This week, one of our milestones was to deploy an update to the World War II Assets Pack for DCS World. The enhanced assets pack delivers more weapons, AI aircraft, support units, armoured cars and tank busters.

Predict German plans and respond to threats coming from the Channel. This improvement takes advantage of our latest textures and AI weapon technology to provide highly realistic representations of previous WWII operations.

The DCS: WWII Assets Pack is also available as part of the Free For All event.

New units
Ju 88A-4 - torpedo bomber aircraft
A-20 - medium bomber aircraft
Stug III - assault gun
M10 - tank destroyer
Mk VIII Centaur IV - cruiser tank
Elefant - heavy tank destroyer
Mk IV Churchill VII - infantry tank
M8 Greyhound - armored car

Introducing TrueGrit Virtual Technologies



We are thrilled to announce that the Eurofighter Typhoon is on its way to DCS World!

To bring this advanced fighter to DCS, a brand new company, TrueGrit Virtual Technologies has been founded specifically for the challenge. The TrueGrit development team is led by Gero Finke, a highly experienced former Typhoon Instructor Pilot with 15 years experience on type and an additional 10 years as a weapons instructor on the mighty F-4 Phantom – a total of 3’000 hours of military jet flying. Gero was station commander at one of the world’s most famous fighter bases of all time, the 71st Tactical Fighter Wing at Wittmundhaven, Germany, formally known as the Red Baron´s legendary “Jagdgeschwader Richthofen” and Squadron Commander at Jagdgeschwader 73, Steinhoff. Today, Gero’s dev team has substantial programming and design experience. This professionalism combined with Gero’s exceptional active-duty and operational knowledge is very promising for DCS and the future of this exciting new module.

Their 3D designer has a background working with Airbus, Grob, Eurocopter, Luftwaffe and also with Heatblur on their DCS: F-14 project.

The lead coder has had substantial experience with various simulator projects, both in the air and ground combat realm. Two other coders with Ph.D.’s in physics and mathematics will lead the programming of the Typhoon’s extremely complex flight model.

In addition to Gero’s personal input and contribution to this highly detailed simulation, the team has excellent access to a number of Subject Matter Experts such as former instructor pilots, weapon instructors and maintenance personnel.

Their team size stands at 15 today but they are always on the lookout for experienced coders to continue to grow. See more development screenshots below.

Thank you all again for your support and passion.

Yours sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

SIGN-UP CLOSES APRIL 30TH 2020

The schedule
Matches can be found at The Merge on Splash One Gaming. All matches are currently set to start at 14:00 GMT on Saturdays of each week.

DCS World Events
In conjunction with Eagle Dynamics, Wild Weasel Apparel, and Tacview are proud to announce SATAL 2020. Whereas SATAC is an intense 2-3 week championship.

SATAL creates a structured league that concludes in a single-elimination tournament. SATAL will be more of a slow burn year-round competition. After all the excitement from last year, this is Squadron Air to Air leagues year two.

All streams will take place on DCSWorldEvents Twitch channel. After-action replays and highlights are available on Youtube.

Prizes and Sponsors
Will be announced soon.

Buy your favorite aircraft in the Stay At Home Event, join a squadron and get into the action in SATAL yourself!




We are proud to announce the backbone of the Luftwaffe is moving out of Early Access. Over the past year, we’ve been working closely with the community to iron out bugs and create a list of sought after features.

Engine
The start-up procedure steps have been precisely tuned to take into account hot and cold weather conditions that require different priming techniques.

Weapons
Over 10 different World War II bombs including SD 500s and 3 types of cluster bombs with different submunitions, which have been modelled to accurately represent attack capabilities. Additionally, W.Gr.21 rockets add the possibility for proper B-17 Flying fortress hunting.

Sound
The entire soundscape has been improved. Our sound engineers recorded real aircraft throughout the year to bring you the most accurate representation of fly-by, in cockpit, and engine start-up sounds available in any aircraft simulator.

Liveries
A number of new skins have been added. This gives more flexibility when operating under different coalitions and inspiration for you to create your own.

A lot of bugs were fixed and new features added to the aircraft module; Major updates for cooling and oil systems. A jettisoned canopy can be repaired on the ground. The cockpit has proper lighting now. The circuit breakers and electricity consuming devices were improved for realistic behaviour. The repeater compass was fixed. The armored glass colour was changed according to real glass from the museum and the information from Erich Brunotte. The training missions were completely overhauled into more digestible chunks. See the full changelog.

With the Wulf finally out of early access, we look forward to further improvements. Making the aircraft even more complex with the F-8 attack and G-8 light bomber variations.




Last month we spent a lot of time on AIM-120 missile CFD research, in addition to our previous computation (which was primarily aimed at deriving accurate zero-lift drag).

We have obtained many other aerodynamic parameters such as pitching moment and normal force coefficients, damping moments etc. To ensure realistic maneuverability, plausible control and stability characteristics we performed more than 200 virtual wind tunnel tests at different control fin deflections and various Mach numbers and angles of attack. Below you can see screenshots from our software with computation result visualization.

Flight dynamics for AMRAAM are almost done and we will move on to autopilot development.




We make sure you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding our work in progress, as always.

Yours sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

DCS Mirage 2000c by RAZBAM
Added Head to VR Pilot's Shadow

Keybinds:

Radar HOTAS "TDC CENTER" changed to "TDC DEPRESS (Lock Target)". Its unique function is to lock AA targets
Radar HOTAS "STT/TWS Toggle (Target Lock)" changed to "STT/TWS Toggle"
With a locked AA target: toggles between STT/TWS tracking modes (same as before)
With the radar on SCAN and no locked AA target, it selects the default lock mode for AA targets: STT or TWS. The default lock mode can be overridden by the toggle switch but upon target unlock will go back to its default
Guns default firing mode: TOT and PAR either in AA or CAS. Mode will reset to default when deselecting the weapon
Rockets default firing mode: TOT. Mode will reset to default when deselecting the weapon
S530D Salvo mode is disabled
Default switches position when starting in the air:
Radar Altimeter is active (Switches in M and H respectively)

Display Changes:

S530D SVI Brackets have been deleted. They do not exist in the M-2000C
S530D G and D are now circled all the time. They indicate that the missile seeker head is locked on the target
Radar TDC is now available in SIL and EM modes
TWS/STT (PID/PIC) lock mode legend is now visible at all times in both SIL and EM modes. It indicates the radar default lock mode (with no locked target) or the current target lock mode
CCRP Target cross "+" has been deleted. This is a M-2000D feature only
