The new functionality was developed with a user-friendly approach in mind and is the next stage of multi-crew operations in DCS World.

Permission system
A new permission system to the available seats in the aircraft is implemented through the interface of pop-up windows (widgets). It allows the pilot (the owner of the aircraft specified in the Mission Editor) to control the access of other players to the available seats in the aircraft.

Flight control transfer
The transfer of aircraft flight controls from the first pilot to the second pilot and back has been implemented. At the same time, the owner pilot can control requests from shooters and allow or reject them. The owner pilot of the aircraft, specified in the mission editor, always retains the ability to forcibly return control of the helicopter to himself.

System control transfer
For a helicopter like Huey, when the same instrument of cockpit control is available to both pilots at the same time, it was necessary to develop specific logical solutions in the "multi-crew" functionality which, with a minimum delay, ensures mutual accessibility of the instruments and cockpit controls for the pilot / co-pilot.

The updated mechanics for multi-crew access to the controls, as well as the ability to exchange seats within one helicopter (via free seat), required additions in the mechanism of interaction between the helicopter model and the DCS core. Due to this, the work took way way longer than was anticipated. We faced some major bugs where warnings were not seen by co-pilots, and some issues where the aircraft status was not synchronising correctly for all crew.
We continue to work on the implementation of the ability to separate the view axis and the machine gun direction for a more comfortable game from the shooter's workplace. Now, if you have Track-IR or VR, the game will assign these devices to view axis while the machine gun axis will remain under mouse control. In addition, the ability to assign a machine gun control to the joystick will be added. This will lead us closer to the completion of this new feature and to it’s roll out to other platforms.

We hope you will have fun with this new addition to DCS: UH-1H Huey.




We are excited to be able to offer you this Free to Play event, the complexities of these aircraft can be a challenge to master and we hope this gives you a chance to explore all of what is on offer in DCS World.

On behalf of all of us, we would like to extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this festive season bring you peace, happiness, health and all the prosperity for the year ahead. We rise together to face the challenges of today and are hopeful for New Year's brighter days.

Thank you again for your passion and commitment,

Kind regards,

The Free to Play period will run for two weeks (22.12.20 10:00 PST - 05.01.21 10:00 PST), and it will allow you to access all DCS World modules for free with no time limitation within the two week period. Note that an internet connection is required for the Free to Play event and that Free to Play modules will not work in DCS World in OFFLINE mode.

We hope that you will enjoy some well earned free flight time, and who knows, maybe also to fall in love with your next aircraft or terrain.




Fighter engines, and in particular radial engines, are susceptible to master bearing overloads that require fine management skills and attention during operation. To prolong the service life, compliance with manifold pressure levels and RPM recommendations and limitations are mandatory. If not respected, you run the risk of serious engine malfunction, and you will probably be looking for a suitable emergency landing site in short order. If the engine is damaged due to poor management, or excess combat abuse, lowering the manifold pressure (or boost) and engine RPM will help keep the oil temperature within limits. With sufficient oil pressure, it should allow you to execute a controlled emergency landing.

The DCS: Fw 190A-8 Anton and DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt now include these new algorithms for calculating and simulating the above, as well as the subsequent damages / failures to the engine. These aircraft represent our latest advancement in modeling, heating, cooling, aging, and damage to power plants and systems. This work will be extended to our older DCS World aircraft, and this will set the standard for all new warbirds coming to DCS World.




At last, and after a long gestation period, we have added multi-crew capabilities to UH-1H, with playable roles for all four crew members, to the next Open Beta. You can now have dedicated roles to fly and fight with two pilots and two gunners and interchange roles in flight. If the UH-1H does not have M-60 and M-134 minigun installed, you can fly as passengers. This offers a new level of gameplay that we plan to roll out to other platforms in the near future.



The Hornet now includes the GBU-24A/B Paveway III laser-guided bomb. Auto IFF/CIT from the AZ/EL A/A page and AZ/EL FlIR Sublevel. Watch DCS: F/A-18C Hornet | Automatic IFF. A redesigned threat search algorithm for HARM for TOO mode has also been added. Read and watch the details DCS: F/A-18C Hornet | GBU-24 Paveway III.



We have fixed the logic of the System Point of Interest (SPI) concept. Multiple other bugs have been fixed and new A/A Training Missions have been added to help you hit the ground running. The manual has also been updated. Watch DCS: F-16C Viper | Targeting Pod and Maverick Tips.

This update to Open Beta 2.5.6 is our largest to date and includes the MBT T-72B3, SPAAG ZSU-57-2, and APC BTR-82A AI vehicles mentioned in recent news. For a more comprehensive list of updates and bug fixes, please check out the full list of changes.

Once again, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Thank you for all for your passion and support,

Kind regards,


Eagle Dynamics Team

In this update we introduced multi-crew for DCS UH-1H Huey. Up to four crewstation are available for cooperative play: pilot, co-pilot, left gunner and right gunner (if they are added in missions). Added multi-crew missions for the UH-1H helicopter.

Known Issues during playing with multi-crew:

Possible desynchronization of the state (visualization) of the helicopter in case of damage and when requesting ground power before engine start.
When leaving the crewstation of the left (right) gunner into the spectators and back, the gunner's body-model may disappear.
There may be problems in the cockpit with controls that have axis settings commands (knobs for adjusting the volume, setting the altitude, etc.), if the controls is intended for another crewstation.
There is no visualisation of the cargo mark on the cargo indicator (cargo position display).

Over the course of the Early Access period, we have been able to fine tune the unique hydraulics, oil, electrical systems, and flight model of the Jug.. We believe that this is our best World War II fighter to date and that it sets a new standard for all our future World War II aircraft.

DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt was used extensively to test and tune our new Damage Model update. It provided a stable platform for general bug-fixing and creating engine damage effects caused by overheating and poor engine management.

We have simulated almost all aspects of this aircraft to create the most accurate representation possible for PC. Don’t miss the last chance to benefit from the 20% Early Access discount and enjoy one of the most loved and iconic allied fighters of the second world war.




The ZSU-57-2 is a Soviet Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun (SPAAG) with twin S-68 57-mm autocannons that are recoil-operated. It supplements the shorter-range 23-mm gun systems like the ZU-23 and ZSU-23-4. These two 57-mm cannons have a range of 20,000 feet and a far larger blast radius.



The Soviet 57-mm AZP S-60 is a towed, road-transportable, short to medium range, single-barrel anti-aircraft gun from the 1950s. The S-60 and S-68 cannons both feature blast fragmentation warheads capable of bringing down enemy aircraft with a single round.





This weekend, tune it to watch the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams. Watch renowned virtual teams replicate real-life routines and fictional teams showcase their creativity within DCS World. Watch the live event and view the schedule.

Thank you again for all your passion and support,

GBU-24 Paveway III
The GBU-24 is a 2,000 lbs-class laser-guided bomb with general purpose and penetrator warheads. It has advanced guidance over the Paveway II bombs and provides extended N range, maneuverability, and attack flexibility. It is designed to defeat high-value, protected targets. The Paveway III is planned for release in December 2020.



AGM-84K
The SLAM-ER is the next land-attack cruise missile coming to the Hornet. Unlike the current AGM-84E SLAM, the SLAM-ER has greater range, a more advanced terminal seeker, a multi-steerpoint navigation system, stealthier radar cross section, as well as greater accuracy when human-in-the-loop guidance is not used.

Unlike the GBU-24, the SLAM-ER has much greater range and the ability to alter terminal targeting. We are also developing the enhanced data link video transmission for these greater distances which we plan to deliver early next year.

AGM-88C HARM
In addition to the current Self Protect (SP) and Target of Opportunity (TOO) HARM modes, we will be adding the Pre-Briefed (PB) mode later this month. This attack mode targets a geographic location and attempts to engage hostiles within range. Because the range is known, the HARM can be lofted and thus giving it greater range than SP and TOO modes.

AGM-84D Harpoon
We will soon be adding the SEA mode to the Hornet’s radar. This will be an effective tool to acquire and engage moving naval targets. The Harpoon can take advantage of known target azimuth and range to use the Range/Bearing Launch (R/BOL) mode for more accurate attacks.




We are currently finalising the ST68U mobile three-coordinates radar station (Tin Shield NATO classification). This unit was designed to detect and track low-altitude targets in active and passive interference in the presence of intense reflections from the ground and in adverse weather conditions. It is in service with many CIS countries and the former Warsaw Pact countries.




This is a seriously updated BTR-80 model. The armored personnel carrier is equipped with the 30-mm 2A72 cannon and has been realised with the troop compartment. BTR-82A is actively used in Syria during patrols by the military police.

Both of these new core assets are planned for release in the next Open Beta 2.5.6, the last of 2020.

Thank you again for all your passion and support,

As you may be aware, in the last month we updated our forum software. The update caused some
unforeseen disruptions and we apologise for any inconveniences.

On Monday, we will make a major improvement by migrating to a new IPS-based forum engine.
This is being done to iron out bugs in the current forum and to accommodate user traffic whilst
taking advantage of mobile viewing without the need for additional software.

Please note that if you are not able to login, you will have to request a password reset. If you
can login, no further action is required.

BBCode is a legacy markup language that was originally designed to allow users to submit rich
content prior to the advancement of WYSIWYG editors. BBCode will not be supported in the
new forum. All posts with deprecated BBCode will be converted over the next 3 days and after
that, all BBCode support will be switched off forever. markup is not supported by IPS, this BBCode
content can not be converted automatically and will not show.




Ugra Media is currently increasing DCS: Syria to a massive 800x600 km map size. The addition
of 18 airfields is also in progress. The final version of DCS: Syria will have a total of 51 airfields
including the United States Air Force base at Incirlik, the Russian Air Force base at Latakia,
and the Royal Airforce bases on the island of Cyprus.




As a Lone Wolf Anton, you are to carry out a bombing raid on RAF Luqa airfield. Your primary
target is an aircraft pan, housing Spitfires being readied to defend the island. You are armed
with a bomb and air-to-ground ammunition belts to destroy the aircraft on the pan. Be prepared
for potential interception. Good Luck!

Four new Instant Action missions are now available for the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 on DCS: Persian Gulf.
These missions provide a great environment and use our latest mission editor features.

FA-18C Aggressors BFM Campaign by Maple Flag:

Changed Bandit ROE to Return Fire

Added Random AI and Rookie AI versions of the campaign

A-10C AAT Campaign by Maple Flag:

AFT04 Practice mission - fixed logic bug (wrong flag used) that prevents the mission from completing as expected.

“The F-14A was the first 4th generation fighter aircraft and needs little to no introduction. It was introduced to a widespread audience early on and has been admired ever since. It’s remarkable capabilities both in. A/A and A/G made sure it remained in service longer than its successors and it is still in active service with the IRIAF today. It’s fame is unparalleled and presents sheer excitement and tough challenges to its pilots.

As we continue on our journey of building the most well known and certainly the most iconic variant of the Tomcat around, we continually re-evaluate what our goals are with the -A and what we want to achieve. Based on this process, we’ve ended up by expanding our original scope, and will be shipping the following F-14A variants in the coming months:

F-14A-95-GR: Early F-14A for IRIAF. These jets will have certain limitations and modifications, such as the lack of TCS and fuel pylons.

F-14A-135-GR (Early): This will be an earlier representation of the F-14A, equipped with the ALR-45 RWR and will also come with a number of minor variations such as early gun vents, alternate de-fog systems, and other minor differences between late and early ALR-45 equipped F-14A’s.

F-14A-135-GR (Late): This version represents a later, ALR-67 equipped F-14A.November 18th saw the release of ALR-67 equipped F-14A-135-GR (Late). While this represents a closer analogue to the current F-14B, it also allowed us to roll out the F-14A in a controlled, stepwise process. The ALR-45 equipped F-14A will not be far behind, which will not only introduce more significant changes in cockpit avionics, but also implement the full overhaul of RWR and EM spectrum emissions upgrades planned for both the ALR-67 and ALR-45.

Wednesday’s patch also included the introduction of yaw strings and a complete sound overhaul among many other items. Check out this short sample video of the new sound here. For more info please see the full changelog.

We hope you thoroughly enjoy the challenge of flying and taming the iconic F-14A!”

Sincerely,
- The Heatblur Team

The dive recovery flaps used for faster pull outs during dive bombing and when in compressibility have
been added to the Flight Model. The water injection system has now been implemented to maximise the power output of the R-2800-59W engine.

Forced water injection causes the turbocharger pressure to increase and actuates a derichement valve
in the carburettor. When water is injected the fuel-air ratio decreases, this provides fuel economy without risk of detonation.

Our on-going work on the new Damage Model has led us to tune the durability of certain structural elements. This has improved G overload limits when the aircraft is damaged.
