The DCS World Dynamic Campaign Engine combines a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) engine with military forces and economics layers (production, logistics, use and transfer of resources) that pitch two opposing sides aided by advanced strategic and tactical AI.

We have now completed the core RTS logic and have connected it to DCS World. We are currently finalising the basics of the in-game economic models. We will be working on the combat tasking logic and certain win-win situations in the near future. The last stage will be the Client - Server architecture needed to support large campaigns with on-going online sessions.

We are certain that you will have many detailed questions and look forward to revealing more information on this module as and when we are in position to demonstrate some of the features live.






‘We at TrueGrit Virtual Technologies would like to take this chance to give you some latest updates concerning the Eurofighter Typhoon Development. It is with great pride that we can officially announce a collaboration with Diehl Defence GmbH.

Diehl Defence GmbH is located in Überlingen, Germany and is the manufacturer of the sophisticated IRIS-T missile. They are offering us full support in bringing the most realistic version of the IRIS-T to DCS World – as always within the limits of what can be released to a public platform like DCS. It will be available to you with the initial launch of the German Eurofighter Typhoon Version and will be your main heat seeking missile. With this collaboration we have come one step closer to bringing you the most realistic experience of the Eurofighter Typhoon possible.

We are working at full throttle on all areas of the project and are making good progress. The progress picture by the almighty Fragger shows the latest version of the cockpit.

We would like to thank you for your unwavering support and enthusiasm, as it is a constant reminder of what we are working towards and motivates us to give our best. You can be sure that every post, comment and feedback reaches us and is very appreciated. ‘

- True Grit Virtual Technologies






The P-47 proved to be a formidable fighter-bomber due to its armament, heavy bomb load and ability to absorb enemy fire. The P-47's durability was due in part to its exceptionally dependable P&W R2800 radial piston engine, which unlike comparable liquid-cooled engines, had a high tolerance for damage. P-47 pilots frequently carried two 500 lb (227 kg) bombs, using a favoured skip bombing tactic, skipping bombs into railroad tunnels to destroy hidden enemy trains.

We are currently working on the bomb arming controls and detonation set-up adjustments. We are also working on the D-30 early and D-40 variants. Both versions include new modifications and improved damage modelling. These updates will be available in the up-coming DCS World Open Beta (OB) updates.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Kind regards,

Hunters Over the Yalu Campaign for the F-86

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1357330/DCS_F86F_Sabre_Hunters_Over_the_Yalu_Campaign/?curator_clanid=4471395

It's early 1953. After completing several tours in WWII, you're yet again putting your neck on the line by flying dangerous combat missions over North Korea. Command the 67th Fighter Bomber Squadron, attack enemy bridges, factories, strafe supply columns, and support the US troops as they fight their fierce battles on the ground. Survive the heavy flak and fighter attacks, then transfer to the legendary 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron to carry out large fighter sweeps in MIG Alley over the Yalu river, and tangle with massive bandit trains in the stratosphere. Watch out for the honchos, they say Casey Jones is back in business!

The Serpents Head 2 Campaign for the F/A-18C

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1347090/DCS_FA18C_Hornet__The_Serpents_Head_2_Campaign/?curator_clanid=4471395

The “Serpent's Head 2” is a 10 Mission Campaign for the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet. It comprises the next chapter of the 6 Mission “Serpent's Head” Campaign.

As before, it is a story-based campaign following the exploits of “Ford”. He is currently still stationed on the USS John C. Stennis, the heart of the Task Force. In the last campaign they had been sent to the Black sea to address a regional conflict. In this new Campaign, his flying skills and effective operation of the Hornet's weapons will be tested even further.

The campaign ethos, as before, is not to capture reality but create an imaginative, enjoyable and engaging set of missions linked together with a plot narrative.
It has been designed with VR in mind, including F10 menu items allowing coordinates provided over the radio to be recalled back on screen. It includes over 400 actor voice files.

Thank you for your patience while we added these campaigns, we hope you enjoy!

Kind regards,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

Open Beta

Our bug-fixing process enables us to better prepare for the next DCS World 2.5.6 Open Beta release. This week we have been working on small graphic glitches whilst continuing to improve the overall load time and frame rate when running high graphic settings. We are also working on multiplayer server glitches seen in large missions, these issues were reported by our closed Beta-Testing Teams.

We have started the final test and debug iteration to ensure we deliver a reliable OB. We would like to thank all our internal and beta tester friends for the efforts needed to find, engage and destroy the bugs.




DCS: Syria is a unique theater of war that includes missions and campaigns of military confrontation in the Middle East from the 60s to the present day. This project allows users to apply nearly the entire arsenal of DCS World aircraft, helicopters and ground equipment. It also includes the possibility to re-enact some of the largest military conflicts of our time.

- The Six-Day War of 1967
- The Arab-Israeli conflict of 1973
- The Lebanese War of 1982
- The War on International Terrorism in the 21st Century

The reasons for these conflicts were ideological and economic contradictions not only of the countries of the Middle East, but also of the USA and USSR superpowers. DCS: Syria is a symbol of real modern war. The Syria theatre will contain military confrontation sites such as Homs Province and Aleppo Citadel, Golan Heights and the Bekaa Valley. Ground-based anti-aircraft missile systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and air-to-air missiles were used here for the first time on a large scale. About 900 airplanes and helicopters were destroyed during these conflicts. Read more on our forum.

In the next publication, we will talk about Beirut International Airport, the Israeli military airfield Ramat David and the largest US Air Force base in the Middle East – Incirlik.

Flaming Cliffs 3

Welcoming new users into DCS World who have little or no experience flying modern aircraft is very important to us. We hope that the current sale can help bring you closer to your friends and loved ones by sharing the experience of Flaming Cliffs 3. It provides an easy learning curve for new players and focuses on a broad range of fighters rather than a single detailed aircraft. Get the F-15C, A-10A, Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29A, MiG-29S and Su-25 all in one single download.



We thank you again for your passion and support,

Kind regards,

Kiowa Warrior

“With the help of the pilots we are currently evaluating details, which also includes the refinement and corrections of the avionics system of the aircraft. During the coming weeks, we hope to integrate the moving map feature to the avionics and also finetune the weapons and the flight model of the Hellfire missiles and will integrate another rocket type, that we have not shown or talked about yet, that will make it possible to properly engage infantry and light armoured vehicle units in DCS World.

During the past months we have also worked on certain aspects of the flight model that either needed corrections or refinements. For example, the torque values of forward flight at all possible altitudes, speeds and temperatures. Currently, we are working on the hover torque requirements to accurately mimic real aircraft as closely as possible. We are also looking at the flight characteristics below ETL, effective translational lift.

Performance pages have recently been added to the DCS Kiowa Warrior MFD, which will enable you to ask the system to calculate your power for certain flight envelopes in level and hover flight. Night vision has also been added, which we plan to update prior to release with a new feature never before seen in DCS World Helicopters, but we do not want to reveal anything yet, because we can not yet foresee obstacles we may come across that might delay such a special night vision feature. We are confident that on release, we will have realised the most accurate Kiowa Warrior representation in the game market.

At the moment we have 19 US Army liveries of various Kiowa Warrior troops, these include older aircraft markings. 16 Croatian army liveries were added as well, which is the complete fleet of the Kiowa Warriors they operate, including the tail number 327 that crashed on the 27th of January 2020 and resulted in the unfortunate loss of the aircraft and crew. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the crew.

Since everyone was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our production has slowed down a bit during the past weeks, because we as a team were also affected. Nevertheless we are back to normal again and our team is back to normal status because we have the desire to keep our promise for a release in 2020, which also includes the time required for the quality verification process by Bell Helicopters. That said, we are also currently working on 3 stand-alone campaigns for the DCS Kiowa Warrior.

Finally we hope everyone stays safe and is excited for the release of DCS: Kiowa Warrior.”

Voice Chat

We continue to work on improving the functionality of Voice Chat in DCS World.

At the moment, testing is underway to add player rooms and the ability to invite friends for private communication. In addition, the automatic creations of rooms between the crew of one aircraft (intercom) and the ability to create special missions rooms for coalition forces. This is done through the scripting trigger system function when creating missions. It is useful when specific communication channels are needed with air traffic control, sub-channels within squadrons and with ground crew. These features are planned for release in the upcoming updates.

Following the update, the Voice Chat Development Team will be focussing on the integration of radio device voice communication in the game. We understand that this function is highly demanded and greatly appreciate your patience whilst we work on it.

Summer Sale

We have been working with our internal and external beta testing teams in order to locate and squash bugs. Recent fixes include:

During a cold start, refuelling now confirms, so that the rearm process can continue.
Fixed right engine RPM failure when using AutoStart in cold weather conditions.
Auto Laser timer and TTI will display only when the bomb is dropped.
The Radar Altimeter warning, SAI and ADI no longer freeze after repair.
Launching from the catapult no longer turns external lights off.

These bug fixes are part of a larger update to the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet and we look forward to sharing the progress with you soon. With the Summer Sale 2020 in full swing, make sure to take advantage of the 50% discount on our EShop.
