Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

The Mosquito FB VI Livery Competition has ended and the winners have been selected! Please join us in congratulating them on their hard work. All ten winners will receive a free Eagle Dynamics module and their usernames will be added to the credits.

DCS: UH-1H is undergoing an engine model update, and we are thrilled to share our progress. We are working on a more realistic simulation of the helicopter's engine that provides more precise control over the engine's characteristics. Check the details below!

The launch of the new Normandy map is approaching. If you are a campaign creator, please consider updating your missions to take advantage of the new capabilities that this incredible map offers. The larger and more detailed battlefield will enable you to push your mission making skills to the next level. Stay tuned for this exciting update that is coming soon.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics

Thank you to all that participated in this livery competition. We are incredibly grateful and impressed with all of your submissions. Stay tuned for the next one!

UH-1H

Development Report

New engine modelling methods have been in progress during development of the Mi-24P and AH-64D modules. The new UH-1H engine model was in many ways a test bed for the methods we then used in the AH-64D engines model. We’ve been gathering feedback about DCS: UH-1H over the years, and thanks to our forum users; Piston85, Ramsay and others, we have pinpointed changes to make for new engine model development. We are now finishing the deployment of the new engine model to UH-1H and are eager to let you try it. Please make sure to give us your feedback.

The new model represents fine tuning to address the following:

• Some of the old engine model parameters did not match with their real counterpart, especially in transient regimes.
• We wanted to improve temperature regime compliance to match the real world counterpart. This includes EGT other engine parameters based on altitude and outside temperature changes.
• We wanted to improve the modelling of mechanics to include a new model that accounts for the connection of the free turbine and main rotor.
• The new model has allowed us to improve details of the start-up and shutdown procedures that leverage the expanded modelling of compressors and free turbine.

This image shows that we are now accurately modelling auto-rotation situation readings on the tachometer. The real aircraft dial is on the left and the DCS: UH-1H Huey dial on the right.

Normandy Campaigns

Exciting news from the sky

We highly encourage all campaign creators to gear up and prepare your missions in anticipation of the new Normandy! Reflected Simulations has been pouring passion into updating their Normandy campaigns: DCS: P-51D The Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney, DCS: Spitfire IX The Big Show and DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Jagdflieger. Brace yourselves for visually stunning and exhilarating missions that exploit the full potential of the new DCS: Normandy theatre. Please read the Normandy 2 FAQ to get all the insider information.
