Dear Fighter Pilot, Partners and Friends,

We would like to take this opportunity to discuss DCS: F-16C Viper features in order to provide an achievable and transparent plan for 2020 and beyond. With this in mind, we invite you to contribute to the DCS: F-16 Viper Future Features Survey.

We are delighted to share the current development progress on DCS: F-16C Viper and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

This week we released an update to DCS World Open Beta (OB). We would like to kindly remind you that the releases of DCS World OB and Stable versions have been slowed down in order to continue working on substantial bug-fixing and account for longer testing periods.

Please read the most recent OB changelog.

Thank you for your passion.

Yours sincerely,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

Liveries

In cooperation with several talented community members, highly accurate liveries for the Israeli, Turkish and United States air forces are being finalised. We hope this will be appreciated for all of you who are interested in developing and flying missions in DCS: Syria.

Flight Dynamic

Several subject matter experts are involved in further improvements to the flight model and flight control system. This will provide substantial accuracy enhancements and we look forward to your feedback.

Additionally, a white paper has been prepared that describes some of the basics of our Flight Module (FM) programming, in particular with regards to the way we use the sources available to achieve a high level of accuracy in our simulation.

F/A-18C Hornet

The Serpent's Head 2

A 10 mission campaign for the F/A-18C Hornet by our third-party developers Badger 633 is now available to download on Steam. It comprises the next chapter of the six previous "Serpents Head" missions released earlier that is freely available in the DCS user files. Download it from our EShop.

F-86F Sabre

Hunters Over the Yalu

The Hunters over the Yalu Campaign for the F-86F Sabre by Reflected Simulations is also now available to download on Steam.

Command the 67th Fighter Bomber Squadron and attack enemy-held bridges, bomb factories, and strafe supply columns. Support US troops as they fight fiercely on the ground. Survive heavy flak and fighter attacks, and then transfer to the legendary 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron to carry out large fighter-sweeps in MiG Alley over the Yalu river.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Kind regards,

The Eagle Dynamics Team
