DCS: F-16 Viper Academic Video #1: Cockpit Tour
Here is the first of the much-anticipated academic video series by executive producer Matt “Wags” Wagner. Enjoy this video that details the office for the DCS World Viper pilot. This video will give you a good idea of what is where and how detailed this new module will be. This orientation will be the basis for later Viper academic videos. It has been checked over by real-world Viper pilots to make sure you are getting the best Viper experience-to-date.
Wake Turbulence Visualization
You have been experiencing wake turbulence in DCS for a few months now, but as in real life, you haven't yet seen it. Now using particle visualization, we can show you the turbulence in action for the first time.
DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Jagdflieger Campaign Available on Steam!
The Jagdflieger campaign for the Bf 109 K-4 by Reflected Simulations is now available for purchase from the DCS Steam Store.
It's March 1944, the beginning of the end. The Reich has become a fortress without a roof. The large formations of Allied four motors have become daily visitors. Come, join the German Luftwaffe in these dire times. Jump into one of JG26's Messerschmitt Bf-109-s and find out what it’s like to attack the "fat cats" head-on, or to take off in a hail of bullets from the attacking Mustangs. Watch the Allied forces land on the beaches of Normandy and support the retreating Wehrmacht. Let all the details immerse you in this semi-historical campaign and make you feel like a young Jagdflieger fighting a lost battle, where, like 1944, survival is the most you can hope for.
Key Features:
- 12 semi-historical missions focusing on JG26 from March to July 1944
- A detailed background story, mission contexts and checklists
- Detailed briefings and briefing images, including separate PDF mission files
- Unique kneeboard graphics for each mission
- Over 250 specially recorded voice-over messages and radio broadcasts
- Historically accurate custom skins
