Welcome to our first installment of Tutorial Tuesdays. For this first one I thought we would go back to the beginning, and take on the Ka-50 Black Shark. One of the most popular modules in DCS World is only getting better with updates to cockpit textures being done to bring it on par with the newest modules available now.

For these tutorials we will tap the Grim Reapers, if you haven't checked them out yet, I suggest you take a look at their YouTube channel, the have many DCS World videos from tutorials to just how to relax and have fun.
For the Ka-50, they have 20 tutorial videos for you to get you up and flying fast. They are very complete tutorials start from control setup to weapons employment.

DCS: MiG-19 Farmer by RAZBAM Simulations Ready for Takeoff!
Download now from DCS e-shop

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

The MiG-19P will initially be available on Open Beta.

The MiG-19P Farmer was designed by the legendary Mikoyan Design Bureau in the Early 1950’s and was the Soviet Union’s first true supersonic interceptor that could exceed Mach 1 in level flight.

Designed to take on enemy fighters and bombers at any time of day or night and in any weather condition, the Farmer was equipped with the RP-5 lzumrud radar in the nose and armed with two NR-30 30mm cannons in the wing roots. The Farmer is also able to carry an array of ground attack weapons that include S-5M rockets and various general-purpose bombs. It is a lethal interceptor with conventional ground attack capabilities.

We are proud to bring you this exciting addition to DCS World. The Farmer is highly-optimized to work within DCS World and takes advantage of its unrivalled combat environment that only Eagle Dynamics can offer.



Key Features that the MiG-19 Farmer for DCS World by RAZBAM include:

• The flight model provides realistic performance and flight
  
• characteristics. The flight model will see further refinements in coming weeks and months
  
• Highly detailed 3D model and animations
  
• Highly detailed and accurate 6 DOF cockpit with mouse-interactive controls.
  
• Realistic modelling of the aircraft systems including electrical, fuel, hydraulics, lighting, engine and navigation
  
• High-resolution 3D model and cockpit textures, including specular and bump mapping as well as deferred shading and Physical Based Rendering (PBR)
  
• NR-23 30mm Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground cannons
  
• Air-to-Air missiles
  
• S-5M Rocket pods
  
• Realistic afterburner
  
• Numerous skins
  
• Instant action, single, and a campaign
  
• Interactive training lessons and videos

At long last the DCS World Dedicated Server is available to all! In our quest to greatly improve the DCS World online experience, this is a cornerstone element and will play a pivotal role as DCS World Online moves forward. The Dedicated Server is available to anyone that wishes to run one.



Features of the Dedicated Server include:

• Run a server without the need of a render. This allows a server to need less RAM and only a very simple video card.
  
• The CPU processor load is lower, so you can use a less-powerful CPUs or run more complicated missions instead.
  
• You can run multiple copies of a Dedicated Server on one PC. Computer capabilities can be used more fully when you start servers in different CPU threads.
  
• A Dedicated Server can be controlled remotely via WebGUI.

Although we have tested extensively internally and with several community servers, there may be non-official scripts that will not function well with a Dedicated Server. We ask that you report such issues and/or avoid using non-supported scripts.

The Combined Arms: Frontlines Georgia campaign is the first all Combined Arms single player campaign. In this campaign you will experience many different aspects of Combined Arms combat in DCS World, from commanding many units over a number of different objectives to sitting in a tank and commanding a platoon of tanks from the driver's seat.

Hey everyone,

It’s long, long overdue, but I’ve finally put together a little synopsis of my trip to our Moscow and Minsk studios last year. I hope you enjoy this little read and look.

Please find attached .PDF.

Two new weapons coming to the Hornet later in early access are the GBU-24 Paveway III and GBU-32 JDAM. Here are some images of the new models.

For the keen-eyed, you may notice varients in thermal protection and fuzes.

Dear pilots,

With the DCS: MiG-19P Farmer by RAZBAM Simulations to be released this Friday, 1 March 2019, we will be shifting our Open Beta release to Friday this week instead of the usual Wednesday. A benefit of this is that we’ll now have time to also release an eagerly awaited new Eagle Dynamics feature! Let the speculation run wild!

Sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

Hey everyone,

A little update of what to expect coming up:

After the datalink, SA page, and TOO mode for HARM this week, we then plan Latent Track While Scan (LTWS), JDAM, Aircraft/Mission Card, and some bugs fixes for the 13 March Open Beta. This is an estimate and not a promise.

As has been mentioned before, the engineer assigned to the HARM is also assigned to the targeting pod. So, once HARM is done (PB and pullback modes), he will work on the TGP. Also, in the very near future, we plan to revisit the Hornet flight model, the JDAM flight model (INS-GPS autopilot), and other weapon Launch Acceptable Region (LAR) profiles.
