DCS World Update
Last week we released DCS World Open Beta version 2.5.3.2115. Unfortunately, as an open beta, it introduced a crash when using module maps and some VR-related issues. This week we addressed these issues in the Open Beta; however, we will be unable to move this Open Beta version to the Release version this week. Today’s Release version update will correct the AGM-65E crash.

Thank you for your patience.

DCS: P-51D Mustang Update
The Mustang was our first World War II aircraft and was pivotal in laying the ground work for our later warbirds. Since its initial release though, our graphic technologies have greatly improved, and the Mustang is starting to show its age. As with other DCS World aircraft, we are dramatically improving both the cockpit and external model of the Mustang. Both will use Physical Based Rendering (PBR) and Deferred Lighting (DF) to radically improve the aesthetics of this iconic DCS warbird. This will be a FREE update to Mustang owners!

Today we have some work-in-progress images of the updated cockpit.



DCS: NS 430 Navigation and Radio System Available on Steam
Purchase on the https://store.steampowered.com/app/933980/DCS_NS_430_Navigation_System/

The NS 430 GPS navigation system, is an optional add-on module for most DCS World aircraft. It provides powerful, yet intuitive, navigation and radio communications options to supplement the navigation and radio systems already integrated into your aircraft. The NS 430 is particularly useful for older aircraft with less sophisticated navigation and communication systems.

The passion and love of aviation comes right from the top here at Eagle Dynamics, enjoy this peek of Nick Grey, owner of Eagle Dynamics, having some fun showing off the mighty Sea Fury!

The NS 430 GPS navigation system, is an optional add-on module for most DCS World aircraft. It provides powerful, yet intuitive, navigation and radio communications options to supplement the navigation and radio systems already integrated into your aircraft. The NS 430 is particularly useful for older aircraft with less sophisticated navigation and communication systems.

This module provides ability to display the NS 430 as a pop-up window in almost all aircraft (except for those that have their own advanced navigation systems like the A-10C, Ka-50 and F/A-18C).

The NS 430 is also included as an integrated 3D cockpit panel for the DCS: Mi-8MTV2 and DCS: L-39 Albatros.

The NS 430 was introduced in 1997 and quickly became aviation's most popular GPS. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability was added in 2006. The sharp, clear display and intuitive button layout of the NS 430 made it the standard for general aviation around the world.
The DCS NS 430 includes:

• Dozens of user interface screens
• Chapter and Page layout functionality
• Moving map capability
• Serves as both a communications radio, navigation radio, and GPS receiver
• Concentric knobs are used to navigate the various pages, scroll through data, and enter information
• Options to configure to displays based on user preference
• The device supports navigation on next maps: Caucasus, Nevada, Normandy 1944 and Persian Gulf

* Fixed crash at start mission in the Persian Gulf and Normandy.
* Fixed issue of Oculus Rift with Asynchronous Spacewarp mode.
* Added Helicopters Ops mission dedicated to start of sales the Helicopters bundle (Ka-50, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, SA342)

For one of the next updates, correct Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) affect will be included. Now in the internal test version, selection of High or Medium PRF will be a significant impact on target detection.

• High (HI) PRF will be able to detect targets at longer ranges, but must have a good Vc.
  
  
• Medium (MED) PRF will be better at detecting targets at low Vc values (receding to abeam).
  
  
• The Interleave (INTL) mode will alternate HI and MED bars in the scan.

In addition to antenna elevation, beam shape, azimuth, and range, this will be another important factor to consider when searching for targets on the radar.

Some other priority items in the cue:

1- AIM-7MH Home On Jam (HOJ) mode
2- A/A Bullseye on radar page indications
3- Radar BRA indication
4- Auto range scale adjustment
5- HARM
6- GBU-10/16/12
7- FPAS page
8- JHMCS
9- Correct radar lock loss and RTS
10- LTWS

Thanks!

DCS: Mi-8MTV2 and Ka-50: Memory of a Hero Campaign
The Memory of a Hero campaign follows the story of helicopter pilot Sergey Pavlovich Borisov. Being an honored sniper and research helicopter pilot and a hero of the Soviet Union and Russia, this campaign explores his experiences in the Mi-8MTV2 and the Ka-50 Black Shark. The campaign is full of danger and exciting moments as you relive some of his more harrowing experiences!



Download from here

The campaign consists of more than 16 missions that include:

• Work for a large Siberian transport airline
  
• Transport workers and repair crews to oil deposits
  
• Take part in the Abkhaz-Georgian war of 1993 while flying the then-secret Ka-50 attack helicopter
  
• Participate in intelligence gathering activities over Georgian territory prior to the conflict in South Ossetia. Do so in concert with the help of special FSS equipment and direct support from the Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS)
  
• Perform Ka-50 counter-terror operations in the southern Caucasus region and along the Georgian border
  
• Take part in rescue operations over the Black Sea in an Mi-8MTV2
  The action is told through a gripping story narrative with an original soundtrack by The Last Haven.

This campaign requires ownership of DCS: Black Shark 2 and DCS: Mi-8MTV2.


World War II Assets Update
In addition to the new aircraft we recently discussed, we continue to add new ground units. The next will be the Sturmgeschütz (Stug) III. The Stug III was a German assault gun and the second most produced German armor vehicle of the Second World War. Designed as an infantry support weapon with a 7.5 cm L/48 gun, it was built on the Panzer III chassis, but was also used as a tank destroyer.



Sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team
