ED Team Popular Post Graphics Posted December 10, 2021 ED Team Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2021 10 December 2021 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, We are excited to share with you an overview of the new features that are imminently inbound to DCS: F-16C Viper. In the next Open Beta update you can expect the HSD Cursor, the ECM Pod, new air-to -ground features for the helmet and semi-automatic and automatic countermeasure programs. Also, look out for significant improvements to the FLIR picture. We now have considerable CFD research results for DCS: AH-64D that are being used for flight modeling corrections. Effort and time was spent on implementing tail rotor parameters, which have sophisticated the dependency on tail rotor pitch, tail rotor AoA, airspeed and tail rotor efficiency during flow deceleration in straight flight. Please read the details below and get familiar with Matt Wagner's video on the Basics of the Tactical Situation Display. We will continue to improve the FLIR image with the launch of DCS: AH-64D. Part of the process involves updating the infrared characteristics of all our ground units. Please take a look at the In Development Screenshots. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics Team F-16C Viper New Features We are now engaged in new features for DCS: F-16C Viper and look forward to sharing the details with you in the next Open Beta update. It is with great pleasure that we can guarantee you the arrival of the ECM Pod, a very much improved HSD cursor, new AG features for the helmet and semi-automatic and automatic countermeasure programs. Also, keep your eyes peeled for an updated FLIR picture. AH-64D Development Progress Dynamic Modelling Currently we have achieved satisfactory flight dynamics parameters resulting from payload, fuel quantity, aerodynamic surfaces (wings, fin, horizontal stabilizer) and main gear. Any changes of payload or fuel affect the center of gravity horizontally and vertically which in turn changes inertia, controllability and balance state of the helicopter in flight. Overall, the AH-64D Flight Modeling is step by step approaching an excellent level of “realism” and our SMEs are enthusiastic with the results to date. Each and every correction or modification step in the flight model (tail rotor characteristics change for instance) requires another run of the checks for balancing characteristics and flight dynamics. Because of that we are constantly doing test flights and correcting inaccuracies. If you have not already, please check out the next video in the tutorial series: DCS: AH-64D | TSD Basics. 3D Models Development Progress We have prepared a preview of the appearance of 3D ground units to infrared sensors. In the above screenshots, you may notice attention has been made to the signature of tires, which increase in brightness based on distance driven over various terrain types. We are doing our best to consider the shape and size of the objects, temperature, reflection of external sources. Infrared signatures vary significantly with changing season, time of day and engine loading. The guns, cannons and engines will also emit contrasting radiant intensities and cooling times will also be part of the overall FLIR improvements, coming soon. Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely, 53 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Graphics Posted December 17, 2021 ED Team Share Posted December 17, 2021 17 December 2021 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, We are pleased to inform you that Open Beta 2.7.9 is coming in hot and we expect to have it for you next week.
