BIGNEWY · November 20, 2019

Dear Customers,

We planned and announced the release of our next Open Beta on the 20th November 2019.

However, due to substantial technical issues faced in the development of certain F-16C Viper features we are compelled to move the Open Beta release to the 27th of November 2019.

As a small bonus for your patience we have prepared a Thanksgiving gift – News of our new VoIP in-game feature:

DCS Voice chat gives our players the possibility to talk within DCS multiplayer sessions without the need to use other applications. It's based on WebRTC technology and brings high-quality audio communication to the game right out of the box.

For the initial release, Voice chat contains one common room and separate rooms for each coalition with free movement between common and chosen coalition rooms. Soon after the release, we'll add support of user-created rooms with the possibility to create a personal audio chat for you and your friends. Also, you can choose to use an open mic or Push-to-talk function.

We have huge plans for further development of the feature including automatically created rooms for multi-crew, radio support with real radio visibility depending on the power of actual radio units and terrain, etc.
