 8 x 5-inch (12.7 cm) High-Velocity Aircraft Rockets (HVAR) External fuel tanks and bombs up to 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) To enhance the Corsair experience, Magnitude 3 LLC will include an Essex-class aircraft carrier. This ship class was a pivotal PTO component of U.S. naval power, and it was one of the most numerous capital ship classes of the 20th century. Of the 24 Essex-class carriers built, none were lost to enemy action, although several sustained significant battle damage. These carriers were veritable fortresses at sea that could carry approximately 90 aircraft on their armored hull and decks. It was also equipped with numerous weapons. In our version of the Essex, you will get: 4 x 127mm single cannons 4 x 127mm twin cannons 17 x 40mm Bofors guns 20 x 20mm twin Oerlikon guns 50 x 20mm single Oerlikon guns Magnitude 3 will also introduce eight Imperial Japanese ground units that includes trucks, anti-aircraft artillery, and tanks. These will be a fantastic addition to the upcoming, free, Mariana Islands World War II map. The AI Corsair, Essex-class aircraft carrier, and Imperial Japanese ground units will be available for all DCS players to ensure singleplayer and multiplayer compatibility. “As we near this significant milestone, we wish to convey our deepest appreciation for your remarkable support and enduring patience throughout these dedicated years. This project, without question, represents the longest and most demanding endeavor we have pursued within the DCS environment.” – Magnitude 3 LLC DCS x PIMAX Interview Pimax and Eagle Dynamics senior producer Matt “Wags” Wagner discusses how virtual reality is reshaping flight simulation, what goes into bringing DCS aircraft to life in VR, and their thoughts on the history, current state, and future of VR in DCS. Watch the full interview. DCS 4 Disabilities Community Highlight Among the many squadrons that fill the DCS virtual skies, few are as remarkable as DCS 4 Disabilities. This volunteer-run group began with a single wish: To make the cockpit feel welcoming to aviators whose bodies ask a little more patience from them. Their Discord has become a place where veterans with chronic pain, pilots who can fly only short stints, and newcomers who need adapted controls, trade tips, swap mission files, and share laughs. Today, we want to share one of their brightest stories. Lars, callsign Yoda, is a Swiss law student with severely restricted upper-body movement. For months he relied on a friend to act as his co-pilot and wear a head-tracker while he managed radios, weapons, and checklists. But the dream of looking around his cockpit never faded. When VR proved impractical, the group’s search led to Tobii eye-tracking. With it, Yoda’s gaze now translates into fluid head motion, freeing him to scan for bandits and lean into the turn as any other virtual fighter pilot. DCS 4 Disabilities is gathering footage of Yoda’s setup for a forthcoming YouTube series to inspire and spread awareness about accessibility in DCS. What began as a handful of determined fliers is fast becoming a beacon for accessible simulation. Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely,

By the way cudos to Mag3 for giving everyone access to the AI units.

Hi everyone, It's been discussed (though has not yet been a topic of) several other threads but I thought this could really do with its own. Currently quite a number of runways, taxiways, aprons and a fair few roads have this prominent sand-like texture surrounding them like a border. For example, here's promotional material of Spangdahlem, taken from this post. There's a number of other errors clearly visible in these images also (for instance, all of the hardened aircraft shelters are the wrong type and the open parking spots are marked as helipads when they aren't, several other structures look like they were taken from Syria and aren't that accurate either). The layout however is broadly correct. By comparison, here's a satellite photo, taken summer 2018 (the lighter area is actually from March 2017): And here are a few close-up shots: It can clearly be seen that areas of mud/dirt/sand are few and far between and in the overwhelming majority of areas, the grass goes right up to taxiways, runways, aprons etc. This is further backed up by photos taken on the airbase (these from mid May 2023, sourced from here) These from the end of May 2020: This from May 2024 It should be very clear that the sand-coloured boundary surrounding the paved surfaces is incorrect - at the very least it should be made much more sparse, as IRL, nearly every image shows more-or-less uniform grass right up to them. With these you could also make the argument that the grass texture should be darker. You could make very similar analysis at the majority of airbases, not just Spangdahlem. Yes, you sometimes see brown/dry grass, but it'll be much more uniform and not patchy (it's not like the sun only illuminates certain areas of grass). Sometimes, there is mud/dirt/sand but unless significant construction work is going it's few and far between, not all over the place as it is currently. Personally, fixing this would fairly dramatically improve the realism of these airbases.

Incredible. DCS just gets better and better. Thanks for all your hard work!

No Corsair for me until this Dev updates the MiG-21 to a proper state!

Going through this old thread, it was a bug that ended up getting reported after a lot of back and forth. I changed my cockpit display res to 512 deleted the fxo and metashaders2 after changing the cockpit display from 256 to 512. Just changing the cockpit res is not good enough, you MUST delete the two folders after making the change for the problem to get resolved. Got the crosses just fine now. Maybe the bug that was reported earlier showed back up?

for me its a deal breaker, the F-5E was cheap at only us$ 10 but I still regret the purchase and have barely flown it. I have also passed on the Mig-29 and will refuse to spend money on aircraft that can’t have user skins nor can their cockpits be loaded on the ModelViewer

we've heard this crap that many times ill believe if we see it, dont care anymore

More news of today about this outstanding warbird HERE.

WOW!! Do you wake up with a smile on your face?

Hey Everyone, I am Working on a Nike Hercules Mod, Missile+Launcher is already working. Base is the Mod of Acidpro08. And Thanks to CH for allowing the use of his code as A base. Rightnow working On The Lowpar Radar .Greatings From Germany

-------UPDATE 250531 Removed F-15C Fuel tank as the connector never did match up with the pylon on the F-22A model. Removed 4xAIM-200A Rack as it's redundant with having the 2x racks as you can load those on the inner and mid stations. Replaced AIM-200A model with a new version with corrected attachment point -Spino Aligned AIM-200A for all bays. Adjusted AIM-200A textures. Adjusted AIM-200A exhaust position. Adjusted AIM-272A exhaust position. Created W25 tactical nuclear warhead (The W25 was a small nuclear warhead that was developed by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory for air-defense use. It was a fission device with a nominal yield of 1.7 kt) Replaced the warhead on the nuclear Mako and Meteor with this warhead. The previous was a 5kt warhead which wasn't realistic so this is now based on an actual warhead and is 34% of the previous yield. The blast radius is about 5nm. I would not suggest shooting it at anything your flying towards that's less than 10nm away. This makes employing them somewhat more "practical" with less chance of nuking yourself.

Heute bei der 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - ACM gegen die 480th TFS der USAF aus Spangdahlem. Beide flights hatten TWR und GCI support und haben das Training in der TRA 205 durchgeführt. Die 480th TFS konnte nur zwei Maschinen für das heutige Training stellen, wohingegen die 1./JG71 mit einer four-ship angetreten ist. Wir hatten daher die Hoffnung, dass wir unseren taktischen Nachteil ohne Fox 1 etwas besser kompensieren können, doch letztlich hatten wir auch Glück, dass die Amerikaner keine Fox 1s losbekommen haben und wir somit im Dogfight unsere zahlenmäßige Überlegenheit zum Tragen bringen konnten. Danke an unsere zuverlässigen ATCs Marco und Sven von den Digital Controllers und an Josh und Mobile von der 480th TFS! Die 1./JG71 tritt gerne mit weiteren Staffeln für gemeinsame Flüge in Kontakt, um mehr Traffic auf dem Server generieren und ggf. gemeinsame Trainings durchzuführen. Wer Interesse hat an realistischem, gemeinsamen Fliegen, nehme gerne Kontakt mit uns auf. Anbei wie immer ein paar Impressionen: Unsere four-ship in der Last Chance.

Hi, I think it would be useful (ex: time hack) to have a display with info (local time/zulu) on the Aircraft Shelters or Hangars, and ramps, like in real life. Something simple and neat. Example in the pic. Thank you.

I don't have any issues with anyone helping out. This is truly becoming a community project, and I encourage collaboration!

Ah ok, awesome. Yes at least an extra 1 or 2 liveries for the MiG-29A would be super great! Thanks for doing these! I've been creating a fair amount of missions with them. Here's the last one we flew:

Я откат сделал на патч от 5 мая. Не обновляюсь, ибо тормоза и вЫлеты

Every modern GPU could run VR only depend on what resolution. Consider this for example Q3 in VD on Godlike is looking in VR like 1080p 27" monitor. I'm talking now about pixel density and impression you got. With 9060XT you will probably running it on High preset in VR. That is lower resolution of rendering so pixels will be more noticeable like for example you are reducing resolution on 1080p monitor to increase in game performances. Also VR is compromise so level of details and resolution combine with Hz. Run at 72Hz with motion reprojection on you will need 36FPS. In VR we are not looking at average but minimum FPS. FPS shouldn't drop below 36 to keep it smooth. 9060XT in VR is doable, it is like 3080, 6800XT, 4070 or 7700XT. But don't expect too much, have in mind low budget equal low expectation.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've been modding aircraft and hacking video games since the early nineties. I noticed the same thing in the damage system, where the cockpit disappears, and also the smallest number of rounds impacting shreds the aircraft. I code for a living and I checked out @bhoop19 GitHub repository two weeks before this was released, and I've been playing with some of the C++. I'm trying changes with the damage events that have gotten different behavior when a tail is cut off, or an aileron or elevon is removed, but causing other issues I'm trying to address. I've separated the tails and rudders that currently are mapped in code to a single vertical tail, and applied independent damage and integrity. I've updated wing integrity to apply on percentages for the different sections instead of one part destroying the whole wing in code, and all it's aerodynamic forces. I think I can get the FCS page working again with good indicators on control surface position. And just for fun, I implemented a thrust vectoring roll assist that can independently point thrust for each engine to do some slightly faster rolls, but some real weird stall maneuvers lol (the real F-22 doesn't do this). I hope to contact @Nightstorm and @bhoop19 in a few weeks if I can get some things working well enough to contribute, if they'll allow it.

DCS is now multi core. From what I’ve seen, it seems to primarily be using 4 cores. The 13 and 14 series both suffer from potential degradation issues. I’ve not looked into the details as I didn’t buy one. The AMD 7800x3d and then 9800x3d have pretty much consistently been shown in benchmarks to be a little faster than the Intels, a little cheaper and use less power. The only concern I’ve seen is with the use of memory. Seems that AMD have still to fully resolve their memory management, meaning that it you want reliability, only buy a single pair of RAM. Right now, the largest fast DDR5 module that can be bought is 48GB. 64GB will currently happily run DCS. If however I was building a new rig, I’d be inclined to go for 96GB for at least a little future proofing.

Hopefully the DCS Model Viewer will be able to open its 3D shape, so that users can create liveries and training missions for it ... unlike the F-5E Remastered.

I have asked this in there Discord: Currently no function

thanks devs and team

Great news in today's newsletter! I'm so craving for a pacific summer, palm trees and dark blue Corsairs

Unfortunately, SEAD missions are currently not possible; the AGM45 Shrike in this Mod is buggy. Attached is a trk file for approaches to the SA-6 and SA-8 with the AGM-45B. The correct seekers (MK-22 for the SA-6 and MK49.0 for the SA-8) are installed, but locking is not possible. Edit: That's been resolved. The A-4E-C manual is incorrect. It specifies the wrong seekers to use for the various radars. If you're looking for the correct ones, check out the HB F-4 manual: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/stores/air_to_ground/missiles/shrike.html The A-4E team is aware of this and will update there manual.

Really exciting news. thanks to everyone involved in the development of this sim.

Corsair, finally!

Glad to see the mod being put to good use! Even though it's not exactly Vietnam, lol We've now fixed the pylon numbering of the MiG-21MF and reverted the Bird Dog propeller, removing the issue. Depending on available time, 1.1.2 will be out next week. We have quite a few aircraft under development and also plans to improve and expand the ship line further. It's too early to tell what lands in 1.2.0, but I hope for a red fighter, a blue recce bird, and an update to an existing helo Cheers, TeTeT

Progress is going well, I hope we can share news soon about Marianas WWII

Superb news about the Corsair. Maybe 2025 will be the year we see it.

Another Tanker request. Other than adding more tankers to the museum it would be really helpful if we got call outs especially for the KC-135 boom. Especially at night with the night PDL light bug that seems not be a priority. Real boom operators give the pilots call outs. "Up 2, Up 1, Back 1, Forward 2." etc etc. And for night time operations with the elevation PDL light being almost impossible to see along with the tanker(lack of flood lights like the real KC-135) the tanker is almost impossible to see depending on graphic settings. There is obviously some sort of tracking script/AI that allows the boom to move and track an aircraft, can't imagine it would be to difficult to add a callout function in relation to the current method.

30 мая 2025 года Дорогие друзья, Мы выпустили небольшой хот-фикс для крайнего обновления на основе полученных отзывов и результатов тестирования. Читайте подробности и обновите игру для установки исправлений. Модуль F4U-1D Corsair от Magnitude LLC перешел в фазу тестирования! Он перейдет в ранний доступ после создания игрового контента и интенсивных проверок. Читайте подробности создания этого интересного самолёта и ожидайте выхода в Ранний доступ! Смотрите онлайн интервью с разработчиками DCS / Pimax, и узнайте подробности совместной работы Pimax и Eagle Dynamics по расширению границ авиасимуляции на основе последних достижений технологий виртуальной реальности. Если у вас есть знакомые, ограниченные в своих возможностях ввиду физических недугов, то группа Discord “DCS 4 Disabilities” как раз то, что поможет им наполнить жизнь интересным и захватывающим. Эта группа поможет адаптировать игровые контроллеры, написать скрипты для улучшения доступности, создать и настроить индивидуальные рабочие (игровые) места для них. Благодарим за поддержку. Искренне, Команда Eagle Dynamics DCS Hotfix Короткое обновление Основываясь на вашей реакции Выпущенный на днях хот-фикс исправляет проблемы, с которыми столкнулись пользователи после крайнего обновления. Он также закрывает ряд других вопросов, замеченных ранее, но не вошедших в основное обновление. В частности, уменьшена нагрузка на процессор, которая возникла после обновления при нахождении в главном игровом меню. В Генераторе быстрых миссий случайный уровень мастерства ботов заменен на интеллектуальный, а кнопка “ПЕРЕСОБРАТЬ” миссию теперь работает. Исправлены и другие проблемы. Например, ошибка сохранения треков в некоторых случаях и проблемы высадки пехотных юнитов из транспортных средств на выделенных серверах, а также проблема обновления статистики в мультиплеере. F4U-1D Corsair Отчёт о разработке С 2017 года компания Magnitude 3 LLC прикладывает огромные усилия, чтобы этот культовый истребитель Второй мировой войны попал в DCS. Он сыграл ключевую роль на Тихоокеанском театре военных действий и стал символом морских операций США благодаря своей скорости, скороподъемности и прочности. Надо признать, что на Европейском театре военных действий его роль оказалась не так заметна ввиду специфики применения. Разработка этого модуля оказалась неизмеримо более сложной задачей, чем предполагала команда Magnitude на старте проекта. Необычный дизайн Corsair был революционным для своего времени, а динамика его полёта - сложной. Сочетание мощного двигателя, огромного воздушного винта, характерных крыльев чайки, больших закрылков и прочного шасси, которое также выполняло функцию воздушного тормоза, создало немало сложных задач с моделированием аэродинамических характеристик и управляемости. Мы сделали это! «Мы не утверждаем, что наша летная модель безупречна; мы признаем, что всегда есть место для дальнейших доработок и улучшений. Тем не менее, текущая модель была тщательно проверена и в точности повторяет поведение реального самолета, превосходя по реалистичности все предыдущие модели Corsair, разработанные для авиасимуляторов». - Magnitude 3 LLC Мы становимся лучше “В настоящее время в плане разработки модуля осталось всего несколько пунктов. Например, моделирование бомбы «Bat Bomb» (ASM-N-2 Bat), и мы уже завершили первичную фазу работ по ней. Остаток времени будет посвящён бесшовной интеграции модуля в среду DCS.” - Magnitude 3 LLC Ключевые особенности раннего доступа: Трехмерная модель высокой детализации Полностью интерактивная кабина в 6 степенями свободы и визуальными эффектами Лётная динамика, проверенная по имеющимся данным испытаний, на основе продувок в виртуальной среде (CFD research) и с учетом отзывов реальных пилотов. Системы управления винтомоторной группой Топливная система и подвесные баки Электрическая система Гидравлическая и пневматическая системы Радионавигация Структурированная модель повреждений Способность выполнять взлёты и посадки на авианосец Руководство на английском языке (PDF) Вооружение раннего доступа: 6 x 0.50-inch (12,7 мм) пулемётов M2 Browning 8 x 5-inch (12,7 см) реактивных снарядов HVAR ПТБ и бомбы общим весом до 4000 фунтов (1800 кг) Одновременно с модулем F4U-1D Corsair, компания Magnitude 3 LLC разрабатывает рабочую модель авианосца класса Essex. Этот класс кораблей был ключевым компонентом военно-морской мощи США и одним из самых многочисленных за весь период 20-го века. Из 24-х построенных авианосцев класса Essex, ни один не был потерян в результате повреждений от действий противника, хотя некоторые из них получили очень значительные боевые повреждения. Эти авианосцы были настоящими крепостями на море, которые могли вместить до 90 самолётов. Кроме того, они были оснащены широким спектром вооружения. В нашей версии «Эссекса» вы получите: 4 х 127-мм одиночных пушки 4 х 127-мм спаренные пушки 17 х 40-мм пушек Bofors 20 х 20-мм спаренных пушек Oerlikon 50 х 20-мм одноствольных пушек Oerlikon Дополнительно, Magnitude 3 LLC разрабатывает восемь сухопутных юнитов Императорской Японии, включая грузовики, зенитную артиллерию и танки. Они станут отличным дополнением к предстоящей бесплатной карте Марианских островов в версии Второй Мировой Войны. Самолёты ИИ "Corsair", авианосец класса "Essex" и юниты сухопутных сил Японии будут доступны всем игрокам DCS для обеспечения совместимости как в одиночной, так и в многопользовательской игре. “Приближаясь к моменту выхода в свет, мы хотим выразить нашу глубочайшую признательность за вашу непрерывную поддержку и неизменное терпение на протяжении всех лет разработки. Этот проект, без сомнения, представляет собой самое продолжительное и сложное начинание из всех, что мы предпринимали в среде DCS.” – Magnitude 3 LLC DCS x PIMAX Интервью Наш старший продюсер Matt "Wags" Wagner и сотрудник компании Pimax рассказывают о том, как виртуальная реальность меняет облик авиасимуляторов, что именно помогает оживить самолёты DCS в виртуальной реальности и что они думают о прошлом, настоящем и будущем виртуальной реальности в DCS. Смотрите полное интервью. DCS 4 Disabilities Сообщество с Большой буквы Среди множества виртуальных сквадов в DCS World только немногие могут сравниться с DCS 4 Disabilities. Эта группа энтузиастов сформировалась для достижения одной главной цели: сделать кабину симулятора удобной и комфортной для тех, чьи физические способности оказались ограниченными. Их Discord канал стал местом, где ветераны с физическими ограничениями, пилоты, которые могут летать только короткие промежутки времени, и новички, которым нужно адаптированное управление, обмениваются советами, файлами миссий и радуются каждому достигнутому успеху. Сегодня мы хотим поделиться одной из их самых ярких историй. Ларс, aka Yoda, студент юридического факультета из Швейцарии, имеет недуг с серьезными ограничениями движений туловища и головы. Благодаря стараниям своего преданного друга, он в течение нескольких месяцев тренировался, выполняя функции второго пилота с использованием хэд-трекера по настройке радиостанций, управлению вооружением и проверке чек-листов. Однако Ларс страстно хотел получить возможность видеть гораздо шире и осматривать окружение вокруг себя, а не только приборы. Устройства VR оказались малопрактичными в его случае и их дальнейшее внимание переключилось на устройства Tobii c отслеживанием движения глаз. Благодаря им Ларс получил возможность управлять положением головы в симуляторе используя только смещение взгляда! Теперь он может осматривать пространство в поисках противника или закладывать плотный разворот наблюдая картину точно также, как любые другие виртуальные пилоты! Группа “DCS 4 Disabilities” готовит подборку видео и фотоматериалов по текущему оснащению игрового рабочего места Ларса для дальнейшего размещения на YouTube с целью показать, как можно сделать DCS доступным для всех и расширить аудиторию. И то, что было доступным только самым решительным пользователям симуляторов, может стать доступным любому. Удачных вылетов, друзья! Искренне с Вами,

fix applied in todays patch, thank you for all of your reports here and in private messages.

I have asked the team to take another look at this based on your feedback here. It is not going to happen quickly we have other tasks ahead of it however. thanks

Also the 3d chips have a larger cache than others which makes them well suited to gaming.

With Cold War Germany map, this helicopter will be blast. I like concept, that will allow to cooperate pilots next to each other This configuration can be useful for crew interaction and instrument sharing. Unique opportunity for combat helicopter, that will allow to enjoy multicrew flight. Also very beauty design (IMO) Performance Maximum speed: 260 km/h. Cruising speed: 235 km/h. 15 Practical range: 745 km (on 1,720 L main tanks). Driving range: 1,180 km (with a 730-liter PTB). Flight duration: 4 hours and 12 minutes. Practical ceiling: 4520 m. Rate of climb: 8.5 m/s. Armament: In the combat version for the Polish Air Force, the armament of the PZL W-3 Sokół helicopter includes a GSH-23 double-barreled cannon, 4 AT-6 ATGM and two units of 12 NAR with a caliber of 80 mm. Operators: Czech Republic, Myanmar, Germany, Nigeria, Portugal, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, the Russian Federation and the Philippines. Modifications: W-3W / W-3WA Sokół — attack helicopter with a 23 mm double-barreled cannon and 4 suspension points W-3PL Głuszec is a land—based multi-purpose helicopter. It was first presented at the International Defense Fair in Kielce in 2007. It is equipped with mobile large-caliber machine guns WKM-B or WLKM [2] chambered for 12.7×99 mm with helmet guidance. The helicopter has received an integrated digital BIOS, which allows you to control all the parameters of the machine on several displays, instead of dozens of analog devices. An electron-optical search and sighting system from the Israeli company Rafael has been installed (it consists of a powerful television camera, a thermal imager and a laser rangefinder). Protection against MANPADS with infrared GPS is provided by the Ukrainian SOEP "Adros". The pilots' workstations and the landing cabin received composite armor, increasing their safety during ground fire and during a hard landing. A new rotor of the main rotor is installed So, there posible to have old or (and) modern versions. nullmaneurobility:

I just have to thank the creators, the bombs are perfect. Everything works with excellence and precision. This is the best plane in all of DCS, thank you

It looks definitively better but i guess i need the roughMet to make it less shiny. Because now in the light it lights up like a christmas tree
