DCS World War II News

In commemoration of the June 1944 D-Day landings, we have several DCS World War II updates we’d like to bring you. We see DCS World War II as a very important component of DCS World and it will continue to grow with new features, content, and numerous improvements. We are just getting started.

Normandy 1944 Map for DCS World Update

Working with the Ugra Media, the developer or the Normandy map, we will be releasing a free update to this map in June. This map is the ideal battleground for our warbirds that focuses on northern France in the summer on 1944.



More screenshots

Coming improvements include:

• More detailed objects and realistic airfield textures. The textures now reflect the more dusty, lighter, sandy surfaces
  
• Removal of permanent structures from ALG airfields
  
• Concrete surfaces for the airfields of Evreux, Carpiquet, and Tangmere
  
• Shallow water zones along the coastal areas
  
• New stone bridges
  
• More structures like farm houses outside the detailed areas of the map
  
• Added more objects like windmills
  
• Improved performance

Free DCS: World War II Assets Pack Update

To provide a more realistic and populated World War II environment, new assets are being added to the World War II assets pack this month.

Some of these new units include:

• M12 gun motor carriage
  
• M30 cargo carrier
  
• M2A1/M3 halftrack
  
• StuG IV
  
• Sd.Kfz. 234/2 “Puma”
  
• Sd.Kfz. 7 artillery tractor
  
• Sd.Kfz. 251
  
• Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad
  
• Horch staff car
  
• Barrage balloons
  
• LCVP Higgins boats
  
• UK soldier

There is no additional charge for all of these new units.
Many new air, ground and sea units will be coming in later updates.

Spitfire LF Mk.IX Update

Also this month will see the completion of the Spitfire with a clipped wing version, the ability to carry bombs, and the ability to mount both a slipper tank or external fuel tank. The will give our Spitfire far more mission capability like cross-channel patrols and ground attacks.



More screenshots

This will make the DCS Spitfire an incredibly accurate simulation of the Spitfire LF Mk.IX, with a fully interactive cockpit, detailed sub-systems, and a professional flight model. Based on hands-on feedback from pilots that have hundreds of hours in the Spitfire LF Mk.IX, we are very proud of this showcase title.

In cooperation with talented 3rd parties, we also have some amazing, new Spitfire campaigns coming to DCS World that take advantage of these new features.

Static Templates Coming to DCS World

Static Templates are sets of objects that can be placed on the map and saved as a single entity. After a template is created, it can be saved and shared with others. Multiple instances of a Static Template can then be placed to create more interesting and populated missions. In addition to statics, AI units can also be placed in the template.

Examples of potential Static Templates include:

• Atlantic Wall fortifications
  
• Harbor traffic at Le Havre and Cherbourg
  
• Battlefield front lines
  
• Munition and fuel depots
  
• Headquarters units
  
• Airfield support units

Static templates allow better performance and faster construction of missions and campaigns. This will be valuable tool to offer even better gameplay content.

DCS: Spitfire LF Mk.IX and DCS: Normandy 1944 Map Updates

DCS World War II has two great updates this week! The first is the addition of several new features to the Spitfire. These include a new clipped wing version, slipper and torpedo fuel tanks, the ability to carry bombs, and continued to refinements to the flight dynamics. Together, these new features give the Spitfire longer legs and a more diverse mission capability. With these additions, we are pleased to announce that the Spitfire is now feature complete and out of early access.



More screenshots

The second big DCS World War II element is a substantial update to the Normandy 1944 map. The biggest improvements being updated and more accurate airfields, new concrete runways for appropriate airfields, shallow water effects, new objects like windmills and scattered farm houses, smoother beach transitions, regional specific bridges, and improved performance.




Another three elements currently in development, that will also improve the DCS World II experience is the new damage model, an improved sighting system, and improved dogfight AI!

World War II Assets Update

In addition to the new aircraft we recently discussed, we continue to add new ground units. The next will be the Sturmgeschütz (Stug) III. The Stug III was a German assault gun and the second most produced German armor vehicle of the Second World War. Designed as an infantry support weapon with a 7.5 cm L/48 gun, it was built on the Panzer III chassis, but was also used as a tank destroyer.

DCS: P-51D Mustang Update

The Mustang was our first World War II aircraft and was pivotal in laying the ground work for our later warbirds. Since its initial release though, our graphic technologies have greatly improved, and the Mustang is starting to show its age. As with other DCS World aircraft, we are dramatically improving both the cockpit and external model of the Mustang. Both will use Physical Based Rendering (PBR) and Deferred Lighting (DF) to radically improve the aesthetics of this iconic DCS warbird. This will be a FREE update to Mustang owners!

Today we have some work-in-progress images of the updated cockpit.

DCS: Fw 190 A-8 Coming to DCS World!

Our next warbird coming to DCS World will be the Focke-Wulf 190 A-8 Würger (Strike) of the German Luftwaffe. Designed by Kurt Tank in the 1930s, the Fw 190 was a single seat German fighter powered by a powerful BMW 801 radial engine. When first deployed, it provide largely superior to its main rival: the Spitfire Mk.V. This in turn led to the development of the Spitfire Mk.IX. We look forward to some great online dogfights between the Fw 190 A-8 and the Spitfire Mk.IX!

Capable of both aerial and ground attack missions, the A-8 model entered production in February 1944 and included thicker armor and improved engine design. We see the “Butcher Bird” as a great addition to the stable of DCS World War II aircraft and will be a perfect fit for the Normandy map!
