ED Team Graphics Posted December 23, 2022 ED Team Share Posted December 23, 2022 23 December 2022 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, The 2022 DCS Christmas Sale is running until the 8th of January 2023 at 23:59 GMT. We are also participating in the DCS Steam Christmas Sale. Check out massive 50% discounts on nearly all our modules and for the first time the 50% discount also applies to DCS: F-16C Viper, DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, DCS: Mosquito FB IV, DCS: Mi-24P Hind, and DCS: Supercarrier. Also, do not miss out on this opportunity of 30% savings on DCS: AH-64D! Please also note that the AH-64D is now also available in the Free Trial Program. Our WWII warbirds and the Yak 52 have received our new engine cooling model. This sophisticated re-write includes improved oil and water/glycol radiator simulation as well as aftercooler and intercooler behavior, in addition to correct fuel mixture cooling effects. Radiator effectiveness and drag modeling is much more efficient programmatically, permitting the simulation of all engine emergency states – coolant and oil loss, oil pressure loss, coolant system depressurization, overheating, etc. On this very important weekend, we wish you and your family, friends and partners a very Merry Christmas: health, love and happiness always. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics Winter Savings 2022 DCS Winter Sale We are pleased to bring you the 2022 DCS World Christmas and New Year Sale. This is your chance to take advantage of the special 30% discount on DCS: AH-64D and for the first time the 50% discount will also apply to the DCS: F-16C Viper, DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, DCS: Mosquito FB IV, DCS: Mi-24P Hind, and DCS: Supercarrier. The great majority of our aircraft, maps and campaigns are available also with a 50% discount until the 8th of January 2023 at 23:59 GMT. We are pleased to be running the DCS Steam Edition Christmas Sale too!

For example, if one of the two radiators in the Bf-109 is punctured, it can be cut off with a special valve, and then the system can keep functioning with half the effectiveness but still pressurized. The new coolant system means that if there is a puncture towards the upper part of the coolant tank, they depressurise to atmospheric and thus with a low boiling temperature. The visual steam effect size now naturally depends on the type of leakage, either from a safety valve or from a bullet hole. Another new feature is a new model for bulk boiling occurring when the system is depressurized, and its temperature is higher than the boiling temperature for the ambient pressure. The coolant flow now depends on the system’s temperature and pressure, the total area of all bullet holes and the ambient pressure. A small but pleasant addition is different kinds of available coolants, from pure water to a winter type coolant with their different physical parameters. Merry Christmas! DCS 2022 Christmas Sale Merry Christmas and best wishes for this holiday season and for the year ahead. To you and all your loved ones, thank you for your trust and ongoing support during these tough times. Rest assured that we continue working hard to meet your most demanding expectations.

ED Team Popular Post Graphics Posted December 29, 2022 ED Team Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2022 30 December 2022 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, It is with the deepest gratitude to you and our Community, Partners and Friends, that we close 2022 and prepare for the exciting year ahead. We wish you and your family our very best wishes of health, love, and prosperity for 2023 and beyond. Thank you for your trust in our company and please don’t miss the ‘2023 and Beyond’ video, which will be released on 4th of January. Enjoy! If you haven’t seen the Christmas Sale video or already taken advantage of what’s in store, don’t miss some of the super savings available until the 8th of January at 23:59 GMT. This special sale features massive savings across nearly the whole range of modules but also a rare 50% discount on the DCS: Mosquito FB IV, DCS: Mi-24P Hind, DCS: F-16C Viper, DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, and DCS: Supercarrier. Thank you! We are pleased to announce that our Dynamic Campaign Engine (EDDCE) is progressing steadily, albeit slower than we had expected. The size and complexity of this endeavor is substantial, but we are excited to report that things are moving in a positive direction and that we are confident that this will be a game-changing addition to DCS. We are pleased to share some of the progress on the strategic tasking logic that forms the foundation of this core enhancement. We have also made significant improvements to the algorithms used to process the very large data sets needed when moving and tasking numerous units. Please read the details below. Thank you again for your commitment, passion, and support. Without your trust and determination, we wouldn’t be here. You make our dreams come true. Happy New Year! Eagle Dynamics Happy New Year New Year Savings We wish you health, happiness and joy, for 2023. Thank you for making our dreams a reality; we are truly grateful to you, our Community, our partners and friends. Please note that the DCS 2022 Winter Sale is on-going to the 8th of January at 23:59 GMT. Take advantage of this great opportunity to land exclusive savings on our best selling modules including the special 50% discount on DCS: F-16C Viper, DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, and DCS: Supercarrier. Dynamic Campaign Development Progress The EDDCE Dynamic Campaign Engine will be a part of the DCS Core, allowing the creation of special campaigns where air, sea and land units do not have pre-created tasks, but are rather controlled by the strategic AI. Each side initiates the campaign on the basis of start conditions of the conflict, this includes offensive or defensive position, asset resource list (including HQs, factories, warehouses etc), and specific objectives which are created from the onset for each individual campaign design. When a campaign starts, the strategic AI initiates the tasking process (ATO Air Tasking Orders, Ground tasking and Naval Tasking etc) for each unit in the side’s asset list and order of battle. This process of tasking and decision making is ongoing for the duration of the campaign and is a function of assets remaining and reinforcement and resupply cycles. It is important to remember that the player can take control of any AI unit and participate in its mission task and/or take indirect control over the strategic AI decisions, in addition to direct control over specific tasking orders. After having completed the global structure of the Dynamic Campaign Engine in 2021, 2022 saw substantial fine-tuning of the system’s individual components. For example, our general scheme of ATOs was built starting from defensive combat air patrol operations along borders, through all subsequent stages, including SEAD suppression of enemy air defenses, air superiority, CAS close air support, interdiction and deep strike. Ground equipment and operations also received a lot of attention. In addition to the actual movement of units to perform their assigned mission, a mechanism was created for correctly tasking vehicles in a group based fashion depending on their tactical situation: attack, defense, or transit. To increase the number of units in the campaign without over-tasking the CPU, only units that are ‘visible’ to the player or that ‘see’ the player (eyesight and sensor range based) are fully calculated. For the remaining units, lighter algorithms are used which are based on pre-calculated data sets. It is good to note that when preparing such data, separate mechanisms are used in EDDCE to easily process all upcoming equipment and weapons which will be added to DCS. To ensure that unit calculations do not negatively affect gameplay, seamless transitions between the lighter and the fully-fledged calculation models have been implemented. This will allow the player to see all the units in their correct place, performing their tasks while moving across the entire map. When interacting with the player, all units use the normal DCS algorithms. Another important task that received attention this year is the ‘front-line’ system. A new model of multiple front-lines has been implemented that allows for a more illustrative picture of breakthrough and encircling maneuvers. During 2022, the main engine elements were tuned, allowing campaign management to be more automated, based on the dynamic situations as they evolve in the campaign. Please do follow our news for more information on this exciting core element of DCS. Thank you again for your trust, passion and support, and thank you for making our dreams come true. Happy New Year! 50 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
