Dear Customers,

Today we release the Open Beta 2.5.6.55363 with several high priority issues for the Hornet AIM-9 family which were discovered yesterday. However, I decided to release this OB because it delivers significant changes made by our partners to the aircraft that are very important for you and we prepared new features for Hornet and Viper.

The issues will be fixed and updated during the coming week.

Sincerely,
Kate Perederko
Chief Operating Officer

We will be introducing two expansions to DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt. The P-47D-30 (Early) modification will become available; equipped with a Mark 8 gunsight, an earlier version of the control stick and throttle lever, as well as modified bomb dropping mechanics. From the exterior, the model is easily distinguishable due to the absence of the fin strake in the upper fuselage.

Our second modification is the P-47D-40 with rocket capabilities. These rockets are the familiar HVARs and the M8 rockets, both used extensively by the Allies in large numbers during World War II. The aircraft bombing loadouts have also been expanded.

Coming soon: integration of water methanol injection, improved engine damage modelling, and compressibility recovery using underwing dive flaps.

F-16C Viper

Most notably, we are working on the HARM and Maverick missile systems and look forward to sharing more information with the next 2.5.6 Open Beta update.

Watch DCS: F-16C Viper - AGM-65 Maverick Basics.


Thank you again for your passion and support,

Eagle Dynamics Team

We will be hosting a 24-hour DCS livestream on the Tactical Pascale’s Youtube Channel to raise money for Mind, a UK-based mental health charity who work directly with those suffering.

A team of committed virtual pilots from our community will be flying in DCS World for a full 24 hours, only pausing to host livestream events like Giveaways, Competitions, and live community challenges. There will be live training sessions, and we'll be playing the latest homemade “Arabian Nights” campaign mission that includes a 3-hour operation with real-player ATC, GCI, mission commanders, and 30 virtual pilots.






As we prepare for the release of DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer by the end of this month, we are carefully checking the Flight Model’s buffet and stall implementation, instantaneous turn rate, sustained turn rate, and maximum speed at different altitudes. These checks enable measured parameters to match the flight manual charts with a precision to within 3%.

We found that buffeting affects the airframe at a lower AoA than is stated in the manual, this affected aircraft handling during deliberate stalling. We are working on this issue, which will result in a significant improvement to overall aircraft behavior in this phase of flight.

In parallel, many of the new systems are now functional including laser-Maverick, APKWS, and the GBU-54 LJDAM. Work continues on the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) and associated HOTAS commands and updating the cockpit and external art.






This week we fixed an issue with A/G radar heading figures overlapping when switching from Map to EXP1-2-3. Other strange behavior when switching between A/G radar EXP modes and A/A radar has now been resolved.

When Unlimited weapons mode is activated, the salvo / ripple replenishment levels now display correctly. Threat circles on SA page now show even if the threat Icon is not visible. The SAM threat rings draw order on the SA page has been fixed. Swapping HSI/SA on left and right MDI now functions correctly.

A fuel transfer issue from external tanks has now been fixed. Radio volume issues and the COMM AM/FM change on the UFC have been fixed.

The ‘Throttle - HOTAS Warthog’ and ‘VPC WarBRD + MT50’ now have updated presets.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

With kind regards,

Eagle Dynamics Team

We are doing our best to meet your highest expectations and intensive internal and external beta-testing is underway. Currently we are working on improvements to new weaponry (APKWS, laser-guided Mavericks and bombs). We are also working hard on all current bugs with scheduled fixes coming in further updates.






Most importantly a long awaited update to the cockpit mesh was finalised, which substantially improved the precision of cockpit geometry. This will be particularly appreciated by VR users.

Visual improvements were followed by a new Flight Model as well as Avionics and Weapon System enhancements such as the recalibration of all the instruments. Significant ground clutter causes performance degradation when the RP-22SMA radar is used in low level flight, this has yet to be resolved. Small corrections to the lift coefficient at lower Mach numbers were made. Structural damage caused by exceeding G-load limits is now dynamically calculated depending on aircraft weight.



The addition of navigation data for DCS: Syria has been added, as well as a number of new missions. An overhaul of almost all air-to-air missiles is also in progress.

We are experimenting with a more realistic rendering technology for the ASP gunsight and RP-22SMA radar. Magnitude 3 has expanded the Leatherneck Simulation team who are now working on DCS: MIG-21bis, and two other projects...






A new crew campaign from Stone Sky is available for DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight. Set in the extremes of Northern Russia, this campaign will test your skills at all stages of flight.

Experience the immersive atmosphere of the arctic on Bolshevik Island in the Caucasus where the Mi-8 helicopter is still a demanded transportation mode. Your base is situated at the Solnechnaya Polar Station refinery complex, within the territory Severnaya Zemlya.

Complete day and night time exercises still in use by the Russian Army aviation. Destroy ground targets in combat training flights and lead combat missions, which require perfect management to enable a safe return to base.

Voiced radio messages in English and Russian give an insight into the civil aviation work carried out in Arctic Russia. Your adventure awaits!

This campaign requires knowledge of navigation equipment, avionics and helicopter control.

Thank you again for your passion and support,
