and Voice Chat.

17 December 2021



Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,

We are pleased to inform you that Open Beta 2.7.9 is coming in hot and we expect to have it for you next week. This important update will include substantial work to DCS: AJS-37 Viggen and additions to DCS: F-14A/B Tomcat. As planned, we will include a large number of new features for DCS: F-16C Viper as well as an important batch of open WWII enhancements.

DCS: Voice Chat is a comprehensive approach to radio communication in DCS World and should be available in the upcoming OB. This capability has been in the works for more than two years and will bring voice compatibility across the platform. We continue to test it thoroughly whilst encouraging our 3rd party developers to configure their modules accordingly. We are confident that this component will add a simple and powerful communication layer to DCS and we very much look forward to your feedback.

The festive season is here and without further ado we bring you the Winter Sale 2021, which offers up to 50% discount on our most popular modules and campaigns. The Eshop sale will run until the 10th of January 2022 at 15:00 GMT. Watch the video.

We kindly remind you that the Final stage of Shadow's Trophy Tournament will take place on Saturday the 18th December at 12:00 GMT.

Thank you for your passion and support.



Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics Team

In the next Open Beta release, we will deliver a major update to integrated radio communications. Voice Chat operates natively within DCS and no additional software or instals are required. Please bear in mind that enhancements will be ongoing and we appreciate your patience and bug reporting as we continue developing this complex communication stack.

We will also be adding radio communication to the Combined Arms roles, ground units, ATC, and AWACS. Further development will contain encrypted communication noises, clicks, distortions and voice synthesising in real time and more.

To ensure correct usage of this new and improved feature, we have prepared a document on How to Use DCS Voice Chat.
