Deactivate the module

Exit DCS

Activate the module after starting a MiG-21BIS mission

 

NOTE for Windows 8 users: It is possible that you will receive a warning notifying you that module can't write to registry after it activates. Confirm this notification and let the mission start. You won't get into the cockpit this time. Exit the mission and restart DCS. Load another MiG-21BIS mission: you should be in the cockpit this time.

DCS World 1.2.15 and MiG-15bis!

Both DCS World 1.2.15 and DCS: MiG-15bis are now available.

You can download DCS World 1.2.15 using the automatic updater or download the installer files here.

DCS: MiG-15bis can be purchased from DCS E-shop.

 

DCS: MiG-15bis product page.

 

We also have a series of videos to help you get started with the MiG-15bis here: 

 

 

 

DCS World 2

We are nearing a point where DCS World 2 will be available for a public, alpha release. The primary work remains with sorting out some issues with the unified .exe (no longer will the front end and simulation end operate as two separate exe). We have also been using this time to give mission builders better control of AI weapon jettison, afterburner use, and restrictions of when they can attack air and ground targets. Now that the 1.2.15 update is released, the team will be focused on final testing and preparing DCS World 2 (and the NTTR map) for its debut.

 

 

DCS: Nevada Test and Training Map

The actual art construction (elevation mesh and textures) of this map is more-or-less done with the remaining work being performance optimization and getting the AI units to operate within the map correctly (such as airfield taxi operations). As with DCS World 2, once 1.2.15 is released, this map will be the focus of testing to get it ready for its alpha, public release.

In parallel with the new map, Red Flag campaigns for the F-15C and A-10C are in active development.

 

 

DCS: L-39 Albatros

The next aircraft to be released by Eagle Dynamics will be the L-39C and the L-39ZA. Both aircraft are in a later stage of development with most of the work now focused on the various cockpit systems and flight dynamics. This will be a fully-realized module with mouse-interactive cockpit and professional flight model. Although it will not be available at launch, two-players in the same aircraft is planned for the L-39. We see this as an important feature, not just for the L-39, but other current and future DCS modules.

 

 

DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt

The next World War II aircraft for DCS World will be the Thunderbolt. As you can see by the images in this newsletter, the cockpit is quite far along and overall project status is moving along nicely. Once the Bf 109 K-4 is out of beta (good progress as you can see in the 1.2.15 preliminary change log), progress on this module will further accelerate.

 

 

DCS: Spitfire IX

Following the Thunderbolt, the next of our World War II aircraft will be the glorious Spitfire IX. While not as far along as the Thunderbolt, aspects of it are underway as evidenced by the early cockpit renders seen in this newsletter

 

 

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet

No, it’s not a myth. Work on the Hornet continues with great progress on the air-to-surface radar. The real beam mapping mode is just about done, and once complete, the team will start work on the various sub-modes. This has been a critical new technology that had to be developed from scratch for this project.

Included in this newsletter is the current status of the 6 DOF cockpit. It is still very much a work-in-progress but project development is now accelerating.

 

 

Hawk for DCS World

We are working closely with VEAO Simulations on preparing the Hawk for sale on the DCS e-shop. There have been a few remaining bugs that need to be resolved, but once complete, the module will be available from the DCS e-shop. In the meantime, you can download the VEAO installer here.

Leatherneck sim. announces DCS F-14A&B:

 

SWINOUJSCIE, POLAND - March 3rd 2015- F-14A/B (A+) Tomcat coming to DCS World

 

 

Leatherneck Simulations[/b in association with  and [b]Eagle Dynamics are immensely proud to announce the development of the F-14 Tomcat for DCS World!

 

The F-14 Tomcat is a fourth-generation, twin tail, supersonic naval interceptor aircraft, developed for the United States' Navy VFX programme. After it's debut flight in 1970, and subsequent fleet introduction in 1974, the F-14 became the primary fleet defense and air superiority fighter for the U.S. Navy. The legend of the F-14 only grew after the hollywood smash-hit "Top Gun" - in which it was heavily featured.

 

Key Features of DCS: F-14A & B include:

• Highly Accurate 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) Cockpit
• Highly Accurate avionics and weapons system modelling - including the vaunted AWG-9 Radar system and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles.
• AIM-54 Phoenix Simulation with a CFD based AFM
• 'JESTER AI' - A Proprietary AI System for fully voiced, dependable and smart RIO/WSO
• Highly Accurate Flight Model - Based on Real Performance Data
• Both -A and -B Model F-14's
• Animated Crew Members - Closely Integrated with JESTER AI
• Highly Detailed External Model, Animations and Textures
• Highly Accurate Aircraft System and Subsystem Modelling
• One Free Theatre bundled with the Aircraft
• ...and much, much more!

At Leatherneck Simulations we strongly believe in raising the bar. We have never been comfortable with adhering to the status quo. 

 

For the Development Team, the F-14 will represent the culmination of years of experience and dedication. Our passion is only rivaled by our ambition, and we are pushing ourselves to be better than ever before. So strap in and enjoy the ride, and get ready to experience definitive F-14 experience.
