Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

DCS: World War II Marianas map is making steady progress. We are confident that you will enjoy our recreation of these strategic islands of the Pacific Theatre of Operations as they were in 1944, shortly before the battles of the Mariana Islands.

We can also confirm the imminent update of DCS: Syria. Our partners Ugra Media have yet again set a very high standard for their terrain and map objects. This update extends the map to the east and includes eastern Syria and portions of western Iraq. Please see Development Screenshots.

We would also like to reassure you of the fantastic feedback from our Closed Beta Testing team. We are further tuning DCS: AH-64D Multi Crew and crushing bugs, especially in multiplayer. Explore the defensive systems available at launch in Matt Wagner’s latest DCS: AH-64D Defence Systems and DCS: AH-64D | Landing. This may be your last chance to take advantage of the 30% pre-purchase price on DCS: AH-64D... Thank you!

Community Multiplayer Training servers running PvP & PvE, Modern and Historic events are the way to go. Check out the 4YA Server Discord.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team

WWII Marianas

Development Progress

Except for the presence of a naval administration on the island, pre-war Guam was basically a land of farmers and fishermen living a simple and peaceful life. The US territory of Guam and the Northern Islands, which are part of the Japanese World War I mandate, will be included in the initial Early Access release.

A number of Japanese settlements and local Chamorros regions, as well as agricultural pastures, predominantly sugar cane fields, are visible in the Development Screenshots.

The task of creating this map to match the visual quality and accuracy of the modern Marianas map includes new texturing to most of the land masses and creating countless new objects. It is a large task that is making steady progress and we look towards your comments.

Syria

Development Report

In the coming Open Beta update, the DCS: Syria map size will increase eastward by 250 km to Deir ez-Zor airbase in Syria. A large section of the Euphrates River Valley in the eastern part of the map will be included, as well as parts of western Iraq to include H3, H3 Northwest, H3 Southwest and Ruwayshid airbases. You can also look forward to the Ataturk Dam and Şanlıurfa International Airport in Turkey.

Also be on the lookout for the abandoned dirt airfield east of Sayqal AirBase and Tal Siman military base located to the north of the city of Raqqa. The Kharab Ishk helicopter base, located on the territory of the Lafarge factory, At-Tanf military base on Syrian-Iraqi border, and the oil facilities in Deir ez-Zor area are also included.

The focus on the map update is to better support historic AH-64D missions during the war on ISIS.

This will be a free update to DCS: Syria.
