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,

Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

We have added two campaigns to the steam library!

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

This week we pushed DCS 2.5.6.52196 Open Beta

Added support of new DCS NS 430 Navigation System modules for C-101CC and C-101EB.

Introduced Historical mode filter in the ME.

The historical mode is designed to facilitate the creation of historical mission scenarios. If the author of the mission wants to use equipment only for a given year, he can click on the small button with a clock in the bottom line of the Mission Editor, after which all lists of equipment and aircraft are filtered out for a given year. The lists will show only those aircraft or equipment that were in service with the selected country in a given year. This mode can be turned on and off in the process of creating a mission if you need to select objects outside a given year.

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,
