Last week we launched our Yak-52 into early access and we are ecstatic about its great reception! This week we moved DCS: Yak-52 to the release version of DCS World. Next week, 15 August, the Yak-52 will be available on Steam. Since the early access release, we’ve seen some great videos:

We are now focused on bringing the Yak-52 out of early access with the following improvements already accomplished internally, and coming to you next week in the DCS World Open Beta:
Post-stall flight dynamics improved
Corrected propeller rotation direction
Added wheel chocks
Fixed the co-pilot always being displayed in the cockpit
Added solo flight configuration (the possibility to fly without the co-pilot, which has effect on flight dynamics)
Corrected the 3 bladed prop texture issue
AI ejecting through a closed canopy is now fixed
The skin texture template has been released
Corrected radio presets from the Mission Editor radio control menu
Work continues on the following elements to bring the Yak-52 out of early access:
Addition of damage modelling

Add unique Yak-52 starter sound
Faster engine turn over at start up
Corrected rudder input levels while airborne
Pitch behavior with lowering of flaps
Many other bugs and improvements
