Can anyone with Nevada and the F-15 join it ?  Hmm sorry for asking but when is it scheduled ? I am in India.

 

I just want to fly in the Red Flag without any combat.

Nope, just the original buyers of the A10C pre-sale :-/

Dear Pilots!

 

2015 was an important year for DCS World with the introduction of new Eagle Dynamics Modules like DCS: L-39 Albatros, DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range, and both Su-27 and Ka-50 campaigns. Just as important, we launched our new graphics engine, the ability to support multiple maps, introduction of cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft, and a rapidly growing number of high quality 3rd party developers. These accomplishments have laid the foundation for great things in 2016 and beyond. 

 

 

 

We also launched the new DCS World website that you can view here:

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/index.php

 

On both our Youtube channel and Facbook page, we released many new videos of modules and news updates. Here are some of our favorite highlights:

     

Our fundamental goals for DCS World remain unchanged: we aim to build a deeply immersive and accurate world simulation engine that allows you to enjoy the highest levels of fidelity in aircraft operations from WWII onwards, in wonderfully detailed and varied areas of the globe while offering an ever more credible ground simulation experience.

 

 

 

DCS World 2.0 in 2016 will offer new clouds and weather effects; improved HDR; deferred lighting (more light sources); new FLIR system; an improved Air Traffic Control (ATC) system; enhanced explosions, over-wing vapor, and rain on canopy; procedural grass and vegetation; improved multiplayer with dedicated server support; a new Air Combat Generator with enhanced user control of air-to-air generated missions; new custom overlays option for the Mission Editor, and a new Virtual Reality (VR) tab in Options which will improve the DCS World experience in VR.

 

Aircraft Modules

 

Eagle Dynamics’s first goal in 2016 is to wrap up the L-39 Albatros with the addition of the L-39ZA version along with the addition of interactive training missions. We will also continue to improve the cooperative multiplayer experience in the L-39 as a testbed for this technology.

 

 

 

In parallel we continue to work on the F/A-18C Hornet. We are currently working on the cockpit and setting up its functionality. Later in 2016 we plan to release the Hornet as an “Early Access” product that will allow you to participate in early testing. 

 

Our goals for DCS World War II remain unchanged and are still focused on a stable of WWII aircraft in addition to a 1944 map of Northern France with period ground units. We hope to finish the Spitfire IX in mid-2016 followed by the P-47D at the end of the year. We will also continue to fine-tune the P-51D, Fw 190 and Bf 109.

 

 

 

To complete the update to all DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft, we plan to add a new 3D external model for the MiG-29 with the incorporation of the Professional Fight Models (PFM) to both the Su-33 and MiG-29.

 

 

 

In the first half of 2016, several new 3rd party aircraft modules will also be launched. These include the F-5E Tiger II by Belsimtek, the SA342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations, and the AJS-37 Viggen by Leatherneck Simulations.

 

Map Modules

 

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map is being enhanced with the addition of:

Tonopah Air Force Base

New casino/hotels in the Las Vegas strip

A number of airfields and landing strips in the central (detailed) portion of the map

The National Training Center (NTC)

Improved grass and ground clutter

Plus a host of minor improvements

 

We have also been working on the DCS: Strait of Hormuz map with the primary focus on F/A-18C operations. For this release we are working on our new T5 dynamic mesh terrain technology that we believe will bring this map a new dimension in quality and detail.

 

The third map being worked on is the 1944 Northern France map. We see this period map as a cornerstone element to create an immersive World War II air combat experience.

 

Aircraft Carriers

 

 

 

We see 2016 as a big year for aircraft carrier operations as we plan to release both Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier modules. Both of these modules will be incredibly detailed models with working elevators, interior hanger bays, animated ship systems, and the ability to walk around inside the ships. These will be optional modules that would replace the existing ships currently in DCS World.

 

New Campaigns

 

As we release maps and aircraft, we will also continue to offer new campaign modules. These will include both training and combat scenario campaigns.

 

Summary

 

We see 2016 as a very exciting time for DCS World with the growth in maps, aircraft, and features. When we include all the new aircraft and map modules being developed by our talented 3rd parties, 2016 will be an exceptional and fun time in the skies of DCS World.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

Wags....

More information on the Carrier DLC will be provided once they get closer to pre-sell.

Looking forward to future announcements Matt and I hope to see video updates also in the not so distant future?? 

 

Wags...

If time allows, I will try to do an L-39ZA video in the next couple of weeks. Very busy lately on the business side.

 

Wags....

Regarding "Early Access" it simply means that these are modules that evolve as you play them, as you give feedback, and as we fix bugs, update, and add content. We are getting away from the alpha and beta terms.

Wags

Our focus for 2016 is the NTTR, SoH and Northern France maps.

Multi-GPU is an aspect of 2.0 we are still working on.

 

[SlowFlyer 78]

This sim looks incredible.

[Phantom88 3,278]

This sim looks incredible.

Yes,It really is........and free to play with 2 quality aircraft.

[jcomm 5,882]

By far the best flight dynamics available in a flightsim, for the included aircraft types, helicopters included !

 

My personal choice is actually two sims covering the ww2 Era - DCS with it's ww2 modules, and IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad.

 

All summed up, I can't really place one in the first place - they're ex-aequo.

 

And... btw, if you like ww1, then please give a good try to the also f2p Rise of Flight !!!

 

Never been so happy in my simmer life with this three... and Aerowinx PSX for Boeing 744 dogfights with systems and adverse weather :-)

[scotchegg 4,158]

The more time I spend with DCS, BoS, and now CloD again, the happier I get with them. DCS especially, because of its versatility (both current and planned) and attention to detail, will be getting more and more of my money in future.

 

For sheer immersion I haven't seen anything like it, and future, native support for VR is pretty gosh-darned exciting.

Same here scotchegg, and since I do not have enough time for them all, I decided to straighten my choices, and am only in DCS World, Aerowinx PSX ( sometimes using X-Plane 10 for the out-of-windshield visuals ) and that's all - I am served like never before.

 

I gave up on both il-2 BoS and Rise of Flight, RoF because I seldom played it, and Il-2 BoS because it simulates the same kind of aircraft I am interested in in DCS ( well and in DCS the helicopters too ), so, no need to have two sims, and.... DCS is 64 bit, uses DX11, has more complex systems with which we can actually interact, and also more detailed and precise flight dynamics overall...
