Third Party Module – DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed

Mon, 07 May 2012 05:14:43 -0400

The first licensed third party module to DCS World was announced just a few days ago – DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed.

This is a watershed moment in DCS history, made possible in part by the emerging modular structure of DCS World. DCS World has reaffirmed our plans to develop a modular system and continue to work toward an SDK package. DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed is a pioneering effort and explores a completely new platform available for aircraft simulation: DCS World. No doubt this effort is highly valuable and will be appreciated by our current and future community members. We wish this project dynamic development and success at the market!

Looking forward to our first encounter with the MiG-21Bis in the virtual skies of DCS!

DCS Mustang Developer Notes

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 09:17:43 -0400

Our lead flight model programmer has put together a few developer note articles that discuss some of the more interesting features of both the real and the virtual DCS P-51D. We will be releasing these over the course of the the next couple of weeks.

The first and probably most lengthy article overviews some of the principles behind the Manifold Pressure Indicator in the cockpit.

Enjoy!
