Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

We are excited to announce the release of DCS: Mosquito FB VI into Early Access. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring you this highly realistic simulation not only from the point of view of the visuals, performance and sound, but especially from the point of view of FM and systems modelling as well the new advanced damage system. We are confident that this will set a new standard for our WWII aircraft and we are keen to receive your feedback.

DCS World Open Beta is now running version 2.7.6. This update includes multiple Viper improvements, in particular the long awaited addition of the Dual Target Track (DTT) mode. The Hornet, DCS: AV-8B Night Attack and DCS: JF-17 Thunder have also received some love and you can read the full changelog here.

This week’s Open Beta also includes many new DCS: The Channel features such as the winter landscape and many unique landmarks and objects. Take a look at some of the screenshots.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team
