19 June 2020

Dear Fighter Pilot, Partners and Friends,

In cooperation with our third-party partner Heatblur, a free trial event for the AJS-37 Viggen and the F-14A/B Tomcat will take place between the 19th and the 25th of June. We hope this will give you an opportunity to give these majestic aircraft a try. Sadly this offer is limited to the Eshop version and not available on Steam.

On the 17th of June, we delivered a hotfix to DCS World Open Beta (OB) that primarily covered issues related to the AJS-37 Viggen and F-14 Tomcat in preparation for the Free Trial. Read the full changelog.

In response to some of the recent complaints pertaining to the recent two Open Beta updates, we have decided to focus our efforts on bug-fixing for the coming four weeks. We will also be slowing down the OB releases in the future in order to permit broader QA and testing. We hope that this will improve stability and diminish some of the frustrations that many of you have felt, especially in multiplayer.

We are glad to announce the DCS World Summer Sale 2020 has started and will run until the 13th of July. For DCS World Steam Edition, the sale will start on the 25th and end on the 9th of July at 10:00 PST.

We thank you for your passion and support and as always, fly safe.

Yours sincerely,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

Hotfixes

We are working on upgrading the schedule of DCS World Open Beta releases and the approach we use for release preparation and delivery and look forward to sharing more information with you soon.

This week we primarily pushed DCS: F-14B by Heatblur Simulations hotfixes in preparation for the free trial event.

Last week we ran into some difficulties with busy multiplayer servers in DCS World. We are aware of all these issues and are working to provide a more bug-free and reliable environment. We have also been working on virtual reality performance issues.
