DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer adds new weapons such as; the Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System (APKWS), AGM-65L laser-Maverick, and GBU-54 laser-guided JDAM. A completely remodelled cockpit with options for factory-fresh and weathered textures. The “Scorpion” system used to train the 355th Wing cadets and the updated external model now set the bar for our future releases.

We have updated the preset key commands for HOTAS hardware to make new users feel more comfortable learning this in-depth system. The fully interactive Forward Air Controller (FAC) will also help you find and engage enemy targets, cooperative target engagement has been taken to a new level.

With the improved ability to command ground forces, the vast number of land, air and sea units as well as feature-rich cooperative missions and head-to-head multiplayer; We are proud to say this is the most realistic model ever done for PC simulation.

Pricing Policy
DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer is available now for $79.99. If you own DCS: A-10C Warthog, you can upgrade to DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer for only $9.99 until the 31st of October 2020. After that, the upgrade will cost $19.99.

The upgrade option and module are both available on Steam now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK6-8iL0_9E

A new addition to the renowned A-10C is the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS). It provides excellent situational awareness and the ability to cue weapons and sensors by just looking at the target and setting a designation. Please note that this is not the same helmet implementation as for the Viper and Hornet systems; it is in many ways far superior.





We are currently working on the animation engine capabilities. We have added additional animations to vary operations phases on-board DCS: Supercarrier. A new skeleton that better matches human anatomy is in progress, this will improve realistic deck crew movement.

We are also working on improving the catapult launch animation for the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet pilot. The hand models have been corrected whilst we continue to develop Nomex® flight gloves. We are also using highly detailed 3D scanning technology to better model the pilot for point-of-view experience. When complete, the CWU-27 / p Flight Suit and the CSU-13 / p Anti-G Suit will be available.




August, 1944. You arrive in Merville-Calonne to take on leadership of 7./JG26 flying Focke Wulf 190A-8s. Most of the pilots are mere teenagers with only a few flying hours, and your job is to turn them into an efficient fighting unit under the ever-increasing pressures of the war. The Allies have gained complete air superiority over the continent, and their ground forces are advancing rapidly through France.

Experience the thrill of attacking large bomber formations head-on and the terror of taking off amid the bullets of low flying Mustangs. Download DCS: Fw 190 A-8 Horrido! Campaign by Reflected Simulations now.

Following the successful community mod and motivated by customer feedback, the software house 3rd party developer IndiaFoxtEcho has submitted their MB-339A for initial evaluation. We are pleased to announce that they have been granted a DCS World license agreement to bring their project to DCS World as an official product.

The official DCS: MB-339A will include improved cockpit geometry, new textures, and multiple systems such as;

• Electric system with battery charge / discharge
  
• Relative bar buses and circuit breakers
  
• Fuel system with fuel dump and fuel unbalance
  
• Complete oxygen system including interior cabin pressure
  
• Navigation system with GPS / TACAN / ILS and Flight Director
  
• Main and emergency hydraulic system with relative hydraulic consumptions
  
• Smoke system (for aerobatics)
  
• Weapon systems

The module will also receive a damage model, detailed flight manual, and many missions.




DCS: A-10 II Tank Killer is currently undergoing a lengthy closed testing period to ensure accuracy, stability, and a smooth launch. We continue to improve the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) indicators, add more skins and mission content, and tune flight model changes. We encourage you to get familiar with the new weapon systems to hit the ground running.

This update is being developed in parallel with the A-10C VR Training Software for the 355th Fighter Wing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42LBTv9tdhc
In this video we introduce the primary features of this substantial update and instruct on the use of the AGM-65L laser-guided Maverick. The Laser-Maverick provides excellent range and ease-of-use to lock onto a target by using the targeting pod.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyVIss-EcSg
The GBU-54 is a 500-pound bomb with options for INS/GPS and laser-homing guidance. It can be loaded on all 1760 smart racks.

While INS/GPS allows launch-and-leave and the ability to engage through cloud and smoke cover, the laser-guidance provides increased accuracy and can engage moving targets. It’s up to you to determine the best guidance based on the engagement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spLvR97LlNA
The Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) is a cost-effective method of engaging unarmored and lightly armored targets based on pinpoint laser-guidance. Both M-151 high-explosive and M-282 penetration warhead versions are available with seven rockets per each LAU-131 rocket pod. With a range of approximately 5 miles, the APKWS offers accurate firepower.

Get a grip on how to use the APKWS with DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer Laser-Guided Rockets.

We will be introducing two expansions to DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt. The P-47D-30 (Early) modification will become available; equipped with a Mark 8 gunsight, an earlier version of the control stick and throttle lever, as well as modified bomb dropping mechanics. From the exterior, the model is easily distinguishable due to the absence of the fin strake in the upper fuselage.

Our second modification is the P-47D-40 with rocket capabilities. These rockets are the familiar HVARs and the M8 rockets, both used extensively by the Allies in large numbers during World War II. The aircraft bombing loadouts have also been expanded.

Coming soon: integration of water methanol injection, improved engine damage modelling, and compressibility recovery using underwing dive flaps.

F-16C Viper

Most notably, we are working on the HARM and Maverick missile systems and look forward to sharing more information with the next 2.5.6 Open Beta update.

Watch DCS: F-16C Viper - AGM-65 Maverick Basics.


Thank you again for your passion and support,

Eagle Dynamics Team

We will be hosting a 24-hour DCS livestream on the Tactical Pascale’s Youtube Channel to raise money for Mind, a UK-based mental health charity who work directly with those suffering.

A team of committed virtual pilots from our community will be flying in DCS World for a full 24 hours, only pausing to host livestream events like Giveaways, Competitions, and live community challenges. There will be live training sessions, and we'll be playing the latest homemade “Arabian Nights” campaign mission that includes a 3-hour operation with real-player ATC, GCI, mission commanders, and 30 virtual pilots.






As we prepare for the release of DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer by the end of this month, we are carefully checking the Flight Model’s buffet and stall implementation, instantaneous turn rate, sustained turn rate, and maximum speed at different altitudes. These checks enable measured parameters to match the flight manual charts with a precision to within 3%.

We found that buffeting affects the airframe at a lower AoA than is stated in the manual, this affected aircraft handling during deliberate stalling. We are working on this issue, which will result in a significant improvement to overall aircraft behavior in this phase of flight.

In parallel, many of the new systems are now functional including laser-Maverick, APKWS, and the GBU-54 LJDAM. Work continues on the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) and associated HOTAS commands and updating the cockpit and external art.






This week we fixed an issue with A/G radar heading figures overlapping when switching from Map to EXP1-2-3. Other strange behavior when switching between A/G radar EXP modes and A/A radar has now been resolved.

When Unlimited weapons mode is activated, the salvo / ripple replenishment levels now display correctly. Threat circles on SA page now show even if the threat Icon is not visible. The SAM threat rings draw order on the SA page has been fixed. Swapping HSI/SA on left and right MDI now functions correctly.

A fuel transfer issue from external tanks has now been fixed. Radio volume issues and the COMM AM/FM change on the UFC have been fixed.

The ‘Throttle - HOTAS Warthog’ and ‘VPC WarBRD + MT50’ now have updated presets.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

With kind regards,

Eagle Dynamics Team

We are doing our best to meet your highest expectations and intensive internal and external beta-testing is underway. Currently we are working on improvements to new weaponry (APKWS, laser-guided Mavericks and bombs). We are also working hard on all current bugs with scheduled fixes coming in further updates.






Most importantly a long awaited update to the cockpit mesh was finalised, which substantially improved the precision of cockpit geometry. This will be particularly appreciated by VR users.

Visual improvements were followed by a new Flight Model as well as Avionics and Weapon System enhancements such as the recalibration of all the instruments. Significant ground clutter causes performance degradation when the RP-22SMA radar is used in low level flight, this has yet to be resolved. Small corrections to the lift coefficient at lower Mach numbers were made. Structural damage caused by exceeding G-load limits is now dynamically calculated depending on aircraft weight.



The addition of navigation data for DCS: Syria has been added, as well as a number of new missions. An overhaul of almost all air-to-air missiles is also in progress.

We are experimenting with a more realistic rendering technology for the ASP gunsight and RP-22SMA radar. Magnitude 3 has expanded the Leatherneck Simulation team who are now working on DCS: MIG-21bis, and two other projects...






A new crew campaign from Stone Sky is available for DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight. Set in the extremes of Northern Russia, this campaign will test your skills at all stages of flight.

Experience the immersive atmosphere of the arctic on Bolshevik Island in the Caucasus where the Mi-8 helicopter is still a demanded transportation mode. Your base is situated at the Solnechnaya Polar Station refinery complex, within the territory Severnaya Zemlya.

Complete day and night time exercises still in use by the Russian Army aviation. Destroy ground targets in combat training flights and lead combat missions, which require perfect management to enable a safe return to base.

Voiced radio messages in English and Russian give an insight into the civil aviation work carried out in Arctic Russia. Your adventure awaits!

This campaign requires knowledge of navigation equipment, avionics and helicopter control.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Kind regards,

Eagle Dynamics Team
