With the upcoming release of DCS: Supercarrier later in May 2020, we offer the unscripted video instruction of creating a mission using DCS: Supercarrier.

After purchasing DCS: Supercarrier, you may have questions of how to install it, select a mission to fly from it, and takeoff in your first experience. This Quick Start video is designed to walk you through those first steps into virtual combat naval aviation.

We know that most of our modules have steep learning curves. Aircraft such as the MiG-15 Fagot, F-86F Sabre, F-5E Tiger II and the L-39 Albatros can bridge the gap. During the event, we encourage you to spend time gaining knowledge and expertise. Don’t forget that if you really like one of our products, you will benefit from a 50% discount until from the 13th of May till the 27th of May, should you wish to make a purchase.




This week we have been focussing with our external Beta Test friends on debugging multiplayer components for large servers, tuning the Landing Signal Officer station, revising AI landing behaviour, as well as enhancing final model textures and deck lighting.

The Raytheon AN/APG-73 radar is also used to map, navigate, locate and designate moving land and sea targets. Our initial AG radar release will include the Ground Map (MAP) mode with target designation. The EXP sub-modes will be added at a later date.

Thank you for your passion and support,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

A similar, slightly more limited but nevertheless substantial event is available. Fly the F/A-18C Hornet, F-16C Viper, A-10C Warthog, F-5E Tiger II, Persian Gulf Map and all DCS World War II products for free during a two-week period from April 19th to May 3rd. Between the 13th and 27th of May, a 50% discount on all DCS World Steam products will be available.

The undercarriage is being tuned for accurate ground-steering. The engine cooling, exhaust systems and turbocharger are in final testing.

External model
Much of the final detailing has been done to finish the aircraft exterior. The forward section of the cockpit has been seriously revised and those changes are quite visible in the screenshots.

Cockpit night lighting
The instrument luminescence decay after UV light was implemented for all cockpit indicators and cockpit markings.

We are excited to offer this exceptional free for all trial period. The intricacies of these aircraft can be challenging and some of these modules require a substantial investment to get to grips with all the complexities of a real modern fighter. So make sure to check out YouTube tutorials and in-game training missions.





Avionics
