Flaming Cliffs 2024 Planned Launch Date We are thrilled to announce the release of Flaming Cliffs 2024 in the next update! This new release will enhance your DCS experience with new Flaming Cliffs level aircraft such as the F-5E, F-86F and MiG-15bis. Flaming Cliffs (FC) 2024 will expand the series with the inclusion of three new aircraft: the FC: F-5E, FC: F-86F, and FC: MiG-15bis. These aircraft are designed to be less complex and easier-to-learn, making them ideal for players who prefer a more straightforward flight simulation experience. The new models come with DCS Professional Flight Models that ensure a high level of realism. The F-5E is equally capable of air combat and unguided-ground strikes. Its arsenal includes infrared-guided ‘Sidewinder’ missiles and two cannons for close-in air combat. It is also equipped with a radar that can detect targets beyond visual range. For ground attack, the F-5E carries a large array of unguided bombs and rockets. The F-86F is a legendary fighter of the Korean War era. It is a very capable dogfighter armed with 50 calibre machine guns and early infrared-guided air-to-air missiles. In skillful hands, it was more than a match against other aircraft of the era and a fierce rival to the MiG-15. The F-86F can also be armed with unguided bombs and rockets for ground attack. The MiG-15bis was a revolutionary fighter when introduced during the Korean War and outmatched anything in the skies until the arrival of the F-86. It was a small and light fighter but very rugged and tough. Loved by all its pilots it is an outstanding dogfighter when flown to its strengths. It’s armed with both two 23mm guns and a single 37mm cannon that can inflict severe damage. Existing Flaming Cliffs 3 owners with F-15C, A-10A, Su-27, J-11, Su-33, Su-25, MiG-29, and MiG-29S, can upgrade to the new version for a early mover $9.99 USD fee, offering an affordable way to enjoy these great additions. This special offer will only be available until the end of July, thereafter the upgrade price will increase to $14.99. You can also purchase the FC: F-5E, FC: F-86F, and FC: MiG-15bis individually for the price of $14.99 USD each. Bye Phant

Supercarrier Air Boss Development Progress We are also delighted to announce that DCS: Supercarrier will receive the first part of the long awaited update, notably an interactive Air Boss view that allows you to directly control the Supercarrier in both single-player and multiplayer. Please stay tuned for the next update. One of the new features coming soon to DCS: Supercarrier is the Air Boss (Primary Flight) deck. This offers fun new features that will allow you to steer your Supercarrier, monitor the flight deck, adjust ship lights, monitor the airspace around you, view Landing Signal Officer information, and have a command view of “the roof”. Air Boss control can be assigned roles in both single player and multiplayer missions. This will add a new dimension for online carrier operations. Coming soon are the new plane ‘directors’ that will help direct aircraft from their parking spaces to a catapult and from the landing box to a parking space. This functionality is now complete for single player and we continue to work on the much more complex task of implementing for multiplayer. Stay tuned! Bye Phant

OctopusG DCS: La-7 DEVELOPMENT NOTES In this recent note, let's focus on a small but important detail concerning the operation of the hydraulic system of the La-7 aircraft, which is designed to control the position of the landing gear and flaps. The control valve levers for the landing gear and flaps have three positions: "DEPLOYED," "NEUTRAL," "RETRACTED." After completing the retraction or deployment of the landing gear and flaps, the pilot must move the lever to the "NEUTRAL" position. Delaying the return of the lever to the neutral position leads to an increase in pressure in the hydraulic system and premature failure of the hydraulic pump. It should also be noted that the flap control valve can only operate when the landing gear valve is in the neutral position, as it is connected to the idle circuit. As you can see, using the aircraft's hydraulic system requires attention and precision. Watch our instructional film, which visually demonstrates the rules for operating the La-7 aircraft's hydraulic system: Bye Phant

INS + GPS for F-16C Development White Paper The navigation system on the DCS: F-16C Viper is a complicated mixture of technical solutions that supplies the navigation avionics with coordinates, velocities, and angles that are characterized by precision, availability, integrity, and autonomy. This is achieved by the cooperative work of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) whose navigation inputs are processed through a Kalman filter in the Modular Mission Computer (MMC). Let’s discuss each of the components in detail in the F-16C Viper GPS + INS Whitepaper. Bye Phant

Operation Mountain Breeze Campaign by Sandman Simulations In the fall of 2015, the Syrian Civil War rages between the rebels and Syrian government forces. The involvement of several foreign powers, ISIS, and Hezbollah in the conflicts further escalates tensions. The USS Theodore Roosevelt’s Air Wing has been tasked to establish a no-fly zone over the western parts of Syria to prevent attacks on civilians. This story-driven campaign places you in the boots of a junior, US Navy pilot of the VFA-131 Wildcats squadron. Your skills as an F/A-18C pilot will be tested across 15 challenging missions. You'll receive detailed mission briefings with charts and kneeboards that can be accessed both in-game and PDF briefing documents. Detailed briefings are provided by the squadron skipper and flight lead using “in-game” mission briefings. Performance-based feedback will be provided after each mission. Voice-overs narratives between missions enhance immersion and create a compelling and varied experience. Prepare for intense dogfights, close air support, SEAD, and strike missions. The Skipper has high expectations for you! Hopefully, you can meet them. Bye Phant

This week we fed the MEDUSA system with additional information. This also includes the turbulence of the ground effect moving backwards through the tail rotor and the stabilizer. Furthermore, the precise, physical force programming automatically resulted in the famous collective effect, which is typical of the BO-105. As many people know, this effect is speed-dependent. The faster you fly, the more aggressive this effect is. A Red Bull pilot told us that you can fly a pattern with the BO-105 using only the collective and pedals. This procedure is taught to all aspiring aerobatic pilots as a requirement. Since the BO-105's response to a control input is ~0.08 seconds, special maneuvers become very unusual, also due to the hingeless rotor system. In the meantime - Pilot/Co-Pilot got their belt.

FM at 98 %! The downwash and transition was sent to the MEDUSA system today. The physical formulas work together and calculate all necessary situations. The downwash/ground effect is calculated from all 10 sectors per rotor blades. As the air cushion moves at increasing speed, it reacts to external influences such as OAT, air density, wind and attachments to the helicopter. Subtleties such as the pointer deviations when the tanks slosh during control inputs, or turbulence on the pickup such as the clib/dive indicator are implemented as an extra feature. Next, the BO-105 will be released to the SMEs and BO-105 pilots for testing. Pilot/CO-pilot is already in the cockpit. The screenshot shows the status without normal/roughness maps: FONTE https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=122108706344312022&id=61559360667659&ref=embed_post Bye Phant
