In the next update for our Hornet, we are making some changes to rockets and cluster bombs:

1- Rockets pods can now be set to Single (S) release setting in the Mission Editor, via the additional properties tab in the loadout window. Note that on the SMS page, S denotes single release and R denotes ripple release. This is different than the SMS page Single (one pod fires at a time) and Salvo (all pods fire at the same time) settings.

2- CBU-99 and Mk-20 cluster bombs can now have their MFUZ set to VT. Once set to VT, the HT (height) setting allows variable canister burst altitude. CBU-99 and Mk-20 are basically the same weapon, just different dispensers (same number of MK118 MOD 0 bomblets). CBU-99 uses the SUU-75/B dispenser and the Mk-20 uses the SUU-76B/B dispenser.

• Added new USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier
  
• Implemented initial version of video memory manager
  
• Added new OFFLINE mode
  
• Added China Pack

You can read the complete, lengthy change log in the dedicated thread
Next week will bring an update that includes many additions and improvements to our Hornet.

DCS: Black Shark 2 – 2018 Trailer
In 2011 we released DCS: Black Shark 2, which is still the most authentic simulation of the Russian Ka-50 attack helicopter. Seven years later, the Ka-50 is still one of the most fun and exciting aircraft to fly in DCS World. With the graphical and updated world (like the new tree system and grass) that DCS World 2.5 brings, the Ka-50 is better than ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-sjo_K7Pg

To highlight just how great the Ka-50 is to fly in DCS World 2.5, we’ve created an updated trailer video. Later this year, we’ll also be updating the Ka-50 cockpit (and A-10C!) to use our very latest graphic technologies.

F/A-18C Pilot Explains How to Land on a Carrier in DCS World



Former F/A-18C Hornet pilot Lex Talionis talks about his experience flying and landing a Hornet in DCS World, and he shares his thoughts on PC flight simulations, virtual reality, and being a real Hornet pilot.

https://youtu.be/CZ-sjo_K7Pg

DCS World has greatly improved since DCS: Black Shark 2 was originally released, and we thought it time to create a new Black Shark 2 trailer that places the Ka-50 in this new environment. We are also working improvements to the Ka-50 to add new graphical effects and rendering technologies.

We are adding two, new airbases to the Persian Gulf Map – Shiraz International Airport (330 nm to Al Dhafra) and Kerman International Airport (380 nm to Al Dhafra). Both airfields have military ramps and facilities.

With the addition of these two airfields, it makes the Persian Gulf map about the same size as the Caucasus map (measured as distance between airfields). Both new bases provide many parking locations to support large missions (large and small aircraft). We think having these two large bases far inland will provide many more mission possibilities for both single- and multi-player.

Today, we have a few work-in-progress images around Kerman International Airport.

Once these are complete, we plan to add additional airfields and landmarks across the map.

These bases will serve as ideal home to many DCS World aircraft like the F-5E, Flaming Cliffs 3 Su-25 and MiG-29, Mi-8MTV2, and UH-1H. Get these and many other modules at 50% off until 5 July 2018 at:

We are at the point now that we are quite happy with the vaps coming of the Hornet LEX. So, we are now shifting our effect focus to the over-wing vaps. These are less commonly seen than LEX and wingtip vaps, and only really happen in very humid conditions (particularly at low altitude near/over the water). Today we have a very early look at these. As with the LEX vaps, these will be tuned and improved.

As mentioned, humidity plays a huge factor in the generation of vaps coming off the aircraft… wingtips, LEX, over-wing, and even the Mach cone (yes, planned for later). To model this properly, our current efforts to improve the weather system of DCS World current lays with adding a new humidity function.

We plan to move these vap effects to all our aircraft, not just the Hornet! Speaking of all of our aircraft, now is a great time to fill out your DCS World library. Between now and 4 July 2018, get 50% off on most DCS World modules!

With the launch for DCS World 2.5, there has never been a better time to fly a new aircraft, operate over a new map, or experience a new campaign.

DCS World Open Beta Update 5
This week we released another update to the Open Beta, with the primary focus being the Hornet and DCS World 2.5 foundation improvements. Once we are confident in the stability of the Hornet and the DCS World Open Beta, we will move both of these, and the Persian Gulf Map, to the release version of DCS World and DCS World Steam Edition.

Some highlights of this week’s update includes:

• DCS World 2.5 Open Beta
  
• Map ownership indication in Multiplayer to clients
  
• Adjusted Night Vision Goggles
  
• Corrected several radar warning receiver indications
  
• Corrected subtitles display issues
  
• Restored flood lights for A-10C

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet

• Updated radio modulation selection
  
• Added basic Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) indications
  
• Afterburner for carrier takeoff is set to on by default now
  
• Can now remove pylons while in a mission using re-arm menu
  
• Corrected selective store jettison

DCS: M-2000C: Red Flag Campaign by Baltic Dragon



The M-2000C Red Flag Campaign is a story-driven campaign that takes place during an extraordinary Red Flag exercise at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). The campaign backstory revolves around growing hostilities between Iran and its neighbors and a partially successful coup that takes place in the United Arab Emirates, effectively splitting the country in two.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsbTWaaCK0g

You will take on the role of a deputy commander of a 10-ship strong detachment of M-2000C interceptors from the 02.005 Fighter Squadron "Île-de-France". In preparation for war in the Persian Gulf, your detachment, and those from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland and the Netherlands, will spend two weeks at the NTTR to hone your skills.
All of the missions are based on extensive research of actual Red Flag exercises and will each include interesting facts and stories from previous runnings of the exercise.

Features:

• 16 story-driven missions
  
• Over 3,000 voiceovers performed by more than 40 voice actors
  
• Returning characters from the M-2000C Caucasus campaign
  
• Highly detailed mission briefings, maps, and other documents that includes Air Tasking Orders and Data Sheets based on actual counterparts use by the US and French Air Forces
  
• Many of interesting background facts and stories from past Red Flag exercises
  
• Preparation for upcoming DCS campaigns in the Persian Gulf

This campaign requires ownership of DCS: M-2000C, along with the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map.

DCS World and Captoglove
This past week we were delighted to help show off Captoglove at the E3 2018 show. Captoglove offers what we believe will be the next step in cockpit interaction by allowing the player to interact with the cockpit with their actual hands!

Hey everyone,

In addition to the nice update this week, the team is working furiously on many other items to get the Hornet foundation solid by the end of the month. Here are some items already resolved internally that will be pushed soon to an update:

• Unable to select AG weapons after first selecting AIM-7.
  
• Canister munitions (MK-20 and CBU-99) are now much more accurate. Note that you’ll need to set the MFUZ to VT. You can then set a Height Of Burst (HOB) using the HT function on the SMS page.
  
• Overwing vaps have been added, but need to be tuned!
  
• Time to lock for the ACM modes is much faster now.
  
• You can now disconnect from the shuttle.
  
• Adjusted flaps control bindings for TM HOTAS as a special item.
  
• Support for export of DDIs.
