‘A-10C Shturmovik’ 11th mission fixed, targets can be destroyed more easy
‘Mi-8MTV2 Oilfield’: fixed bug with crashing of cargoes

**Yes, the version number on the menu is not displaying correctly in Steam still.

In August we plan to bring the AIM-120 and AIM-9X to DCS: F/A-18C! As you can see, the Hornet can carry a lot of hurt.

One of the unique maneuvers of the Hornet is called the pirouette. This is high AoA maneuver that allows the pilot to reposition the nose laterally at very low speeds. It can be very handy in a low speed, high-alpha fight. Here is a little video of how to pull it off.

- Greater than 45 degrees angle of attack
- Full lateral stick and rudder in the same direction

The legacy Hornet uses no special “mode” for this maneuver, but the Super Hornet does.

NS430 Navigation System added in Flat mode to all DCS aircraft (excluding A-10C, F/A-18C and Ka-50)
NS430 Navigation System integrated into L-39 3D cockpit

Steam Users, version number is still not working correctly, so still reports as 2.5.2.0. Sorry for the confusion.

NS 430 Update
In addition to the NS 430 GPS navigation and communication system being available as cockpit instrument for the Mi-8MTV2, we are now offering it as a cockpit instrument for the L-39 and as a 2D, mouse-interactive Pop-Op Window for most other aircraft. The 2D Pop-Up Window (not currently VR compatible) is available for all aircraft that don't already have a modern navigation and communication system. This allows you to use the NS 430 for many aircraft like all the World War II aircraft, Korean War era aircraft, Flaming Cliffs/MAC aircraft, and others.

Not currently avaialble on Steam.

As a special bonus to current owners of the NS 430 for the Mi-8MTV2, we are offering you the Pop-Up Window version for free!




Persian Gulf Map for DCS World Update
This week we launched our first major update to the Persian Gulf map! In addition to adding the large Iranian airbases of Shiraz and Kerman, it also greatly expands the map with a larger detailed area with higher resolution elevation and textures. Further, many new towns and cities have been added, the Gate Hotel in Dubai, as well as an expanded road and rail network in Iran.
