ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 2, 2023 ED Team Share Posted June 2, 2023 DCS Newsletter discussion 2nd June 2023 - MiG-17F Announcement | Radar Development Report | UH-1H Last Show Campaign Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, We are excited to announce the newest addition to the DCS family - the legendary MiG-17F by Red Star Simulations! Check out the details below and get ready to take control of an aviation history icon. Development Screenshots. We would like to update you on the improvements coming soon to the F-16C and F/A-18C radars, notably realistic target detection and tracking in various operation modes. Phase 1 of this update incorporates more detailed and realistic modeling of the radar waveform that better accounts for reasonable detection range ratios between HPRF and MPRF modes. The model also has an adjustable speedgate option to select the width of the main-beam clutter notch filter, helping to reject or show unwanted targets. Please, note that this will be the initial release of the new radar model, and development will continue in future phases. SorelRo is launching their latest campaign, DCS: UH-1H The Last Show that promises an adventurous helicopter storyline. Stay tuned for the next Open Beta update! Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics 2 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

exhausted Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 This is one of the best updates in a while! MiG-17 is a day 1 buy for me, because I can see that so much has gone into this module by the Red Star team. While I personally have zero value for an Air Force F-4E without any carrier capabilities, I sure don't mind blowing them out of the sky! The Huey campaign looks interesting and I hope it takes advantage of the Caucaus map. Looking forward to it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volator Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 So great to see news about the Red Star MiG-17F. Unfortunately no dedicated forum for that one yet. I hope they include the East German modifications to the -17F to use it as a fighter-bomber: 2 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St4rgun Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 It's always good to read the fresh friday newsletters. But IMHO it would be nice to have them more structured by different topics like: aircraft module specific news map specific news campaign specific news sales news other server news core system / other module-independent subsystem specific news Now the last one is really missing for me, it would be advisable to have at least once a month (1 of each 4 newsletters) some status report about the ongoing core development (MT, VR optimization, DLSS, Vulkan). Last time the module independent subsystem topic was the report on the voice chat, more than a month ago (28th April newsletter). 2 PC: 10700K | Gigabyte Z490 | Palit 3090 GamingPro | 32GB | Win10 HMD: HP Reverb G2 | OpenXR @ 120% | OpenXR Toolkit: exposure, brightness, saturation | DCS 2.9: DLAA with Sharpening 0.5 (no upscaling) Controllers: VKB Gunfighter MkIII base & 200 mm curved extension center mounted + TM F16 Grip / MCG Pro Grip | TM TFRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Sweet, it'll be fun to just lie in the grass and try to get a drop on the Phantoms in that MiG-17. That thing was a dogfighting monster, if you can bait an F-15 into a turn fight below 450kts you'll have it dead to rights in a couple of turns if he doesn't wise up and go vertical. You could even give a Viper a run for its money, assuming a guns or tail chase heaters only fight. Edited June 2, 2023 by Dragon1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIKBELL Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Good to see more Red force plane now the MIG pilot career campaign has fewer holes... There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy.
