Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

Let us pause to honour the men and women who fought so valiantly for our freedoms on this important day. The 8th of May marks Victory in Europe 80 years ago, and the end of the Second World War on the continent. We remember this day not only for the incredible human sacrifice but also for their genius and technological ingenuity that helped create some of the most iconic machines ever to grace the air.

The latest DCS update is only for campaigns, and it contains fixes and enhancements for various campaigns by Reflected Simulations and Baltic Dragon. Please read the details below. 

The Cold War sale is coming to a close, and we truly hope you have been able to take advantage of these huge savings. If you have not, please do visit our E-Shop for some last minute deals. Hurry! The sale ends on the 12th of May at 15:00 GMT. 

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely, 

Eagle Dynamics

 

Victory Day

VE Day Celebration in Europe

This week we recount the epic sight of Mustangs escorting bombers across the Rhine and P-47s at treetop level supporting ground forces. Allied combat aviation played a decisive role in hastening the peace in Europe. DCS warbirds such as the P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk IX, Mosquito FB IV, P‑47D Thunderbolt, Bf 109 K‑4, and Fw 190A and D battled each other in those final months to support their own forces and engage in the last, great dogfights over Europe. It is with great pride and honour that we are able to preserve them in DCS and in some way to relive this pivotal chapter in history. 

In memory of the machines, and the men and women who designed, built, maintained, and flew them, please join us in remembrance. Take to the DCS skies, and reflect on the real crews who placed their lives on the line. Their legacy lives on in every virtual mission you fly.

 

DCS Campaigns

Hotfix rollup update 2.9.15

This week’s patch is dedicated to updating several single‑player campaigns. Four of Reflected Simulations’ most popular campaigns received updates: Fear the Bones and Speed & Angels now display Tomcatter87’s corrected tanker skins, and both F‑4E campaigns add an automatic “flaps‑down” safety trigger. Progressive wear‑and‑tear and typo clean‑ups in Red Flag 81‑2 was included, and the F-16C Arctic Thunder campaign has been tuned with blue‑side airfields throughout.

Baltic Dragon delivers quality‑of‑life fixes; Raven One: Dominant Fury sees its Knight I‑R prompt restored; The Enemy Within 3.0 AI‑helicopter landing logic and debrief music is fixed. The  Rampagers campaign received a comprehensive review of deck winds, scoring, tanker cues, subtitle timing, and livery accuracy across nine missions.

Badger633 has added a Data Transfer Cartridge notes to every Operation  Green  Line mission, and missions 1 to 7 and 9 to 13 in the Rise  of  the  Persian  Lion 2 campaign. Finally, SorelRo’s Hormuz  Freedom swaps in Heatblur’s new F‑4E for the IRIAF, refreshes voice‑overs, and improves AI trigger logic. 

Please download the update to enjoy all these important changes. For a list of all changes, read the full changelog.

DCS did an amazing job on the L-39. I have a little bit of real-world seat time in the back of an L-39, and being in the back seat of the DCS version feels just like the real thing, at least to me.
