Why the F-35A? The F-35 is rapidly becoming the backbone of tactical combat aviation of many countries. Its combination of low observability, sensor fusion, and advanced sensors has brought 5th generation combat aviation to today’s battlefield. We chose to simulate this aircraft based on its fame and the large number of both combat aviation enthusiasts and more casual virtual pilots that are eager to experience its capabilities on the modern, virtual battlefield that only DCS can offer. What version of the F-35? We will first release the F-35A. We may later also offer the F-35B Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) and F-35C aircraft carrier catapult versions, but this has yet to be determined. How will you simulate it given the lack of reference documents? Starting around 2010, hands-on F-35 demonstrations became commonplace at defense tradeshows. These featured detailed system demonstrations that covered a broad range of operations and capabilities that provided great insight into the operation of the aircraft across different mission types. Our goal is to create an F-35A simulation that combines this wealth of data with academic papers, public sub-systems data, and common Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI) to fill in only a few areas lacking any information (like other existing DCS aircraft). Compared to other modern aircraft, we’ve discovered a great deal more information about its operation than most 4 and 4+ generation aircraft. Our F-35A will not be based on guesswork, watching air shows, Wikipedia or anything like that. Rather it is being designed in relation to credible data that we feel very confident will provide a good representation of what it is to operate this aircraft in the context of a study-level flight simulation game for the entertainment market. When will it be available? Development will start in earnest in 2025, with a release goal in 2026. This is subject to change. When we have a more specific date, we will update this FAQ. How much will it cost? The specific cost has yet to be determined for the F-35A, but it will be in-line with pricing of other full-fidelity, complex, modern aircraft in DCS. What weapons will be included?The complete weapons suite of a US F-35A in the 2015-time frame is planned. This includes the internal 25mm cannon, AIM-9X, AIM-120, GBU-31, GBU-32, and GBU-12. This list is subject to change during development. What countries will be included? The F-35A as operated by the US Air Force simulated but will have liveries for several countries including Australia, Norway, The Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Japan, South Korea, and Israel. More may be added later. How will you model its low observable characteristics? This will be based on open-source data and account for radar angle, range, and external stores, and open bays. How will you simulate the flight model given the lack of flight performance data? This would be derived from a combination of open-source performance charts, public F-35A pilot accounts of unique handling characteristics to test against, and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) studies. Would this not unbalance DCS? Larger numbers of hostile aircraft can outweigh the F-35A's advantages in single-player missions (player versus environment). It will also lend itself well to cooperative multiplayer missions that are created to challenge F-35A pilots. Whilst in multiplayer player-versus-player, the F-35A will initially be the 800-pound gorilla in the room, its advantages can be offset with limited slots, creative mission building, and the later introduction of more comparable aircraft like the Eurofighter and others.

Been wanting to cover this for a while to clear some things up. I am 47Driver on YouTube, some of you have been watching my videos on the DCS CH-47F, (I really appreciate that), and everybody wants to know about all these weird acronyms that I mention, along with many others. First of all I want to point out something in regards to the flight model. I see a ton of complaints about how unrealistic it is, etc. Yes, the FM is very WIP and that is what it is. Tandem Rotor physics are straight up wizardry. This is far and away the most complex flight model that ED has ever tried to replicate, and I can say that confidently as an actual Pilot of this aircraft and someone who understands a fair bit about aerodynamics. Tandem rotor helicopters are very weird, and what I'm seeing in the flight model so far indicates that the devs have done their research on how these helicopters behave when none of the things that are built in to help you fly are working, which is true in the module's current state. Please keep that in mind as you fly this thing. AFCS: Automated/Advanced Flight Control System. This alone is what makes the Chinook so easy to fly. Put your feet flat on the floor, don't touch the pedals, and fly all day long. Thanks Turn Coordination. She's very smooth, steady, coordinated, and controllable when this system is on. When the AFCS in DCS is fully fleshed out, it's gonna make a huge difference. DAFCS: Digital Advanced Flight Control System. Super cool autopilot(ish) functionality. Basically allows us to capture current Inertial Altitude or Radar Altitude, maintain low speed over the ground via TRC or Translational Rate Command, or capture current position over the ground via P-Hold. P-Hold + Altitude mode = perfect hands off hovering. We also have a full 4 axis autopilot via Flight Director for cruise/instrument flight. DASH: Differential Air Speed Hold. As you increase speed, the DASH, (a long tube in the flight controls with an actuator on each end) will decrease in length. You'll notice eventually when this is modeled that as you increase speed, you'll actually start moving cyclic backwards towards center and the aircraft will keep the speed. Pretty nice and allows us to fly with a more neutral cyclic position. LCT: Longitudinal Cyclic Trim (Actuators). As speed increases, the LCTs will extend, this will increase forward tilt in both the fwd and aft heads. Allows a more level fuselage at cruise and reduces stress on rotor system. You'll be flying at 140kts and the fuselage will be completely level with the horizon. No more staring at the ground 10deg nose low anymore. When you land, the LCTs drive to the GND position, allowing easier ground taxi. When you hover, they drive to the RET position to facilitate a level hover attitude. DCP: Differential Collective Pitch. This is mostly why the Thrust Lever is called the Thrust Lever and not a collective. DCP comes from longitudinal cyclic input. Forward cyclic increases collective pitch on the aft rotor system while decreasing collective pitch on the fwd, and vice versa. So basically, the cyclic is also a collective... Hope this clears some things up and helps you folks understand why the flight model feels so weird right now. With most of these things not being implemented yet, because I'd imagine they're all very hard to simulate, the Chinook is gonna fly a little weird. I'm still having a great time with the module and I'm very excited for more systems depth to be added, so I can continue to share with you guys. Thanks! 47Driver

You cannot expect us to buy that "open source" documentation and looking over a dude's shoulder at a trade show constitutes enough to make a FF module of one of the newest frontline jets. This is absurd. Credibility shattering even. We moaned about the paper plane J8, but this...... 10 years of flying DCS and this is what it's becoming. Okay then.

Hallo! Wie geht's? We are pleased to present our new project — the Cold War map, which will take you to Central Europe during the confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Expect historical accuracy, unique locations, and the atmosphere of the era! Central Europe was the epicenter of the Cold War. We recreated the key locations of this period and tried to convey the atmosphere of that time, and we have big plans for this territory. Take a look at the first screenshots of the Cold War map. On this map, you will find historically accurate locations, including Berlin — a symbol of the Cold War, divided by a wall, dense forests of the Fulda Gap, key airfields and military bases. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the era when the world was balancing on the brink of a global conflict. Stay tuned — there is still a lot of interesting things ahead! We are just getting started. Tomorrow we will tell you about some airfields and opportunities for you. Let's start, of course, with Berlin — a symbol of the Cold War The Berlin Wall (Checkpoint Charlie). The wall that divided families, the nation and the world Barbed wire "decorated" the border area of Berlin Berlin at night. Look at the color of the street lighting in the western and eastern parts weiter... Fulda (here begins the Fulda Gap - the probable place of movement of the ground forces of the opposing sides) There are many military facilities located on the map. Military training areas Port of Hamburg Automobilwerk und natürlich Ramstein Air Base - the main NATO air base. You will be a frequent guest here ... or will this be your target The Brocken Transmitter on the Brocken, the highest mountain in Northern Germany Nun, tschüss!

Why the F-15C? The F-15C has been a pillar of United States, and other nations, air superiority for decades. While the F-15C has featured in Lock On and then the Flaming Cliffs series, it’s now time for a full-fidelity simulation of this legendary fighter. A full-fidelity F-15C will join the F-14, F-16C, and F/A-18C to round out US 4th generation fighters in DCS. It will also serve as a great counterpart to the upcoming MiG-29A. What version of the F-15C? As with the Flaming Cliffs version, it will be an F-15C Multi-Stage Improvement Program (MISP) II as operated by the US Air Force in the early 2000s. This will feature either the AN/APG-63(V)1 or AN/APG-70 radars (TBD which one), Programable Armaments Control System (PACS), the JTIDS datalink with Situational (SIT) Display, and Joint Helmet Mounted Cuing System (JHMCS) with AIM-9X. It will be powered by two F100-PW-220 engines. Will it just be an updated Flaming Cliffs F-15C? Not at all. The entire external model and cockpit will be rebuilt to meet 2025 graphical standards. The avionics, sensor, and weapon systems will be at the highest level of fidelity with a fully interactive cockpit. While the flight model will be based on the Flaming Cliffs version, it will be further improved. Please note the Flaming Cliffs version will remain unchanged. When will it be available? Development will start in earnest in 2025, with a release goal in 2026. This is subject to change. When we have a more specific date, we will update this FAQ. How much will it cost? The specific cost has yet to be determined for the F-15C, but it will be in line with the pricing of other full-fidelity, complex, modern aircraft in DCS. What weapons will be included? The complete weapons suite of a US F-15C in the mid-2000s time frame is planned. This includes the internal M61A2 20mm cannon, AIM-9L/M/P3/X, AIM-7F/M/MH, and AIM-120B/C. As this is based on the US F-15C, it solely carries air-to-air weapons. What countries will be included? There will be a single F-15C version as operated by the US Air Force, but it will have liveries for several countries' liveries including Japan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

Hey! Thank you for your support and interest in the Currenthill Assets Pack. In this post I will keep an updated FAQ, where I try to answer the questions already asked or things I want to explain more in depth. FAQ Q1: Will Currenthill Asset Pack be part of core DCS? A1: Yes. The new assets will be added to the DCS core engine free for all of you to enjoy. Q2: Will all the assets from the Currenthill mod packs be added to DCS? A2: No. The library of new core assets are based off of the inventory of the Currenthill mod packs, but each asset are carefully chosen to be added to DCS. Each new core asset are implemented mostly from scratch to uphold a specific consistent standard of things like mesh and textures quality, animations, FLIR textures, LODs, destroyed models etc. Q3: Will the new core assets conflict with the Currenthill mod pack assets? A3: No. All new core assets have unique names and will therefore not conflict with the Currenthill mod pack assets. Q4: Will there be more batches of new core assets? A4: Yes. The first announcement letter describes the first batch of new core assets, but there will be more to come. Q5: Which assets will the next batch contain? A5: For maximum suspense, the content of the next batch won't be announced until it's announced. Q6: Are the new core assets the same assets as in the Currenthill mod packs? A6: No. The library of new core assets are based off of the inventory of the Currenthill mod packs, but each asset are carefully chosen to be added to DCS. Each new core asset are implemented mostly from scratch to uphold a specific consistent standard of things like mesh and textures quality, animations, FLIR textures, LODs, destroyed models etc. Q7: Will the new core assets take up a lot of storage space? A7: No. They will be better optimized than the Currenthill mod packs. The average size per asset is around 500 megabyte. Q8: Will the new core assets have FLIR textures? A8: Yes. All the new core assets will come with FLIR textures. Q9: Will the new core assets have LODs? A9: Yes. All the new core assets will come with multiple level-of-details (LODs). This means less detailed models will be displayed at longer viewing distances. There are LODs for both the models and the destroyed models. Q10: Will the new core assets have advanced weapons? A10: Yes. The collaboration with ED makes it possible to implement more advanced weaponry like the 9K723K1 short range ballistic missile and the dual seeker IRIS-T SLM missile. Q11: Will I continue to develop the Currenthill mod packs? A11: No. The new core assets will take up most of my DCS developing time. Q12: Will I continue to support the Currenthill mod packs? A12: Yes. I will implement a best-effort approach to keeping the Currenthill mod packs working with DCS updates. Q13: Will I remove the duplicate assets from the Currenthill mod packs? A13: Yes. I will most likely remove duplicate assets to avoid any kind of unnecessary confusion. Q14: Will the core assets support Combined Arms? A14: Yes. The new core assets will support Combined Arms cockpits where it's possible with the current limitations. For example, guns of all kinds are more likely to be player-controlled than advanced missile systems. Q15: When will the first batch of core assets release? A15: SoonTM. Q16: Will the new core assets come with different liveries? A16: Yes. The new core assets will come with summer, winter and desert liveries. There may be a few exceptions, for example aircraft assets. Q17: Will the new core assets have the CH prefix in the mission editor? A17: No. For consistency and ease-of-use the new core assets will be integrated with other DCS core assets. Q18: Will the new core assets have improved collision and damage models? A18: Yes. The new core assets will have improved collision and damage models with more damage zones on par with the latest ED core assets.

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.9.8.1107/ DCS World DCS application. Single Thread version of DCS removed, bin folder now contains MT DCS and is duplicated in mt-bin for backward compatibility with shortcuts and will be removed soon. Improved Spotting dots. Adjusted appearance of spotting dots in VR to be close to their previous state. We are looking at feedback. Currently we are working on the advanced functionality for spotting dots rendering which will depend on VR hardware type and its properties which we hope to deliver in future patches to address difference in dots sizes between different VR devices and monitors. Several performance improvements were activated after profiling of certain missions and concepts of usage.

Experimental fix for server crash after world.removeJunk being used (hosters please test, we are looking for feedback) DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics Improved HUD Limited Refresh Rate (made airspeed, altitude and acceleration update rates fixed at a set refresh rate. As such, faster rates of change will result in skipped values. The acceleration updates are slightly faster than velocity and acceleration). Improvement - Specific excess power. Based on user feedback, the difference in energy loss in the FM and E-M diagrams of instantaneous turn rates was noted. On the left edge (high angles of attack AoA >15 and low speeds below M<0.7), excessive energy loss (airspeed loss) was confirmed. On the right edge of the E-M diagram (M>0.7 and angles of attack AoA<15), there was noticeably insufficient energy loss. The left edge has been corrected, and energy loss has been reduced (closer to the reference points). Work on the right edge continues and will be resolved in a later update. Fixed: Impossible to enter a deep stall. Fixed: Excessive YAW With Roll Inputs in Landing Config. Fixed: FCR entering STT deletes all trackfiles.

The characteristic of the increase in the thrust of the main rotor has been refined in the speed range of 0-10 m/s (the helicopter's behavior at the moment of nose tilt to accelerate and when hovering after deceleration will become more realistic). Improvement. There was overly sensitive yaw control. The sensitivity of the control in the heading channel has been significantly reduced. Now the increase in angular velocity with a 1-inch pedal movement has been reduced by about 25%, which is beneficial for improving the comfort of control. Improvement. There was overly sensitive pitch control. The main rotor rotation characteristics in roll and pitch have been adjusted, which has slightly reduced the control sensitivity in the roll and pitch channels. The VRS (vortex-ring state) phenomenon of the Main rotor. Additional game notification about the VRS phenomenon. The player has been given the option to turn on sound and visual notifications about the onset of the phenomenon and its progress. Enabling/disabling is carried out in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings. The conditions for the occurrence of the VRS phenomenon on the Main rotor have been reworked. Now the Main rotor "entry" into the VRS phenomenon takes a little longer than before. In addition, the critical vertical descent speed that leads to the appearance of VRS is no longer a "strict" value, which increases the realism of “entering” in VRS mode. During an autorotation landing with the engines running, the helicopter could previously have been in the VRS phenomenon. Fixed Animation of the Main rotor cone tilt disappeared. There was no reaction of the rotor cone to the deflection of the helicopter cyclic stick - Fixed Helicopter SCAS. When hovering with Position Hold enabled, a slight drift would sometimes occur - Fixed Independent deactivation of roll and pitch channel in ATT-hold mode. For ATT-Hold mode, separate disabling has been added in the roll and pitch channels if the disabling conditions have occurred only in one of the channels (previously, both channels were disabled if the disabling conditions occurred only for roll, for example). Displayed on the controls indicator. The efficiency of the SCAS response has been increased when controlling the pilot and in the ATT-Hold (Position, Velocity, Attitude) mode family: When controlling the pilot the SCAS "blurs" the increase in angular velocity from the cyclic stick and pedals, thereby giving the pilot a little more time for piloting accuracy, which increases piloting comfort; In the ATT-Hold mode family the SCAS reacts more sensitively to changes, trying to compensate for the deviation from the specified mode/parameter in the "bud". Helicopter SCAS - known issues When turning ON or OFF the Position-Hold mode, several damped oscillations in roll and/or pitch may occur Added AI George interface enhancements for color-blind players. May be selected in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings. Modify the George-as-CPG interface. Fixed: Graphic glitch with cockpit displays when George finds targets during new Area search. Fixed: Enroute "Distance to Point" value calculated very wrong. Fixed: FIRE MSLS and LASE # TRGT message errors. Fixed: TADS camera clips through model. Fixed; George AI sees the target through the fog. DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics Petrovich AI. Added support for new fog system so Petrovich AI wouldn’t see through it. Rockets can be fired when the fire control switch is off - Fixed. ASP-17 Pilot sight brightness adjustment done.

Engine degraded with WEP usage DCS: FW-190A-8 by Eagle Dynamics Fixed. Cockpit glass DCS: Supercarrier by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: Dynamic Spawn - Spawn on other players. Fixed: Animation sticking after client exits. Fixed: "Waiting for ATC Status" Message displayed in campaigns. Fixed: IFLOS Lights showing backwards. Fixed: Client doesn't get taxiing permission ("Awaiting requested crew member"). Fixed: No directors - Cat crew only launch 1st aircraft. Fixed: AI carrier taxiing decreased dt, smooth break and pilot view correction. Fixed: Taxi crew stuck in multiplayer with Awaiting crew 1 idle message. Fixed: Wheel chock wont be placed when teleport to hangar (F/A-18C, F-14A/B). Fixed: Velocity limit option works if turned OFF. Fixed: Deck Crew Problems AI F-14s. Fixed: AI on sixpack can't taxi. Fixed: Yellow shirt director repeats 'stop' gesture. Fixed: The director teleports after assigning a player to the next one, apparently teleporting to his initial point. Fixed: Frequent change of commands by the director (Stop - Come forward) when taxi on the deck. Known issues: Forced option 'disable deck crew' don't work - in order to create a mission with the deck crew disabled, you need to disable it in the general options. DCS: F-5E3 Remastered Added animation of shaking elements in the cockpit. Added wingtip shake at high AOA. Added LERX vapor trails. Fixed: RWR Button Dimmer doesn't work as expected. Fixed: Cannot open and close the service hatch panels. Fixed: Incorrect theme loading picture if another theme is applied. Fixed: Static aircraft parking lot. DCS: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior by Polychop Simulations Fixed CTD when using VOIP PTT Fixed: Inputs for: Joystick inputs for Autostart / Autoshutdown Radio hats and animations Floodlight, position lights and blower switches WPN/ASE, LMC, ACK/REC switches Fixed: Multicrew flares Fixed: Multicrew target points DCS: SA-342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations Fixed: Minigun axis limits Fixed: Duplicate HOT and Mistral missile definitions removed DCS: MB-339A/PAN by IndiaFoxtEcho Visual Simulations Missing missing update of the previous DCS patch: Fixed: Stand-by ADI not caged when mission starts cold & dark Fixed: hundreds rotary of GunSight mills needs 9 clicks to go from 0 to 1 Improved: Flight Director bars visibility DCS: JF-17 by Deka Ironwork Simulations Fixed: some tiny bugs of radar/datalink contact fusion DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges Systems: Automatic firing of radar guided missiles is fixed. Fixed 'Nose wheel steering high sensitivity button' not popping out after nose wheel gear lift off, when autostart was performed before. Changed F1CE/BE IDN logic in TE mode - the wide needle will stay at the last valid position instead of going to 0, when a TACAN station is not received. Corrected bug in which, with additional vector selected and no TACAN signal, the wide needle always pointed to the West. Radio: Fixed an issue with radios that were not tuning to Easy Comms frequency, if attempted to do this while being in AR (OFF) mode (but with electric bus power being available). A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric bus power. F1BE: Only TRAP-136 can be used now for Easy Comms frequency autotune from the rear seat. F1BE: With Easy Comms option enabled, TRAP-136 priority is automatically switched to the seat from which the radio dialog was activated. F1BE: Now the other seat radio panel is not affected by Easy Comms autotune. I.e., when TRAP-136 communication is activated from the rear seat, the forward seat panel frequency/mode is not changed, and vice versa. General: Added several Single and Quick Start Afghanistan map missions (Mirage F1 CE, EE and BE). Added Iraq Quick Start and Single missions. Fixed texture of Mirage F1EE weapons panel integral light. Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric power. Now, in Easy Comms, always a radio of the current seat is used for frequency autotune. Accordingly, the radio priority is automatically switched to that seat. Custom (defined in the module) Belouga BLG66 bombs were replaced by DCS standard ones. Improved textures of CBL200, as well as of AN-M3 and DEFA-553 gun pods. Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons. DCS: South Atlantic by RAZBAM Simulations New: Introduction of Winter Textures with emphasis on providing Ultra-High detail around the Falklands Island High-detail custom normal maps for the entire Falkland Islands New Normal maps across Argentina / Chile Improved: Further enhancements to ground vegetation, delivering a more realistic look and feel across the entire map NOTE: June is the summer hemispheres winter and as the default date for the South Atlantic map is June the default will be winter DCS: Kola map by Orbx New: Added Bardufoss Airfield Added Kattila Airfield Improved: Added TACAN at Andoya airfield Added towns next to new airfields Enhancement to the terrain visual quality from lowish level First pass optimization for some blocks Campaigns DCS: F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign by Badger 633 Missions 10 all variants: Dodge not carrying out SEAD, fixed.

In the next DCS update, George AI Copilot/Gunner (CPG) will be receiving a significant upgrade, along with some improvements to his existing logic and behavior, in an effort to make him more realistic, interactive, and capable. It is important to note that no changes have been made to any existing AI Interface commands or control functions. Rather, additional commands have been added to the AI Helper Controls (Left/Right/Up/Down) when the AI Interface is displayed and set to NO WPN, and the Consent To Fire command has been modified as a contextual, multi-purpose button. In the graphic below, the new AI Interface is shown, with the new commands identified. New search tasks (explained below the AI Interface graphic) may be configured using the Left-Long and Right-Long commands while the AI Interface is set to NO WPN. The function of the Consent To Fire command under the current conditions is displayed in the center of the AI Interface, with the short press (<0.5 seconds) function displayed above the long press (>0.5 seconds) function below it. It is worth noting that the Consent To Fire commands may still be used without displaying the AI Interface. For example, if the player wishes for George AI CPG to begin performing an Area search, a long press of the Consent To Fire button may be used without the AI Interface displayed. However, to select a different Area search, the AI Interface will need to be displayed and set to NO WPN. New Search Tasks Up until now, George AI CPG could only be commanded to perform a direct, momentary search for targets along the line-of-sight of the Pilot’s helmet or the TADS sensor turret, and would rank those targets based on threat priority (i.e., air defense units would be at the top of the list). The player may now choose from 7 additional methods for George to search for targets, facilitated by the new changes in the AI Interface. Direct Searches. These are two searches that George was already capable of performing up to this point. PHS SEARCH - George slaves the TADS to the line-of-sight of the Pilot Helmet Sight (PHS) and performs a momentary search for targets. Targets are ranked by threat priority. TADS LOS SEARCH - George performs a momentary search for targets along the current TADS line-of-sight. Targets are ranked by threat priority. Area Searches. These searches allow George to proactively search for targets in a designated area or based on FCR target locations, visually identify FCR targets prior to an engagement, or perform battle damage assessment of engaged FCR targets after an engagement. FWD AREA - George slews the TADS in a 90-degree search pattern directly in front of the helicopter and continuously searches for targets. George will verbally announce when targets are detected but will not generate a Target List unless the AI Interface is displayed. Targets are ranked by threat priority. PHS AREA - George slaves the TADS to the line-of-sight of the Pilot Helmet Sight (PHS) and then slews the TADS in a 45-degree search pattern centered on the PHS-directed azimuth in relation to the helicopter nose and continuously searches for targets. George will verbally announce when targets are detected but will not generate a Target List unless the AI Interface is displayed. Targets are ranked by threat priority. FCR TGTS - George generates a Target List based on FCR target data obtained by the onboard FCR scans performed by the player or received across the datalink via FCR TGT Report or RFHO. George will enable C-Scope and attempt to identify the FCR targets highlighted in the Target List. If the target cannot be seen due to visual obstructions, George will verbally announce it. If the target is destroyed, George will verbally announce it and remove the target from the Target List. OWN PFZ - George slaves the TADS to the PFZ assigned to the ownship and continuously searches for targets within the geographical boundaries of the zone. George will verbally announce when targets are detected but will not generate a Target List unless the AI Interface is displayed. Targets are ranked by threat priority. ACTV PFZ - George slaves the TADS to the activated PFZ and generates a Target List based on FCR target data obtained by the onboard FCR scans performed by the player or received across the datalink via FCR TGT Report or RFHO. George will enable C-Scope and attempt to identify the FCR targets within the geographical boundaries of the zone and highlighted in the Target List. If the target cannot be seen due to visual obstructions, George will verbally announce it. If the target is destroyed, George will verbally announce it and remove the target from the Target List. Point Searches. These searches allow George to search for targets in the vicinity of a TSD point or the FCR Next-To-Shoot (NTS) target after the Player has Linked the TADS to the FCR in the Pilot seat. POINT - George slaves the TADS to the selected TSD point to perform an indirect rocket attack from behind cover; or may be commanded to adjust the TADS field-of-view setting, toggle the selected sensor (FLIR or DTV), or fire the laser, to assist with performing reconnaissance. If subsequently commanded to search for targets, George performs a momentary search for targets. Targets are ranked by geographic proximity to the TSD point, regardless of unit type. LINKED - George may be commanded to adjust the TADS field-of-view setting or toggle the selected sensor (FLIR or DTV), to assist with performing visual identification or battle damage assessment of the FCR NTS target. If subsequently commanded to search for targets, George performs a momentary search for targets. The closest target that matches the classification of the FCR NTS target is ranked as the first target in the Target List, and all remaining targets are ranked by geographic proximity to the NTS target symbol, regardless of unit type. New capabilities and procedures George must be commanded to perform start-up procedures if spawning into a cold start AH-64D. However, George will assist with more of the start-up checklist items such as powering on the FCR and RLWR, and will verbally announce to the player as he completes major items such as boresighting his helmet or when the FCR has finished its power-on sequence. George may also be commanded to perform the relevant shutdown procedures. George is now capable of engaging multiple targets in sequence. When presented with a Target List, the player can select multiple targets from the list, as shown below. In this image, the player has selected 4 targets from the list by pressing the Consent To Fire button as each target is highlighted in the list. If the player presses Right-Short to command George to begin tracking a target that has been added to George's "shoot list", George will slew to the first target in the list (tagged as 1). If the player presses Right-Short to command George to begin tracking a target that is not added to the shoot list, the shoot list is canceled and George will only track/engage that single target. As before, George will still wait for a Consent To Fire command before engaging the target if set to HOLD FIRE. However, once his current target is destroyed, he will automatically slew the TADS to the next target on the shoot list and wait for another Consent To Fire command before engaging the next target. If set to FREE FIRE, George will begin engaging if engagement parameters are met, and then automatically slew to the next target once the first target is destroyed, and immediately engage the next target (again, assuming engagement parameters are met). When tracking a target and GUN or MSL is selected, a short press (<0.5 seconds) of the Consent To Fire command will direct George to fire his assigned weapon as before. If the Consent To Fire command is pressed and held (as signified by the ADJ+ label in the center of the interface), George will adjust the crosshairs onto the center of the target to prevent laser overspill beyond the target itself, and then re-establish an auto-track on the target when Consent To Fire is released. However, the player should fly in a stable manner while George is commanded to refine his aim using this function, which is why the player has been given a command to coordinate the timing of such actions. Improvements to existing logic and more verbal communication The existing logic of George AI CPG has been improved, with more realistic behavior and procedures. For example, if the player has set the RF MSL PWR to OFF, and the player subsequently commands George to use RF missiles, George will set the MSL PWR back to AUTO. George will also verbally communicate to the player what is required for him to perform a command or provide verbal feedback if he is unable to perform a command. For example, if George needs the player to maneuver the helicopter into launch constraints before he can fire a missile, George will verbally request the pilot do so: "Get me in constraints". Previously, George would not fire an AGM-114 missile if any Performance Inhibits or Safety Inhibits were displayed, even if the Player pressed the Consent To Fire button. This would lead to confusion as to why George was announcing "Engaging" but did not actually fire a missile. Safety Inhibits cannot be overridden, but a Performance Inhibit may be overridden if George pulls the weapons trigger to the 2nd detent, which he will now do if ordered to do so. If any inhibit, Performance or Safety, is displayed when George is ready to fire a missile on his current target, George will announce "Constraints" to request that the pilot maneuver the helicopter into appropriate launch constraints. When and if this occurs, the player may now order George to override a Performance Inhibit by pressing the Consent To Fire button (except BAL LIMIT if the target is out of range). However, it is important to note that the presence of a Performance Inhibit increases the possibility the missile may not hit the target, either due to failure to acquire a laser or not being able to maneuver to the target. Therefore, the player (as the "pilot-in-command" of the helicopter) must be judicious with this command when a Performance Inhibit is displayed. This gives the player the freedom to make tactical decisions regarding when it is appropriate to override an inhibit, at the risk of expending a missile without striking the intended target. An updated DCS AH-64D Early Access Guide will be included in the next DCS update to fully describe these new functions and features in detail. We hope that these new features to George AI CPG will provide a much more engaging gameplay experience in the DCS: AH-64D.

Dear all, We've reached a milestone developing the new ATC system for DCS, and we now require a small group of miliary ATC to consult with and help provide voice over support. If you are an active or retired military ATC controller and wish to assist, please message me. Best wishes, Wags

Su-22m4 for DCS World! Mod developement thread. discord: https://discord.com/invite/6yqcEngfE8 First of all, this is separate project from Sniper's and Octopuss Su-22. I'm making Su-22m4 with custom cockpit and external model, based on FC3 (Su-25A) avionics with PFM. Mod will be released soon as a AI 3d model replacement for Su-17m4 and then, in the meantime I'll work further on developing the flyable mod (mainly working on cockpit) External model is 90% done, with most of the animations, and some liveries. Liveries include Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Russian, Syrian, DDR and some other. Cockpit needs to be animated as well with making all the scripts and logic in lua. Yes, it will have variable sweep wings! It will carry a lot of unguided weaponry such as bombs and rockets, as well as guided munitions such as Kh-29 missiles family, ARM and more. Maybe I will be able to add TV seeker view into the cockpit CRT without switching to Su-25T avionics, but I dont promise anything yet. No ETA, stay tuned, the AI replacement will be public soon.

Hey guys! No worries, I'm still here! And don't worry, there will definitely be a reveal of what I'm currently working on.

A-4E-C Version 2.3 Community Update Hello, A-4E-C pilots! We hope you are well. A-4E-C 2.3 brings greater compatibility with features introduced in DCS World 2.9, including fixes to radios, AGM-45 Shrikes, bomb fusing, and more. Visit our new Project Page at https://community-a-4e.github.io Download A-4E-C 2.3 at https://github.com/Community-A-4E/community-a4e-c/releases/latest If you downloaded in the first hour of this post being up, redownload the module -- there was a bug in the distribution workflow which causes a bunch of problems. It is fixed now. Version 2.3 - 14 May 2025 Added AGM-45 Shrike seeker head selection compatibility and sound response. There are some limitations that require pilot attention. After you rearm and before takeoff, a new set of new bindings (LSHIFT+1, 2, 4, 5) allow you to define the desired seeker head response for each station. Dynamic spawn A-4E-C units with AGM-45s in their loadout assume a MK 50 seeker. AN/APR-25 RHWS audio responses for SA-8, SA-10, SA-11, SA-13, and SA-19 search and tracking radars. Like the SA-3, these units give no audible launch indication. AN/ARA-63 MCL (ICLS) compatibility with Veinticinco de Mayo carrier. A-4E-C (Scooter) version number is recorded in DCS.log. Changed AN/ARN-25 Automated Direction Finder (ADF) antenna rotation speed increased. CBU 1/A, 2/A, and 2/BA launchers now use the DCS standard weapons introduced with the F-4E. Instant Action Carrier Start should provide a clearer taxi path to the Stennis catapult. Exterior light animation improvements. External 3D model UV unwrap improvements for canopy, speedbrake, tailhook hinge, wheel well launch hooks, and refueling probe. Kneeboard manual updated with new information, and corrected a few typos. Fixed Enabling TACAN and MCL/ICLS radios no longer cause crashes. Fixed TACAN bearing pointing North when off. MER and TER work with DCS bomb fusing. Non-axis throttle inputs properly disengage the APC. The ECM Panel REC warning light turns on if the AN/APR-25 RHWS is contacted by an SA-3 radar. AWRS STEP SINGLE and STEP SALVO bindings are no longer swapped. Raising flaps complies with Supercarrier crew "awaiting wing fold" requests. AI takeoff behavior on the Supercarrier (thanks Nearblind).

Hey everyone I've been working on a full-fidelity Piper Cub mod, specifically the WWII L-4A variant, for quite some time. Now that it's getting close to completion, I figured it was time to share it with you all. I started this project because I wanted to learn about aircraft physics and flight modeling, so I chose the simplest aircraft that came to mind, thinking I would just write the EFM and use a free 3D model as a stand-in. Eventually, I got tired of looking at ugly models and decided I wanted to take a stab at 3D art, so I ended up creating a 3D model, textures, and animations to go along with the EFM. Currently, the Cub mod features a fully custom EFM that uses a blade-element theory approach to model aerodynamics. This method divides the aircraft's wings, tail, fuselage, propellers, and other surfaces into multiple components and calculates the lift and drag forces acting on each aerodynamic component. These forces are then summed up to produce the total force acting on the aircraft every frame. This approach is really cool because of its simplicity and how it naturally captures complex flight dynamics that occur at high angles of attack, such as spins or snap rolls, without relying on large datasets stored in lookup tables. The EFM also includes a realistic simulation of the Continental A-65 engine and propeller, including effects like p-factor, gyroscopic precession, and propwash. While my primary focus has been on the flight model, I've also taken some time to make sure the model looks decent and is realistic to the L-4A. I chose this particular variant so it can be used in various WWII scenarios, whether early or late in the war, and it will have skins appropriate for the ETO, PTO, and MTO. Additionally, I've included some M1A1 Bazookas, so it has at least a bit of firepower, and we can recreate the exploits of Bazooka Charlie. Some parts of the 3D model are still WIP, but here are some pics of the current state of the Cub.

Hey all, I'm doing a tutorial series about the F4U Corsair. I hope they will help you master this legendary beast:

Dear friends and pilots. On behalf of our company, we apologize for this error. The removal of this part of the map was an internal error and misunderstanding. We will soon return everything to its place before the early access version (Northern part of the map). Having checked everything again beforehand. Thank you for your understanding, we really value the opinion of users, and have done everything possible to solve this problem. Thanks again for your understanding.

1. What are the system requirements - We recommend 32 GB of system RAM and 8 GB of VRAM 2. How much disk space is required? - 205Gb (Phase 1 - 110 Gb) 3. How much does DCS: Cold War Germany cost? - $55.99 USD at early access release and then later $69.99 USD at final release with all three phases. 4. How will the map be sold, as a whole or in parts? - The Cold War map will be released in phases, with each phase adding more terrain, airfields, cities and other features. Three phases in total are planned. The map will only be sold as the entire map. 5. What are the dimensions of the map? - 980 x 800 km 6. Will assets be released and when? - We have received many such requests. Ugra-Media will do everything possible to release a Cold War Germany assets pack with objects and equipment following the release of Phase 3. 7. Why are there static objects on the map if I can place them myself? - We were guided by the interests of the users. First, we did it for the sake of performance and FPS, and this is the best solution. You immediately get a polished product that allows you to fly without additional work in the Mission Editor. The world is already filled with life and details, but at the same time, free spaces are left open for your creativity; you can add your own objects without interfering with the rest of the map. 8. When will the seasons be released? - Autumn and Spring will be released with Phase 2. and Winter will come with Phase 3 9. Will there be destructible buildings? - Yes, most buildings have destruction models. Traditionally, this does not apply to original objects. 10. Will there be RSBN beacons on the maps? - Yes, East German airbases are already equipped with RSBN beacons. 11. Will you make SAM sites? - 40 SAM sites have been placed on the map, and some air bases include prepared SAM sites. 12. What airfields will be on the map? Full details on Phase 1 here (Cold War Germany Phase 1 Airfields and Bases) Phase 1 (59 airfields) @Hidden list@ Helicopter bases 4 and a lot of helipads: Airfields for small aircraft (27) : Phase 2 (10 airfields): Phase 3 (51 airfields): 13. Where can I see the progress of development? Here is our topic where we post information about the map, screenshots and videos:

UPDATE – BO-105 DEVELOPMENT STATUS It’s time for a proper update. Since 2013, I’ve been working to bring the BO-105 into DCS – and the path has been anything but smooth. I’ve gone through technical hell, complete rewrites, system redesigns, hardware issues – and just as many challenges caused by people, not technology. To be clear: some individuals actively made it difficult to realize this module. Instead of support, I encountered deliberate resistance, withheld knowledge, and ego games from so-called “experts” who could’ve helped but chose not to. But I didn’t give up. I pushed forward. A true game-changer came with access to the original technical documentation from Lager Lechfeld. These documents didn’t just clarify the system architecture – they provided every single value needed to accurately simulate the engine: flow rates, pressures, temperature limits, control curves, response timings – all of it. That level of data brought the entire project to the next level of fidelity. Right now, we’re fully focused on improving and finalizing the fuel control system, which is directly dependent on the GPFC (Gas Producer Fuel Control) – the brain of the BO-105’s turbine management. The current implementation includes: – Fuel flow logic and pressure dynamics – Ohmic resistance, voltage, amperage, and current load behavior – Hydraulic system response and complete onboard electrical logic – All connected in one integrated simulation environment The engine is being simulated 1:1, using real-world parameters – no assumptions, no placeholders. Just raw, system-level fidelity. And that’s not all – the entire rotor system is fully modeled, including the hingeless, rigid rotor head and its unique 78° phase lag. This key difference to conventional rotor systems has a significant impact on control behavior and is being replicated exactly in the flight model. So why all this? Because the BO-105 is the love of my life. This isn’t just about “getting it to fly” – it’s about honoring a machine that deserves to exist in DCS in all its technical brilliance. To those who’ve supported this project over the years – thank you. To those who made it harder – congratulations. You made it take longer. But you didn’t stop it. This isn’t just a helicopter mod. It’s a mission that started in 2013 – sharpened by adversity, fueled by obsession, and built with absolute love and respect for this aircraft. And yes – I know the flight model commentary is coming. I’ll be reading it… popcorn in hand

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/release/2.9.14.8222/ Introducing Mission State Save feature that will allow you to save mission states between mission play sessions. It is working with custom unprotected missions that you can make in mission editor to make any story for yourself and play it over several sessions and save meaningful mission parameters and events like destroyed units, date/time and current location of all aircraft and their waypoints etc. Mission state save generates a new .miz file which you can edit in the mission editor before continuing your story if needed. Dedicated server has a new .sav file type to support automatic mission state save and be less demanding on server administrator. This feature is WIP and initially aimed at the average user with no advanced mission scripting knowledge. We want to form its future updates based on your feedback and also add some support if possible that will be requested by community advanced content creators. For more details about this feature, please see the Mission State Save guide (Mission State Save - ED Team - ED Forums) and quick guide video from SUNTSAG: https://youtu.be/O-Hd8K-x8AA New campaigns: DCS: F/A-18C The Rampagers Campaign by Baltic Dragon DCS: Mosquito FBMkVI Freeman's Folly Campaign by Sunts Simulations DCS Core 3D models.

Other manual save methods does account positions and save them. While you are inside simulation there are some hotkeys combinations still active even when you are typing file name in dialogue window for the Mission Save file. Avoid using SHIFT+R to write capital R as it will also be read by simulation as a command that by default mapped to mission restart action. Best workaround is to not use capital letters for typing while in the dialogue window during the game. DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: TGP tracking target has jitter. Fixed: Player IR missiles can see through player aircraft prior to launch. Fixed: CCIP bombs consistently fall short from target. DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: FCS compensation for speedbrake deployment is tied to the Airbrake EXTEND button, instead of the speedbrake position itself. Fixed: Antenna elevation carat and B-sweep "swapped" in 1LOOK RAID. Fixed: BRU-41 with 6 BDU-33 appears to create excessive drag. DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics Improved FСR synchronization. Known synchronization bugs that we are working on: FCR animation for all users (currently only displayed for helicopter host). RMAP background (missing) on first client login if HOST scanned and stopped. With subsequent scan packets, everything is displayed for everyone. Fixed: Position Hold oscillation: When initially engaged, Position Hold can cause some large oscillations in attitude and lateral velocity. At times, the Position Hold can generate a ground speed in the opposite direction well beyond the initial position and velocity when initially engaged. When disengaged, Position Hold seems to generate an erroneous input through the SCAS. For example, if the helicopter was in a stable and trimmed hover and the Force Trim/Hold Mode switch is pressed to the aft position to disengage Position Hold, the green SCAS indicator may jump aft, incurring a nose up attitude when such a movement was neither commanded nor necessary. Fixed: RWR displays AI AH-64D FCR as "U" Unknown Fixed-Wing, even when AI AH-64D does not have FCR installed. AH-64D FCR removed from AH-64D RWR classification library. Fixed: HAI - The left wheel sinks into the ground upon landing. Fixed: No fire zone NFZ desync in multicrew. Fixed: RFHO target data erased when FCR selected as sight on FCR-equipped AH-64D. Fixed: Firing RF missile using TADS is advancing FCR Next-To-Shoot (NTS) target. Fixed: NTS is not sequencing when firing RF missile while FCR is selected sight. Fixed: Cued LOS Reticle displaced downward in CPG HDU when FCR slaved to FXD. Fixed: Displaying COM page on right MPD causes C/S> error on left MPD. Fixed: De-selecting G/S on VIS page is enabling VSEL (T6) if a CPG underlay is selected. Fixed: George CPG unit IFF label errors. Labels updated in the following manner: Inappropriate characters removed. Prevent overflow of characters outside of Target List. Revised confusing nomenclature of some unit types. Fixed: George CPG ranging behavior when employing gun. When tracking a target with the gun actioned, George will continuously lase to ensure accurate ballistics calculations prior to firing. George will only engage target within 2500 meters when in ROE FREE FIRE. May be overridden to engage out to full range of gun using Consent To Fire command. Fixed: George CPG gun burst interval when firing gun in ROE FREE FIRE. George will pause between bursts to wait for rounds to impact target before firing another burst. May be ordered to fire another burst early using Consent To Fire command. DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics Added: SYNC mode functionality for ASP-17 sight Added: functionality for R-60 missiles to react to flares before launch Fixed: Gear not lowered after repair DCS: F-5E by Eagle Dynamics Improved the appearance of the afterburner. Improved shaking effect of cockpit element under G load. DCS: F-86F by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: VOIP controls cannot be assigned to joystick. DCS: Yak-52 by Eagle Dynamics Fixed. Wheel brakes can not be disengaged after a hot start. Improved. Pneumatic starter parameters DCS: Mirage F1 by Aerges Default load out setup is now empty pylons and pylons can be removed to have a 'clean' aircraft. Fixed the inability to click the right canopy handle when the canopy is open. Ejection handles click spots positions are updated now correctly. Fixed all weapons released at once with 'Single' release mode selected. Weapon release sequence is interrupted now when 'Bombs, rockets, missiles..' button is released in 'Salvo' mode. IDN 'Additional target selector switch' now stops when it is in 'Dist' mode, and min/max distance limit was reached.

Dear all, Summer has come to an end and autumn is upon us. We hope you all had a great time during summer and of course, plenty of vacation to hit the beaches, enjoy cool drinks and fly some DCS. After the F-4E release we gave the team some air to breathe and to recharge, as mentioned before, however we have long since returned to advance our roadmap. We apologize for being a bit more quiet with updates the past few months, as we collected and prepared ourselves for a productive rest of the year 2024. Hence we felt it was time to bring you a comprehensive development update for our modules again, and we are delighted to do so. The team has been hard at work introducing new features, refining systems, and addressing numerous bugs to enhance your simulation experience. In this update, we will be diving into the latest developments across the DCS: F-4E Phantom II, DCS: F-14 Tomcat, and DCS: AJS37 Viggen modules. Each aircraft has received dedicated attention to ensure you enjoy the highest levels of authenticity and performance. Let's explore the exciting new features and fixes in detail. DCS: F-4E Phantom II - NEW Mini-Campaign - FROG-7 As you all know, our commitment to content in Heatblur modules is unparalleled and a plethora of new missions are planned for all our modules, including a new and free campaign for the F-4E Phantom II. Enjoy this little mini-campaign, which sets the mood for the larger, free campaign coming a bit later - Days of Atonement, following events of the Yom Kippur War. FROG-7: On the night of October 9 1973, Syria escalated the Yom Kippur War further by launching FROG-7 rockets at Israel's northern airbase, Ramat David. At 03:35, the missiles struck, killing one Israeli pilot and wounding several soldiers. Additional rockets landed in civilian areas, including Migdal HaEmek and Kibbutz Gvat, spreading fear and destruction among the population. The Israeli government decided to retaliate decisively. The very same morning the IAF launched strikes deep into Syria, hitting core military installations and infrastructure to cripple the Syrian war-making efforts and to prove that Israel was both still capable and willing to attack its enemies deep in their territory. These attacks were also intended as a deterrent to Jordan to enter the war. Relive some of the events following the October 9 FROG-7 attacks, including the famous Raid on the Syrian General Staff Headquarters in Damascus. The missions have been meticulously recreated based on a plethora of historical data and SME input from IAF veterans who flew during the Yom Kippur War, including the real life routes that have been used and events occurred during these missions - with as few liberties taken as possible within the limits of DCS. DISCLAIMER: This campaign is semi-historical, and while it tries to depict historical events as accurately as possible within the limits of DCS, it is in no way motivated by any political, or religious ideologies, and is not connected to any recent events. Rather, it is meant to let the player experience one of the most intensive periods of aerial combat for the F-4E Phantom II. Requirements: DCS: F-4E Phantom II | DCS: Syria | Optional: DCS: Combined Arms DCS: F-4E Phantom II - Systems, Improvements and Features We prepared a long list of bug fixes, systems improvements and new features for this update. As many of you requested, we finally added brightness control logic for the UHF repeaters. This improves the visibility across various lighting conditions, enhancing pilot experience in different operational environments. Furthermore, individual backlighting has been added for the WRCS ALT/RANGE placards. Based on the selected Delivery Mode, this backlighting will now indicate which of these is actively in use, bringing more situational awareness during flight. Night operations have also received attention with the addition of backlighting for the WSO ECM and KY-28 panels, improving usability in low-light scenarios. DCS: F-4E Phantom II - RWR Significant updates have been made to the RWR (Radar Warning Receiver). The RWR now detects active radar homing missiles, providing pilots with earlier and more accurate warnings of inbound threats. The RWR database itself has been updated to include new and previously undetected threats, making it a more reliable tool during combat operations. In addition, we've introduced new handoff sounds for emitters, which include the AIM-120, AIM-54, R-77, and Tornado platforms, allowing pilots to better manage their responses to multiple threats. Finally, ALR-46 RWR target separation (TGT SEP) button is now working, it lets you adjust the way the contacts are displayed to avoid symbols overlapping in environments that are highly saturated with emitters. DCS: F-4E Phantom II - New Weapons Weapon systems for the F-4E have also seen several updates. The BDU-33 practice bombs have been added to the inner wing pylons, offering pilots the opportunity to practice their bombing runs with increased realism. We've replaced the GBU-24B/B Navy Variant with the more accurate GBU-24A/B Air Force Variant, ensuring that the correct ordnance is modeled. For those flying the German F-4F, we have introduced the BL755 and SAMP-250KG LD Bombs mounted on TERs, accurately representing the specific loadouts used by the German air force. We've also included a visual-only ACMI/TACTS pod, adding to the authenticity of the aircraft’s visual representation without functional implementation. Furthermore, we have fine-tuned the sight depression limit, adjusting the mechanical range from -225 mils to -250 mils, offering more flexibility in targeting. Along with these changes, we have fixed issues with the Sight Reticle Range Bar, ensuring that it correctly indicates ranges in different modes. DCS: F-4E Phantom II - JESTER AI Navigation Update JESTER has received significant updates in this release, most importantly improving his navigation capabilities. Support for special waypoint types has been introduced, which can now be set up through either the Jester Wheel or the Mission Editor. These waypoint types include Identification Point (IP), Target (TGT), Visual Identification Point/ Nav Fix (VIP), CAP station between two subsequent CAP points and according QnA to set the desired vul-time (CAP), FENCE-IN (F-IN), FENCE-OUT (F-OUT), Homebase (HB), and Alternate (ALT), allowing for more sophisticated mission planning and execution. Jester also now supports in-flight INS updates through the NAV FIX function, which can be initiated via overflight of a VIP special waypoint, ensuring that navigation data can be refined and improved mid-flight. Details of these new functionalities can be found in the manual, which has also been updated. These new special waypoints will already receive more updates in the subsequent patch, such as a “silent VIP”, which allows for more low-key nav fixes on else regular waypoints, as was done for instance by the IAF during the Yom Kippur War, when flying their routes from IP Tower to IP Tower over the else featureless desert terrain of the Sinai. Additionally we want to tie checklists to waypoints such as Fence In and Fence Out in the future, and also allow for a more autonomous attack planning by JESTER based on your IP-TGT relation and mode selection. We are also currently working to implement a comprehensive list of set commands, such as you already know from the F-14, to allow for further mission scripting. DCS: F-4E Phantom II - INS Alignment First, we’ve reworked the entire alignment procedure. This new system is designed to streamline the alignment process, making it smoother and more efficient, ensuring your navigation systems are even more precise and dependable. Additionally, we’re introducing new dialogue options with Jester. These will provide greater flexibility in communication, giving you more control and interaction during crucial operations. Whether it's alignment or troubleshooting, you’ll have clearer, more dynamic exchanges with Jester. To further assist pilots, we’re adding more detailed information about the alignment process. This will give you a deeper understanding of each phase of the procedure, helping you anticipate and manage the alignment more effectively. With this added clarity, you’ll be able to ensure everything is properly set up for the most accurate flights possible. In cases where an alignment fails, we’re introducing new options to handle these situations. Instead of leaving you without clear guidance, the updated system will offer corrective actions, providing a path to recovery and reducing downtime. DCS: F-4E Phantom II Bugs In terms of bug fixes, several critical issues have been squashed. We’ve addressed crashes related to homebase TACAN and some problems with the Heatblur UI. Radar antenna range gate acquisition issues that affected certain scenarios have also been fixed. Additionally, we have resolved crashes experienced by users with DCS installed on Unicode directory paths, such as those containing non-Latin characters. Another fix includes correcting the logic that was preventing ECM warm-up from skipping during hot starts. Lastly, we’ve resolved an issue with the Pave Spike STOW and WRCS/INS OUT lamps incorrectly illuminating during BIT 1 tests, ensuring these systems function as intended. Improvements have also been made to the control inputs. New 4/8-way hat steering binds have been introduced for the Jester Wheel, providing greater control over AI management. Self-accelerating knob binds have been added for various cockpit controls, such as the Sight Depression, HSI Course, Target Latitude/Longitude, and Bombing Pull-Up Timer, simplifying input management for these functions. You may want to remap some of your slow/normal/fast keybinds, though we kept these to offer you more choice. Several issues with broken bindings have also been addressed, and missing toggle and axis binds have been added for systems like the Antenna Switch, Anti-Skid, and Emergency Gear handles. Audio improvements for the F-4E are another highlight of this update. The engine sounds have been overhauled, offering a more immersive and authentic auditory experience that enhances the sensation of flying the Phantom. Canopy sounds have also been improved, adding further depth to the aircraft’s interaction with its environment. Visually, we’ve made several important updates. We fixed the external engine blades LoD00 - LoD01. The fuel tape visibility has been improved for better readability during flight. A previous issue where formation lights disappeared when zooming out has been resolved, ensuring consistent lighting visibility. The throttle animation has been updated to include afterburner detent sideways movement, bringing more realism to throttle operations. Various cockpit indicators and animations, including those for the HUD and other critical systems, have been reworked to enhance both visual fidelity and functional accuracy, and much more. Beyond these updates, we’ve refreshed the in-game manual to reflect all the latest changes and features, ensuring pilots have the information they need at their fingertips. Missions have also been updated to take advantage of these new capabilities, and new ones have been added for greater variety, introducing the first set of basic instant action missions for the new Afghanistan map, with more to follow. Additionally, we’ve introduced support for Historical Mode in the Mission Editor, allowing for more authentic mission setups. For mission creation, we’ve added new models, including an IP Tower and a GHQ Building, expanding the possibilities for mission design. Lastly, new liveries have been added, such as the Israel Kurnass 303 Toad 1967 livery with thanks Fish. DCS: F-14 Tomcat For the F-14 Tomcat, we’ve made several important updates to systems, weapons, controls, and more. One significant fix addresses an issue in NAVGRID mode, where true bearing was incorrectly displayed instead of magnetic bearing. We’ve also updated the TID repeater on the pilot's HSD, which now functions properly when the RIO selects TV mode. Laser code settings have been removed from the Kneeboard and Mission Editor aircraft properties, and you should now use the new fuze settings for configuring these codes in the DCS rearm menu. Weapon adjustments for the F-14 include correcting the LAU-10 Zuni pod mass, reducing its weight by 150kg to reflect the correct loadout specifications. Unnecessary fuze settings for the BDU-33 practice bombs have been removed. We’ve also made the TARPS pod compatible with a wider range of munitions, including the Mk 82, Mk 83, GBU-12, and GBU-16, offering more flexibility for mission planning. Several fixes have been made to resolve corrupted weapon names in the Jester Ordnance Menu, and we’ve aligned the default payloads between the two Tomcat variants to ensure consistency. We’ve also made several fixes to the cockpit controls. Issues where controls were clickable from the wrong cockpit have been addressed. Three-position switches now move in the correct direction when left or right-clicked, and tooltips for the IFF panel have been adjusted to provide clearer and more accurate information. In addition to these updates, we’ve also added a first new set of basic instant action missions for Afghanistan with more to follow. Big thanks also to Kaba for an overhaul of the Cage the Bear campaign. Please note that older, obsolete versions have been removed, to keep the maintenance slim. DCS: AJS-37 Viggen The AJS-37 Viggen has received updates and bug fixes to improve both realism and gameplay. We’ve updated the airfield database to include support for the new Kola map and increased the maximum number of airfield reference codes to 98. The "Beredskapsvarning" warning is now enabled in LANDN P/O mode, adding more accuracy to emergency operations. Pilots can now select how REF codes are generated through a newly added Special Option, allowing for more customized mission setups. Several critical bug fixes have been implemented. An issue preventing the RB15 missile from locking onto targets when released in NAV mode has been resolved, ensuring more reliable missile targeting. We’ve also fixed problems with saving manually set runway direction and TILS data, providing better operational consistency. The BAS selector loop issue, which occurred when spawning at bases with IDs greater than 72, has also been addressed. Additionally, we’ve adjusted the flash rates for ground collision and "beredskapsvarning" warnings to 5 Hz and 2.5 Hz, respectively, bringing them in line with real-world operations. In terms of input controls, we’ve added toggle bindings for the ATT and HÖJD autopilot controls, offering more flexibility and ease of use. As with the other modules, new instant action missions have been added for the Afghanistan map, and existing ones updated to reflect the latest changes. Mission makers now have the option to filter out FARPs from the REF code list by adding "-REF-" to the unit name, allowing for more refined mission design. The manual has also been updated to provide comprehensive guidance on these new features. Q3 2024 and what the future holds The rest of the year is already packed full with tasks for the team, as we continue our efforts on the side of the release for the Viggen and the F-14, (our upcoming MSFS modules, as a side note,) the Eurofighter, of course and more. We are currently wrapping up the A-6 AI development, which we hope to bring to you in one of the next updates. And we hope that we can bring the early F-14A to you before end of the year as well. Beyond that, we will of course have more in depth updates for you on the development of our various modules as the year keeps moving along. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated community for your ongoing support and invaluable feedback. Your passion and engagement continue to inspire us to extend our efforts in delivering the highest quality simulation experience possible. Thank you for being part of our journey to push the boundaries of flight simulation. Fly safe, and see you in the skies! The Heatblur Team

F1BE rear seat 'Oxygen warning cut-off switch' was added to autostart/autostop macros. Fixed artifact when canopy is opened mid-air. Weapons: Now "Cannon 300-600m and missile lock/unlock button" release (return back to 30 degrees scan) will not break R550 target lock. To break lock the button should be pressed again. Fixed some types of payload that were restoring when jettisoned with 'Unlimited Weapons' option enabled. Reduced Sidewinder and Magic missiles launch preparation times, when those are launched unarmed (jettisoned for example). Systems: Both radio channels selectors now have a delay before repetitive action is started, when those are activated by the corresponding 'clockwise' and 'counterclockwise' input commands. Improved Optical Sight font readability, removed font artifacts at lower zooms. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev Fixed not working 4 stations ripple launches. Airspeed indicator reference bug now has unrestricted 360 degrees rotation. The standby horizon is now remaining caged when pulling the knob and turning it fully clockwise.

Dear all, With the next DCS: AH-64D update, we will be releasing the RMAP mode for the Fire Control Radar (FCR). Due to illness and time limitations, I was unable to create an instruction video for it. My apologies, as it's a very interesting features that a lot of time has gone into. In the meantime, please find attached a section of the DCS: AH-64D Guide pertaining to this new feature. Kind regards, Wags DCS AH-64D FCR RMAP Mode.pdf

Hey all -- I'm a fan of ED's products, and a DCS nut. I love flying, I love creating missions, I host two public dedicated servers (at >100 USD/month), I adore most of the modules for DCS - and own them all (yeah, that includes the Hawk). As the year is drawing to an end I looked at my hangar, and thought "well, there now sure seem to be a *lot* of unfinished 'Early Access' titles in here". A full 18 of them are slowly leaking an ever-increasing bit of frustration onto the well-lit floor. To me, each and every Early Access title that ED sell to me comes with a promise: that they will work diligently to finish as quickly as possible. Why do I think that? [source: Eagle Dynamics Home Page] Being an Engineer by trade (even though I'm a management goon for the past 30 years) I took stock of my EA module stable, fired up Excel (don't judge) -- and these are the cold hard numbers: Top Sheet Results: I currently own 18 EA modules that have accumulated 49 Years of EA Time. That is a lot, and my tiny mind immediately spat out another number: Assuming (educated guess) that the EA models on average require an effort of 18 person months to complete, ED's total Early Access Debt (to complete all modules) are 27 person years. So please hear my plea: Dear ED, please remember the promises you made to me and all your customers. I understand that you must sell modules to survive. And please understand that I also measure your efforts on how well you keep your promises. In that regard I think you can and should improve; the numbers currently are not in your favor, I know that you can do better. Please strive to be better in 2025 and the years that follow. I think it would befit a company of your status and reputation to reduce the Early Access Debt at the end of 2025 by 10 years, to 17, and I think it realistic that you can get under 10 years by the end of 2026. Here are the numbers, lest you want to check them yourself Module Released EA Time (Years) Remarks F-16 2019 5 F4E 2024 0.5 F-15E 2023 1 Assumed discontinued Mirage F-1 2022 2 Mosquito 2021 3 JF-17 2019 5 F-14 2019 5 YAK-52 2018 6 AJS Viggen 2017 7 CH-47 Chinook 2024 0.5 AH-64 Apache 2022 2 Mi-24 HIND 2021 3 Afghanistan 2024 0.5 Kola 2024 0.5 Sinai 2023 1 Normandy 2 2023 1 South Atlantic 2022 2 Assumed discontinued Super Carrier 2020 4 Total EA Modules 18 Products Total EA Time 49 Years Est'd Backlog 27 FTE (1 FTE ~ 1 Person Year) Data Source: Eagle Dynamics Web Site, as of November 2024 Yes, it's a simplistic world view (I am a manager after all). I hold ED accountable for everything that they sold me. I do not care if some subcontractor acted up. IMHO, ED are run by adults, and they know what accountability means: no excuses, no finger-pointing. They took my money, they made the promises, and I think they are good for the trust that I placed in them to keep them. And occasionally, they may need a soft push to remember that we believe in them and have not forgotten their promises.

A patch is never early or late, it arrives precisely when it means to . . Gandalf

I think this situation will help create some conditions and rules, including testing and communication between third-party developers and ED. I believe that any errors and their corrections make the product better! While we will return everything to its place, please evaluate the new objects and locations, new airfields, etc. Our team tried to make the module more interesting and useful in creating missions and free flights. PS: since the return of data will take a little time, we will also fix some bugs that have already been noticed. We are doing this immediately. Thank you for your understanding again!

Dear CH-47F virtual pilots, Although the DCS: CH-47F has been released, there are certainly important features that will still be added and improved during the Early Access period. To help better understand the status of the project, we’ve created a roadmap to ensure clarity. As with other roadmaps, we will color-code items based on their status: Green – delivered. Blue – in development. Gray – to be developed. Our roadmap features are as follows: First Person Pilots and Crew Models. Additional Paint Schemes for Several Countries. Improvements to the Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) including automatic turn coordination. Addition of the Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS) Core Functions that include automatic turn coordination, airspeed hold, and pitch attitude stability, and LCT. Longitudinal Cyclic Trim (LCT) actuators that adjust rotor tilt automatically allowing the fuselage to be level, even at high speeds. Differential Air Speed Hold (DASH) allows a more natural cyclic position as airspeed increases. (WIP) Addition of the Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS) Native Functions that include inertial and radar altimeter holds velocity, and position hold. Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) system. Addition of the Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS) Flight Director Functions provide MFD steering commands to the flight control computers while coupled to those selected cues.

Now you know that DCS: Cold War Germany will be interesting not only for users of the aviation part of DCS World, but also for users of military ground vehicles and allows you to implement a huge number of scenarios: - Confrontation of the Warsaw Pact and NATO countries with the possibility of reconstructing the war between the socialist camp and the collective West. - Implementation of exercises of the Warsaw Pact and NATO countries (Brotherhood in Arms (1980), Shield (1984), Able Archer 83. - Possible scenarios of the third world war. A separate important component of the map will be the implementation of military training grounds, where scenarios of interaction between different types of ground vehicles and air groups were practiced, this will allow players to implement scenarios of military exercises simultaneously for aviation and ground vehicles. Large Magdeburg training ground Infrastructure of tank ranges of the GDR and FRG Next week we will show the city of the Peaceful Revolution - Leipzig. Auf Wiedersehen!

15 November 2024 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, Our new fog system will at last be coming to DCS in the next update! For the past three years we have worked hard on delivering a radically new fog solution that will dramatically change your level of immersion in DCS. Please read the Volumetric Weather White Paper. It’s with great pleasure that we also announce the deck crew director system for DCS Supercarrier also coming in the next update. This long awaited feature will direct player and AI aircraft from parking locations to catapults and from the landing area to a parking location. Please read the details below. We’ve also included an update from Aerges on their Mirage F1 and upcoming F-104. Aerges are making impressive progress and we can’t wait to see what you think! The F-16C Arctic Thunder Campaign by Reflected Simulations will also be available in the next update. This intense F-16C Viper campaign over the Kola map will include 10 missions and over 2,000 voice lines. Check it out below. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics New Fog Effects Enhancements The next update will feature substantial enhancements to DCS weather in particular a new state-of-the art fog and dust rendering system. This highly immersive solution, which took more than 8’500 man hours to develop, allows both automatic and manual fog generation and accounts for sensor and AI line-of-sight blocking. It is calculated with our future spherical Earth in mind and can be highly variable based on density and altitude. It supports self-shadowing, blends with clouds, and is fully animated with moving cloud banks. Scenes from the early morning and evening hours are particularly convincing and offer a surprisingly realistic atmosphere. Please do read our detailed white paper here: Volumetric Weather White Paper. New Supercarrier Plane Directors Development Report When DCS: Supercarrier was originally released, it included a rich set of deck crew and animations that mimicked the process of taxiing on to the catapult and launching. In the next update, we are delighted to announce the added feature of plane ‘directors’ (yellow shirts) who precisely marshall aircraft from their parking space to the catapult. This usually involves multiple plane directors passing control from one key position to the next ensuring precise hazard free taxiing of the aircraft to their designated catapult. After landing, the same new director system will marshall players and AI aircraft back to their designated parking location. While the process of creating this for single player was a challenging task given the myriads of ways the process can be interrupted, the multiplayer aspect was far more complex than ever contemplated given the numerous ways multiple human players on the carrier deck could “break” the system. This led to more than four times the development initially budgeted for this feature and we apologise for the delay and hope you will enjoy the experience. Regarding the CVN-74 John C. Stennis, it is available as both a free aircraft carrier and as part of the Supercarrier module. This allows the Stennis to be used by pilots that own and do not own the Supercarrier module. For now and to maintain this compatibility, deck crew will not be supported for this particular aircraft carrier. We are working on a solution to resolve this in the future. F-104 Starfighter Development Report Aerges is pleased to update you on improvements to their Mirage F1 and C-101 and progress of their F-104. Mirage F1M MFD and HUD symbology, as well as their respective avionics logic, are in an advanced state of development. Much work is being done to polish the F1 systems in addition to fixing bugs reported by our community. Attention has also been made to the C-101 in order to keep it up to date and bug free. There has been an overhaul of the code structure to allow more effective coding and feature-sharing between the F1 and the upcoming F-104. Research continues on radar picture rendering and physics improvements. The resulting technology is also expected to be used for the F-104. Coding of the F-104 flight model and general aircraft systems is complete, as well as initial flight model validation. This includes engine, hydraulics, electrics, fuel, controls, armament, and miscellaneous systems. Avionic systems and integration with the cockpit animations and inputs is currently in-progress. The F-104 external model and cockpit textures are the result of a thorough research that included laser scanning. The next step will be the creation of the set of liveries. Please check out the F1 and F-104 development progress video. F-16 Arctic Thunder Campaign by Reflected Simulations February, 2024. Finland is on the verge of joining NATO when the unthinkable happens: Russian armed forces cross the frontier into Finland accompanied with massive air strikes. Its NATO allies immediately join the conflict to push the bear back across the border. Reflected Simulations’ F-16C campaign over the Kola map is based on real life events and tactics. Strap into a US Air Force F-16C Viper against a formidable threat. Take part in study level, highly realistic missions such as CAP, CAS, SEAD and precision strikes. Follow real life procedures in unprecedented detail. Launching simultaneously, a companion F/A-18C campaign by Baltic Dragon will be available that is woven into the same storyline. Now is an excellent time to purchase the Kola map! Experience what it would be like to fly as a fighter pilot in a large-scale air war today. Key Features: 10 immersive missions with a variety of different tasks: CAS, X-CAS, CAP, escort, pre-planned strikes, and more. An interactive intro mission that guides the player through the most important aspects of the campaign. Operations from road bases in Finland. Over 2,200 lines of dialogue with voice-overs. Custom ATC interaction for all the missions. Optional use of air-to-air refuelling or the choice to skip it. Detailed documentation, flight plans, maps, and target information available in both PDF format and from within each mission as part of the kneeboard. Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely,

Status update Still working on Russian assets. A lot of testing and fixing smaller issues. I also choose to add a new aircraft asset.

OneReTech, I and many others, believe that the decision to remove a large area of detail from the map, was done in poor taste and without any prior warning to us. The rationale and logic behind this decision was never communicated broadly or at all. This decision, downgrade, made me lose a lot of faith in you as a new developer. A year without updates and with silence, ok, fine. But to then come out with your first update and degrade the map? I cannot in good conscience approve of this behavior. If the concern in the back of your mind was to not interfere with another map maker doing an overlapping area, then this should’ve been considered before EA release. Not thought of and removed afterwards. Please communicate to us, and tell us why this was done, because many are upset and this is not right. thank you, the GUCC.

DCS: F-4E Phantom II by Heatblur Simulations NEW: Added a new and improved probe icing model (no visual effects yet). CTD: Fixed potential CTD resulting from JESTER-modding related lua files. Flight Model: Significant improvements to feel and accuracy, especially in landing and takeoff scenarios: Improved the stabilator simulation in ground effect - reduced the effectiveness very close to the ground and at high pitch angles. Minor adjustments to the airflow around the AoA probe with landing gear down. On speed should be slightly faster now. Flight Model: Reduced slat induced pitch oscillations when slowly passing the slat deployment/retraction AoA range. This should eliminate some of the “porpoising” that could happen when flying in specific airspeeds and AoAs. Flight Model: Improved the slats overcenter simulation. Systems: Fixed cockpit pressure initial value at hot start, which could also cause JESTER to freak out at high altitudes. Systems: Fixed the location of the landing gear limit switches and the related landing door operations issues like an occasionally stuck inner door. Systems: Tuned the pressure regulators of the hydraulic pumps to keep the max pressure closer to 3000 psi. Systems: Fixed hydraulic pressure drops caused by a bug in pressure calculations for some components (tubes and manifolds) residing behind a closed valve. Systems: Overhauled lamp damage; lamps damage and wear now yields more varied states and visual feedback. Ask your crew chief to replace the damn bulbs! JESTER: Fixed Jester Startup issues where JESTER would fail to initiate startup items in certain conditions. JESTER: Increased range at which Jester won't ask about fuel near airports and the nearest tanker somewhat. This feature will see more improvement. Multicrew: Fixed throttle cutoff in multicrew. The throttle should now move for the WSO in multicrew when the pilot moves it. RWR: Updated the RWR database. RWR: Updated handoff sounds. RWR: Fixed potential RWR handoff sounds looping issues. Visual: Fixes to the Flicker Animator to avoid stuck animations. Visual: Potential fix for unsynchronized refueling probe door in Multiplayer on other aircraft than your own. Sound: Aural tone system set to 50% volume for all starts. This is contrary to the manual but better for gameplay. Sound: Fixed a major soundbug where other Phantoms would be barely audible from your cockpit with the canopy up. Sound: Fixed strange “stepping” in audio for the left engine. Sound: Improved phasing-protection for dual-engine sounds. AI: Added TACAN AA to the AI aircraft. Inputs: Added a Special Option to force force-feedback off. Crew Chief: Improved the crew chief flight controls check stab down report. DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations Night Lighting: Made a pass to improve night lighting visuals, distances and extant issues, including: Fixed right wingtip collision light not appearing past LoD1 Improved distance at which nav/collision lighting is visible across most LoDs. Fixed formation lights (slimelights) disappearing on wingtips beyond 100m. Fixed wingtip lights not moving with wings with distant LODs. Forrestal: First pass to significantly improve Forrestal class lighting system: IFLOLS is not visible from the sides anymore. Runway lighting is visible from a longer distance. Changed min pixel sizes for most lighting types. Extended range at which mast navigation lights are visible. Increased refueling probe light distance; the basket should now be more visible when doing AAR at night. Made JESTER ignore neutral enemies detected visually in BFM. He will no longer go crazy and call out neutrals as bandits and give dogfight calls. ICEMAN: Disabled Iceman with weight on wheels. This should help with instances where you switch to the RIO cockpit and Iceman resets e.g. your trim or autopilot settings. Added A/A Tacan to AI aircraft. Fixed the flicker animator + afterburner animations when switching cameras. Added the Top Gun 104 livery for the F-14A. Fixed distant LOD appearing darker than it should due to a missing RoughMet texture. Fixed non-ownship aircraft not having exhaust sounds in Multiplayer; other jets should now be correctly audible from your cockpit with the canopy up. Fixed strange “stepping” in audio for the left engine. Improved phasing-protection for dual-engine sounds. DCS: AJS37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations Systems: Limited the distance parameter on pop up points to the whole km. Systems: Fix the “BANA line” hiding. Systems: Fix for kneeboard waypoint names. Systems: Removed repeating "Custom cartridge found" message in log. DCS: JF-17 by Deka Ironwork Simulations Fixed. Radar antenna scan center does not follow TDC under SAM mode. Updated. HPT info on MFCD radar page. WIP. TWS EXP mode DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges General: Module options are taken from the server mission now only for F1BE in multiplayer, and when it has 'Solo Flight' option disabled. In all other cases the options are read from local settings. Added shortcut for ‘Ready for pre-contact’ radio message to tanker. Systems: Fixed IFF panel being non-clickable in multiplayer missions. Navigation and formation lights should now be correctly visible on other clients in multiplayer. Fixed external animations that were stopped once the pilot ejected. It was especially noticeable with navigation lights in 'flash' operating mode. Other affected animations are landing and refueling lights (F1EE). Fixed inoperative 'Light and panel lighting rheostat Axis' input command. Fixed left wing fuel tank requiring unrealistically high Gs to rip off. Fixed F1 CE/BE IDN wide arrow moving to the last known TACAN position, when IDN is switched to VT mode, even with TACAN signal being invalid. Weapons: Fixed bug that prevented radar missile launch in auto mode. R550 pylon fire safety flap now, once retracted, doesn’t extend anymore when IAS drops below 150 kts. Fixed Sidewinder audio being not heard, when only the left wingtip pylon had a missile loaded. AIM-9B and AIM-9P missiles now can be launched only when g load is less than 6G. R550 missile launch can be activated now with intermittent track (i.e. with chopped lock tone). The missile will be actually launched once the steady track was established. R550 intermittent to steady track transition time now depends on the target off boresight angle at the moment when it was detected. Implemented R550 missile 30 degrees wide scan. The currently existing 5 degrees narrow scan (boresight scan) is enabled while "Cannon 300-600m and missile lock/unlock button" is held pressed. R550 and SW missiles can be locked now and missile audio can be heard with Master Arm in OFF. In these conditions the missiles can't be launched, and the missiles status will not be displayed on the Optical Sight. R550, SW, and R530 IR missiles will not be displayed as ready on the Optical Sight, before their gyros spin up is complete. R550 missiles will not be emergency jettisoned until the pylons safety flaps are in (once IAS is greater than 150 kts). Sidewinder missiles seekers instantaneous FOV and maximum track rates were updated. 3D model: Added missing F1BE rear canopy locking hook. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev Maximum movement speed of roll/pitch steering bars was limited. C-101CC: now when Flight Director VOR APP is engaged 'VOR APP ARM' light will be lit instead of 'APP ARM'. C-101CC: when VOR/ILS station signal is lost with one of NAV, APP, VOR APP modes in ARM, NAV/APP/VOR APP ARM light will cease, but HDG mode will stay engaged. C-101CC: when VOR/ILS station signal is lost with one of NAV, APP, VOR APP modes in CAP, the mode will not cease, but instead will switch to 'ARM'. Updated flight manual: sight line depression can be manually set up to a mechanical limitation of 299 mrad, though the displayed limitation is 199 mrad. Sidewinder missiles seekers instantaneous FOV and maximum track rates were updated.

DCS 2.9.15.9408 Introduced a new terrain module: DCS: Cold War Germany by Ugra Media Introduced a new campaign: DCS: F-4E Red Flag 81-2 Campaign DCS: Data Transfer Cartridge (DTC) by Eagle Dynamics This initial release of the DTC will allow you to create custom countermeasure programs and radio communication presets for the DCS: F/A-18C and DCS: F-16C. In future updates, this will be expanded to include more mission planning data like navigation waypoints, targets, threats, datalinks, route points, weapon settings, and more. The functionality will also be extended to other aircraft such as DCS: AH-64D and DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer. DTC programs can be created in the Mission Editor and prior to flying a single-player or multiplayer mission from the Briefing Screen. DTC programs can be saved, exported, and imported, allowing you to create multiple DTC programs for each aircraft based on the mission, and allow you to share DTC programs with friends. Please see the DTC Guide here and the instructional video. Data Transfer Cartridge for DCS DCS Core AI Aircraft. Wingman keeps saying "rejoin" but does not rejoin - fixed. AI Aircraft.

Guten Abend, Europa! / Guten Morgen, Amerika! When we were just planning "Cold War Germany", it was immediately clear that we needed to make not just a map, but something more: a place where you can realize all the possibilities of the DСS World. In addition to the fact that we made a large number of airfields on the map (more than 59), we scattered many helipads throughout the map, so it will be equally interesting for airplane and helicopter pilots. Access to all points of interest is maximum - you can take a short flight. And this seemed not enough ... Some real Cold War scenarios assumed massive ground battles, so we tried to make the map interesting for tanks as well: tank military bases and training grounds were added, where you can practice tactics and shooting. Get ready, we will show you a lot today. Let's start with the basis of our map - the airbase. The place from where you go on a mission and where you will definitely return. Airbases are the heart of any military campaign, and on the "Cold War" map they are recreated with historical accuracy. Our screenshots show key NATO and Warsaw Pact bases. Experience the atmosphere of West Germany (FRG - Federal Republic of Germany) and East Germany (GDR - German Democratic Republic). Get ready to take off! Gross-Dolln (Templin Air Base) (GDR) - Soviet air base. The field was special not only because of the very spacious facilities. It also had an auxiliary runway, which ran from the airfield in a southwestern direction, with a remote dispersal area at the end. Buchel (FRG) - Büchel Air Base is a military air base of the Luftwaffe. Spangdahlem (FRG) - is a NATO air base is used by the United States Air Force (some of you know her well). Wittstock (Alt Daber) (GDR) - Soviet air base. Soviet pilots had warm memories of this place. The Soviet pilots had warm memories of this place. And of course the children who lived nearby.

This makes a mockery of every time anyone was told a system was impossible to produce in DCS because there wasn't enough documentation.

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.9.9.2474/ DCS 2.9.9.2474 DCS - Core Game Fixed: crash that was induced by some modules using custom effect presets. (This crash was top in our crash reporting track system. Please keep sending crashes when able, it helps us determine and prioritize fixes, Thank you!)

@MAESTR0 I have learned today, that another 3rd party has instructed @OnReTech to remove parts of the Sïnai map that was already delivered to us customers, not even mentioned in the changelog, except for a "map size change". Now, for some reason or another, I come to the conclusion that the 3rd party mentioned has to be UGRA Media, Occam's and all. To come in front of this. Would you care to explain to us customers, why such action has been taken by UGRA Media? Have you even considered that these maps can co-exist, even if you both include the complete Israel? It could actually be a win-win for both, as it could enable DLC campaign creators to include both maps in their campaigns. With all the drama in the past months, I don't think the community neither needed or deserved this. Please reconsider. Let @OnReTech go North, while you guys head down South. Please don't let something this stupid tarnish your reputation and excellent work. I was really looking forward to your next project, whatever it is. Now, in case I'm beeing wrong here, you have my most sincere apology. Cheers!
