Thereās literally just me, I forgot to add itās the instant P47D mission in Normandy SET IN June 6th.
Only my plane, static boats, some smoke plumes and nothing that justifies under 30 FPS.
If I fly over Las Vegas at max details (or over a big metropolis in the Gulf) I have much better framerate.
Migration to a new and improved forum engine is due, all forum services will be offline for
24 hours on Monday, November 30th. We apologise for any inconvenience but we are
confident that the change is for the best. Thank you for your understanding.
This week we would like to share development progress on DCS: Syria by our third party
developers Ugra Media. Check out the In Development Screenshots, they look wonderful.
Recently, new missions for DCS: Fw 190 A-8 Anton and DCS: Fw 190 D-9 Dora have
been added to the Persian Gulf map. These fictional missions provide a great way to
practice WWII aircraft bombing. As you are aware, all terrains are currently on sale
during the DCS World Autumn Sale 2020, ending on the 7th of December at 15:00 GMT.
Thank you for your passion and support.
Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics Team Forum Upgrade
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.

DCS: Syria
Development Progress
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.
Fw 190
Lone Wolf Raid RAF Luqa (Fictional)
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.
Iām glad to see Tiyas AB. Was a deployment base for Soviet Naval Aviation (SNA) Tu-16 BADGERs during the Cold War. My squadron intercepted one in the EMED back in 1987ā¦or was '86.
yup, pixel counts makes em all sweaty. Imagine going 4K, thatās even more pixels than tripple full HD but on a single screen. Iām happy to hear youāre back flying and enjoying it
WeekEnd News
4 December 2020 Dear Fighter Pilots, partners and friends, We hope that you will enjoy our new forum engine and that it will significantly improve communication quality and access to resources. Thank you in advance for bearing with us whilst we fix any persisting concerns and bugs.We are actively working on the GBU-24 laser guided bomb as well as the AGM-84K SLAM-ER land attack missile. In addition to these new weapons, we are also finalising advanced modes for the AGM-88C HARM and AGM-84D Harpoon for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet. We would also like to take this opportunity to share our progress on new 3D modern era assets that will be added to DCS World core. Thank you for your passion and support.Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics Team

Forum posts and search indexing have at last been rebuilt, however it is possible that some content still does not display as intended and we apologise for this inconvenience. Please note, [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] links will not work in the new engine.
F/A-18C Hornet
Development Progress
GBU-24 Paveway III The GBU-24 is a 2,000 lbs-class laser-guided bomb with general purpose and penetrator warheads. It hasadvanced 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 greaterrange than SP and TOO modes. AGM-84D Harpoon We will soon be adding the SEA mode to the Hornetās 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.
Tin Shield
Progress
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.
BTR-82
Progress
This is a seriously updated BTR-80 model. The armoured 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.
Thank you again for all your passion and support,
Our DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt will be moving to release state in the coming update. This remarkably rugged and dependable aircraft offers superb gameplay over our World War II battlefields, especially as it was a successful escort fighter and highly-effective ground attack aircraft.
We would like to share our progress on new air defense artillery units; the ZSU-57-2 and AZP S-60. Check out the In Development Screenshots, they are quite remarkable.
The Virtual Airshow team will soon be running their now famous online event. VFAT 2020 will be held on the 11th and 12th of December, donāt miss it, as you will see some of the best flying in the world. We can assure you that online formation flying at this level is in many ways harder than the real thing! Watch the trailer.
Thank you all for your passion and support and remember to stay safe.
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. Donāt 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.
Is this in the road map? I have gone looking for this twice. Is it just me or does it just not say ācoming soonā? Every time I see it, I think its been released. Neat vehicle. I cant wait to fight against it. Looks a Beast!
Reminds me that we āfine tunedā a couple of confiscated 57-2 back in the nineties, cant remember the exact year, but managed to find a couple of scanned photos.
A couple of Leopards pulling opposite ways on the barrels are not good for accuracy
Good times.
