DCS: CH-47F development continues with much of our attention on the Digital Automatic Flight Control System (DAFCS), specifically Position Hold. This feature will provide a stable hover reference that enables pilots to maintain precise positioning with less effort. This feature is in internal testing and being tuned to ensure responsiveness and accuracy.
We are also integrating Translational Rate Command (TRC) mode, which will work hand-in-hand with Position Hold to further expand the DCS: CH-47F’s flight envelope. With the completion of these DAFCS modes, pilots can look forward to improved workload management, enhanced mission flexibility, and reduced workload.
Following this, our focus will shift to the new rope-and-sling-loading system. This will bring multi-point sling loading to the DCS: CH-47F that will offer a much greater range of logistic and transport scenarios.
We will also implement one of the most important additions for DCS for rotary-wing aircraft: The X-ray-based damage model. Much like what you have seen in our WWII aircraft, this system will simulate internal structures and component-level damage that raises the bar for helicopter survivability and systems damage modelling. Our team is actively working on this as a high priority.
The DCS: CH-47F is shaping up to be a highly capable, technically advanced module, and we are excited to provide more updates as these features continue to mature.
