Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

We hope that you are all enjoying our new, free DCS: Marianas and are exploring the islands. Optimisation for both 2D and VR is ongoing, and we hope to have some performance enhancements soon. Thank you all for your constructive feedback and bug reports.

Please note that the scheduled maintenance of our primary server, website, Module Manager, and Multiplayer services is planned for the 13th of July at 04:00 UTC for a six hour period. We apologise for any inconvenience.

DCS: Mosquito FB Mk.VI is progressing well. The cockpit is near final; we are adding details to instrumentation colour, reflections, and colour balance. Work on the radio transmitter T1154.B and receiver R1155 devices, as well as radio communications for VoiceChat, is also approaching completion. The external model is almost finished, and texturing is near completion. To keep you informed on the development process, we have taken the opportunity to prepare some In Development screenshots for you.

The Summer Sale is in its last days; don’t miss out on these great savings! Most modules and campaigns are up to 50% off. Act now, this offer ends Monday at 15:00 GMT.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team

Mosquito FB Mk. VI

Development Progress

We have improved gauge visibility by refining the center and side panel colour gamma values. The same pre-calculated ray tracing technology used in DCS: Mi-24P Hind has also been added. Glass, plastic covers, luminescent dials, and exposed wiring provide a more realistic look and feel.

We are also working on final improvements to the external model, and we will be sharing progress with you soon. We are excited to see the finish approaching, and look forward to seeing this iconic fighter bomber in DCS World.

P-47D Thunderbolt

Promotion

DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt is now running on EDGE 2.7. This means that you will notice more detailed and enhanced textures throughout the cockpit and external model.

With its Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engines and heavy armament, the Jug can more than hold its own with the more recent and lighter P-51D Mustang, whilst withstanding more combat damage. Fully loaded, this extraordinary fighter is capable of carrying almost half the payload of a B-17 Flying Fortress. In the ground attack role, it can carry 1.3 tonnes of external ordinance, with a maximum take-off weight of nearly 8 tonnes.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the 30% special on DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt, which also ends next week.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team
