DCS 2.8.1.34437 Open Beta

Introduced DCS: Black Shark 3 by Eagle Dynamics!

The main goal is to give the already well-known Ka-50 attack helicopter new features which expand the gameplay.

Key features:

• A Missile Warning System for warning about the launch of missiles at a helicopter has been developed.
• The possibility of using Air-to-Air Igla missiles has been implemented.
• A realistic model of an Inertial Navigation System has been developed, which has the properties of a real one: it requires alignment before the flight and accumulates an error. The error of INS coordinates can be fixed in flight by previously assigned landmarks as fixpoints.
• New, more accurate and detailed 3D helicopter model using modern technologies and materials.

Introduced new campaign:

• DCS: F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion II Campaign by Badger633
