DCS: CH-47F Early Access Roadmap

[Wags]

Dear CH-47F virtual pilots,

Although the DCS: CH-47F has been released, there are certainly important features that will still be added and improved during the Early Access period. To help better understand the status of the project, we’ve created a roadmap to ensure clarity.

As with other roadmaps, we will color-code items based on their status:

• Green – delivered.
• Blue – in development.
• Gray – to be developed.

Our roadmap features are as follows:

• First Person Pilots and Crew Models.
• Additional Paint Schemes for Several Countries.
• Improvements to the Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) including automatic turn coordination.
• Addition of the Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS) Core Functions that include automatic turn coordination, airspeed hold, and pitch attitude stability, and LCT.
• Longitudinal Cyclic Trim (LCT) actuators that adjust rotor tilt automatically allowing the fuselage to be level, even at high speeds.
• Differential Air Speed Hold (DASH) allows a more natural cyclic position as airspeed increases. (WIP)
• Addition of the Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS) Native Functions that include inertial and radar altimeter holds velocity, and position hold.
• Addition of the Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS) Flight Director Functions provide MFD steering commands to the flight control computers while coupled to those selected cues.

NOTE: Native and Flight Director build upon the Core functions and are not independent.

• Complete main MFD pages and sub-pages where suitable for the simulation.
• Multi-Crew Gunner Positions.
• Additional Gunner Weapon Options.
• More Interactive Training Missions.
• More Instant Action and Single Missions.
• Full Manual.
• Muti-Point Sling Loading.
• Flight Engineer Sling Load Door.
• Operation and Look Out from All Non-Cockpit Doors by Flight Engineer.
• Extended Range Fuel System (ERFS II).
• Fire Extinguishers.
• Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) system.

Kind regards,

Wags
