    A-10A and Su-25 for DCS Flaming Cliffs Now Available

    Today, A-10A and Su-25 for DCS Flaming Cliffs went on sale for $14.99 on our online store: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.co...r=shop&lang=en

    These modules feature:

    1- Detailed 3D model (high polygon / high res textures)
    2- 6 DOF cockpit
    3- Advanced Flight Model (AFM)
    4- Same level of cockpit system detail as the Lock On: Flaming Cliffs aircraft

    We are releasing these modules for the following reasons:

    1- It allows users access to these aircraft that do not own, or want to own, Lock On.
    2- It allows users to buy just the aircraft they are interested in, without having to purchase the full Flaming Cliffs 3 product.
    3- It allows us to make these aircraft available to a much larger audience on Steam, Origin, GameFly and other digital retailers.

    If you already own FC3, you do NOT need to purchase these. The A-10A and Su-25 of FC3 are identical to the DCS Flaming Cliffs versions.

    DCS World 19 July 2013 News Update

    By Dave,
    19 July 2013 - DCS News Update

    For today's news update, I've gone pretty heavy on the pretty pictures. I've attached new images of:

    1- DCS: Fw 190D-9 that includes updated cockpit art.

    2- New images of the Su-33.

    3- Textured images of the new MQ-9 "Reaper" model.

    4- Updated images of the new Tu-22M3 "Backfire" along with a new Kh-22 model.

    5- New images of the Nevada map. This past week we started rebuilding the Nevada map with the new map tools, but it is still early and very rough... a lot of tuning and tweaking to still be done. Thankfully, we are nearing the end of this long journey and it is on track to be released later this year (seriously). I'm sure many of you have lots of questions about the map and the technology behind it, but I'm afraid I have no answers for you at this time. I have no direct contact with the map team and no access to the map build. However, as the map nears release, I'm sure I will have more information to pass along.

    The past week our team and the testers have continued debugging 1.2.5. and today we built the release build for final testing. If it passes testing, it should be released in the coming days. Given that it is so close, I have posted the updated change log for 1.2.5 below:

    DCS World 12 July 2013 News Update

    By Dave,
    12 July 2013 - DCS News Update

    This past week we have primarily been debugging DCS ver. 1.2.5. Progress is being made and it is still our hope to have it released before the end of this month. This is quite a large update, so naturally it is taking longer to debug than the earlier, smaller updates.

    Other parts of our team are working on new elements for Combined Arms. Two of many new features includes a radar display for radar-guided air defense systems and more realistic fire control systems for armored units. I've attached an early work in progress image of the new radar display.

    To better support new title like UH-1H and the upcoming Mi-8MTv2 helicopters, we are also developing the means for infantry to load and unload from them. We believe this will add a whole new level of game play for those modules.

    Our effect artists are busy improving many effects for both their visual appeal and performance. As mentioned last week, one example are new wing tip vortices. As more are completed, I will be sure to post them in future updates.

    Yesterday, Steam started their Summer Sale that includes both A-10C and Black Shark:

    28 June 2013 - DCS News Update

    Work continues on DCS version 1.2.5. You can read the list of planned changes here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=108764

    Kinney Interactive dropped their press release about their DCS: F-35A project this week. A Kickstarter program for this project has also started. You can read more about it from their official page here: http://www.kinneyinteractive.com/#!d...tning-ii/c1bom

    As a companion to the DCS: P-51D Mustang, and further our goal to broaden the scope of DCS to include multiple eras of aviation, work has been moving forward on the DCS: Fw 190D-9. I've attached some Work In Progress (WIP) renders of the "Dora" cockpit.   Matt
