Eagle Dynamics have put out their customary DCS World Weekend News update and this week we’ve got some interesting new details on the G.91, there’s the Lunar New Year Sale, and a summary of their latest patch release. Let’s have a look!
G.91 progressing
We’ve heard recently from IndiaFoxtEcho on their development work on their G.91 project. The late 1950s era fighter-bomber has been in development for a while now and was announced back in 2022 as the developer’s follow-on project after the MB.339. Four variants, the G.91A, R-1B, R-3, and R-4 represent a good selection of the variants built.
The status report says that the team focused on redesigning the cockpit to meet high model and detail standards and are working now on the external model to match.
A preview of the untextured exterior model shows off some of the different configurations. Note most of them fitted with four M3 .50cal machine guns while one of them sports the 30mm DEFA cannon.
Eagle Dynamics also reports that the aircraft’s weapons are implemented including the MCLOS (manually guided) AS-20 Nord.
Development is ongoing and I’m looking forward to further updates through the year.
Lunar New Year
The Lunar New Year sale is now on and will last until February 10. Most modules are available for 50% off with some like the F-16C, F/A-18 and JF-17 coming in at 40% off. The Tomcat and I-16 are 35% off while many campaigns and maps are 30% off.
Notably, and I know at least one or two readers will want to know about this, the MB-339 is for the first time on for 50% off. Maybe a little nod to the G.91 update. My review of the module is here.
The sale is currently on only for the DCS E-Shop.
Patch update
Eagle Dynamics have also summarized their latest update to the sim. There are quite a few fixes listed by the changelog with one of the more notable ones being a fix that restores the ability for George AI on the AH-64 and Petrovich AI on the Mi-24 to see ground targets when fog is set to auto.
The DCS: F-5E Remastered version also gets seven new liveries, corrections to the 3D model, corrected formation lights, and there’s now a new texture template which means that we should see lots of new user made liveries soon.
There’s also a laundry list of other fixes. Read the change log to see what’s changed here.
