Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, 

As the summer sun sets in the northern hemisphere, we are delighted to announce up to 50% savings in our DCS End of Summer 2024 Sale! There has never been a more perfect time to expand your hangar with incredible deals across all our most popular aircraft, terrains, campaigns and important add-ons. Watch the video!

DCS: Kola map has received a massive revamp to its summer time textures. All ground textures have been replaced with high quality custom textures that combine satellite and real imagery to deliver a much more realistic environment at low altitude. Check out the Development Screenshots and stay tuned for the next update!

Additionally, we are pleased to announce the upcoming Instant Action Generator (IAG). The IAG will offer an intuitive mission creator that operates outside of the Mission Editor. It will support numerous mission types across all DCS modules. 

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely, 

Eagle Dynamics

Kola map

Development Progress

Hero2.png

The next DCS update contains superb new summer textures for the DCS: Kola map. So far, all summer textures have been replaced with more refined images. The textures are now being generated using custom scripts that use multiple sources, including satellite imagery as well as aerial photography. Furthermore, the upcoming update includes the EFKS Kuusamo Airport and the EFIV Ivalo Airport with various towns and cities added around the new airfields. The colours at XLMV Severomorsk-3 Naval Air Base, UMOE Monchegorsk and ULAK Severomorsk-1 have also been updated. ESNJ Jokkmokk has been reworked too. Please stay tuned for the next update and make sure you update your DCS so you too can enjoy these fantastic enhancements! 

 

Instant Action Generator

Development Progress

Hero3.png

We are currently working on a new Instant Action Generator (IAG) that will replace the existing Fast Mission Generator. The IAG is designed to be user-friendly and allow you to easily and quickly set up simple air-to-air and air-to-ground missions without having to use the Mission Editor.  The primary objective of the IAG is to allow more mission content in an easy-to-use interface. Missions can range from simple dogfights, to bomber escorts, to close air support missions, and much more. The IAG allows you to choose your aircraft, map, and mission type, hostile forces, and then tune the mission generation with more detailed variables. 

The IAG is designed to work equally well across all eras of combat aviation in DCS and work with all aircraft and maps. It will be a free update to DCS.

Thank you again for your passion and support, 

Yours sincerely,

It seems, that it hasn't started yet. I don't see reduced prizes. Even most early access products are on full prize.

Why the discount in the Syria Map price, is getting worst, through time? Last year was 50%, this June was a 30% and now in September, is only 20%....

End of (Summer Sale) or (End of Summer) Sale? 🙂 Any sale is welcome, of course! I've had a birthday recently, so it comes in handy for a late present. 🙂

Thank you ED for your continuous efforts and updates. The latest version is a real joy to use due to its visual fidelity and smoothness. It would be even greater if you could find a way to ensure FC3 backwards compatibility so that third party / community aircraft mods based on FC3 parts could still be used in future versions of DCS. Thank you!

Regarding the upcoming Instant Action Generator, could we please have configuration settings to allow for easy setup of simple missions with only few enemy units, or with enemies spawning over a (random or potentially configurable) extended period of time so that they could be dealt with in a chronological manner rather than being confronted with them all at once?

I very much like the mission configurations from classics like the MicroProse simulator series - which of course were all single player back in the day - where the number of enemy aircraft and ground units to be dealt with at the same time was more easily manageable, and I do feel overwhelmed with the sheer amount of active air and ground units often found in DCS generated missions.

Thanks & keep up the good work!

Instant mission generator may prove to be really importand addition.

Months ago Kola map didn't look much better than Caucassus - but it looks way, way better now, flying Viggens through this detailed valleys is going to be a joy. Thanks for your work!

An hour into the sale, millions of people saw the video and... shop is still oblivious about it. 🙂 Shouldn't it be all ready when someone presses the red button?

Fantastic news on the Kola map. 

I've been using the winter textures as they look much better in the low detailed areas than the summer stuff. 

So I'm looking forward to using the summer terrain again.

It would be great if the new instant action generator can generate cargo mission for transport aircraft (trooptransport, slingload, csar...).

I don't actually have anything left to buy. So sale is of little importance for me. So I'll just continue to enjoy the Kola news

I like the IAG a lot, specially if allows to create some basic fighter sweep missions protecting a strike package or the likes of it. Current mission gemerator is too simplistic.

Btw is this coming soon or is it like the save game feature, announced and never showing up again?

Is it possible that the IAG is one of the steps necessary for dynamic campaign down the road?

As long as the mission editor is not affected the new Instant Action Generator seems nice. Though I would like to emphasize the mission editor shouldn't be neglected in the future.

Yes, I feel the same way. I just don't have the Christen Eagle in my hangar, otherwise I have everything that DCS has to offer. There's nothing I could or would want to buy right now. But summer 2024 was pretty rich in content. We have the F-4, we have the OH-58, we have Kola and we have the CH-47F. And Afghanistan, a damn good map by the way, is also available. But it's true... when it comes to evaluating us buyers... yes, we want new content all the time. If it were up to me, ED would of course have to add the F6F immediately. And the MiG-29 is of course a probable "must have" for everyone here. On a pretty serious note, though. Progress on the F-16 updates has become so slow that you have to seriously ask yourself whether we will even see the promised Quality of Life updates in the foreseeable future. The emphasis here should be on "ever". The emphasis should be right on these issues...on the F-16. I was, and you can certainly see this in the bug report section for quite a while, someone who only flew the F-16 in DCS. We currently have so many problems with the F-16 that I have switched to other modules. The F-16 is an ED flagship. What is currently going on here is definitely not okay. The DCS F-16 deserves better - much better...so, dear ED team, make sure that the F-16 reaches roughly the level of the F/A-18C / A-10C II. Then we will all be happy and see things differently. Best wishes & have a nice weekend.

На скриншоте классная текстура у Ми-24П. Будет ли она в официальном скинпаке?
