Development Report #11

  • 2.5.6 Open Beta - This month we have been working to complete DCS version 2.5.6. Some extra time was needed to ensure a smooth transition from 2.5.5 both by our team and our 3rd Parties. You can expect to see the first 2.5.6 Open Beta in early February. We look forward to sharing it with you in the near future.

  • P-47D-30 Progress - We are nearly ready to unleash the ‘Jug’ on DCS World! We are finalizing the 3D model and cockpit; making improvements to the fuselage, cowling, and air intakes; and working on externals stores like fuel tanks and bombs.

The Channel Map - Work continues on this map with the detailing or more areas, adding landmarks, adjusting aircraft AI taxi and landing behavior, and tuning some of the colors. We have been listening to your feedback, and we will be adding a couple ALG’s in England that based USAAF units. We have also been busy researching the placement of the Chain Home radar stations.

1 Like

So it must be absolutely perfect, in every aspect.

25 September 2020

Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

We are pleased to announce DCS: MB-339A is coming to DCS World. This exciting project comes to us from a group of flight simulation and aerobatics enthusiasts who saw DCS as the ideal platform to pursue their virtual flights. The MB-339 is an excellent fighter-trainer, and the simulator is being used by the Italian Air Force cadets.

As DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer prepares for takeoff, we are happy to share our development progress on the AGM-65L Laser Maverick, GBU-54 Laser JDAM and APKWS laser-guided rocket. We are confident that this major upgrade will be an exciting addition to this iconic and effective weapons system. Check out the Tank Killer introduction and Laser Maverick video and how to use GBU-54 Laser JDAM.

The Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association is running their Thunder Over Kutaisi 2020 Livestream Airshow on the 26th of September at 20:00GMT. Watch the trailer.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team

IndiaFoxtEcho

New third-party developer and module

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
  • Bus-bar 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.

A-10C II Tank Killer

Development Update

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 United States Air Force 355th Wing.

AGM-65L Laser-Maverick

Development Progress

GBU-54 LJDAM

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.

GBU-54 LJDAM

Development Progress

AGM-65L Laser-Maverick

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.

Watch DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer - GBU-54 Laser-JDAM.

AGR-20A APKWS

Development Progress

AGR-20A APKWS

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.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Kind regards,

Eagle Dynamics Team

WOW

Each aircraft has unique hydraulics, pneumatic and electrical systems and materials. As a result, the predicted damage depends on the type of munition, munition velocity dependent on distance and location of impact. The internal effects such as engine/radiator damage, coolant or oil temperature variation, loss of pressure, loss of control or other effects will generate the corresponding internal and/or external visual effects.

We have deployed this technology to all our World War II fighters, and we trust that the long wait will be worth it and we hope that it will be to your demanding expectations.

no words on pilot damage… let’s see!

Promised improvements to AI is also interesting, as it is they are cheating too much to be fun.

Let’s hope we get it soon and that is as good as we hope. :slight_smile:
