We are excited to announce that the DCS: F-100D Super Sabre by Grinnelli Designs is nearing release. As the first USAF fighter to achieve sustained supersonic, level flight flight, the F-100D marks a major leap into the jet age, and it played a key role in Vietnam where it was tasked with both fighter and ground-attack missions. With major milestones complete, the module is in its final preparation stages.
Art development is nearly done, with detailed texture work and precise 3D modelling achieved based on high-fidelity photogrammetry scans of an actual F-100D airframe. This process ensures that all surface details, panel lines, and rivets are consistent with the original aircraft. Expect a variety of historically accurate liveries that includes both USAF stateside training squadrons and Vietnam War combat markings.
All core systems are in place, and the team is now polishing small details. Flight model tuning is also in its final phase, and Grinnelli Designs and Eagle Dynamics are working together to adjust the F-100D’s unique handling that includes its impressive high-speed performance to its famously tricky low-speed behaviour. The damage model is also being finished to ensure your combat experience is as immersive and authentic as possible.
Audio development is well underway, and the team is processing and integrating final recordings from a real F-100. You’ll soon be able to hear the unique sounds of the J57 engine as heard from the cockpit and helmet, greatly improving your DCS experience.
The module is in Eagle Dynamics internal testing, and the focus is on identifying and resolving any remaining issues to ensure a stable, high-quality release for you.
We are preparing for launch in close coordination with Eagle Dynamics. Stay tuned for more updates as the DCS: F-100D Super Sabre nears your hangar.
