DCS 2.5.6.52437

Introduced new modules: DCS P-47D Thunderbolt and DCS The Channel map.

Added support of DCS NS 430 Navigation System modules for C-101CC and C-101EB by AvioDev.

Introduced Historical mode filter in the ME.

The historical mode is designed to facilitate the creation of historical mission scenarios. If the author of the mission wants to use equipment only for a given year, he can click on the small clock piktogramm in the bottom line of the Mission Editor, after which all lists of equipment and aircraft are filtered out for a given year. The lists will show only those aircraft or equipment that were in service with the selected country in a given year. This mode can be turned on and off in the process of creating a mission if you need to select objects outside a given year.

Introduced new campaign: F/A-18C The Serpent's Head 2 by Badger 633.
