Some images of the new terrain engine....19 August 2011
Sorry for the long drought in updates. Current the team is mostly focused on the Black Shark update, the next A-10C patch, the Nevada terrain, and our next DCS aircraft. Speaking of the Nevada terrain, here are a few new images that highlight the dynamic terrain shadowing system of our new terrain engine being used for Nevada, Eagle Dynamics Terrain Engine (EDGE).
Hope you like them.
Thanks,
Matt

There may be better sticks, but it works for me.
BTW you could try LOCK ON and it's addons - it is the forerunner of DCS http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lock-Air-Combat-Simulation-PC/dp/B000VOOULU/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1314314985&sr=1-3

any real good computers that will be good for flight sims thanks again
To be honest I'm no expert, again, you'd be better served asking on the official EAGLE/DCS forums (In the Hardware section) for other users experiences. http://forums.eagle.ru/index.php
That said, go for at least 4gb of RAM and get as fast a CPU and GPU as you can afford. Also read up on Overclocking, it might save you some cash. Also building your own computer from components will be cheaper.

Must pick up this game if I can drag myself away from racing sims Black Shark KA-50 was great but the learning curve was pretty steep. I do miss the printed game manuals that used to come as part of the game packaging - Falcon 4.0 springs to mind! 0

For those interested, the latest Info for DCS.
Moving to Core-Based System
Later in 2012, The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics will transition the DCS series to a core-based system. What do we mean by a core-based system? This means that the main DCS engine that includes the GUI interface will serve as the core that content modules plug into it. Such content could include vehicles, maps, campaigns, etc. This will allow purchased DCS content to be accessed through a single DCS core hub.
Not only will this allow previous and future DCS aircraft to be fully integrated, but it will also allow 3rd party content to be easily integrated into the DCS series.
DCS: P-51D Mustang Status
The Mustang is coming along nicely and is currently flying around the DCS world. Most of the focus is now on tuning the flight dynamics with input from a real Mustang operator. Other work continues on the P-51D audio, a very detailed engine model, missions, and the damage model. We will also include several authentic skins with the release product.
Open Beta Testing for Patches Coming
To better promote community involvement and have a much larger testing base, future DCS product patches will be available in beta version prior to final release. We hope this move will allow all customer voices to be heard prior to releasing a new patch and flush out any missed problems during internal testing. The next two patches will be for A-10C and Black Shark 2.
"DCS: P-51D Mustang" Pre-Purchase
As we did with "DCS: A-10C Warthog", we will be offering P-51D as a pre-purchase. As a pre-purchase, customers will have access to beta versions of the product.
Paid For User Content Now Available from DCS Web Site
Now in the User Files section on the DCS page, you have the option to filter between All, Free, and Paid For files. The Paid For content allows a distribution channel for third party developers to sell their work.
http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/?license=paid&set_filter=Y
Combined Arms and Flaming Cliffs 3 Update
Work also moved forward on these two products and we have some very interesting and fun new features in work for both products. More on those later.
The next DCS Jet
This DCS jet aircraft is still in its early stages and a lot can still change, even the aircraft itself. As such, we will not be announcing what aircraft this is until it is much further along.

Yeah its seriously deep. I bought it a few weeks ago and havnt had the inclination to work through all the tutorials yet. Its massivly detailed to say the least but I imagine very rewarding when you become proficient. I've found my projector I normally use for gaming isnt up to scratch running at 1024x768, the detail on all the controls just isnt there
I'm looking foward to getting more into it when winter kicks in properly.0 -

Forgot to post this too...
Looks like some Professional 3rd party aircraft are on the way for the new DCS:-World core.
http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=87621I'm happy to announce my first independent 3rd party module - "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed". This new module development is based on the new 3rd party License agreement/support that was previously announced by TFC/Eagle Dynamics. I plan to release MiG-21Bis later in 2012.
The MiG-21Bis is considered a third-generation, supersonic, jet fighter. It's avionics equipment ensures day and night operations in fair and poor weather conditions. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The MiG-21 broke a number of aviation records and it is still the most produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history.
"DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" includes both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground capabilities that includes various conventional weapons like missiles, rockets, bombs, and a built in 23mm cannon. "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" will also use less widely known weapons such as some advanced air-to-surface guided missiles, retarded and general purpose bombs, and some special devices.
Features of the "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed":
• Highly detailed six-degrees-of-freedom cockpit with dynamic shadows. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse like previous DCS products.
• Accurate airframe and realistic 3D cockpit model.
• Detailed modeling of the MiG-21Bis instruments, navigation, electrical, radar, engine, fuel, and weapon systems.
• Russian and English cockpit texts and hints
• Improved and more realistic airplane behaviors that are based on real MiG-21Bis pilot tests and instruction.

More good news, IRIS simulations (of FSX fame) are now developing aircraft modules for DCS
http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=203As it stands at the moment, we're one of a handful of 3rd party developers permitted to develop for DCS World. As has been stated to us, both IRIS and ED/TFC are in very early days with regards to 3rd party integration and we're both eager to see how the development process goes on both sides of the fence. We're also very enthusiastic to see developments progress..
All that being said, ED only has so much resources available to them, and they have to continue developments to DCS, do their own in-house product range and and other high priority things. In amongst that, they now have to develop an SDK (aka DCS development for dummies!) and hand hold a few choice 3rd party devs as we all work on our products.
Given all the above, it was made quite clear to our team by myself that it's pretty much a dive in the deep end and swim deal.. We have to come in and learn how things are done, how systems are coded, how flight models and audio are handled and much more. That's why we're focusing on building up as much knowledge from the community as possible.
So our thought process was thus.... Initially we thought "Great, let's do a fantastic in depth A-10C level of detail aircraft...." a few days later, we thought "Bugger, how are we going to do that when we're still learning how to put planes into DCS!"
After discussing with TFC and going over the business side of things, we're all of the opinion that it's far more beneficial to start simple and progressively increase complexity of products as a. our knowledge increases and b. ED's resources become more available.
Don't get me wrong, we're totally blown away by the support that ED/TFC are providing. We've worked with developers who've shown far less willingness to share information and assistance. We just aren't going to bite off more than we can chew..not at this stage.
So, the mindset in Team IRIS at the moment is as follows....
We develop our first aircraft for DCS which will likely be something fun yet simple. From this, we learn where we can improve, and what you as the customers want to see. Some thoughts are towards the Open Beta idea which TFC have encouraged. This allows us to provide a staggered product release over time, allowing us to get product to the customer earlier, and upgrade it as our skills and knowledge improve.
A prime example of this would be the development of a MFD system... initially, an aircraft might come with a single screen option without the possibility of changing screens, but as knowledge improves, you may see more depth to systems as upgrade patches etc.
As I said earlier, this is a learning experience for us. We know we're the new kids on the block with DCS, and whilst we're having great fun learning this platform and enjoying finally having a combat platform for our combat planes in, we're relying heavily on what you'd like to see.
If what you'd like to see fits into what we have the ability to produce, then that makes me a happy man.
David.

Just ******* awesome!!!
http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1472303&postcount=1Okay, we've had the green light from TFC to let you all know the products we have planned from the IRIS team over the next 3 year development cycle.
(I hope they won't take that long to make! lol)
Contracts have been signed for the following products;
IRIS F-15E Strike Eagle for DCS World
IRIS F-22 Raptor for DCS World
IRIS F-14D Tomcat for DCS World
I will say that the F-15E is being developed with the intention of being submitted to ED as a DCS branded product (ie. DCS: F-15E Strike Eagle) and of course will be one of the longest to develop.
The F-22 will be looking at making use of the AFM for thrust vectoring and we'll be discussing this further with ED.
The F-14D is likely to be the first completed aircraft from the stable if all goes well.
We will be looking at the best way to develop these products from a business perspective over the coming weekend after a team meeting.
There MAY be another project being added to the list as a fourth product was dropped from the list at the last moment. We'll let you know when we know..
Anyway, have fun... it's nearly 1am here and I need to get away from this PC.. I'll see you all tomorrow..
Ciao folks..
Spanky.

Another Developer to develop for DCS...Virtual European Air Operations is pleased to announce our development strategy for DCS.
First, a little about VEAO (yes I know, you want me to cut to the chase).
We have been around since 2005 developing models for FC1.12a and FC2, specifically the BAE Hawk and Eurofighter Typhoon.
The Hawk has been used by the Virtual Red Arrows aerobatic display team since then and has had a few updated versions through FC1 and Flaming Cliffs 2 into the incarnation that we currently use today and more recently featured on our latest video showing the 3d cockpit.
The Typhoon was developed specifically for the RAF Recruitment team for use at the Waddington International Airshow back in 2009 and 2010.
Two pilots from 3 squadron in front of the head-to-head challenge at Waddington
Since then we have been developing further for FC2, including a 3d cockpit with MFD and HUD integration. Due to a few snags and limited hard coded functionality we decided to continue with development in anticipation of the release of DCS and stop further FC2 development.
As you can imagine, the Typhoon is going to be a big challenge. Therefore we have decided to develop and release the BAE Hawk first.
Os others have said before us, we need to take baby steps. Learning how we can fully integrate into the DCS World and give you the experience you want, and deserve.
We have an excellent team that have a lot of experience making mods for FC1 and FC2 and a lot of this knowledge has already been easily transferred into DCS. But there is still much to learn, much to remodel, much to re-skin, much to get the flight model right, etc etc.
So our development plan is simple yet robust and will give the fidelity that you want and deserve.
Our first development is the BAE Hawk T.1A trainer.Why the Hawk? Well first, simply its the jet we have modelled, skinned and fully working in FC2 and has the simplest of features to get working in DCS as the cockpit is mostly analogue. It allows us to get into the inner workings of DCS and allows us to produce a high quality product without having to get too technical with MFCD functionality, advanced radar dynamics, etc.
Secondly, it's the fast jet trainer that the RAF (and other air forces) use for pilots getting into the Fast Jet Programme. This also fits in with our ACTS concept which I'll talk about a little later.
We have also discussed producing the Hawk Mk. 128 T2 variant.
The Mk. 128 includes modern LCD displays instead of conventional instrumentation, and allows preparation for flying modern fighter aircraft, particularly the all "glass" Typhoon.
And so, on to my favourite jet, the Eurofighter Typhoon. Ever since our first developments back in 2008 for the RAF Recruitment team we have loved working on this aircraft. She is complex as hell, flies like a bat out of hell and quite frankly is a match for any other aircraft in the world, even putting the Raptor to hard work in recent exercises.
This baby is going to be a beast to build into DCS and one hell of a challenge, but it's going to be great fun!!
We will start with an early tranche, most likely the Block 1 moving onto Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 with complex Air-to-Ground systems and full DCS integration.
And onto ACTS as I mentioned earlier. The Air Combat Training School was something we came up with for a proposal to the RAF back in 2010. Due to budget cuts and other factors it never took off (excuse the intended pun). The ACTS fits in line with the current RAF Fast Jet training programme utilising the Hawk and then moving onto the Typhoon. We feel that this is important in the development and learning of the two aircraft systems and capabilities and elements of ACTS will be built into the core VEAO modules.
As other development teams have mentioned, DCS is a big learning curve for all of us. However, the VEAO ethos is to always share what we have learnt to allow others to create and I have spoken briefly to other teams about knowledge sharing to allow development paths to be aligned rather than going out and all finding the same things by ourselves.
We will post regular updates and eye candy and we will listen to your comments, suggestions and wishes.
]Please also visit our forums at www.veao.eu[/COLOR] and keep an eye on Facebook updates.
I hope you are as excited at these times as we are, with all of the development work going on to give us all great products to fly in awesome simulator.
Best wishes

IRIS starting also to develop the T-38A Talon (Top Gun Mig-28s ) for DCS: World. Good stuff.So, we've been listening to what you want on the forums and after long discussions within the team and with the publishers, we're happy to confirm development of the IRIS T-38A Talon for DCS: World!
This decision has been based largely on the feedback we've received from you guys on what you'd like to see, and based of course on the production assets available to us.
The T-38A Talon will be aimed at release prior to the F-15E, essentially allowing us to step up our skills in project development. Whilst we have yet to firmly set out project content, we are anticipating to include a training syllabus similar in structure and content to that which the US Air Force uses.
We will of course, be calling on the community to involve themselves where possible, and we will be providing regular updates on development to keep you all in the loop.
We look forward to the bright future this new platform brings and I hope you all will enjoy and take part in this next step in our development process.
Regards
David.
