#Release of DCS World 2.0.4 with DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Map Extension Pack
Today we will be releasing the next update to DCS World 2.0, version 2.0.4. The primary addition to this update is the inclusion of the Extension Pack for the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map. This extension includes 13 new airfields and several new cities and towns. One of the new airfields is Tonopah Test and Training Range airfield, that was home to the āRed Eaglesā flying Russian-developed aircraft and the F-117A āStealth Fighterā wing. This is a FREE extension pack to owners of the Nevada map. Enjoy!

I agree. Some of those airfields are pretty short (like a bit over 3,000āā¦) which should be some fun challenges for landings. I swear this sim begs for a utility turboprop that can be made part of the mission (like a Caravan or C-27J)ā¦
Time to fire up the APU on your Global and use the WiFiā¦ (LOLā¦just kiddingā¦Iām sure that isnāt much fasterā¦and probably a hundred dollars per gigā¦!)
